出埃及記 20
1 天主訓示以下這一切話說：「
Then God spake all these wordes, saying,
2 我是上主你們的天主，是我領你出了埃及地、奴隸之所。
I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 除我之外，你不可有別的神。
Thou shalt haue none other Gods before me.
4 不可為你製造任何彷彿天上、或地上、或地下水中之物的雕像。
Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neither any similitude of things that are in heauen aboue, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters vnder the earth.
5 不可叩拜這些像，也不可敬奉，因為我，上主，你的貪主是忌邪的天主；凡惱恨我的，我要追討他們的罪，從父親直到兒子，甚至三代四代的子孫。
Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neither serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third generation and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:
6 凡愛慕我和遵守我戒命的，我要對他們施仁慈，直到他們的千代子孫。
And shewing mercie vnto thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my commandemets.
7 不可妄呼上主你天主的名；因為凡妄呼他名的人，上主決不讓他們免受懲罰。
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not hold him guiltles that taketh his Name in vayne.
8 應記住安息日，守為聖日。
Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.
9 六天應該勞作，作你一切的事；
Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke,
10 但第七天是為恭敬上主你的天主當守的安息日；你自己、連你的兒女、你的僕婢、你的牲口，以及在你中間居住的外方人，都不可作任何工作。
But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
11 因為上主在六天內造了天地、海洋和其中一切，但第七天休息了，因此上主祝福了安息日，也定為聖日。
For in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 應孝敬你的父親和你的母親，好使你在上主你的天主賜給你的地方，延年益壽。
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
13 不可殺人。
Thou shalt not kill.
14 不可姦淫。
Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
15 不可偷盜。
Thou shalt not steale.
16 不可作假見證，害你的近人。
Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour.
17 不可貪你近人的房舍。不可貪戀你近人的妻子、僕人、婢女、牛驢及你近人的一切。
Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his mayde, nor his oxe, nor his asse, neyther any thing that is thy neighbours.
18 眾百姓看見打雷、打閃、吹角、冒煙的山，都戰兢害怕，遠遠站著，
And all the people sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare off,
19 對梅瑟說：「你同我們說話罷! 我們定要聽從，不要天主同我們說話，免得我們死亡。」
And sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we die.
20 梅瑟回答百姓說：「不要害怕! 因為天主降臨是為試探你們，使你們在他面前常懷敬畏之情，不致犯罪。」
Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not.
21 百姓遠遠站著，梅瑟卻走近天主所在的濃雲中。指示修建祭壇
So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes where God was.
22 上主向梅瑟說：「你這樣訓示以色列子民說：你們親自見過我從天上同你們說了話。
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen.
23 為此，你們決不可製造金銀神像，同我放在一起；你們萬不可作。
Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.
24 你應用土為我築一祭壇，在上面祭獻你的全燔祭與和平祭，以及你的牛羊；凡在我叫你稱頌我名的地方，我必到你那裏祝福你。
An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.
25 你若用石頭為我築一祭壇，不可用打成方塊的石頭建築，因為在石頭上動用了你的刀鑿，就把石頭褻瀆了。
But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them.
26 你不可沿著台階登我的祭壇，免得暴露你的裸體。
Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
