²⁰Moses 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.”

²⁰ Musa mo ne jama se: «Wa si humburu, zama Irikoy kaa zama nga m'araŋ neesi, a humburkuma ma goro araŋ banda, zama araŋ ma si zunubi te mo.»

²³ Araŋ ma si de-koy fooyaŋ te ka margu nda ay, nzarfu wala wura wane. Araŋ ma si i te araŋ boŋ se.

²⁴You 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.

²⁴ Ni ga sargay* feema te ay se da laabu. A boŋ no ni ga ni sargayey kaŋ i ga ton da ni saabuyaŋ sargayey mo salle, ni feejey da ni hawey nooya. Nangu kulu kaŋ ay ga naŋ i ma fongu ay maa gaa, ay ga kaa ni do ka ni albarkandi.

²⁵If 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.

²⁵ Da mo ni na tondi sargay feema te ay se, ni ma s'a cina nda tondi jabanteyaŋ bo, zama da ni na ni goy jinay daŋ a gaa, ni n'a ziibandi no.

²⁶Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
