Exodus 20

1 And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

And God spoke all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

I am Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 You shall have no other gods beside me.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:

5 You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

thou shalt 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 to the third and to the fourth [generation] of them that hate me,

6 and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.

and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.

8 Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.

Remember the sabbath day to hallow it.

9 Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work.

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;

10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.

but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.

Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

13 You shall not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not kill.

14 You shall not steal.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 You shall not kill.

Thou shalt not steal.

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.

Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's wife, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.

18 And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw [it], they trembled, and stood afar off,

19 and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.

and said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.

And Moses said to the people, Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the obscurity where God was.

22 And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: Ye have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.

23 You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.

Ye shall not make beside me gods of silver, and ye shall not make to you gods of gold.

24 You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.

An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen: in all places where I shall make my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and bless thee.

25 And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.

And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy sharp tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.

26 You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.

Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
