IV. THAJ CHAW NTSHIAB THIAB COV LEEJ CHOJ
-20-
1 Tswv Ntuj hais cov lus no : 2 “Kuv yog HUAB TAIS, koj tus Tswv Ntuj, yog tus ua kom koj dim ntawm Hais Nkws Tos teb los, dim ntawm txoj kev ua luag qhev.
1 God† spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Koj yuav tsis txhob muaj dua lwm tus tswv ntuj.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
4 Koj yuav tsis txhob puab ib tug mlom los ib tug duab zoo li tej yam nyob saum ntuj, los tej yam nyob hauv ntiaj teb no, los tej yam nyob hauv qab thu dej. 5 Koj yuav tsis txhob pe cov mlom ntawd, txhob tsob hwb lawv, vim kuv yog HUAB TAIS thiab yog koj tus Tswv Ntuj, kuv yog ib tug Tswv Ntuj muaj khib, cov uas ntxub kuv, mas kuv rau txim rau phaj tub thiab phaj xeeb ntxwv thiab phaj xeeb ntxwv cov xeeb ntxwv tom qab, vim phaj txiv tau ua txhaum rau kuv. 6 Hos cov nyiam kuv thiab ua raws kuv cov lus qhia, mas kuv hlub lawv thiab pub txiaj ntsha txiaj ntsim ntau rau txhiab leej vam leej mus tiam dhau tiam.
4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 Koj yuav tsis txhob hu txog koj tus HUAB TAIS Tswv Ntuj lub npe mus ua tej yam tsis zoo, vim HUAB TAIS yuav tsis zam txim rau tus neeg uas tuav txog nws lub npe dog dig.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God,‡ for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 Koj yuav nco ntsoov caiv hnub xas npas tos, koj yuav muab saib ua ib hnub ntshiab. 9 Koj ua hauj lwm rau hnub, 10 tab sis hnub xya yog hnub caiv xas npas tos rau koj tus HUAB TAIS Tswv Ntuj. Koj yuav tsis txhob ua ib yam hauj lwm dab tsi li. Koj thiab koj tus tub, koj tus ntxhais, koj tus tub txib, koj tus ntxhais txib, koj cov tsiaj txhu, tus qhua uas tuaj nyob hauv koj tsev, nej sawv daws yuav tsis txhob ua hauj lwm li.
11 Vim tias HUAB TAIS tau ua hauj lwm rau hnub los tsim lub ntuj, lub ntiaj teb, lub hiav txwv, thiab tas puas tsav yam nyob hauv, tiam sis hnub xya nws so, vim li ntawd HUAB TAIS tau foom hmoov zoo rau hnub xya, nws muab hnub xya qee ua ib hnub ntshiab.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; 11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
12 Koj yuav hwm koj niam thiab koj txiv, koj thiaj yuav tau nyob ntev niaj ntau xyoo hauv lub ntiaj teb uas koj tus HUAB TAIS Tswv Ntuj muab pub rau koj.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
13 Koj yuav tsis txhob tua neeg.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 Koj yuav tsis txhob zes luag txij luag nkawm.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 Koj yuav tsis txhob ua tub sab tub nyiag.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 Koj yuav tsis txhob liam rau luag tej.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 Koj yuav tsis txhob ntshaw txeeb luag vaj luag tsev. Koj yuav tsis txhob ntshaw txeeb luag tus poj niam, luag tus tub txib, luag tus ntxhais txib, luag tus nyuj los tus luj, los ib yam dab tsi uas yog luag tug.”
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
18 Tas tsoom pej xeem pom tias xob quaj xob nroo nrov doog diaj thiab xob laim liab vog, suab hom nrov doog diaj, hos lub roob ncho pa lug, ces lawv ntshai, lawv nyob nrug deb. 19 Lawv thiaj hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Cia koj hais lus rau peb xwb, peb yuav mloog koj hais, kom Tswv Ntuj txhob hais lus rau peb, yog nws hais mas peb yuav tuag.”
18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. 19 They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 Mais Xes thiaj hais rau tsoom pej xeem tias : “Nej tsis txhob ntshai, yog Tswv Ntuj xav sim nej siab nws thiaj tuaj, nws xav kom txoj kev ntshai nws nyob rawv hauv nej nruab siab, ces nej thiaj yuav tsis ua txhaum.” 21 Tsoom pej xeem sawv nrug deb, hos Mais Xes txav mus ze ntawm twv huab dub nciab uas Tswv Ntuj nyob.
20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.” 21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 HUAB TAIS hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Koj yuav hais li no rau cov Is Xas Lais : Nej tau pom xyeem ntawm nej qhov muag lawm tias kuv nyob saum ntuj hais lus rau nej zoo li cas. 23 Nej yuav tsis txhob puab tej tus tswv ntuj uas yog nyiaj yog kub rau nej teev. 24 Nej yuav muab av los puab ib lub thaj txi Ntuj rau kuv. Nyob saud, nej yuav hlawv nej cov txim thiab tso nej cov tsiaj txi Ntuj, cov tsiaj loj thiab tsiaj me. Nyob txhua qhov chaw uas kuv xav kom nej nco txog kuv lub npe, mas kuv yuav tuaj thiab yuav foom hmoov zoo rau nej. 25 Yog nej ua ib lub thaj txi Ntuj pob zeb, mas nej tsis txhob siv pob zeb txaug, vim thaum nej siv rab txaug mas nej ua tsis huv rau lub thaj lawm. 26 Nej yuav tsis txhob ua ntaiv nce mus saum kuv lub thaj, vim thaum nej nce, cov qib ntaiv yuav pom nej qhov liab qab.”
22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23 You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me. 24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you. 25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it. 26 You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
