< 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 the Lord thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 non habebis deos alienos coram me
Thou shalt 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 shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, or any likeness of any thing 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 shalt not bow thyself down to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 et faciens misericordiam in milia his qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea
And showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that 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 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 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 the sabbath in honor of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt not do any work, neither 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 the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord 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; in order that thy days may be prolonged upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 non occides
Thou shalt not kill.
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 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 shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing 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 thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the cornet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they removed trembling, and stood afar off.
19 dicentes Mosi 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 Moses 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 in order to prove you, did God come, and in order that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 stetitque populus de longe Moses 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 Mosen haec dices filiis Israhel vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sum vobis
And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that from heaven I have spoken with you.
23 non facietis mecum deos argenteos nec deos aureos facietis vobis
Ye shall not make any thing with me; gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make unto 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
An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen; in every place where I shall permit my name to be mentioned, 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 tuum super eo polluetur
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; 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 upon my altar, that thy nakedness be not laid open thereon.
