Exodus 20
1 locutus quoque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos
And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 non habebis deos alienos coram me
Thou shall have no 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 shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on 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 filiis in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me
Thou shall 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, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in milia his qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 non adsumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui adsumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra
Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes 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 thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
10 septimo autem die sabbati Domini Dei tui non facies omne opus 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 to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, 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 Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam ut sis longevus super terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
13 non occides
Thou shall not murder.
14 non moechaberis
Thou shall not commit adultery.
15 non furtum facies
Thou shall not steal.
16 non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
17 non concupisces domum proximi tui nec desiderabis uxorem eius non servum non ancillam non bovem non asinum nec omnia quae illius sunt
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
18 cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampadas et sonitum bucinae montemque fumantem et perterriti ac pavore concussi steterunt procul
And all the people perceived 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 Mosi loquere tu nobis et audiemus non loquatur nobis Dominus ne forte moriamur
And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 et ait Moses 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 has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.
21 stetitque populus de longe Moses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 dixit praeterea Dominus ad Mosen haec dices filiis Israhel vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sum vobis
And Jehovah said to Moses, Thus thou shall say to the sons of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 non facietis mecum 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 to 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 shall make to me, and shall sacrifice on it thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I record my name I will come to thee and I will bless thee.
25 quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus si enim levaveris cultrum tuum super eo polluetur
And if thou make to me an altar of stone, thou shall not build it of hewn stones, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou have polluted it.
26 non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum ne reveletur turpitudo tua
Neither shall thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
