12 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
13 “Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.
你要吩咐以色列子民說:你們務要守我的安息日,這是我與你們之間世世代代的記號,使你們知道,我是祝聖你們的上主。
14 You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.
所以你們應守安息日,因為這日為你們是聖日,那褻瀆這聖日的,應受死刑;凡在這日工作的,應從百姓中鏟除。
15 You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].
六日中可以工作,但第七日應完全安息,因為是獻於上主的聖日;凡在安息日工作的,應受死刑。
16 You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.
以色列子民要守安息日,世世代代要過安息日,作為永遠的盟約。
17 It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”
這是我與以色列子民之間的永遠記號,因為上主六天造了天地,第七天停工休息。」賜約版
18 When Yahweh finished talking with Moses/me on the top of Sinai Mountain, he gave him/me the two stone slabs on which he had engraved his commandments with his own fingers.
上主在西乃山向梅瑟說完了話,交給他兩塊約版,即天主用手指所寫的石版。
