Exodus 20
1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
'And God speaketh all these words, saying,
2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
3 Thou shall have no other gods before me.
'Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
4 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.
'Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth.
5 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,
Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me,
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7 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.
'Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
'Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;
9 Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
10 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,
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, —
11 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.
for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.
12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
'Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
13 Thou shall not murder.
'Thou dost not murder.
14 Thou shall not commit adultery.
'Thou dost not commit adultery.
15 Thou shall not steal.
'Thou dost not steal.
16 Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
'Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
17 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.
'Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour's.'
18 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.
And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,
19 And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
and say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
20 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.
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces — that ye sin not.'
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].
22 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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye — ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;
23 Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make to you.
ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.
24 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.
'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.
25 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.
'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;
26 Neither shall thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
