Exodus 20
1 Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
Dios dijo todas las siguientes palabras:
2 “I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
“Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te sacó de Egipto, de la tierra de tu esclavitud.
3 [So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
“No tendrás a otros dioses aparte de mi.
4 You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
“No harás ningún tipo de ídolo, ya sea que se parezca a algo arriba en los cielos, o abajo en la tierra, ni debajo en las aguas.
5 You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
No debes inclinarte ante ellos ni adorarlos, porque yo soy el Señor tu Dios y soy celosamente exclusivo. Yo pongo las consecuencias del pecado de los que me odian sobre sus hijos, sus nietos y sus bisnietos;
6 But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
pero muestro mi amor fiel a las miles de generaciones que me aman y guardan mis mandamientos.
7 Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
“No debes usar mal el nombre del Señor tu Dios, porque el Señor no perdonará a nadie que use su nombre de forma incorrecta.
8 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
“Recuerda el sábado para santificarlo.
9 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Tienes seis días para trabajar y ganarte el sustento,
10 but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
pero el séptimo día es el sábado para honrar al Señor tu Dios. En este día no debes hacer ningún trabajo, ni tú, ni tu hijo o hija, ni tu esclavo o esclava, ni el ganado, ni el extranjero que esté contigo.
11 I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
Porqueen seis días el Señor hizo los cielos y la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos, y luego descansó en el séptimo día. Por eso el Señor bendijo el día de reposo y lo hizo santo.
12 Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
“Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que vivas mucho tiempo en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da.
13 Do not murder anyone.
“No cometerás asesinato.
14 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
“No cometerás adulterio.
15 Do not steal anything.
“No robarás.
16 Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
“No darás falso testimonio contra otros.
17 Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
“No desearás tener la casa de otro. No desearás a su esposa, nia su esclavo o esclava, ni a su buey o asno, ni cualquier otra cosa que le pertenezca”.
18 When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
Cuando todo el pueblo oyó el trueno y el sonido de la trompeta, y vio el relámpago y el humo de la montaña, temblaron de miedo y se alejaron.
19 and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
“Habla con nosotros y te escucharemos”, le dijeron a Moisés. “Pero no dejes que Dios nos hable, o moriremos”.
20 Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
Moisés les dijo: “No teman, porque Dios sólo ha venido a probarlos. Quiere que le tengan miedo para que no pequen”.
21 Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
Entonces el pueblo se alejó mucho cuando Moisés se acercó a la espesa y oscura nube donde estaba Dios.
22 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
El Señor le dijo a Moisés: “Esto es lo que les debes decir a los israelitas: ‘Vieron con sus propios ojos que les hablé desde el cielo.
Noharán ningún ídolo de plata o de oro ni lo adorarán aparte de mí.
24 Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
Háganme un altar de tierra y sacrifiquen sobre él sus holocaustos y ofrendas de paz, sus ovejas, sus cabras y su ganado. Dondequiera que decida que me adoren, vendé a ustedes y los bendeciré.
25 If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
Ahora bien, si me hacen un altar de piedras, no lo construyas con piedras cortadas, porque si usan un cincel para cortar la piedra, dejan de ser sagradas.
26 Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
Además, no deben subir a mi altar con escalones, para que no se vean sus partes privadas’”.
