< Exodus 20 >

1 locutus quoque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos
And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
2 ego sum 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 bondage.
3 non habebis deos alienos coram me
You shall have no other gods beside 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
You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters 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
You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
6 et faciens misericordiam in milia his qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea
and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that 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
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that 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 you shall labor, and shall perform all your 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 on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.
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 the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
12 honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam ut sis longevus super terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi
Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.
13 non occides
You shall not commit adultery.
14 non moechaberis
You shall not steal.
15 non furtum facies
You shall not kill.
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 eius non servum non ancillam non bovem non asinum nec omnia quae illius sunt
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.
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 thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
19 dicentes Mosi loquere tu nobis et audiemus non loquatur nobis Dominus ne forte moriamur
and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to 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 says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.
21 stetitque populus de longe Moses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus
And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.
22 dixit praeterea Dominus ad Mosen haec dices filiis Israhel vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sum vobis
And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 non facietis mecum deos argenteos nec deos aureos facietis vobis
You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.
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 shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.
25 quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus si enim levaveris cultrum tuum super eo polluetur
And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.
26 non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum ne reveletur turpitudo tua
You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
