Deuteronomii 5
1 Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israelem, et dixit ad eum: Audi Israel ceremonias atque iudicia, quae ego loquor in auribus vestris hodie: discite ea, et opere complete.
Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.
2 Dominus Deus noster pepigit nobiscum foedus in Horeb.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Non cum patribus nostris iniit pactum, sed nobiscum qui in praesentiarum sumus, et vivimus.
He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.
4 Facie ad faciem locutus est nobis in monte de medio ignis.
The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.
5 Ego sequester et medius fui inter Dominum et vos in tempore illo, ut annunciarem vobis verba eius. timuistis enim ignem, et non ascendistis in montem, et ait:
At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:
6 Ego Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Aegypti de domo servitutis.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 Non habebis deos alienos in conspectu meo.
You shall have no other gods before Me.
8 Non facies tibi sculptile, nec similitudinem omnium, quae in caelo sunt desuper, et quae in terra deorsum, et quae versantur 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.
9 Non adorabis ea, et non coles. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus: Deus aemulator, reddens iniquitatem patrum super filios in tertiam et quartam generationem his 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,
10 et faciens misericordiam in multa millia diligentibus me, et custodientibus praecepta mea.
but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
11 Non usurpabis nomen Domini Dei tui frustra: quia non erit impunitus qui super re vana nomen eius assumpserit.
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.
12 Observa diem Sabbati, ut sanctifices eum, sicut praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus.
Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
13 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
14 Septimus dies Sabbati est, id est, requies Domini Dei tui. Non facies in eo quidquam operis tu, et filius tuus, et filia, servus et ancilla, et bos, et asinus, et omne iumentum tuum, et peregrinus qui est intra portas tuas: ut requiescat servus tuus, et ancilla tua, sicut et tu.
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, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.
15 Memento quod et ipse servieris in Aegypto, et eduxerit te inde Dominus Deus tuus in manu forti, et brachio extento. Idcirco praecepit tibi ut observares diem Sabbati.
Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honora patrem tuum et matrem, sicut praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus, ut longo vivas tempore, et bene sit tibi in Terra, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi.
Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
17 Non occides.
You shall not murder.
18 Neque moechaberis.
You shall not commit adultery.
19 Furtumque non facies.
You shall not steal.
20 Nec loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 Non concupisces uxorem proximi tui: non domum, non agrum, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, et universa quae illius sunt.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
22 Haec verba locutus est Dominus ad omnem multitudinem vestram in monte de medio ignis et nubis, et caliginis, voce magna, nihil addens amplius: et scripsit ea in duabus tabulis lapideis, quas tradidit mihi.
The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
23 Vos autem postquam audistis vocem de medio tenebrarum, et montem ardere vidistis, accessistis ad me omnes principes tribuum et maiores natu, atque dixistis:
And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
24 Ecce ostendit nobis Dominus Deus noster maiestatem et magnitudinem suam. vocem enim eius audivimus de medio ignis, et probavimus hodie quod loquente Deo cum homine, vixerit homo.
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.
25 Cur ergo moriemur, et devorabit nos ignis hic maximus? Si enim audierimus ultra vocem Domini Dei nostri, moriemur.
But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
26 Quid est omnis caro, ut audiat vocem Dei viventis, qui de medio ignis loquitur sicut nos audivimus, et possit vivere?
For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?
27 Tu magis accede: et audi cuncta quae dixerit Dominus Deus noster tibi: loquerisque ad nos, et nos audientes faciemus ea.
Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”
28 Quod cum audisset Dominus, ait ad me: Audivi vocem verborum populi huius quae locuti sunt tibi: bene omnia sunt locuti.
And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.
29 Quis det talem eos habere mentem, ut timeant me, et custodiant universa mandata mea in omni tempore, ut bene sit eis et filiis eorum in sempiternum?
If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.
30 Vade et dic eis: Revertimini in tentoria vestra.
Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Tu vero hic sta mecum, et loquar tibi omnia mandata mea, et ceremonias atque iudicia: quae docebis eos, ut faciant ea in Terra, quam dabo illis in possessionem.
But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
32 Custodite igitur et facite quae praecepit Dominus Deus vobis: non declinabitis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram:
So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.
33 sed per viam, quam praecepit Dominus Deus vester, ambulabitis, ut vivatis, et bene sit vobis, et protelentur dies in terra possessionis vestrae.
You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
