出埃及记 20
1 神吩咐这一切的话说：
God spoke all the following words:
2 “我是耶和华—你的 神，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
“I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the land of your slavery.
3 “除了我以外，你不可有别的神。
You must not have any other gods except me.
4 “不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形象仿佛上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。
You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
5 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因为我耶和华—你的 神是忌邪的 神。恨我的，我必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；
You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
6 爱我、守我诫命的，我必向他们发慈爱，直到千代。
but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “不可妄称耶和华—你 神的名；因为妄称耶和华名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。
You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
8 “当记念安息日，守为圣日。
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 六日要劳碌做你一切的工，
You have six days to work and earn your living,
10 但第七日是向耶和华—你 神当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜，并你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可做；
but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
11 因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海，和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。
For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “当孝敬父母，使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐你的地上得以长久。
Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “不可杀人。
You must not murder.
14 “不可奸淫。
You must not commit adultery.
15 “不可偷盗。
You must not steal.
16 “不可作假见证陷害人。
You must not give false evidence against others.
17 “不可贪恋人的房屋；也不可贪恋人的妻子、仆婢、牛驴，并他一切所有的。”
You must not desire to have anyone else's house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them.”
18 众百姓见雷轰、闪电、角声、山上冒烟，就都发颤，远远地站立，
When all the people heard the thunder and the sound of the trumpet, and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off.
19 对摩西说：“求你和我们说话，我们必听；不要 神和我们说话，恐怕我们死亡。”
“You speak to us, and we'll listen,” they said to Moses. “But don't let God speak to us, or we'll die.”
20 摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕；因为 神降临是要试验你们，叫你们时常敬畏他，不致犯罪。”
Moses told them, “Do not be afraid, for God has only come to test you. He wants you to be in awe of him so that you don't sin.”
21 于是百姓远远地站立；摩西就挨近 神所在的幽暗之中。
The people stood a long way off as Moses went over to the thick, dark cloud where God was.
22 耶和华对摩西说：“你要向以色列人这样说：‘你们自己看见我从天上和你们说话了。
The Lord told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves that I spoke with you from heaven.
23 你们不可做什么神像与我相配，不可为自己做金银的神像。
You must not make any idols of silver or gold to worship in addition to me.
24 你要为我筑土坛，在上面以牛羊献为燔祭和平安祭。凡记下我名的地方，我必到那里赐福给你。
Make me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I decide to be worshiped, I will come to you and bless you.
25 你若为我筑一座石坛，不可用凿成的石头，因你在上头一动家具，就把坛污秽了。
Now if you make an altar out of stones for me, you must not build it with cut stones, because if you use a chisel to cut the stone, you make it unholy.
26 你上我的坛，不可用台阶，免得露出你的下体来。’”
Also, you must not go up to my altar using steps, so your private parts are not seen.’”
