3 Mose 20
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 ‘Obiara a ofi mo mu a ɔde ne ba bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Molek no, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔhɔho no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no. Ɛsɛ sɛ wosiw no abo.
Tshono futhi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngulowo lalowo wabantwana bakoIsrayeli, loba owabezizweni abahlala njengabezizwe koIsrayeli, onikela okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, uzabulawa lokubulawa, abantu belizwe bazamkhanda ngamatshe.
3 Na mʼankasa metia saa onipa no na mayi no afi ne nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ ɔde ne ba ama Molek ama wagu me kronkronbea ne me din kronkron no ho fi.
Mina-ke ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomuntu, ngimqume asuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo, ngoba enikele okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, ukuze angcolise indlu yami engcwele, eyise ibizo lami elingcwele.
4 Na sɛ nnipa a wɔte mpɔtam hɔ no nso boapa yɛ wɔn ho sɛ wonnim sɛ ɔbarima no de ne ba abɔ afɔre ama Molek na wɔankum no a, mʼankasa metia
Uba-ke abantu belizwe befihla lokufihla amehlo abo kulowomuntu nxa enikela okwenzalo yakhe kuMoleki, ukuze bangambulali,
5 ɔbarima no ne ne fifo na matwa ɔno ne nnipa a wɔde wɔn ho to anyame foforo so no nyinaa afi wɔn nkurɔfo mu.
mina ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomuntu njalo bumelane losapho lwakhe, ngimqume labo bonke abaphinga emva kwakhe, ukuthi baphinge belandela uMoleki, basuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
6 “‘Metia obiara a ɔkɔ asuman ne ahonhom nkyɛn okodi wɔn akyi aguaman so, na matwa saa onipa no afi ne nkurɔfo mu.
Umphefumulo, ophendukela-ke kulabo abalamadlozi lakwabalumbayo ukuphinga ubalandela, ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lalowomphefumulo, ngiwuqume usuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
7 “‘Enti montew mo ho na monyɛ kronkron na mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.
Ngakho zingcweliseni libe ngcwele, ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me mmara nyinaa so, efisɛ mene Awurade a meyɛ mo kronkron no.
Njalo gcinani izimiso zami, lizenze. NgiyiNkosi elingcwelisayo.
9 “‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome nʼagya anaa ne na no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no, efisɛ wadome ne na ne nʼagya, ne mogya begu nʼatifi.
Ngoba ngulowo lalowo othuka uyise kumbe unina uzabulawa lokubulawa; uthukile uyise kumbe unina; igazi lakhe liphezu kwakhe.
10 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi kɔfa obi yere a, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum ɔbarima no ne ɔbea no nyinaa wɔabɔ aguaman.
Lendoda efeba lomfazi womuntu, efeba lomkamakhelwane wayo, izabulawa lokubulawa, isifebe lesifebekazi.
11 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi ne nʼagya yere da a, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum ɔbarima no ne ɔbea no, wɔn mogya begu wɔn atifi.
Lendoda elala lomkayise yembule ubunqunu bukayise; bobabili bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
12 “‘Na sɛ ɔbarima bi kɔfa nʼase a ɔyɛ ne babarima yere a, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum wɔn baanu no nyinaa; wɔn ankasa na wɔagu wɔn ho wɔn ho fi; wɔn mogya begu wɔn atifi.
Lendoda elala lomalokazana wayo, bobabili bazabulawa lokubulawa; benze ingxube; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
13 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi fa ne yɔnko barima a, wonkum wɔn baanu no nyinaa; wɔn mogya begu wɔn ankasa atifi.
Lendoda elala lowesilisa njengokulala lowesifazana, bobabili benze isinengiso; bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
14 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi fa ɔbea bi na ɔsan kɔfa ɔbea no na ka ho a, ɛyɛ atiwuisɛm. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew saa nnipa baasa yi nyinaa anikann de apepa amumɔyɛsɛm no afi mo mu.
Lendoda ethatha umfazi kanye lonina, kuyinkohlakalo. Bazatshiswa ngomlilo, yena labo, ukuze kungabi khona inkohlakalo phakathi kwenu.
15 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi fa aboa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum ɔbarima no na wokum aboa no nso.
Lendoda elala lenyamazana, izabulawa lokubulawa, futhi lizayibulala inyamazana.
16 “‘Sɛ ɔbea nso ma aboa fa no a, munkum ɔbea no ne aboa no nyinaa; wɔn mogya begu wɔn ankasa atifi.
