Exodus 20
1 'And God speaketh all these words, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
2 I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
3 'Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
4 'Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters 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 Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating 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 doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
7 'Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
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 sanctify it;
Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
9 six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
10 and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy 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 six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.
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 thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
13 'Thou dost not murder.
Non occides.
14 'Thou dost not commit adultery.
Non mœchaberis.
15 'Thou dost not steal.
Non furtum facies.
16 'Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
17 'Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour's.'
Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
18 And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,
Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
19 and say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
20 And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces — that ye sin not.'
Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
21 And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].
Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
22 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye — ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;
Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
23 ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.
Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
24 'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.
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 'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;
Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
26 neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
