Ọpụpụ 34
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, “Wapụta mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka nke mbụ, aga m edekwasị nʼelu ha okwu niile nke dị nʼelu mbadamba nkume ndị mbụ ahụ, bụ nke ị tụpịasịrị.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first tablets. I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets, the tablets that you broke.
2 Jikere nʼụtụtụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị ka i chee onwe gị nʼihu m nʼelu ugwu ahụ.
Be ready by morning and come up Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the mountain top.
3 Onye ọbụla esokwala gị, ma ọ bụkwanụ nọdụ nso ugwu ahụ. Ekwekwala ka igwe ehi maọbụ igwe atụrụ kpaa nri nso nso ugwu ahụ.”
No one is to come up with you. Do not let anyone else be seen anywhere on the mountain. No flocks or herds are even to graze in front of the mountain.”
4 Mosis biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ, waa mbadamba nkume abụọ dịka ndị nke mbụ, rigoro ugwu Saịnaị dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya. Ọ jikwa nkume abụọ ahụ nʼaka ya.
So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and he got up early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had instructed him. Moses carried the tablets of stone in his hand.
5 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime ogidi igwe ojii, guzo nʼihu Mosis, kwupụta aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
Yahweh came down in the cloud and stood with Moses there, and he pronounced the name “Yahweh.”
6 O si nʼihu Mosis gafee na-ekwu na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ọmịiko na onye amara, onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ, na onye babigara ụba oke nʼịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi.
Yahweh passed by before him and proclaimed, “Yahweh, Yahweh, God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness,
7 Onye na-egosi ịhụnanya ya nye imerime puku, ma na-agbaghara ajọ omume na nnupu isi, na mmehie. Ma ọ dịghị ahapụ ka onye ikpe mara laa na-anataghị ahụhụ, ọ na-ata ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ha ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nna nna ha ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ.”
keeping covenant faithfulness for thousands of generations, forgiving iniquities, transgressions, and sins. But he will by no means clear the guilty. He will bring the punishment for the fathers' sin on their children and on their children's children, as far as the third and fourth generations.”
8 Otu mgbe ahụ, Mosis hulatara kpọọ isiala,
Moses quickly bowed his head to the ground and worshiped.
9 sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, Onyenwe m, ka Onyenwe m, biko soro anyị gaa. Ọ bụ ezie na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, gbaghara anyị ajọ omume anyị, na mmehie anyị niile, ka ị nabatakwa anyị dịka ndị nke gị.”
Then he said, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord, please go among us, for this people is stubborn. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.”
10 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ onwe m na gị na-agba ndụ. Nʼihu ndị gị niile, aga m arụ oke ọrụ ịtụnanya dị ukwu, ụdị nke a na-emetụbeghị mbụ nʼụwa, maọbụ na mba ọ bụla. Ndị niile unu bi nʼetiti ha ga-ahụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ọrụ ahụ dị oke egwu nke m ga-arụ nʼihi unu.
Yahweh said, “See, I am about to make a covenant. Before all your people, I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation. All the people among you will see my deeds, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you.
11 Debe ihe niile m nyere gị nʼiwu taa. Aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ ndị Amọrait, ndị Kenan, ndị Het, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus.
Obey what I command you today. I am about to drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ unu na-aba nʼime ya ghara ịgba ndụ. Ka ha ghara ị bụ ihe ịma nʼọnya nʼetiti unu.
Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, or they will become a trap among you.
13 Kama, tikpọọnụ ebe ịchụ aja ha niile. Kụrienụ ogidi arụsị ha niile. Gbutukwaanụ osisi Ashera ha jiri mere chi ha.
Instead, you must break down their altars, smash their stone pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.
14 Unu efela chi ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, onye aha ya bụ Ekworo, bụ Chineke na-ekwo ekworo.
For you must worship no other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Kpacharanụ anya ka unu na ndị bi nʼala ahụ ghara ịgba ndụ, nʼihi na mgbe ha na-akwaso chi ha iko, na-achụkwa aja nye chi ha, ha ga-akpọ unu oku nri, mgbe ahụ, unu ga-eri site nʼihe aja ha.
So be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they prostitute themselves to their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods. Then one of them will invite you and you will eat some of his sacrifice,
16 Mgbe unu lụtara ụfọdụ ndị inyom ha dịka nwunye nye ụmụ unu ndị ikom, ndị inyom ndị a na-akwaso chi ha iko, ga-eme ka ụmụ unu ndị ikom soro ha nʼomume dị otu a.
and then you will even take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods, and they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods.
17 “Unu akpụla chi ọbụla.
Do not make for yourselves gods of molten metal.