Lowesifazana osondela lakuyiphi inyamazana ukulala layo, uzabulala owesifazana lenyamazana; bazabulawa lokubulawa; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
17 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima ne ne nuabea da a, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼagya babea o, sɛ nso ɛyɛ ne na babea o, ɛyɛ animguasesɛm, wobegyina bagua mu ayi wɔn afi wɔn nkurɔfo mu. Ɔbarima no ara bɛsoa nʼafɔdi.
Lendoda ethatha udadewabo, indodakazi kayise loba indodakazi kanina, ibone ubunqunu bakhe, laye abone ubunqunu bayo, kulihlazo; njalo bazaqunywa emehlweni abantwana babantu bakibo; yembule ubunqunu bukadadewabo; izathwala ububi bayo.
18 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi kɔfa ɔbea a wabu ne nsa a, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi wɔn fi wɔn nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ ɔbarima no ada ɔbea no adagyaw adi.
Lendoda elala lowesifazana ogulayo, yembule ubunqunu bakhe, inqunule umthombo wakhe, laye wembule umthombo wegazi lakhe, bobabili bazaqunywa basuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
19 “‘Sɛ obi ne nʼagya nuabea da a, ɛyɛ akyiwade. Saa ara nso na ɔne ne na nuabea da a, ɛyɛ akyiwade ara ne no, efisɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛ mogya baako. Wɔn baanu nyinaa bɛsoa wɔn afɔdi.
Njalo ungembuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko, loba obukadadewabo kayihlo; ngoba wembule isihlobo sakhe; bazathwala ububi babo.
20 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi fa nʼagya nuabarima yere a, wafa ade a ɛyɛ nʼagya nuabarima no dea; wɔn asotwe ne sɛ, wɔbɛsoa wɔn bɔne awu a wɔrenwo ba.
Lendoda elala lomkamfowabo kayise, yembule ubunqunu bomfowabo kayise; bazathwala isono sabo; bafe bengelabantwana.
21 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima bi ware ne nua yere a, ɛyɛ afide, efisɛ wafa ne nua ade na wɔn nyinaa renwo ba.
Lendoda ethatha umkamfowabo, kuyikungcola; yembule ubunqunu bukamfowabo; bazakuba ngabangelabantwana.
22 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me mmara nyinaa so na mampam mo amfi mo asase foforo yi so.
Ngakho gcinani zonke izimiso zami lezahlulelo zonke zami, lizenze, ukuze ilizwe engililetha kulo ukuhlala kulo lingalihlanzi.
23 Munnni ɔman no amanne a maka no mo anim sɛ enye no akyi, efisɛ nneɛma a wɔyɛ a enye no nyinaa, mabɔ mo ho kɔkɔ dedaw. Ɛno nti na mikyi saa aman no.
Njalo lingahambi ngezimiso zesizwe engisixotshayo phambi kwenu; ngoba benze zonke lezizinto; ngakho nganengwa yibo.
24 Mahyɛ mo wɔn asase no ho bɔ sɛ mede bɛma mo. Ɛyɛ asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a mama mo ada nsow wɔ aman a aka no nyinaa mu.
Kodwa ngathi kini: Lizakudla ilifa lelizwe labo; mina ngizalinika ukuthi lidle ilifa lalo, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, olehlukanise labezizwe.
25 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso muhu nnomaa ne mmoa a mama mo ho kwan sɛ monwe wɔn nam ne wɔn a ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe wɔn nam no ntam nsonoe. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mmoa ne nnomaa a mabra sɛ monnnwe no, wɔabu so wɔ asase no so de, nanso monnnwe mfa ngu mo ho fi nhyɛ me abufuw.
Ngakho yehlukanisani phakathi kwenyamazana ezihlambulukileyo lezingahlambulukanga, laphakathi kwezinyoni ezingahlambulukanga lezihlambulukileyo; lingenzi imiphefumulo yenu inengeke ngezinyamazana loba ngezinyoni loba ngakuphi okuhuquzelayo emhlabathini, engikwehlukanise lani njengokungcolileyo.
26 Mobɛyɛ kronkron ama me, efisɛ me Awurade, meyɛ kronkron na mayi mo afi nnipa nyinaa mu asi nkyɛn sɛ moyɛ me de.
Njalo lizakuba ngcwele kimi, ngoba mina Nkosi ngingcwele; ngilehlukanisile labezizwe ukuze libe ngabami.
27 “‘Ɔbarima anaa ɔbea a ɔyɛ samanfrɛfo anaasɛ osumanni wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mukum no. Ɛsɛ sɛ musiw no abo; ne mogya begu nʼankasa atifi.’”
Njalo owesilisa loba owesifazana, abalamadlozi loba abalumbayo, bazabulawa lokubulawa, bazabakhanda ngamatshe; igazi labo liphezu kwabo.
