Baʼuu 20
1 Waaqni akkana jedhee dubbii kana hunda dubbate:
God spoke all the following words:
2 “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan Gibxii, biyya garbummaatii si baasee dha.
“I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the land of your slavery.
3 “Ati ana malee waaqota biraa tokko illee hin qabaatin.
You must not have any other gods except me.
4 Ati bifa waan ol samii gubbaa yookaan gad lafa irra yookaan bishaan lafa jalaa keessa jiru kamiitiin iyyuu Waaqa tolfamaa ofii keetiif hin tolfatin.
You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
5 Isaaniif hin sagadin yookaan isaan hin waaqeffatin; ani Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa hinaafu kan sababii cubbuu abbootiitiif jedhee ijoollee warra na jibbanii hamma dhaloota sadii fi afuriitti adabee
You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
6 warra na jaallatanii ajajawwan koo eegan immoo hamma dhaloota kumaatti jaallatuu dha.
but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
7 Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii akkasumaan hin dhaʼin; Waaqayyo warra akkuma argan maqaa isaa dhaʼan utuu hin adabin hin dhiisuutii.
You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
8 Guyyaa Sanbataa qulqulleessuudhaan yaadadhu.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 Guyyoota jaʼa hojjedhu; hojii kee hundas hojjetadhu;
You have six days to work and earn your living,
10 guyyaan torbaffaan garuu sanbata Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii ti. Gaafas hojii tokko illee hin hojjetin; ati yookaan ilmi kee yookaan intalli kee yookaan hojjetaan kee yookaan xomboreen kee yookaan horiin kee yookaan alagaan magaalaa kee keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu homaa hin hojjetin.
but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
11 Waaqayyo guyyaa jaʼa keessatti samii fi lafa, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hunda uumee guyyaa torbaffaatti boqoteetii. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Sanbata eebbisee qulqulleesse.
For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 Akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.
Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 Hin ajjeesin.
You must not murder.
14 Hin ejjin.
You must not commit adultery.
15 Hin hatin.
You must not steal.
16 Ollaa keetti sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin.
You must not give false evidence against others.
17 Mana namaa hin hawwin. Niitii namaa yookaan hojjetaa isaa yookaan xomboree isaa yookaan qotiyyoo isaa yookaan harree isaa yookaan waan namaa kam iyyuu hin hawwin.”
You must not desire to have anyone else's house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them.”
18 Jarri hundinuus yommuu bakakkaa fi balaqqeessa, sagalee malakataatii fi tulluu aaru hubatanitti sodaadhaan hollatan. Isaan fagoo dhaabatanii
When all the people heard the thunder and the sound of the trumpet, and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off.
19 Museedhaan, “Ati mataan kee nutti dubbadhu; nu ni dhaggeeffannaa. Garuu Waaqni nutti hin dubbatin. Yoo kanaa achii nu ni dhumnaa” jedhan.
“You speak to us, and we'll listen,” they said to Moses. “But don't let God speak to us, or we'll die.”
20 Museen immoo saba sanaan, “Hin sodaatinaa. Akka Waaqa sodaachuun isin wajjin jiraatee cubbuu hojjechuu irraa isin eeguuf jedhee Waaqni isin qoruuf dhufeera” jedhe.
Moses told them, “Do not be afraid, for God has only come to test you. He wants you to be in awe of him so that you don't sin.”
21 Yeroo Museen dukkana limixii iddoo Waaqni turetti dhiʼaatetti, namoonni fagoo dhaabatan.
The people stood a long way off as Moses went over to the thick, dark cloud where God was.
22 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Saba Israaʼelitti waan kana himi: ‘Akka ani samii irraa isinitti dubbadhe isin mataan keessan argitaniirtu;
The Lord told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves that I spoke with you from heaven.
23 ana biratti waaqota kam iyyuu hin tolfatinaa. Waaqota meetii yookaan waaqota warqee hin tolfatinaa.
You must not make any idols of silver or gold to worship in addition to me.
24 “‘Biyyoo lafaa irraa iddoo aarsaa naa tolchiitii isa irratti qalma gubamu, aarsaa nagaa, hoolota kee, reʼoota keetii fi loon kee aarsaa dhiʼeessi. Ani iddoo akka maqaan koo itti yaadatamu godhu hundatti gara kee dhufee sin eebbisa.
Make me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I decide to be worshiped, I will come to you and bless you.
25 Yoo dhagaa irraa iddoo aarsaa naa ijaarte immoo dhagaa soofame irraa hin ijaarin; yoo meeshaadhaan isa tuqxe ni xureessitaatii.
Now if you make an altar out of stones for me, you must not build it with cut stones, because if you use a chisel to cut the stone, you make it unholy.
26 Akka qullaan kee isa irratti hin mulʼanneef gulantaadhaan iddoo aarsaa kootti ol hin baʼin.’
Also, you must not go up to my altar using steps, so your private parts are not seen.’”
