خرُوج 20

١ 1 ثُمَّ نَطَقَ اللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ:

And God spoke all these words, saying,

٢ 2 «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ دِيَارِ عُبُودِيَّتِكَ.

I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

٣ 3 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى سِوَايَ.

Thou shall have no other gods before me.

٤ 4 لَا تَنْحَتْ لَكَ تِمْثَالاً، وَلا تَصْنَعْ صُورَةً مَّا مِمَّا فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي الْمَاءِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الأَرْضِ.

Thou shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

٥ 5 لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ آثَامَ الآبَاءِ فِي البَنِينَ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ وَالرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ،

Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,

٦ 6 وَأَبْدِي إحْسَاناً نَحْوَ أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ وَصَايَايَ.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

٧ 7 لَا تَنْطِقْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعَاقِبُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِاسْمِهِ بَاطِلاً.

Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

٨ 8 اذْكُرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ،

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

٩ 9 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَقُومُ بِجَمِيعِ مَشَاغِلِكَ،

Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,

١٠ 10 أَمَّا الْيَوْمُ السَّابِعُ فَتَجْعَلُهُ سَبْتاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فَلا تَقُمْ فِيهِ بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ أَنْتَ أَوِ ابْنُكَ أَوْ ابْنَتُكَ أَوِ عَبْدُكَ أَوْ أَمَتُكَ أَوْ بَهِيمَتُكَ أَوِ النَّزِيلُ الْمُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ.

but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,

١١ 11 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ صَنَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتَراحَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ. لِهَذَا بَارَكَ الرَّبُّ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَجَعَلَهُ مُقَدَّساً.

for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

١٢ 12 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ يَطُولَ عُمْرُكَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُكَ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.

١٣ 13 لَا تَقْتُلْ.

Thou shall not murder.

١٤ 14 لَا تَزْنِ.

Thou shall not commit adultery.

١٥ 15 لَا تَسْرِقْ.

Thou shall not steal.

١٦ 16 لَا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً عَلَى جَارِكَ.

Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

١٧ 17 لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ جَارِكَ، وَلا زَوْجَتَهُ، وَلا عَبْدَهُ، وَلا أَمَتَهُ، وَلا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلا حِمَارَهُ، وَلا شَيْئاً مِمَّا لَهُ».

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

١٨ 18 وَعِنْدَمَا عَايَنَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ الرُّعُودَ وَالْبُرُوقَ، وَسَمِعُوا دَوِيَّ صَوْتِ الْبُوقِ، وَرَأَوْا الجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ ارْتَجَفُوا خَوْفاً وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

١٩ 19 وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمْنَا أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ فَنَسْمَعَ، لِئَلّا نَمُوتَ إذَا ظَلَّ اللهُ يُخَاطِبُنَا».

And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

٢٠ 20 فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لا تَخَافُوا. إِنَّمَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَاءَ لِيَمْتَحِنَكُمْ حَتَّى تَظَلَّ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ تُلازِمُكُمْ فَلا تُخْطِئُوا».

And Moses said to the people, Fear not, for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.

٢١ 21 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الشَّعْبُ وَاقِفاً مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، اقْتَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الظَّلامِ المُتَكَاثِفِ حَيْثُ كَانَ اللهُ.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ كَيْفَ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus thou shall say to the sons of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

٢٣ 23 فَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ صُنْعِ آلِهَةِ فِضَّةٍ أَوْ آلِهَةِ ذَهَبٍ لَكُمْ لِتُشْرِكُوهَا مَعِي.

Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make to you.

٢٤ 24 أَقِمْ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ تُرَابٍ تُقَدِّمُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَقَرَابِينَ سَلامَتِكَ مِنْ غَنَمِكَ وَبَقَرِكَ. وَآتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ فِي جَمِيعِ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي أُقِيمُ فِيهَا لاِسْمِي ذِكْراً.

An altar of earth thou shall make to me, and shall sacrifice on it thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I record my name I will come to thee and I will bless thee.

٢٥ 25 وَإِنْ بَنَيْتَ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ، فَلا تَبْنِهِ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، لأَنَّ اسْتِعْمَالَكَ لِلإِزْمِيلِ يُدَنِّسُهَا

And if thou make to me an altar of stone, thou shall not build it of hewn stones, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou have polluted it.

٢٦ 26 وَلا تَرْتَقِ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي بِدَرَجٍ لِئَلّا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ».

Neither shall thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
