Exodus 34

1 And after this he said: “Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone similar to the first ones, and I will write upon them the words which were held on the tablets that you broke.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tā maʻau ʻae maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki maka: pea te u tohi ki he ongo maka ni, ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki maka, ʻaia naʻa ke maumauʻi.

2 Be prepared in the morning, so that you may immediately ascend onto Mount Sinai, and you shall stand with me on the summit of the mountain.

Pea ke teu ki he ʻapongipongi, pea ke ʻalu hake ʻapongipongi ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, pea ke fakahā koe kiate au ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga.

3 Let no one ascend with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout the entire mountain. Likewise, do not let the oxen or the sheep pasture up against it.”

Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake mo koe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pea ʻoua naʻa hā mai ha tangata ʻi he moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae fanga sipi, pe ko e fanga manu lalahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe moʻunga ko ia.”

4 And so he cut out two tablets of stone, like those that were before. And rising up in the night, he ascended onto Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had instructed him, carrying with him the tablets.

Pea naʻa ne tā ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki; pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻi hono nima ʻae ongo maka lafalafa.

5 And when the Lord had descended in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao, pea tutuʻu ʻi ai mo ia, ʻo ne fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova.

6 And as he was crossing before him, he said: “The Ruler, the Lord God, merciful and lenient, patient and full of compassion and also truthful,

Pea naʻe hāʻele ange ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne folofola, “Ko Sihova, Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa, mo ʻofa mataʻatā, ʻoku kātaki fuoloa, pea mohu ʻi he angalelei mo e moʻoni.

7 who preserves mercy a thousand fold, who takes away iniquity, and wickedness, and also sin; and with you no one, in and of himself, is innocent. You render the iniquity of the fathers to the sons, and also to their descendants to the third and fourth generation.”

‌ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe, ʻi he fakamolemole ʻae hia, mo e talangataʻa, mo e angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae halaia; ʻoku ʻaʻahi ʻaki ki he fānau ʻae hia ʻae mātuʻa, pea ki he hako ʻo ʻenau fānau, ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata.”

8 And hurrying, Moses bowed down prostrate to the ground; and worshiping,

Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Mōsese, ke punou hifo hono ʻulu ki he kelekele, pea hū.

9 he said: “If I have found grace in your sight, O Lord, I beg you to walk with us, (for the people are stiff-necked) and take away our iniquities and our sin, and so possess us.”

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, kapau kuo u maʻu ni ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻalu ʻa hoku ʻEiki, mo kimautolu: he ko e kakai kia kekeva; pea fakamolemole ʻe mau hia mo e mau angahala, mo ke fili ʻakimautolu ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻou.”

10 The Lord responded: “I will enter into a pact in the sight of all. I will perform signs which have never been seen on earth, nor among any nation, so that this people, in whose midst you are, may discern the terrible work of the Lord that I will do.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fai ʻae fuakava: te u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hano tatau, ʻi ha potu ʻe taha ʻo māmani, pe ʻi ha puleʻanga: pea ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke nofo ki ai te nau mamata ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova: he ko e meʻa fakamanavahē ia ʻaia te u fai kiate koe.

11 Observe everything that I command you this day. I myself will drive out before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Ke ke tokanga koe ki he meʻa ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku ou kapusi mei ho ʻao ʻae kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi.

12 Beware that you do not ever join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be your ruin.

Ke ke vakai kiate koe, telia naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai, telia naʻa hoko ia ko e tauhele ʻi loto ʻiate koe.

13 But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves.

Ka te mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea laiki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā ke hinga ʻenau ngaahi ʻakau tapu:

14 Do not be willing to worship any strange god. The jealous Lord is his name. God is a rival.

‌ʻE ʻikai te ke lotu koe ki ha ʻotua kehe: he ko Sihova, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Fuaʻa, ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia.

15 Do not enter into a pact with the men of those regions, lest, when they will have fornicated with their gods and worshiped their idols, someone might call upon you to eat from what was immolated.

Telia naʻa mou fai ʻae fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, pea nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea fai ʻae feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea ui [koe ʻe ha tokotaha], pea ke kai ʻi heʻene feilaulau;

16 Neither shall you take a wife for your son from their daughters, lest, after they themselves have fornicated, they may cause your sons also to fornicate with their gods.

pe ke fili ʻe koe ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki ho ngaahi foha; pea ʻalu ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻonau fakakau ho ngaahi foha ke nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.

