< Exodus 20 >

1 God spoke all the following words:
Pea naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi folofola ni kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
2 “I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the land of your slavery.
“Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, kuo u ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.
3 You must not have any other gods except me.
“ʻOua naʻa ke maʻu mo au ha ʻotua kehe ʻi hoku ʻao.
4 You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
“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:
5 You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
“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;
6 but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
Pea u fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
7 You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
“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.
8 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
“Manatu ki he ʻaho Sāpate, ke tauhi ia ke māʻoniʻoni.
9 You have six days to work and earn your living,
Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke ngāue ai, ʻo fai ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē:
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
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;
11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
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.
12 Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
“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.
13 You must not murder.
“ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō.
14 You must not commit adultery.
“ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine.
15 You must not steal.
“ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa.
16 You must not give false evidence against others.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
17 You must not desire to have anyone else's house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them.”
“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.
18 When all the people heard the thunder and the sound of the trumpet, and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off.
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.
19 “You speak to us, and we'll listen,” they said to Moses. “But don't let God speak to us, or we'll die.”
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.
20 Moses told them, “Do not be afraid, for God has only come to test you. He wants you to be in awe of him so that you don't sin.”
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.”
21 The people stood a long way off as Moses went over to the thick, dark cloud where God was.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kakai mei he mamaʻo, pea ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Mōsese ki he poʻuli matolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻafio ai ʻae ʻOtua.
22 The Lord told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves that I spoke with you from heaven.
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.
23 You must not make any idols of silver or gold to worship in addition to me.
‌ʻOua naʻa mou ngaohi ke fakalahi ʻaki au ha ngaahi ʻotua siliva, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua koula.
24 Make me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I decide to be worshiped, I will come to you and bless you.
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.
25 Now if you make an altar out of stones for me, you must not build it with cut stones, because if you use a chisel to cut the stone, you make it unholy.
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.
26 Also, you must not go up to my altar using steps, so your private parts are not seen.’”
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu hake ʻi ha tuʻunga ki hoku feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa ʻiloʻi ai hoʻo telefua.
