34  Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Taraia mau etahi papa kohatu, kia rua, kia rite ki o mua: a ka tuhituhia e ahau ki aua papa nga kupu i mau ki o mua papa, i wahia na e koe.

A kia takatu i te ata, ka haere ake i te ata ki Maunga Hinai, a me tu koe i toku aroaro, ki reira, ki te tihi o te maunga.

Kaua hoki tetahi e haere ake i a koe, kei kitea hoki tetahi i te maunga katoa: ko nga hipi hoki, me nga kau, kaua e kai ki te ritenga o taua maunga.

Na taraia ana e ia etahi papa kohatu e rua, rite tonu ki o mua; a ka maranga wawe a Mohi i te ata, ka piki atu ki Maunga Hinai, ka pera ano me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia, me te mau ano i nga papa kohatu e rua ki tona ringa.

Na ka heke iho a Ihowa i roto i te kapua, ka tu tahi me ia ki reira, a ka karangatia te ingoa o Ihowa.

Na ka haere atu a Ihowa i tona aroaro, a ka karangatia, Ko Ihowa, ko Ihowa, ko te Atua tohu, atawhai, he tukuroa nei i te riri, he nui nei te aroha, te pono,

E rongoa nei i te aroha mo nga mano, e muru nei i te kino, i te tutu, i te hara, e kore rawa ano hoki e tuku noa i te he; e mea nei i te hara o nga matua kia tau iho ki nga tamariki, ki nga tamariki a nga tamariki a te toru, te wha ra ano o nga w hakatupuranga.

Na ka hohoro a Mohi, ka tuohu iho ki te whenua, koropiko ana:

A ka mea, Ki te mea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe, e te Ariki, kia haere ra toku Ariki i waenganui i a matou; he iwi kaki maro hoki tenei; murua atu hoki to matou kino, me to matou hara, waiho hoki matou hei taonga tupu mou.

10 Na ka mea ia, Nana, ka whakarite kawenata ahau; ka meatia e ahau he mea whakamiharo ki te aroaro o tou iwi katoa, he mea kihai i meatia i te whenua katoa, i nga iwi katoa ano hoki: a ka kitea te mahi a Ihowa e te iwi katoa kei roto nei koe i a r atou: he mea whakamataku hoki taku e mahi tahi ai ahau me koe.

11 Kia mau ki taku e whakahau atu nei ki a koe inaianei: nana, ka peia atu e ahau nga Amori, nga Kanaani, nga Hiti, nga Perihi, nga Hiwi, nga Iepuhi.

12 Kia tupato kei whakarite kawenata koe ki nga tangata o te whenua e haere nei koe ki reira; kei waiho hei rore i waenganui i a koe:

13 Engari me wawahi a ratou aata, me pakarukaru a ratou whakapakoko, me tua hoki a ratou Aherimi.

14 Kahore atu hoki he atua hei koropikotanga mau: ko Ihowa hoki, ko Hae nei tona ingoa, he Atua hae ia:

15 Kei whakarite kawenata koe ki nga tangata o te whenua, a ka whai atu ratou, ka puremu atu ki o ratou atua, a ka patu whakahere ma o ratou atua, a ka karangatia koe e tetahi, na ka kai koe i tana patunga tapu;

16 A ka tango koe i a ratou tamahine ma au tama, a ka whai atu, ka puremu atu a ratou tamahine ki o ratou atua, a ka meinga au tamariki kia whai atu, kia puremu atu ki o ratou atua.

17 Kaua e whakarewaina he atua mou.

18 Kia mau ki te hakari taro rewenakore. E whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore, e pera ai me taku i whakahau ai ki a koe, i te wa ano i whakaritea o te marama, o Apipi: ko Apipi hoki te marama i haere mai ai koe i Ihipa.

19 Ko nga mea katoa e puta tuatahi mai ana i te kopu, naku; me nga matamua a au kararehe, a nga kau, a nga hipi.

20 A me utu e koe ki te reme te matamua a te kaihe; a ki te kahore e utua e koe, whatiia tona kaki. Me utu e koe nga matamua o au tama. E kore ano hoki tetahi e puta kau mai ki toku aroaro.

21 E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe, i te whitu ia o nga ra me okioki: me okioki ano koe i te ruinga, i te kotinga.

