خرُوج 20

١ 1 ثُمَّ نَطَقَ اللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ:

And God spoke all these words:

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

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

٣ 3 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى سِوَايَ.

You 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.

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

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

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

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

but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

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

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

٨ 8 اذْكُرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ،

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

٩ 9 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَقُومُ بِجَمِيعِ مَشَاغِلِكَ،

Six days you shall labor and do all your 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 the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your 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 the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

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

Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

١٣ 13 لَا تَقْتُلْ.

You shall not murder.

١٤ 14 لَا تَزْنِ.

You shall not commit adultery.

١٥ 15 لَا تَسْرِقْ.

You shall not steal.

١٦ 16 لَا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً عَلَى جَارِكَ.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

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

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

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

When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

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

“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”

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

“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”

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

And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

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

Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

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

You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.

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.

You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

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

Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.

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

And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
