出埃及記 20
1 天主訓示以下這一切話說：「
God spoke all these words, 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 your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 除我之外，你不可有別的神。
“You shall have no 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。
“You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under 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。
you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who 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 showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
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。
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 應記住安息日，守為聖日。
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 六天應該勞作，作你一切的事；
You shall labor six days, and do all your work,
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 seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your 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 six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
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。
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 不可殺人。
“You shall not murder.
14 不可姦淫。
“You shall not commit adultery.
15 不可偷盜。
“You shall not steal.
16 不可作假見證，害你的近人。
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
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。
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
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，
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
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。」
They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, 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。」
Moses 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.”
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
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness 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。
The LORD said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
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。
You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
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。
You 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.
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。
If 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.
26 你不可沿著台階登我的祭壇，免得暴露你的裸體。
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
