< Exodus 20 >
1 And the Lord spoke all these words:
神吩咐这一切的话说:
2 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“我是耶和华—你的 神,曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
3 Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
“除了我以外,你不可有别的神。
4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
“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。
5 Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
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;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
爱我、守我诫命的,我必向他们发慈爱,直到千代。
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.
“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。
8 Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
“当记念安息日,守为圣日。
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
六日要劳碌做你一切的工,
10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
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;
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
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。
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.
“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。
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
“不可奸淫。
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
“不可作假见证陷害人。
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
“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。”
18 And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,
众百姓见雷轰、闪电、角声、山上冒烟,就都发颤,远远地站立,
19 Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.
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。”
20 And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.
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。”
21 And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.
于是百姓远远地站立;摩西就挨近 神所在的幽暗之中。
22 And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
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。
23 You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.
你们不可做什么神像与我相配,不可为自己做金银的神像。
24 You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee.
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。
25 And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.
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。
26 Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.
你上我的坛,不可用台阶,免得露出你的下体来。’”
