Exodus 20

1 And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

Bog je spregovoril vse te besede, rekoč:

2 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

»Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki sem te privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods beside me.

Pred menoj ne boš imel nobenih drugih bogov.

4 Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

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.

5 Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

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,

6 and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.

izkazujem pa usmiljenje tisočem tistih, ki me ljubijo in varujejo moje zapovedi.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

Ne boš v prazno vzel imena Gospoda, svojega Boga; kajti Gospod ne bo držal brez krivde tistega, ki v prazno jemlje njegovo ime.

8 Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.

Spominjaj se šabatnega dne, da ga ohraniš svetega.

9 Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy work.

Šest dni se boš trudil in opravljal vse svoje delo,

10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee.

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,

11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

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.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.

Spoštuj svojega očeta in svojo mater, da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko dolgi na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog.

13 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Ne boš ubil.

14 Thou shalt not steal.

Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva.

15 Thou shalt not kill.

Ne boš kradel.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Ne boš prinašal krivega pričevanja zoper svojega bližnjega.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour.

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!«

18 And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

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.

19 and said to Moses, Speak thou to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.

Mojzesu pa so rekli: »Ti govori z nami, mi pa bomo poslušali, toda Bog naj z nami ne govori, da ne bi umrli.«

20 And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not.

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.«

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

Ljudstvo je stalo daleč stran, Mojzes pa se je približal gosti temi, kjer je bil Bog.

22 And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›Videli ste, da sem z vami govoril iz nebes.

23 Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make to yourselves.

Poleg mene ne boste delali bogov iz srebra niti si ne boste delali bogov iz zlata.

24 Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee.

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.

25 And if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them hewn [stones]; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are defiled.

Če mi hočeš narediti oltar iz kamna, ga ne boš zgradil iz klesanega kamna, kajti če svoje orodje dvigneš nanj, si ga oskrunil.

26 Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.

Niti k mojemu oltarju ne boš šel gor po stopnicah, da na njih ne bo odkrita tvoja nagota.
