Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." Exodus 20:8-11.
Siku sita fanya kazi, utende mambo yako yote; lakini siku ya saba ni sabato ya BWANA, Mungu wako, siku hiyo usifanye kazi yoyote, wewe, wala mwana wako, wala binti yako, wala mtumwa wako, wala mjakazi wako, wala mnyama wako wa kufuga, wala mgeni aliye ndani ya malango yako. Maana, kwa siku sita BWANA alifanya mbingu, na nchi, na bahari, na vyote vilivyomo, akastarehe siku ya saba; kwa hiyo BWANA akaibarikia siku ya sabato akaitakasa.”
