Exodus 20
1 Ọlọ́run sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí pé,
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
2 “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó mú un yín jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, láti oko ẹrú jáde wá.
“I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
3 “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ní ọlọ́run mìíràn pẹ̀lú mi.
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
4 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ère fún ara yín, tàbí àwòrán ohun kan tí ń bẹ ní òkè ọ̀run, tàbí ti ohun kan tí ń bẹ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀, tàbí ti ohun kan tí ń bẹ nínú omi ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀.
You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
5 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ orí ara rẹ ba fún wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sìn wọ́n; nítorí Èmi Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Ọlọ́run owú ni mí, tí ń bẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba wò lára àwọn ọmọ, láti ìran kẹta títí dé ẹ̀kẹrin nínú àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi.
You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
6 Èmi a sì máa fi àánú hàn sí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àwọn tí ó fẹ́ mi, tí wọ́n sì ń pa òfin mi mọ́.
But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
7 Ẹ má ṣe ṣi orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín lò, torí pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí o bá ṣi orúkọ rẹ̀ lò kì yóò lọ láìjẹ̀bi.
Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
8 Rántí ọjọ́ ìsinmi láti yà á sí mímọ́.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
9 Ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni ìwọ yóò fi ṣiṣẹ́, kí ìwọ kí ó ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ rẹ,
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
10 ṣùgbọ́n ọjọ́ keje ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ: nínú rẹ̀ ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́kíṣẹ́ kan: ìwọ, àti ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ obìnrin, àti ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ, àti àlejò rẹ, tí ń bẹ nínú ibodè rẹ.
but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
11 Nítorí ní ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni Olúwa dá ọ̀run àti ayé, òkun àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú wọn, ó sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje: nítorí náà ni Olúwa ṣe bùkún ọjọ́ ìsinmi tí ó sì yà á sí mímọ́.
I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
12 Bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba òun ìyá rẹ, kí ọjọ́ rẹ kí ó lè pẹ́ ní orí ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
13 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn.
Do not murder anyone.
14 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
15 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jalè.
Do not steal anything.
16 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ́rìí èké sí ẹnìkejì rẹ.
Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
17 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ojúkòkòrò sí ilé ẹnìkéjì rẹ. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ojúkòkòrò sí aya ẹnìkéjì rẹ, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin, akọ màlúù rẹ̀ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí í ṣe ti ẹnìkéjì rẹ.”
Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
18 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn náà rí mọ̀nàmọ́ná tí wọ́n sí gbọ́ ohùn ìpè àti èéfín tí ń rú láti orí òkè, tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ sísán àrá, dídún ìpè kíkankíkan; wọ́n dúró ní òkèrè wọ́n sì ń gbọ̀n ṣìgàṣìgà fún ìbẹ̀rù.
When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
19 Wọ́n wí fún Mose pé, “Ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ máa bá wa sọ̀rọ̀, àwa yóò sì gbọ́. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ kí ó bá wa sọ̀rọ̀, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, àwa yóò kú.”
and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
20 Mose sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ má bẹ̀rù. Ọlọ́run wá láti dán an yín wò, kí ẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run kí ó lè máa wà ní ara yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe ṣẹ̀.”
Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
21 Àwọn ènìyàn sì dúró ní òkèèrè nígbà tí Mose súnmọ́ ibi òkùnkùn biribiri níbi tí Ọlọ́run wà.
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
22 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Sọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ará Israẹli, ‘Ẹ̀yin ti rí i fúnra yín bí èmi ti bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀run wá.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
23 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ sin ọlọ́run mìíràn pẹ̀lú mi: ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ rọ ọlọ́run fàdákà tàbí ọlọ́run wúrà fún ara yín.
24 “‘Pẹpẹ erùpẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ mọ fún mi. Ní orí pẹpẹ yìí ni kí ìwọ ti máa rú ẹbọ sísun rẹ sí mi àti ẹbọ àlàáfíà rẹ, àgùntàn rẹ, ewúrẹ́ àti akọ màlúù rẹ. Ní ibi gbogbo tí mo gbé fi ìrántí orúkọ mi sí, èmi yóò sì máa tọ̀ ọ́ wá, èmi yóò sì máa bùkún ọ níbẹ̀.
Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
25 Bí ìwọ bá ṣe pẹpẹ òkúta fún mi, má ṣe fi òkúta tí a ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ kọ́ ọ, nítorí bí ìwọ bá lo ohun ọnà rẹ lórí rẹ̀, ìwọ sọ ọ di àìmọ́.
If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
26 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ gun àkàsọ̀ lọ sí ibi pẹpẹ mi, kí àwọn ènìyàn má ba à máa wo ìhòhò rẹ láti abẹ́ aṣọ tí ìwọ wọ̀ nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń gòkè lọ sí ibi pẹpẹ.’
Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
