Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
天主訓示以下這一切話說：「
2 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
我是上主你們的天主，是我領你出了埃及地、奴隸之所。
3 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
除我之外，你不可有別的神。
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor [the likeness of] any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
不可為你製造任何彷彿天上、或地上、或地下水中之物的雕像。
5 thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;
不可叩拜這些像，也不可敬奉，因為我，上主，你的貪主是忌邪的天主；凡惱恨我的，我要追討他們的罪，從父親直到兒子，甚至三代四代的子孫。
6 and shewing mercy unto thousands, of them that love me and keep my commandments.
凡愛慕我和遵守我戒命的，我要對他們施仁慈，直到他們的千代子孫。
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
不可妄呼上主你天主的名；因為凡妄呼他名的人，上主決不讓他們免受懲罰。
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
應記住安息日，守為聖日。
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
六天應該勞作，作你一切的事；
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
但第七天是為恭敬上主你的天主當守的安息日；你自己、連你的兒女、你的僕婢、你的牲口，以及在你中間居住的外方人，都不可作任何工作。
11 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
因為上主在六天內造了天地、海洋和其中一切，但第七天休息了，因此上主祝福了安息日，也定為聖日。
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
應孝敬你的父親和你的母親，好使你在上主你的天主賜給你的地方，延年益壽。
13 Thou shalt do no murder.
不可殺人。
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
不可姦淫。
15 Thou shalt not steal.
不可偷盜。
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
不可作假見證，害你的近人。
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
不可貪你近人的房舍。不可貪戀你近人的妻子、僕人、婢女、牛驢及你近人的一切。
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
眾百姓看見打雷、打閃、吹角、冒煙的山，都戰兢害怕，遠遠站著，
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
對梅瑟說：「你同我們說話罷! 我們定要聽從，不要天主同我們說話，免得我們死亡。」
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
梅瑟回答百姓說：「不要害怕! 因為天主降臨是為試探你們，使你們在他面前常懷敬畏之情，不致犯罪。」
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
百姓遠遠站著，梅瑟卻走近天主所在的濃雲中。指示修建祭壇
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
上主向梅瑟說：「你這樣訓示以色列子民說：你們親自見過我從天上同你們說了話。
23 Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
為此，你們決不可製造金銀神像，同我放在一起；你們萬不可作。
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.
你應用土為我築一祭壇，在上面祭獻你的全燔祭與和平祭，以及你的牛羊；凡在我叫你稱頌我名的地方，我必到你那裏祝福你。
25 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
你若用石頭為我築一祭壇，不可用打成方塊的石頭建築，因為在石頭上動用了你的刀鑿，就把石頭褻瀆了。
26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
你不可沿著台階登我的祭壇，免得暴露你的裸體。
