Exodus 20

1 And God speaks all these words, saying,

١ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ قَائِلًا:

2 “I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

٢ «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

3 You have no other Gods before Me.

٣ لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

4 You do not make a carved image for yourself, 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.

٤ لَا تَصْنَعْ لَكَ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا، وَلَا صُورَةً مَا مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

5 You do not bow yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, your God YHWH, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,

٥ لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلَا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ ذُنُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ،

6 and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

٦ وَأَصْنَعُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَايَ.

7 You do not take up the Name of your God YHWH for a vain thing, for YHWH does not acquit him who takes up His Name for a vain thing.

٧ لَا تَنْطِقْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِٱسْمِهِ بَاطِلًا.

8 Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it;

٨ اُذْكُرْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ.

9 six days you labor and have done all your work,

٩ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَصْنَعُ جَمِيعَ عَمَلِكَ،

10 and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your manservant, and your handmaid, and your livestock, and your sojourner who is within your gates—

١٠ وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَصْنَعْ عَمَلًا مَّا أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَبَهِيمَتُكَ وَنَزِيلُكَ ٱلَّذِي دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ.

11 for [in] six days YHWH has made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rests in the seventh day; therefore YHWH has blessed the Sabbath day and sanctifies it.

١١ لِأَنْ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ وَقَدَّسَهُ.

12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you.

١٢ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

13 You do not murder.

١٣ لَا تَقْتُلْ.

14 You do not commit adultery.

١٤ لَا تَزْنِ.

15 You do not steal.

١٥ لَا تَسْرِقْ.

16 You do not answer [with] a false testimony against your neighbor.

١٦ لَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى قَرِيبِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ.

17 You do not desire the house of your neighbor, you do not desire the wife of your neighbor, or his manservant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which [is] your neighbor’s.”

١٧ لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ قَرِيبِكَ. لَا تَشْتَهِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِكَ، وَلَا عَبْدَهُ، وَلَا أَمَتَهُ، وَلَا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلَا حِمَارَهُ، وَلَا شَيْئًا مِمَّا لِقَرِيبِكَ».

18 And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand far off,

١٨ وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرَوْنَ ٱلرُّعُودَ وَٱلْبُرُوقَ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، وَٱلْجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱرْتَعَدُوا وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

19 and say to Moses, “Speak with us, and we hear, and do not let God speak with us, lest we die.”

١٩ وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «تَكَلَّمْ أَنْتَ مَعَنَا فَنَسْمَعَ. وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمْ مَعَنَا ٱللهُ لِئَلَّا نَمُوتَ».

20 And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to try you, and in order that His fear may be before your faces—that you do not sin.”

٢٠ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِكَيْ يَمْتَحِنَكُمْ، وَلِكَيْ تَكُونَ مَخَافَتُهُ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُخْطِئُوا».

21 And the people stand far off, and Moses has drawn near to the thick darkness where God [is].

٢١ فَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلضَّبَابِ حَيْثُ كَانَ ٱللهُ.

22 And YHWH says to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens;

٢٢ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَكَلَّمْتُ مَعَكُمْ.

23 you do not make gods of silver and gods of gold [to be] with Me—you do not make [any idol] for yourselves.

٢٣ لَا تَصْنَعُوا مَعِي آلِهَةَ فِضَّةٍ، وَلَا تَصْنَعُوا لَكُمْ آلِهَةَ ذَهَبٍ.

24 You make an altar of earth for Me, and you have sacrificed on it your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, your flock and your herd; in every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I come to you, and have blessed you.

٢٤ مَذْبَحًا مِنْ تُرَابٍ تَصْنَعُ لِي وَتَذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَتِكَ، غَنَمَكَ وَبَقَرَكَ. فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِي ذِكْرًا آتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ.

25 And if you make an altar of stones for Me, you do not build them of hewn work; when you have waved your tool over it, then you defile it;

٢٥ وَإِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي مَذْبَحًا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فَلَا تَبْنِهِ مِنْهَا مَنْحُوتَةً. إِذَا رَفَعْتَ عَلَيْهَا إِزْمِيلَكَ تُدَنِّسُهَا.

26 neither do you go up by steps on My altar, that your nakedness is not revealed on it.

٢٦ وَلَا تَصْعَدْ بِدَرَجٍ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي كَيْلَا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ.
