Exodus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
And God spake all these words, saying,
2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis.
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
4 Non facies tibi sculptile, neque omnem similitudinem quae est in caelo desuper, et quae in terra deorsum, nec eorum quae sunt in aquis sub terra.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor [the likeness of] any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt praecepta 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 take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
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 a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram, et mare, et omnia quae in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo, idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati, et sanctificavit eum.
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longaevus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Non occides.
Thou shalt do no murder.
14 Non moechaberis.
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 quae illius sunt.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinae, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice 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 they said unto 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 unto 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 unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 Dixit praeterea Dominus ad Moysen: Haec dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sim vobis.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
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 thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.
25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eum, polluetur.
And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted 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.
