Éxodo 20
1 Dios pronunció todas estas palabras, diciendo:
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
2 “Yo soy Yahvé, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
“I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
3 “No tendréis otros dioses delante de mí.
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
4 “No os haréis ningún ídolo, ni ninguna imagen de lo que está arriba en los cielos, ni abajo en la tierra, ni en las aguas debajo de la tierra:
You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
5 no os inclinaréis ante ellos, ni los serviréis, porque yo, Yahvé, vuestro Dios, soy un Dios celoso, que visita la iniquidad de los padres en los hijos, en la tercera y en la cuarta generación de los que me odian,
You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
6 y que muestra bondad amorosa a miles de los que me aman y guardan mis mandamientos.
But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
7 “No harás mal uso del nombre de Yahvé, tu Dios, porque Yahvé no declarará inocente al que haga mal uso de su nombre.
Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
8 “Acuérdate del día de reposo para santificarlo.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
9 Trabajarás seis días y harás todo tu trabajo,
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
10 pero el séptimo día es sábado para Yahvé vuestro Dios. No harás ningún trabajo en él, ni tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu siervo, ni tu sierva, ni tu ganado, ni tu extranjero que esté dentro de tus puertas;
but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
11 porque en seis días Yahvé hizo los cielos y la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos, y descansó el séptimo día; por eso Yahvé bendijo el día de reposo y lo santificó.
I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
12 “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que tus días se alarguen en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
13 “No matarás.
Do not murder anyone.
14 “No cometerás adulterio.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
15 “No robarás.
Do not steal anything.
16 “No darás falso testimonio contra tu prójimo.
Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
17 “No codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo. No codiciarás la mujer de tu prójimo, ni su siervo, ni su sierva, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni nada que sea de tu prójimo”.
Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
18 Todo el pueblo percibió los truenos, los relámpagos, el sonido de la trompeta y la montaña humeante. Al verlo, el pueblo tembló y se mantuvo a distancia.
When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
19 Dijeron a Moisés: “Habla tú con nosotros, y te escucharemos; pero no dejes que Dios hable con nosotros, no sea que muramos.”
and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
20 Moisés dijo al pueblo: “No tengan miedo, porque Dios ha venido a probarlos, y para que su temor esté ante ustedes, para que no pequen”.
Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
21 El pueblo se mantuvo a distancia, y Moisés se acercó a la espesa oscuridad donde estaba Dios.
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
22 El Señor dijo a Moisés: “Esto es lo que les dirás a los hijos de Israel: ‘Ustedes mismos han visto que yo he hablado con ustedes desde el cielo.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
23 No os haréis dioses de plata ni dioses de oro para estar junto a mí.
24 Haréis un altar de tierra para mí, y sacrificaréis en él vuestros holocaustos y vuestras ofrendas de paz, vuestras ovejas y vuestros ganados. En todo lugar donde registre mi nombre vendré a ti y te bendeciré.
Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
25 Si me haces un altar de piedra, no lo construirás de piedras cortadas; porque si alzas tu herramienta sobre él, lo habrás contaminado.
If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
26 No subirás por las escaleras a mi altar, para que tu desnudez no quede expuesta a él’.
Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
