Baʼuu 20
1 Waaqni akkana jedhee dubbii kana hunda dubbate:
And God spake all these words saying: —
2 “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan Gibxii, biyya garbummaatii si baasee dha.
I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 “Ati ana malee waaqota biraa tokko illee hin qabaatin.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides 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.
Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
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
thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
6 warra na jaallatanii ajajawwan koo eegan immoo hamma dhaloota kumaatti jaallatuu dha.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them 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.
Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Guyyaa Sanbataa qulqulleessuudhaan yaadadhu.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
9 Guyyoota jaʼa hojjedhu; hojii kee hundas hojjetadhu;
Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
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 a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
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, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.
Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Hin ajjeesin.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
14 Hin ejjin.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Hin hatin.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Ollaa keetti sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin.
Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
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.”
Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
18 Jarri hundinuus yommuu bakakkaa fi balaqqeessa, sagalee malakataatii fi tulluu aaru hubatanitti sodaadhaan hollatan. Isaan fagoo dhaabatanii
And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
19 Museedhaan, “Ati mataan kee nutti dubbadhu; nu ni dhaggeeffannaa. Garuu Waaqni nutti hin dubbatin. Yoo kanaa achii nu ni dhumnaa” jedhan.
And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, —but let not God speak with us lest we 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.
And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Yeroo Museen dukkana limixii iddoo Waaqni turetti dhiʼaatetti, namoonni fagoo dhaabatan.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
22 Ergasii Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Saba Israaʼelitti waan kana himi: ‘Akka ani samii irraa isinitti dubbadhe isin mataan keessan argitaniirtu;
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 ana biratti waaqota kam iyyuu hin tolfatinaa. Waaqota meetii yookaan waaqota warqee hin tolfatinaa.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
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.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
25 Yoo dhagaa irraa iddoo aarsaa naa ijaarte immoo dhagaa soofame irraa hin ijaarin; yoo meeshaadhaan isa tuqxe ni xureessitaatii.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
26 Akka qullaan kee isa irratti hin mulʼanneef gulantaadhaan iddoo aarsaa kootti ol hin baʼin.’
neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
