2 Mojzes 20
1 Bog je spregovoril vse te besede, rekoč:
And God spake all these words, saying,
2 »Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki sem te privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti.
I am Yhwh thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Pred menoj ne boš imel nobenih drugih bogov.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Sebi ne boš naredil nobene rezane podobe ali kakršnekoli podobnosti čemurkoli, kar je zgoraj na nebu ali kar je spodaj na zemlji ali kar je v vodi pod zemljo.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Ne boš se jim priklanjal niti jim ne boš služil, kajti jaz, Gospod, tvoj Bog, sem ljubosumen Bog, ki obiskujem krivičnost očetov na otrocih do tretjega in četrtega rodu tistih, ki me sovražijo,
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yhwh 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 izkazujem pa usmiljenje tisočem tistih, ki me ljubijo in varujejo moje zapovedi.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Ne boš v prazno vzel imena Gospoda, svojega Boga; kajti Gospod ne bo držal brez krivde tistega, ki v prazno jemlje njegovo ime.
Thou shalt not take the name of Yhwh thy God in vain; for Yhwh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Spominjaj se šabatnega dne, da ga ohraniš svetega.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Šest dni se boš trudil in opravljal vse svoje delo,
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 toda sedmi dan je šabat Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu. Na [ta dan] ne boš opravljal nobenega dela, ne ti, niti tvoj sin, niti tvoja hči, [niti] tvoj sluga, niti tvoja dekla, niti tvoja živina, niti tvoj tujec, ki je znotraj tvojih velikih vrat,
But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yhwh 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 kajti v šestih dneh je Gospod naredil nebo in zemljo, morje in vse, kar je v njih, sedmi dan pa je počival. Zato je Gospod blagoslovil šabatni dan in ga posvetil.
For in six days Yhwh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yhwh blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Spoštuj svojega očeta in svojo mater, da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko dolgi na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee.
13 Ne boš ubil.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Ne boš kradel.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Ne boš prinašal krivega pričevanja zoper svojega bližnjega.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Ne boš hlepel [po] hiši svojega bližnjega, ne boš hlepel [po] ženi svojega bližnjega, niti [po] njegovem slugi, niti [po] njegovi dekli, niti [po] njegovem volu, niti [po] njegovem oslu, niti [po] katerikoli stvari, ki je od tvojega bližnjega!«
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 donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
18 In vse ljudstvo je videlo grmenja in bliske, zvok šofarja in kadečo goro. Ko je ljudstvo to videlo, so se odstranili in stali daleč stran.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 Mojzesu pa so rekli: »Ti govori z nami, mi pa bomo poslušali, toda Bog naj z nami ne govori, da ne bi umrli.«
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 Mojzes je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se, kajti Bog je prišel, da vas preizkusi in da je njegov strah lahko pred vašimi obrazi, da ne grešite.«
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 Ljudstvo je stalo daleč stran, Mojzes pa se je približal gosti temi, kjer je bil Bog.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›Videli ste, da sem z vami govoril iz nebes.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Poleg mene ne boste delali bogov iz srebra niti si ne boste delali bogov iz zlata.
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24 Naredil mi boš oltar iz zemlje in na njem boš žrtvoval svoje žgalne daritve in svoje mirovne daritve, svoje ovce in svoje vole. Na vseh krajih, kjer zapišem svoje ime, bom prišel k tebi in te blagoslovil.
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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25 Če mi hočeš narediti oltar iz kamna, ga ne boš zgradil iz klesanega kamna, kajti če svoje orodje dvigneš nanj, si ga oskrunil.
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 Niti k mojemu oltarju ne boš šel gor po stopnicah, da na njih ne bo odkrita tvoja nagota.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
