1Pea naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi folofola ni kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
1And God spoke all these words:
2“Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, kuo u ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula.
2“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3“ʻOua naʻa ke maʻu mo au ha ʻotua kehe ʻi hoku ʻao.
3You shall have no other gods before Me.
4“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:
4You 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.
5“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;
5You 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,
6Pea u fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7“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.
7You 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“Manatu ki he ʻaho Sāpate, ke tauhi ia ke māʻoniʻoni.
8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
9Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke ngāue ai, ʻo fai ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē:
9Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10Ka 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;
10but 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.
11He 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.
11For 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“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.
12Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
13“ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō.
13You shall not murder.
14“ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine.
14You shall not commit adultery.
15“ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa.
15You shall not steal.
16ʻOua naʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17“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.
17You 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.”
18¶ 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.
18When 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.
19Pea 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.
19“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
20Pea 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.”
20“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.”
21Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kakai mei he mamaʻo, pea ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Mōsese ki he poʻuli matolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻafio ai ʻae ʻOtua.
21And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22¶ 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.
22Then 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.
23ʻOua naʻa mou ngaohi ke fakalahi ʻaki au ha ngaahi ʻotua siliva, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua koula.
23You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.
24¶ 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.
24You 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.
25Pea 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.
25Now 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.
26Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu hake ʻi ha tuʻunga ki hoku feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa ʻiloʻi ai hoʻo telefua.
26And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
