Exodus 20
1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
Bog je spregovoril vse te besede, rekoč:
2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
»Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki sem te privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti.
3 Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Pred menoj ne boš imel nobenih drugih bogov.
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.
Sebi ne boš naredil nobene rezane podobe ali kakršnekoli podobnosti čemurkoli, kar je zgoraj na nebu ali kar je spodaj na zemlji ali kar je v vodi pod zemljo.
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,
Ne boš se jim priklanjal niti jim ne boš služil, kajti jaz, Gospod, tvoj Bog, sem ljubosumen Bog, ki obiskujem krivičnost očetov na otrocih do tretjega in četrtega rodu tistih, ki me sovražijo,
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
izkazujem pa usmiljenje tisočem tistih, ki me ljubijo in varujejo moje zapovedi.
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.
Ne boš v prazno vzel imena Gospoda, svojega Boga; kajti Gospod ne bo držal brez krivde tistega, ki v prazno jemlje njegovo ime.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Spominjaj se šabatnega dne, da ga ohraniš svetega.
9 Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
Šest dni se boš trudil in opravljal vse svoje delo,
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,
toda sedmi dan je šabat Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu. Na [ta dan] ne boš opravljal nobenega dela, ne ti, niti tvoj sin, niti tvoja hči, [niti] tvoj sluga, niti tvoja dekla, niti tvoja živina, niti tvoj tujec, ki je znotraj tvojih velikih vrat,
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.
kajti v šestih dneh je Gospod naredil nebo in zemljo, morje in vse, kar je v njih, sedmi dan pa je počival. Zato je Gospod blagoslovil šabatni dan in ga posvetil.
12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
Spoštuj svojega očeta in svojo mater, da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko dolgi na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog.
13 Thou shall not murder.
Ne boš ubil.
14 Thou shall not commit adultery.
Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva.
15 Thou shall not steal.
Ne boš kradel.
16 Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Ne boš prinašal krivega pričevanja zoper svojega bližnjega.
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.
Ne boš hlepel [po] hiši svojega bližnjega, ne boš hlepel [po] ženi svojega bližnjega, niti [po] njegovem slugi, niti [po] njegovi dekli, niti [po] njegovem volu, niti [po] njegovem oslu, niti [po] katerikoli stvari, ki je od tvojega bližnjega!«
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.
In vse ljudstvo je videlo grmenja in bliske, zvok šofarja in kadečo goro. Ko je ljudstvo to videlo, so se odstranili in stali daleč stran.
19 And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Mojzesu pa so rekli: »Ti govori z nami, mi pa bomo poslušali, toda Bog naj z nami ne govori, da ne bi umrli.«
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.
Mojzes je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se, kajti Bog je prišel, da vas preizkusi in da je njegov strah lahko pred vašimi obrazi, da ne grešite.«
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Ljudstvo je stalo daleč stran, Mojzes pa se je približal gosti temi, kjer je bil Bog.
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.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›Videli ste, da sem z vami govoril iz nebes.
23 Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make to you.
Poleg mene ne boste delali bogov iz srebra niti si ne boste delali bogov iz zlata.
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.
Naredil mi boš oltar iz zemlje in na njem boš žrtvoval svoje žgalne daritve in svoje mirovne daritve, svoje ovce in svoje vole. Na vseh krajih, kjer zapišem svoje ime, bom prišel k tebi in te blagoslovil.
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.
Če mi hočeš narediti oltar iz kamna, ga ne boš zgradil iz klesanega kamna, kajti če svoje orodje dvigneš nanj, si ga oskrunil.
26 Neither shall thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
Niti k mojemu oltarju ne boš šel gor po stopnicah, da na njih ne bo odkrita tvoja nagota.
