20  Na ka korerotia e te Atua enei kupu katoa, ka mea,

Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, naku koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

Aua etahi atua ke atu mou ki mua i ahau.

Kei hanga koe i te whakapakoko mou, i tetahi ritenga ranei o nga mea o te rangi i runga, o te whenua ranei i raro, o te wai ranei i raro i te whenua:

Kei koropiko koe ki ena mea, kei mahi ranei ki ena mea; ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko tou Atua, he Atua hae, e mea ana i nga hara o nga matua kia tau iho ki nga tamariki a te toru, te wha ra ano o nga whakatupuranga o te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;

E whakaputa aroha ana hoki ki nga mano, ki te hunga e aroha ana ki ahau, e whakarite ana i aku ture.

Kei whakahuatia noatia e koe te ingoa o Ihowa, o tou Atua; e kore hoki a Ihowa e mea, he harakore te tangata e whakahua noa ana i tona ingoa.

Kia mahara ki te ra hapati, kia whakatapua.

E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe, e mea ai hoki i au mea katoa;

10 Tena ko te ra whitu, he hapati no Ihowa, no tou Atua: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi i reira e koe, e tau tama, e tau tamahine, e tau pononga tane, e tau pononga wahine, e au kararehe hoki, me tou tangata ke i roto i ou tatau;

11 E ono hoki nga ra i hanga ai e Ihowa te rangi, me te whenua, te moana, me nga mea katoa i roto, a okioki ana i te ra whitu: na reira i whakapaingia ai te ra hapati e Ihowa, a whakatapua ana.

12 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

13 Kaua e patu.

14 Kaua e puremu.

15 Kaua e tahae.

16 Kaua e whakapae teka ki tou hoa.

17 Kaua e hiahia ki te whare o tou hoa, kaua e hiahia ki te wahine a tou hoa, ki tana pononga tane ranei, ki tana pononga wahine ranei, ki tana kau ranei, ki tana kaihe ranei, ki tetahi mea ranei a tou hoa.

18 A i kite te iwi katoa i nga whatitiri, i nga uira, i te tangi o te tetere, i te maunga hoki e paowa ana: a, i te kitenga o te iwi, ka wiri ratou, a tu rawa i tawhiti.

19 A ka mea ratou ki a Mohi, Mau e korero mai ki a matou, a ka whakarongo atu matou; engari kaua te Atua e korero ki a matou, kei mate matou.

20 Na ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kaua e wehi: he whakamatau hoki i a koutou i haere mai ai te Atua, kia mau ai hoki tona wehi i o koutou kanohi, kei hara koutou.

21 A tu ana te iwi i tawhiti; ko Mohi ia, i whakatata ki te pouri kerekere i noho ai te Atua.

22 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia penei tau kupu ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ka kite koutou kua korero ahau i te rangi ki a koutou.

23 Kei hanga koutou he atua ke atu ki toku taha; kei hanga koutou he atua hiriwa, he atua koura ranei, mo koutou.

24 Hanga he aata oneone maku, ki runga patu ai koe i au tahunga tinana, i au whakahere mo te pai, i au hipi, i au kau: i nga wahi katoa e whakamaharatia ai e ahau toku ingoa ka haere atu ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe.

25 A ki te hanga koe i te aata kohatu maku, kei hanga e koe ki te kohatu hahau; ki te hapai hoki koe i tau toki ki taua mea, kua whakanoatia e koe.

26 Kaua ano e piki na te arawhata ki toku aata, kei kitea koe i reira e tu tahanga ana.

The Ten Commandments(A)

20 And God spoke(B) all these words:(C)

“I am the Lord your God,(D) who brought you out(E) of Egypt,(F) out of the land of slavery.(G)

“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.(H)

“You shall not make for yourself an image(I) in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship(J) them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,(K) punishing the children for the sin of the parents(L) to the third and fourth generation(M) of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand(N) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(O)

“Remember the Sabbath(P) day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,(Q) 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath(R) to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,(S) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested(T) on the seventh day.(U) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother,(V) so that you may live long(W) in the land(X) the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.(Y)

14 “You shall not commit adultery.(Z)

15 “You shall not steal.(AA)

16 “You shall not give false testimony(AB) against your neighbor.(AC)

17 “You shall not covet(AD) your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet(AE) and saw the mountain in smoke,(AF) they trembled with fear.(AG) They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak(AH) to us or we will die.”(AI)

20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid.(AJ) God has come to test(AK) you, so that the fear(AL) of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”(AM)

21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness(AN) where God was.

Idols and Altars

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven:(AO) 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me;(AP) do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.(AQ)

24 “‘Make an altar(AR) of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings(AS) and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name(AT) to be honored, I will come to you and bless(AU) you. 25 If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool(AV) on it. 26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts(AW) may be exposed.’
