Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words:
Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
3 You must have no other gods before me.
Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
4 You must not make for yourself a carved figure nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.
Non facies tibi sculptile, neque omnem similitudinem quæ est in cælo desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, nec eorum quæ sunt in aquis sub terra.
5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I punish the ancestors' wickedness by bringing punishment on the descendants, to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me.
Non adorabis ea, neque coles: ego sum Dominus Deus tuus fortis, zelotes, visitans iniquitatem patrum in filios, in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me:
6 But I show covenant faithfulness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
7 You must not take the name of Yahweh your God, in vain, for I will not hold guiltless anyone who takes my name in vain.
Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum. nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart to me.
Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
9 You must labor and do all your work for six days.
Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath for Yahweh your God. On it you must not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
Septimo autem die sabbatum Domini Dei tui est: non facies omne opus in eo, tu, et filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua, iumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.
11 For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and earth, the sea, and everything that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo, idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati, et sanctificavit eum.
12 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
13 You must not murder anyone.
Non occides.
14 You must not commit adultery.
Non mœchaberis.
15 You must not steal from anyone.
Non furtum facies.
16 You must not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
17 You must not covet your neighbor's house; you must not covet your neighbor's wife, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
18 All the people saw the thundering and the lightning, and heard the voice of the trumpet, and saw the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled and stood far off.
Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
19 They said to Moses, “Speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you so that the honor of him may be in you, and so that you do not sin.”
Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
21 So the people stood far off, and Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you must tell the Israelites: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
23 You will not make for yourselves other gods alongside me, gods of silver or gods of gold.
Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
24 You must make an earthen altar for me, and you must sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, fellowship offerings, sheep, and oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
Altare de terra facietis mihi, et offeretis super eo holocausta et pacifica vestra, oves vestras et boves in omni loco in quo memoria fuerit nominis mei: veniam ad te, et benedicam tibi.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you must not build it of cut stones, for if you use your tools on it, you will have defiled it.
Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
26 You must not go up to my altar on steps, so that your nakedness is not exposed.'”
Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
