Deuteronomy 5
1 Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.
Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israelem, et dixit ad eum: Audi Israel ceremonias atque iudicia, quæ ego loquor in auribus vestris hodie: discite ea, et opere complete.
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
Dominus Deus noster pepigit nobiscum fœdus in Horeb.
3 He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.
Non cum patribus nostris iniit pactum, sed nobiscum qui in præsentiarum sumus, et vivimus.
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.
Facie ad faciem locutus est nobis in monte de medio ignis.
5 At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:
Ego sequester et medius fui inter Dominum et vos in tempore illo, ut annunciarem vobis verba eius. Timuistis enim ignem, et non ascendistis in montem, et ait:
6 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Ego Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Ægypti de domo servitutis.
7 You shall have no other gods before Me.
Non habebis deos alienos in conspectu meo.
8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
Non facies tibi sculptile, nec similitudinem omnium, quæ in cælo sunt desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, et quæ versantur in aquis sub terra.
9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Non adorabis ea, et non coles. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus: Deus æmulator, reddens iniquitatem patrum super filios in tertiam et quartam generationem his qui oderunt me,
10 but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
et faciens misericordiam in multa millia diligentibus me, et custodientibus præcepta mea.
11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
Non usurpabis nomen Domini Dei tui frustra: quia non erit impunitus qui super re vana nomen eius assumpserit.
12 Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
Observa diem Sabbati, ut sanctifices eum, sicut præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus.
13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.
Septimus dies Sabbati est, id est, requies Domini Dei tui. Non facies in eo quidquam operis tu, et filius tuus, et filia, servus et ancilla, et bos, et asinus, et omne iumentum tuum, et peregrinus qui est intra portas tuas: ut requiescat servus tuus, et ancilla tua, sicut et tu.
15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Memento quod et ipse servieris in Ægypto, et eduxerit te inde Dominus Deus tuus in manu forti, et brachio extento. Idcirco præcepit tibi ut observares diem Sabbati.
16 Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Honora patrem tuum et matrem, sicut præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus, ut longo vivas tempore, et bene sit tibi in Terra, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi.
17 You shall not murder.
Non occides.
18 You shall not commit adultery.
Neque mœchaberis.
19 You shall not steal.
Furtumque non facies.
20 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Nec loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
21 You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Non concupisces uxorem proximi tui: non domum, non agrum, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, et universa quæ illius sunt.
22 The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
Hæc verba locutus est Dominus ad omnem multitudinem vestram in monte de medio ignis et nubis, et caliginis, voce magna, nihil addens amplius: et scripsit ea in duabus tabulis lapideis, quas tradidit mihi.
23 And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
Vos autem postquam audistis vocem de medio tenebrarum, et montem ardere vidistis, accessistis ad me omnes principes tribuum et maiores natu, atque dixistis:
24 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.
Ecce ostendit nobis Dominus Deus noster maiestatem et magnitudinem suam. Vocem eius audivimus de medio ignis, et probavimus hodie quod loquente Deo cum homine, vixerit homo.
25 But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
Cur ergo moriemur, et devorabit nos ignis hic maximus? Si enim audierimus ultra vocem Domini Dei nostri, moriemur.
26 For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?
Quid est omnis caro, ut audiat vocem Dei viventis, qui de medio ignis loquitur sicut nos audivimus, et possit vivere?
27 Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”
Tu magis accede: et audi cuncta quæ dixerit Dominus Deus noster tibi: loquerisque ad nos, et nos audientes faciemus ea.
28 And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.
Quod cum audisset Dominus, ait ad me: Audivi vocem verborum populi huius quæ locuti sunt tibi: bene omnia sunt locuti.
29 If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.
Quis det talem eos habere mentem, ut timeant me, et custodiant universa mandata mea in omni tempore, ut bene sit eis et filiis eorum in sempiternum?
30 Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’
Vade et dic eis: Revertimini in tentoria vestra.
31 But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
Tu vero hic sta mecum, et loquar tibi omnia mandata mea, et ceremonias atque iudicia: quæ docebis eos, ut faciant ea in Terra, quam dabo illis in possessionem.
32 So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.
Custodite igitur et facite quæ præcepit Dominus Deus vobis: non declinabitis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram:
33 You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
sed per viam, quam præcepit Dominus Deus vester, ambulabitis, ut vivatis, et bene sit vobis, et protelentur dies in terra possessionis vestræ.
