اَلْخُرُوجُ 20

١ 1 ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ قَائِلًا:

God spoke all these words, saying,

٢ 2 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

“I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.

٣ 3 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

“You shall have no other elohim ·deities, judges· before me.

٤ 4 لَا تَصْنَعْ لَكَ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا، وَلَا صُورَةً مَا مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

“You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

٥ 5 لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلَا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ ذُنُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ،

you shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· yourself down to them, nor abad ·serve· them, for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

٦ 6 وَأَصْنَعُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَايَ.

and showing cheshed ·loving-kindness· to thousands of those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· me and keep my mitzvot ·instructions·.

٧ 7 لَا تَنْطِقْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِٱسْمِهِ بَاطِلًا.

“You shall not take the name of Adonai your God in vain, for Adonai will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

٨ 8 اُذْكُرْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

٩ 9 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَصْنَعُ جَمِيعَ عَمَلِكَ،

You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

١٠ 10 وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَصْنَعْ عَمَلًا مَّا أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَبَهِيمَتُكَ وَنَزِيلُكَ ٱلَّذِي دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ.

but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Adonai your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

١١ 11 لِأَنْ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ وَقَدَّسَهُ.

for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Adonai blessed the Sabbath ·To cease· day, and made it holy.

١٢ 12 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

“Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land which Adonai your God gives you.

١٣ 13 لَا تَقْتُلْ.

“You shall not murder.

١٤ 14 لَا تَزْنِ.

“You shall not commit adultery.

١٥ 15 لَا تَسْرِقْ.

“You shall not steal.

١٦ 16 لَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى قَرِيبِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ.

“You shall not give false witness against your neighbor.

١٧ 17 لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ قَرِيبِكَ. لَا تَشْتَهِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِكَ، وَلَا عَبْدَهُ، وَلَا أَمَتَهُ، وَلَا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلَا حِمَارَهُ، وَلَا شَيْئًا مِمَّا لِقَرِيبِكَ».

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

١٨ 18 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرَوْنَ ٱلرُّعُودَ وَٱلْبُرُوقَ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، وَٱلْجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱرْتَعَدُوا وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

All the people perceived the thunder, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

١٩ 19 وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «تَكَلَّمْ أَنْتَ مَعَنَا فَنَسْمَعَ. وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمْ مَعَنَا ٱللهُ لِئَلَّا نَمُوتَ».

They said to Moses [Drawn out], “Speak with us yourself, and we will sh'ma ·hear obey·; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”

٢٠ 20 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِكَيْ يَمْتَحِنَكُمْ، وَلِكَيْ تَكُونَ مَخَافَتُهُ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُخْطِئُوا».

Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

٢١ 21 فَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلضَّبَابِ حَيْثُ كَانَ ٱللهُ.

The people stayed at a distance, and Moses [Drawn out] came near to the thick darkness where God was.

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَكَلَّمْتُ مَعَكُمْ.

Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails]: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

٢٣ 23 لَا تَصْنَعُوا مَعِي آلِهَةَ فِضَّةٍ، وَلَا تَصْنَعُوا لَكُمْ آلِهَةَ ذَهَبٍ.

You shall most certainly not make alongside of me deities of silver, or deities of gold for yourselves.

٢٤ 24 مَذْبَحًا مِنْ تُرَابٍ تَصْنَعُ لِي وَتَذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَتِكَ، غَنَمَكَ وَبَقَرَكَ. فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِي ذِكْرًا آتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ.

You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

٢٥ 25 وَإِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي مَذْبَحًا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فَلَا تَبْنِهِ مِنْهَا مَنْحُوتَةً. إِذَا رَفَعْتَ عَلَيْهَا إِزْمِيلَكَ تُدَنِّسُهَا.

If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

٢٦ 26 وَلَا تَصْعَدْ بِدَرَجٍ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي كَيْلَا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ.

You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
