Exodus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
And God spoke all these words:
2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
You shall 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 shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
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 shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who 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.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
9 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
Six days you shall labor and do 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.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner 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 the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
13 Non occides.
You shall not murder.
14 Non mœchaberis.
You shall not commit adultery.
15 Non furtum facies.
You shall not steal.
16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
You shall not bear false witness 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 shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.
19 dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will 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.
“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”
21 Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22 Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israël: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or 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.
You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.
25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.
26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
