Exodus 20
1 God spoke all the following words:
locutus quoque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos
2 “I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the land of your slavery.
ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
3 You must not have any other gods except me.
non habebis deos alienos coram me
4 You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
non facies tibi sculptile neque omnem similitudinem quae est in caelo desuper et quae in terra deorsum nec eorum quae sunt in aquis sub terra
5 You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
non adorabis ea neque coles ego sum Dominus Deus tuus fortis zelotes visitans iniquitatem patrum in filiis in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me
6 but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
et faciens misericordiam in milia his qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea
7 You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
non adsumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui adsumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra
8 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices
9 You have six days to work and earn your living,
sex diebus operaberis et facies omnia opera tua
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
septimo autem die sabbati Domini Dei tui non facies omne opus tu et filius tuus et filia tua servus tuus et ancilla tua iumentum tuum et advena qui est intra portas tuas
11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
sex enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram et mare et omnia quae in eis sunt et requievit in die septimo idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati et sanctificavit eum
12 Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam ut sis longevus super terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi
13 You must not murder.
non occides
14 You must not commit adultery.
non moechaberis
15 You must not steal.
non furtum facies
16 You must not give false evidence against others.
non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium
17 You must not desire to have anyone else's house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them.”
non concupisces domum proximi tui nec desiderabis uxorem eius non servum non ancillam non bovem non asinum nec omnia quae illius sunt
18 When all the people heard the thunder and the sound of the trumpet, and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off.
cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampadas et sonitum bucinae montemque fumantem et perterriti ac pavore concussi steterunt procul
19 “You speak to us, and we'll listen,” they said to Moses. “But don't let God speak to us, or we'll die.”
dicentes Mosi loquere tu nobis et audiemus non loquatur nobis Dominus ne forte moriamur
20 Moses told them, “Do not be afraid, for God has only come to test you. He wants you to be in awe of him so that you don't sin.”
et ait Moses ad populum nolite timere ut enim probaret vos venit Deus et ut terror illius esset in vobis et non peccaretis
21 The people stood a long way off as Moses went over to the thick, dark cloud where God was.
stetitque populus de longe Moses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus
22 The Lord told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves that I spoke with you from heaven.
dixit praeterea Dominus ad Mosen haec dices filiis Israhel vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sum vobis
23 You must not make any idols of silver or gold to worship in addition to me.
non facietis mecum deos argenteos nec deos aureos facietis vobis
24 Make me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I decide to be worshiped, I will come to you and bless you.
altare de terra facietis mihi et offeretis super eo holocausta et pacifica vestra oves vestras et boves in omni loco in quo memoria fuerit nominis mei veniam ad te et benedicam tibi
25 Now if you make an altar out of stones for me, you must not build it with cut stones, because if you use a chisel to cut the stone, you make it unholy.
quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus si enim levaveris cultrum tuum super eo polluetur
26 Also, you must not go up to my altar using steps, so your private parts are not seen.’”
non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum ne reveletur turpitudo tua
