ʻEkisotosi 20
1 Pea naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi folofola ni kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, kuo u ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “ʻOua naʻa ke maʻu mo au ha ʻotua kehe ʻi hoku ʻao.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
4 “ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi kiate koe ha fakatātā, pe ha meʻa fakatatau ʻe taha ʻi ha meʻa ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo ni, pe ki ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he vai ʻi he lalo fonua:
“You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 “ʻOua naʻa ke punou hifo koe kiate kinautolu, pe tauhi ki ai: he ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa au, ʻoku ou totongi ʻae hia ʻae ngaahi tamai ki he fānau, ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata ʻokinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au;
you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 Pea u fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “ʻOua naʻa ke takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lau ʻe Sihova ko e taʻehalaia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne takuanoa hono huafa.
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 “Manatu ki he ʻaho Sāpate, ke tauhi ia ke māʻoniʻoni.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke ngāue ai, ʻo fai ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē:
You shall labour six days, and do all your work,
10 Ka ko hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ko e Sāpate ia ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ʻi ai ha ngāue ʻe taha, ʻa koe, pe ko ho foha, pe ko ho ʻofefine, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pe ko hoʻo kaunanga, pe ko hoʻo fanga manu, pe ko e muli ʻoku nofo ʻi ho lotoʻā;
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
11 He naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono, ʻae langi, mo e fonua, mo e tahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, pea ne mālōlō ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho: ko ia naʻe tāpuakiʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻaho Sāpate ʻo ne fakatapui ia.
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
12 “Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē: koeʻuhi ke fuoloa ho ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.
“Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 “ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō.
“You shall not murder.
14 “ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine.
“You shall not commit adultery.
15 “ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa.
“You shall not steal.
16 ʻOua naʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
17 “ʻOua naʻa ke manumanu ki he fale ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, ʻoua naʻa ke manumanu ki he mali ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, pe ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ki heʻene kaunanga, pe ki heʻene fanga pulu, pe ki heʻene asi, pe ki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”
18 Pea naʻe mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ngaahi mana, mo e ngaahi ʻuhila, mo e longoaʻa lahi ʻoe meʻa lea, mo e kohu ʻoe moʻunga: pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki ai, naʻa nau holomui, ʻo tuʻu mai mei he mamaʻo.
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
19 Pea naʻa nau lea kia Mōsese, “Ke ke lea koe kiate kimautolu, pea te mau tokanga ki ai: kaeʻoua naʻa folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimautolu, telia naʻa mau mate.
They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 Pea talaange ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē; he kuo hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua, ko homou ʻahiʻahiʻi, pea ke ʻi homou ʻao ʻene manavahē, ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai angahala.”
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kakai mei he mamaʻo, pea ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Mōsese ki he poʻuli matolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻafio ai ʻae ʻOtua.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kuo mou mamata ki heʻeku lea kiate kimoutolu mei langi.
The LORD said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 ʻOua naʻa mou ngaohi ke fakalahi ʻaki au ha ngaahi ʻotua siliva, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua koula.
You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
24 Ke ke ngaohi ʻae feilaulauʻanga kelekele kiate au, pea ke fai ai hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, ʻa hoʻo fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu: pea ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ou fakahā ai hoku huafa, te u haʻu ai kiate koe, pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
25 Pea kapau ʻoku ke fie ngaohi kiate au ʻae feilaulauʻanga maka, ʻoua naʻa ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae maka kuo tā: he kapau te ke hiki ki ai ha toki, kuo ke ʻuliʻi ia.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu hake ʻi ha tuʻunga ki hoku feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa ʻiloʻi ai hoʻo telefua.
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