18 “Na-emenụ mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Rienụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa, dịka m nyere nʼiwu na a ga-eme nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ a họpụtara, nʼọnwa Abib, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼọnwa ahụ ka unu si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
You must keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you must eat bread without yeast for seven days at the fixed time in the month of Aviv, for it was in the month of Aviv you came out from Egypt.
19 “Nwa nwoke ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke m, tinyere ụmụ anụ ụlọ, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ewu.
All the firstborn are mine, even every male firstborn of your cattle, both of oxen and sheep.
20 E nwere ike ịgbapụta nwa oke ịnyịnya ibu site nʼiwere nwa atụrụ dochie nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ bụrụ na i kpebie na ị gaghị agbapụta ya, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-agbaji olu ya. Ma ụmụ unu ndị ikom niile ka a ga-agbapụta. “O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-abịa guzo m nʼihu na-ejighị onyinye.
You must buy back the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you do not buy it back, then you must break its neck. You must buy back all the firstborn of your sons. No one may appear before me empty-handed.
21 “Nʼoge ịkụ ihe nʼubi na nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, rụọnụ ọrụ naanị ụbọchị isii. Zukwanụ ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
You may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. Even at plowing time and in harvest, you must rest.
22 “Mee Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa, bụ nke ị ga-eji mkpụrụ mbụ nke ọka wiiti mee, na Mmemme Nchịkọta Ihe nʼọgwụgwụ afọ ọbụla.
You must observe the Festival of Weeks with the first yield of the wheat harvest, and you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the year's end.
23 Ugboro atọ nʼafọ ka ndị ikom unu niile ga-abịa chee onwe ha nʼihu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nke Izrel.
Three times a year all your men must appear before Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
24 Nʼihi na aga m esite nʼihu unu chụpụ mba dị iche iche. Meekwa ka ala unu saa mbara. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-enwe anya ukwu nʼebe ala unu dị, mgbe unu na-aga iche onwe unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, ugbo atọ nʼafọ.
For I will drive out nations before you and expand your borders. No one will desire to have your land as their own when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in a year.
25 “Unu etinyekwala ihe ọbụla nke nwere ihe na-eko achịcha nʼime ya, mgbe unu na-achụ ọbara nke aja nye m. Unu ahapụkwala aja sitere na Mmemme Ngabiga ka ọ nọọ ruo ụtụtụ.
You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with any yeast, nor may any meat from the sacrifice at the Festival of the Passover be left over to the morning.
26 “Wetanụ mkpụrụ mbụ niile nke ala ubi unu, bụ ndị kachasị mma nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu. “Unu esikwala nwa ewu nʼime mmiri ara nne ya.”
You must bring the best of the firstfruits from your fields to my house. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.”
27 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Dee iwu ndị a m nyere gị, nʼihi na dịka okwu ndị a si dị, ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị na ụmụ Izrel gbara si dị.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 Mosis na Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Ma nʼoge ndị a niile o righị nri ọbụla. Ọ ṅụkwaghị ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla. O dere na mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ okwu niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, nke bụ iwu iri ahụ.
Moses was there with Yahweh for forty days and nights; he did not eat any food nor drink any water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
29 Mgbe Mosis ji mbadamba nkume abụọ nke ihe ama ahụ na-arịdata site nʼelu ugwu ahụ, ọ mataghị na ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke, nʼihi ọnọdụ nke ọ nọrọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while speaking with God.
30 Nʼihi mgbuke ahụ ihu Mosis na-egbuke, ụjọ ekweghị Erọn na ụmụ Izrel bịaruo ya nso.
When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him.
31 Ma Mosis kpọrọ ha ka ha bịakwute ya. Nʼihi ya, Erọn na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel bịara ka ha na Mosis kparịtaa ụka.
But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community came up to him. Then Moses spoke with them.
32 Mgbe e mesịrị, ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere ya. O nyekwara ha iwu ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị.
After this, all the people of Israel came up to Moses, and he told them all the commands that Yahweh had given him on Mount Sinai.
33 Mgbe Mosis gwachara ha okwu, o weere akwa kpuchie ihu ya.
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Ma mgbe ọbụla ọ na-abanye nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka ha kparịtaa ụka nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, ọ na-ekepụ akwa ahụ o ji kpuchie ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ nọchara pụta. Mgbe ọ pụtara, ọ na-agwa ndị Izrel ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
Whenever Moses went before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. When he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he was commanded to say.
35 Ha hụkwara na ihu ya na akpụkpọ ihu ya na-egbuke egbuke. Emesịa, Mosis na-ekpuchikwa ihu ya tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-abanye nʼime ka ya na Onyenwe anyị kparịta ụka.
When the Israelites saw Moses' face shining, he would put the veil over his face again until he went back in to speak with Yahweh.
