Exodus 20
1 Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
ʼElohim habló todas estas 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 Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
3 [So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
No tendrás otros ʼelohim delante de Mí.
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 te harás imagen ni alguna semejanza de lo que hay arriba en el cielo, o en la tierra, o en el agua debajo de la tierra.
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 te postrarás ante ellas ni les rendirás culto, porque Yo Yavé tu ʼElohim soy un ʼEL celoso, que castigo la iniquidad de los padres sobre los hijos hasta la tercera y la cuarta generación de los que me aborrecen,
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 misericordia a millares de los 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 tomarás el Nombre de Yavé tu ʼElohim en vano, porque Yavé no tendrá como inocente al que tome su Nombre en vano.
8 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
Acuérdate del día sábado para santificarlo.
9 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Seis días trabajarás y harás toda tu obra,
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 sábado es reposo para Yavé tu ʼElohim. No hagas en él alguna labor, tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tu animal, ni tu extranjero que está dentro de tus puertas.
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].
Porque en seis días Yavé hizo los cielos, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos, y reposó el sábado. Por tanto Yavé bendijo el día sábado y lo santificó.
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 tus días se prolonguen en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da.
13 Do not murder anyone.
No asesinarás.
14 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
No adulterarás.
15 Do not steal anything.
No robarás.
16 Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
No darás testimonio falso contra tu prójimo.
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 codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo, ni la esposa de tu prójimo, ni su esclavo, ni su esclava, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni alguna cosa de tu prójimo.
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,
Todo el pueblo percibía los truenos, los relámpagos, el sonido de la corneta y la Montaña que humeaba. Cuando el pueblo percibió [esto], se estremecieron y se mantuvieron lejos.
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.”
Dijeron a Moisés: Habla tú con nosotros y escucharemos. Pero que ʼElohim no nos hable, no sea que muramos.
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 dijo al pueblo: No teman, pues ʼElohim vino para probarlos, a fin de que el temor a Él esté ante ustedes, de modo que no pequen.
21 Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
Y el pueblo se mantuvo en pie a distancia mientras Moisés subía a la densa nube donde estaba ʼElohim.
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.
Yavé dijo a Moisés: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: Ustedes vieron que les hablé desde el cielo.
No harán además de Mí ʼelohim de plata ni de oro.
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.
Para Mí harás un altar de tierra y sacrificarás sobre él tus holocaustos y tus ofrendas de paz, tus ovejas y tus becerros. En todo lugar donde Yo ordene recordar mi Nombre, vendré a ti y te 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.
Si me haces altar de piedras, no lo construirás con piedra labrada, pues si alzas tu cincel sobre él, lo profanarás.
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.’”
No subirás por gradas a mi altar para que tu desnudez no se descubra sobre él.
