Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words saying: —
天主訓示以下這一切話說：「
2 I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
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 not have other gods besides me.
除我之外，你不可有別的神。
4 Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath 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 thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, 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 but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who 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 utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
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 hallow it:
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 Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who 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, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh 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 prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto 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 not commit 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 testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
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 servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
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, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, 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—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces 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 So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
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 [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
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, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and 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 But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned 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, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
你不可沿著台階登我的祭壇，免得暴露你的裸體。
