Exodus 20

1 God spoke all these words, saying,

١ ثُمَّ نَطَقَ اللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ:

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

٢ «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ دِيَارِ عُبُودِيَّتِكَ.

3 Do not have other gods before me.

٣ لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى سِوَايَ.

4 "Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

٤ لَا تَنْحَتْ لَكَ تِمْثَالاً، وَلا تَصْنَعْ صُورَةً مَّا مِمَّا فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي الْمَاءِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الأَرْضِ.

5 you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,

٥ لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ آثَامَ الآبَاءِ فِي البَنِينَ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ وَالرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ،

6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

٦ وَأَبْدِي إحْسَاناً نَحْوَ أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ وَصَايَايَ.

7 "Do not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

٧ لَا تَنْطِقْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعَاقِبُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِاسْمِهِ بَاطِلاً.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

٨ اذْكُرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ،

9 Six days you may labor, and do all your work,

٩ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَقُومُ بِجَمِيعِ مَشَاغِلِكَ،

10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

١٠ أَمَّا الْيَوْمُ السَّابِعُ فَتَجْعَلُهُ سَبْتاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فَلا تَقُمْ فِيهِ بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ أَنْتَ أَوِ ابْنُكَ أَوْ ابْنَتُكَ أَوِ عَبْدُكَ أَوْ أَمَتُكَ أَوْ بَهِيمَتُكَ أَوِ النَّزِيلُ الْمُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ.

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 seventh day, and made it holy.

١١ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ صَنَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتَراحَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ. لِهَذَا بَارَكَ الرَّبُّ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَجَعَلَهُ مُقَدَّساً.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.

١٢ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ يَطُولَ عُمْرُكَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُكَ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

13 "Do not commit adultery.

١٣ لَا تَقْتُلْ.

14 "Do not murder.

١٤ لَا تَزْنِ.

15 "Do not steal.

١٥ لَا تَسْرِقْ.

16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.

١٦ لَا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً عَلَى جَارِكَ.

17 "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

١٧ لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ جَارِكَ، وَلا زَوْجَتَهُ، وَلا عَبْدَهُ، وَلا أَمَتَهُ، وَلا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلا حِمَارَهُ، وَلا شَيْئاً مِمَّا لَهُ».

18 And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.

١٨ وَعِنْدَمَا عَايَنَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ الرُّعُودَ وَالْبُرُوقَ، وَسَمِعُوا دَوِيَّ صَوْتِ الْبُوقِ، وَرَأَوْا الجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ ارْتَجَفُوا خَوْفاً وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."

١٩ وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمْنَا أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ فَنَسْمَعَ، لِئَلّا نَمُوتَ إذَا ظَلَّ اللهُ يُخَاطِبُنَا».

20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."

٢٠ فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لا تَخَافُوا. إِنَّمَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَاءَ لِيَمْتَحِنَكُمْ حَتَّى تَظَلَّ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ تُلازِمُكُمْ فَلا تُخْطِئُوا».

21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

٢١ وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الشَّعْبُ وَاقِفاً مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، اقْتَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الظَّلامِ المُتَكَاثِفِ حَيْثُ كَانَ اللهُ.

22 Jehovah said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

٢٢ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ كَيْفَ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

٢٣ فَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ صُنْعِ آلِهَةِ فِضَّةٍ أَوْ آلِهَةِ ذَهَبٍ لَكُمْ لِتُشْرِكُوهَا مَعِي.

24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

٢٤ أَقِمْ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ تُرَابٍ تُقَدِّمُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَقَرَابِينَ سَلامَتِكَ مِنْ غَنَمِكَ وَبَقَرِكَ. وَآتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ فِي جَمِيعِ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي أُقِيمُ فِيهَا لاِسْمِي ذِكْراً.

25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

٢٥ وَإِنْ بَنَيْتَ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ، فَلا تَبْنِهِ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، لأَنَّ اسْتِعْمَالَكَ لِلإِزْمِيلِ يُدَنِّسُهَا

26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'

٢٦ وَلا تَرْتَقِ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي بِدَرَجٍ لِئَلّا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ».
