Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
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 shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on 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 and showing loving kindness 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 shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
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 keep it holy.
Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
9 You shall labour six days, and do all your work,
Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger 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, jumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.
11 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
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 “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
13 “You shall not murder.
Non occides.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Non mœchaberis.
15 “You shall not steal.
Non furtum facies.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”
Non concupisces domum proximi tui, nec desiderabis uxorem ejus, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
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 with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”
dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t 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 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
22 The LORD said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israël: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
23 You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will 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 shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
26 You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
