Exodus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
And God speaks all these words, saying,
2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
“I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
You have no other Gods before Me.
4 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.
You do not make a carved image for yourself, 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.
5 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:
You do not bow yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, your God YHWH, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum: nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
You do not take up the Name of your God YHWH for a vain thing, for YHWH does not acquit him who takes up His Name for a vain thing.
8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it;
9 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
six days you labor and have done all your work,
10 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.
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your manservant, and your handmaid, and your livestock, and your sojourner who is within your gates—
11 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.
for [in] six days YHWH has made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rests in the seventh day; therefore YHWH has blessed the Sabbath day and sanctifies it.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
Honor your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you.
13 Non occides.
You do not murder.
14 Non mœchaberis.
You do not commit adultery.
15 Non furtum facies.
You do not steal.
16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
You do not answer [with] a false testimony against your neighbor.
17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui, nec desiderabis uxorem ejus, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
You do not desire the house of your neighbor, you do not desire the wife of your neighbor, or his manservant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which [is] your neighbor’s.”
18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand far off,
19 dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
and say to Moses, “Speak with us, and we hear, and do not let God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to try you, and in order that His fear may be before your faces—that you do not sin.”
21 Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
And the people stand far off, and Moses has drawn near to the thick darkness where God [is].
22 Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israël: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens;
23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
you do not make gods of silver and gods of gold [to be] with Me—you do not make [any idol] for yourselves.
24 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.
You make an altar of earth for Me, and you have sacrificed on it your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, your flock and your herd; in every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I come to you, and have blessed you.
25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
And if you make an altar of stones for Me, you do not build them of hewn work; when you have waved your tool over it, then you defile it;
26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
neither do you go up by steps on My altar, that your nakedness is not revealed on it.
