Exodus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
I am Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
Thou shalt 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.
Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what 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:
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth [generation] of them that hate me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum. nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.
8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Remember the sabbath day to hallow it.
9 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy 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, iumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.
but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy 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 Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
13 Non occides.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 Non mœchaberis.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Non furtum facies.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's wife, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour'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 saw the thunderings, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw [it], they trembled, and stood afar off,
19 dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
and said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not 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 said to the people, Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
21 Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the obscurity where God was.
22 Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: Ye have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.
23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
Ye shall not make beside me gods of silver, and ye shall not make to you gods of gold.
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.
An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen: in all places where I shall make my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and bless thee.
25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy sharp tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.
26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
