Éxodo 20
1 Y habló Dios todas estas palabras, diciendo:
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
2 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te saqué de la tierra de Egipto, de casa de siervos.
“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 tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí.
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
4 No te harás imagen, ni ninguna semejanza de cosa que esté arriba en el cielo, 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 te inclinarás a ellas, ni las honrarás: porque yo soy Jehová tu Dios, fuerte, zeloso, que visito la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos, sobre los terceros y sobre los cuartos, a los que me aborrecen;
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 hago misericordia en millares a 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 tomarás el nombre de Jehová tu Dios en vano; porque no dará por inocente Jehová al que tomare su nombre en vano.
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 Acordarte has del día del sábado, para santificarlo.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
9 Seis días trabajarás, y harás toda tu obra;
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
10 Mas el séptimo día será sábado a Jehová tu Dios: no hagas obra ninguna, tú; ni tu hijo, ni tu hija; ni tu siervo, ni tu criada; ni tu bestia, ni tu extranjero, que está 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 hizo Jehová los cielos y la tierra, la mar y todas las cosas que en ellos hay; y en el día séptimo reposó: por tanto Jehová bendijo al día del sábado, 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, porque tus días se alarguen sobre la tierra, que Jehová 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 hurtarás.
Do not steal anything.
16 No hablarás contra tu prójimo falso testimonio.
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 criada, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni cosa alguna 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 oía las voces, y el sonido de la bocina y veía las llamas, y el monte que humeaba: Y viéndolo el pueblo temblaron, y pusiéronse de lejos,
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 Y dijeron a Moisés: Habla tú con nosotros, que nosotros oiremos: y no hable Dios con nosotros, porque no 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 Entonces Moisés respondió al pueblo: No temáis; que por tentaros vino Dios, y porque su temor esté en vuestra presencia, para que no pequéis.
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 Entonces el pueblo se puso de lejos, y Moisés se llegó a la oscuridad, en la cual estaba Dios.
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
22 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: Vosotros habéis visto, que he hablado desde el cielo con vosotros.
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 hagáis conmigo dioses de plata, ni dioses de oro os haréis.
24 Altar de tierra harás para mí, y sacrificarás sobre él tus holocaustos, y tus pacíficos, tus ovejas, y tus vacas: en cualquier lugar donde yo hiciere que esté la memoria de 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 Y si me hicieres altar de piedras, no las labres de cantería; porque si alzares tu pico sobre él, tú lo ensuciarás.
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 Y no subirás por gradas a mi altar, porque tu desnudez no sea descubierta junto 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.’”