17 You shall not make for yourselves any molten gods.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi moʻou ha ʻotua ukamea kuo haka.

18 You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days, you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, in the time of the month of what is new. For in the month of springtime you departed from Egypt.

“Pea te ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani. Ke ke kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate koe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻApipi: he naʻa ke haʻu mei ʻIsipite ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.

19 All of the male kind, which open the womb, shall be mine: from all the animals, as much of oxen as of sheep, it shall be mine.

Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia; mo e ʻuluaki manu tangata ʻi hoʻo fanga manu, pe ko ha pulu ia, pe ko ha sipi.

20 The firstborn of a donkey, you shall redeem with a sheep. But if you will not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. You shall not appear empty in my sight.

Ka ko e ʻuluaki ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi ke ke huhuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae lami; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fesiʻi hono kia. Ko e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi foha te ke huhuʻi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fakahā mola pe ha tokotaha ʻi hoku ʻao.

21 For six days you shall work. On the seventh day you shall cease to cultivate and to harvest.

“Te ke ngāue ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono, ka ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho te ke mālōlō: ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe tō taʻu, mo e ututaʻu ke ke mālōlō.

22 You shall observe the Solemnity of Weeks with the first-fruits of the grain from the harvest of your wheat, and a Solemnity when the time of the year returns and everything is stored away.

“Pea te ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, mo e ʻuluaki fua ʻoe tuʻusi ʻoe uite, mo e kātoanga ʻoe ututaʻu ʻi he fakaʻosi taʻu.

23 Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty, the Lord God of Israel.

“ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻomou fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

24 For when I will have taken away the nations before your face, and enlarged your borders, no one shall lie in wait against your land when you will go up to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, three times a year.

He te u kapusi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei ho ʻao, pea te u fakalahi atu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne holi ki ho fonua, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu hake, ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ke fakahā koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

25 You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven; and there shall not remain, in the morning, any of the victim of the Solemnity of the Passover.

“ʻOua naʻa ke ʻatu ʻae toto ʻo ʻeku feilaulau mo e lēvani: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ki he ʻapongipongi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.

26 The first of the fruits of your land you shall offer in the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”

“Ko e polopolo ʻoe ngaahi ʻuluaki fua ʻo ho fonua ke ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua. “ʻOua naʻa ke haka ʻae ʻuhiki sipi pe kosi ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻo ʻene faʻē.”

27 And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words to you, through which I have formed a covenant, both with you and with Israel.”

Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ni: he kuo u fai ʻae fuakava kiate koe mo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi lea ni.

28 Therefore, he was in that place with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water, and he wrote on the tablets the ten words of the covenant.

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ia mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kai mā, pe inu ha vai. Pea naʻa ne tohi ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ko e fekau ʻe hongofulu.

29 And when Moses descended from Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he did not know that his face was radiant from the sharing of words with the Lord.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga ko Sainai, mo e maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Mōsese ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata lolotonga ʻene talanoa mo ia.

30 Then Aaron and the sons of Israel, seeing that the face of Moses was radiant, were afraid to approach close by.

Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻElone, pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese, vakai, naʻe ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata: pea naʻa nau manavahē ke haʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia.

31 And being called by him, they turned back, both Aaron and the leaders of the assembly. And after he had spoken to them,

Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu; pea ko ʻElone mo e kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai naʻa nau foki mai kiate ia: pea naʻe talanoa ʻa Mōsese mo kinautolu.

32 all the sons of Israel also now came to him. And he instructed them in all the things that he had heard from the Lord on Mount Sinai.

Pea hili ia, naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa ne tala ʻo fekau kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.

33 And having completed these words, he placed a veil over his face.

Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata, kaeʻoua ke hili ʻene talanoa mo kinautolu.

34 But when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him.

Ka ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke lea kiate ia, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pūlou, kaeʻoua ke hū kituʻa. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ia, ʻo ne tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate ia ke fai.

35 And they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.

Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he mata ʻo Mōsese, ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻoe mata ʻo Mōsese: pea naʻe toe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata kaeʻoua ke toe hū ia ke alea mo ia.
