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.
Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “Listen, Israel, to the statutes and the decrees that I will speak in your ears today, that you may learn them and keep them.
2 Dominus Deus noster pepigit nobiscum foedus in Horeb.
Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Non cum patribus nostris iniit pactum, sed nobiscum qui in praesentiarum sumus, et vivimus.
Yahweh did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with us, all of us alive here today.
4 Facie ad faciem locutus est nobis in monte de medio ignis.
Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mount out of the middle of the fire
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:
(I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to reveal to you his word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain). Yahweh said,
6 Ego Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Aegypti de domo servitutis.
'I am Yahweh 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 will 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 will not make for yourself a carved figure nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.
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 will not bow down to them or serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I punish the ancestors' wickedness by bringing punishment on the children, to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
10 et faciens misericordiam in multa millia diligentibus me, et custodientibus praecepta mea.
and showing covenant faithfulness to thousands, to 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 will not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
12 Observa diem Sabbati, ut sanctifices eum, sicut praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus.
Observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
For six days you will 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 Yahweh your God. On it you will not do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor any foreigner who is within your gates. This is so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
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.
You will call to mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh 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 Yahweh your God has commanded you to do, that you may live a long time in the land that Yahweh your God gives you, and so that it may go well with you.
17 Non occides.
You will not murder.
18 Neque moechaberis.
You will not commit adultery.
19 Furtumque non facies.
You will not steal.
20 Nec loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
You will not give 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 will not covet your neighbor's wife, you will not covet your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his 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.
These words Yahweh spoke in a loud voice to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness; he did not add any more words. He wrote them down 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:
It came about, when you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning, that you came near to me—all your elders and the heads of your tribes.
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.
You said, 'Look, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire; we have seen today that when God speaks with people, they can live.
25 Cur ergo moriemur, et devorabit nos ignis hic maximus? Si enim audierimus ultra vocem Domini Dei nostri, moriemur.
But why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any longer, we will die.
26 Quid est omnis caro, ut audiat vocem Dei viventis, qui de medio ignis loquitur sicut nos audivimus, et possit vivere?
For who besides us is there among all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speak out of the middle of the fire and lived, as we have done?
27 Tu magis accede: et audi cuncta quae dixerit Dominus Deus noster tibi: loquerisque ad nos, et nos audientes faciemus ea.
As for you, you should go and listen to everything that Yahweh our God says; repeat to us everything that Yahweh our God says to you; we will listen to it and obey it.'
28 Quod cum audisset Dominus, ait ad me: Audivi vocem verborum populi huius quae locuti sunt tibi: bene omnia sunt locuti.
Yahweh heard your words when you spoke to me. He said to me, 'I have heard the words of this people, what they said to you. What they said was good.
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?
Oh, that there were such a heart in them, that they would honor me and always keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their children forever!
30 Vade et dic eis: Revertimini in tentoria vestra.
Go say to 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 as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, the statutes, and the decrees that you will teach them, so that they may keep them in the land that I will give them to possess.'
32 Custodite igitur et facite quae praecepit Dominus Deus vobis: non declinabitis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram:
You will keep, therefore, what Yahweh your God has commanded you; you will not turn aside to the right hand 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 will walk in all the ways that Yahweh your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and so that it may go well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
