2 YHWH our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3 YHWH did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

4 YHWH spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire,

YHWH has spoken with you face to face on the mountain, out of the midst of the fire;

5 (I stood between YHWH and you at that time, to show you the words of YHWH: for you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mountain; ) saying,

I am standing between YHWH and you, at that time, to declare the word of YHWH to you, for you have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and you have not gone up into the mountain; for [He] says:

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

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

7 "Do not have no other gods before me.

You have no other gods in My presence.

8 "Do not make an engraved image for yourself, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on the earth below, or that is in the waters below the earth.

You do not make a carved image for yourself, any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth.

9 You must not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, YHWH, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation] of those who hate me;

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, and on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,

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

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

11 "Do not take the name of YHWH your God in vain: for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

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.

12 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as YHWH your God commanded you.

Observe the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as your God YHWH has commanded you;

13 Six days you may labor, and do all your work;

six days you labor and have done all your work,

14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your God. On it you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, your ox, nor your donkey, nor your livestock, your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and your ox, and your donkey, and all your livestock, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that your manservant and your handmaid rest like yourself.

15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore YHWH your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

And you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt, and your God YHWH brings you out from there by a strong hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore your God YHWH has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

21 "Do not covet your neighbor's wife. Do not crave your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."

You do not desire your neighbor’s wife, nor do you covet your neighbor’s house, his field, and his manservant, and his handmaid, his ox, and his donkey, and anything which [is] your neighbor’s.

22 These words YHWH spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

YHWH has spoken these words to all your assembly in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, [and] of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, [with] a great voice; and He has not added; and He writes them on two tablets of stone and gives them to me.

23 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

And it comes to pass, as you hear the voice out of the midst of the darkness and of the mountain burning with fire, that you come near to me, all [the] heads of your tribes and your elderly,

24 and you said, "Look, YHWH our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.

and say, Behold, our God YHWH has showed us His glory and His greatness; and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God speaks with man—and he has lived.

25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of YHWH our God any more, then we shall die.

And now, why do we die? For this great fire consumes us if we add to hear the voice of our God YHWH anymore—then we have died.

26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

For who of all flesh [is] he who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us, and lives?

27 Go near, and hear all that YHWH our God shall say to you, and tell us all that YHWH our God speaks to you; and we will hear it, and do it."

Draw near and hear all that which our God YHWH says, and you, you speak to us all that which our God YHWH speaks to you, and we have listened and done it.

28 YHWH heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and YHWH said to me, "I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

And YHWH hears the voice of your words in your speaking to me, and YHWH says to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you; they have done well [in] all that they have spoken.

29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever.

O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me and to keep My commands [for] all the days, that it may be well with them and with their sons for all time!

30 "Go tell them, Return to your tents.

Go, say to them, Return for yourselves, to your tents;

31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it."

and you, stand here with Me, and let Me speak to you all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which you teach them, and they have done [them] in the land which I am giving to them to possess it.

32 You shall observe to do therefore as YHWH your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

And you have observed to do as your God YHWH has commanded you, you do not turn aside [to] the right or left;

33 You shall walk in all the way which YHWH your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

in all the way which your God YHWH has commanded you—walk, so that you live, and [it is] well with you, and you have prolonged days in the land which you possess.”
