Exodus 20 (GAX)

1Waaqi jechoota asii gad jiru kana mara dubbate:And God spoke all these words:

2«Ani Mootii Waan Maraa Waaqa keeti, ka lafa garbumma'aa, biyya Gibxi'ii keessaa si baase.“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

3«Ana malee waaqota dhibii hin waaqonfatin.You shall have no other gods before Me.

4«Bifa waan ol-gubbaa jiruutiin yookiin waan lafa irra jiruutiin yookiin waan bisaan keessa jiruutiin, bifa waan tokkootille'een waaqa dharaa hin hujatin.You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

5Isaaniif hin sagadin; isaan hin waaqonfatinille'e. Ani Mootiin Waan Maraa Waaqi keeti Waaqa hinaatticha waan te'eef, worra na jibbu sababa cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiif, ijoollee isaanii haga dhaloota sadiitii fi afuriititti hin adaba.You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

6Worra na jaalatuu fi worra ajaja kiyya eegatu ammoo dhaloota isaanii haga dhaloota kumaatitti jaalala kiyya ka bara baraa isaanitti hin mudhisa.but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7«Ani Mootiin Waan Maraa nama maqaa kiyya akkasumaan dhowu adabu malee waan hin lakkinneef, maqaa kiyya akkasumaan hin dhowin.You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

8«Guyyaa Sanbataa woyyoonsiisaaf qaabadhu!Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

9Guyyaa jaa elowiitii hujii teeti mara hujadhu.Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

10Guyyaan torbeesso'oo ammoo Mootii Waan Maraa Waaqa keetiif guyyaa fooraa ti; guyyaa san ati, ijoolleen teeti ta dhiiraatii fi ta durraa, tajaajiltooti teeti ta dhiiraatii fi ta durraa, horiin keetii fi nami alagaan si bira jiru marti hujii tokkolle hin hujin.but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates.

11Ani Mootiin Waan Maraa guyyaa jaa keessatti ol-gubbaa, lafa, abbaaya'aa fi waan isii keessa jiru mara dade; guyyaa torbeesso'oo ammoo foorfadhe; tanaaf ani Mootiin Waan Maraa guyyaa Sanbataa eebbisee woyyoonse.For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

12«Lafa ani Mootiin Waan Maraa Waaqi keeti si'iif kennu keessatti bara dheeraa akka leetu, abba'aa fi haadha teetiif ulfinna kenni.Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

13«Hin ijjeesin;You shall not murder.

14«Hin gaarayyeeffatin;You shall not commit adultery.

15«Hin hatin;You shall not steal.

16«Nama irratti dharaan dhugaa hin bayin;You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17«Mana namaa hin kajeelin; haadha manaa isaa, tajaajilaa isaa, tajaajiltuu isaa, loon isaa, harree isaa, karra isaa mara hin kajeelin» jedhe.You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

18Kolbaan sun mandiisu'uu fi balaqqeettii yennaa dhaggite, tultullaa afuufamu dhageettee, gaarri aaruun yennaa dhaggite soda'aan hollattee, fagaattee dhaabbattee,When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

19Muuse'een, «Nuuti akka hin duune, Waaqi nu woliin akka dubbatu hin godhin; atinuu nu woliin dubbadhu; nuuti hin caqanna» jette.“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”

20Muuseen kolbaa saniin, «Hin sodaatina'a! Sodaan Waaqaa isin bira jiraattee, cubbuu hujiisa irraa akka isin eedduuf, Waaqi haga isin ilaaliisaaf dhufeera» jedhe.“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”

21Kolbaan irraa fagaattee dhaabbatteertuun, Muuseen addee Waaqi jiru gara duumensa ciggaa dukkanowaa sanii dhikaate.And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

22Achiin duuba Mootiin Waan Maraa Muuse'een, «Ati Israa'elootaan, ‹Mootiin Waan Maraa: Ani ol-gubbaa irraa akka isinitti dubbadhe isinuu dhaggitaneertan;Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23isin ana malee, waaqota meeti'ii fi worqii irraa hujattanee hin waaqonfatina'a.You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.

24« ‹Ati addee ciinca'aa faara irraa naaf hujiitii, isa irratti kennansa gubamuu fi kennansa tokkumma'aa hoolee, re'e'ee fi loon keeti keessaa dhikeessi. Ani addee maqaa kiyya akka itti waamamu godhe san gara keeti dhufee si hin eebbisa.You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

25Ati dhaka'aan addee ciinca'aa naaf yoo ijaartu teete, meya ittiin boccu saniin waan batteessituuf, dhakaa bocameen hin ijaarin.Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.

26Nafi keeti qullaa akka hin mudhanneef, yaabbannoo irra gara addee ciinca'aa tiyyatti ol hin bayin jedha› jedhiin» jedhe.And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