22 Me mahi ano te hakari o nga wiki, ara o nga matamua o te kotinga witi, me te hakari o te kohikohinga i te takanga o te tau.

23 E toru nga wa o te tau e kitea ai ou tane katoa ki te aroaro o te Ariki, o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

24 Ka peia hoki e ahau nga tauiwi i tou aroaro, ka whakanuia ano ou rohe: a e kore tetahi e minamina ki tou whenua, ina haere koe ki runga kia kitea ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i nga wa e toru o te tau.

25 Kaua he rewena ina whakahekea te toto o taku patunga tapu; kei toe ano hoki ki te ata te patunga tapu o te hakari o te kapenga.

26 Me kawe ki te whare o Ihowa, o tou Atua, nga mea mataati o nga matamua o tou oneone. Kaua e kohuatia te kuao koati ki te waiu o tona whaea.

27 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tuhituhia enei kupu: kei enei kupu hoki te tikanga o te kawenata e whakaritea nei e ahau ki a koe, ki a Iharaira.

28 Na i reira ia i a Ihowa e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; kihai i kai taro, kihai ano i inu wai. Na tuhituhia ana e ia ki nga papa nga kupu o te kawenata, nga ture kotahi tekau.

29 A, i te hekenga iho o Mohi i runga i Maunga Hinai me nga papa e rua o te whakaaturanga i te ringa o Mohi, i tona hekenga iho i runga i te maunga, na, kihai a Mohi i mohio e tiaho ana te kiri o tona mata, nona i korero ki a ia.

30 A, i te tirohanga a Arona ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki a Mohi, na, e tiaho ana te kiri o tona mata; na ka wehi ratou ki te whakatata ki a ia.

31 Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a ratou; a ka hoki ki a ia a Arona ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o te whakaminenga; a ka korero a Mohi ki a ratou.

32 A muri iho ka whakatata nga tama katoa a Iharaira; a ka whakahaua iho e ia ki a ratou nga mea katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki a ia i Maunga Hinai.

33 A ka mutu ta Mohi korero ki a ratou, ka maka ki tona mata he arai.

34 Otiia, ka haere a Mohi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te korero ki a ia, ka tangohia e ia te arai a puta noa mai ki waho. A, ko tona putanga mai ki waho, ka korerotia e ia ki nga tama a Iharaira nga mea i whakahaua ki a ia.

35 A i kite nga tama a Iharaira i te mata o Mohi, e tiaho ana te kiri o te mata o Mohi: na ka whakahokia e Mohi te arai ki tona mata a haere noa ia ki te korero ki a ia.

The New Stone Tablets

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,(A) and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,(B) which you broke.(C) Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain;(E) not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

So Moses chiseled(F) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.(G) Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate(J) and gracious God, slow to anger,(K) abounding in love(L) and faithfulness,(M) maintaining love to thousands,(N) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.(O) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;(P) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”(Q)

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor(R) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.(S) Although this is a stiff-necked(T) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,(U) and take us as your inheritance.”(V)

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant(W) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders(X) never before done in any nation in all the world.(Y) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command(Z) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(AA) 12 Be careful not to make a treaty(AB) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare(AC) among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a](AD) 14 Do not worship any other god,(AE) for the Lord, whose name(AF) is Jealous, is a jealous God.(AG)

15 “Be careful not to make a treaty(AH) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute(AI) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.(AJ) 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives(AK) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,(AL) they will lead your sons to do the same.

17 “Do not make any idols.(AM)

18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(AN) For seven days eat bread made without yeast,(AO) as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(AP) for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 “The first offspring(AQ) of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(AR) Redeem all your firstborn sons.(AS)

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(AT)

21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;(AU) even during the plowing season and harvest(AV) you must rest.

22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits(AW) of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering(AX) at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times(AY) a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations(AZ) before you and enlarge your territory,(BA) and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast,(BB) and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.(BC)

26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(BD) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”(BE)

27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(BF) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant(BG) with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights(BH) without eating bread or drinking water.(BI) And he wrote on the tablets(BJ) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.(BK)

The Radiant Face of Moses

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai(BL) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,(BM) he was not aware that his face was radiant(BN) because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community(BO) came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands(BP) the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil(BQ) over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant.(BR) Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.
