Deuteronomii 5
1 Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israëlem, et dixit ad eum: Audi, Israël, cæremonias atque judicia, quæ ego loquor in auribus vestris hodie: discite ea, et opere complete.
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.
2 Dominus Deus noster pepigit nobiscum fœdus in Horeb.
Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Non cum patribus nostris iniit pactum, sed nobiscum qui in præsentiarum sumus, et vivimus.
Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 Facie ad faciem locutus est nobis in monte de medio ignis.
Jehovah spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire,
5 Ego sequester et medius fui inter Dominum et vos in tempore illo, ut annuntiarem vobis verba ejus: timuistis enim ignem, et non ascendistis in montem. Et ait:
(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the words of Jehovah: for you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mountain; ) saying,
6 Ego Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
"I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Non habebis deos alienos in conspectu meo.
"Do not have no other gods before me.
8 Non facies tibi sculptile, nec similitudinem omnium, quæ in cælo sunt desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, et quæ versantur in aquis sub terra.
"Do not make an engraved image for yourself, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on the earth below, or that is in the waters below the earth.
9 Non adorabis ea, et non coles. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus: Deus æmulator, reddens iniquitatem patrum super filios in tertiam et quartam generationem his qui oderunt me:
You must not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation] of those who hate me;
10 et faciens misericordiam in multa millia diligentibus me, et custodientibus præcepta mea.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 Non usurpabis nomen Domini Dei tui frustra: quia non erit impunitus qui super re vana nomen ejus assumpserit.
"Do not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain: for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
12 Observa diem sabbati, ut sanctifices eum, sicut præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus.
"Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah your God commanded you.
13 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
Six days you may labor, and do all your work;
14 Septimus dies sabbati est, id est, requies Domini Dei tui. Non facies in eo quidquam operis tu, et filius tuus, et filia, servus et ancilla, et bos, et asinus, et omne jumentum tuum, et peregrinus qui est intra portas tuas: ut requiescat servus tuus, et ancilla tua, sicut et tu.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah your God. On it you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, your ox, nor your donkey, nor your livestock, your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15 Memento quod et ipse servieris in Ægypto, et eduxerit te inde Dominus Deus tuus in manu forti, et brachio extento. Idcirco præcepit tibi ut observares diem sabbati.
Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Jehovah your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honora patrem tuum et matrem, sicut præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus, ut longo vivas tempore, et bene sit tibi in terra, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi.
"Honor your father and your mother, as Jehovah your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.
17 Non occides,
"Do not commit adultery.
18 neque mœchaberis,
"Do not murder.
19 furtumque non facies:
"Do not steal.
20 nec loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
"Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Non concupisces uxorem proximi tui: non domum, non agrum, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, et universa quæ illius sunt.
"Do not covet your neighbor's wife. Do not crave your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."
22 Hæc verba locutus est Dominus ad omnem multitudinem vestram in monte de medio ignis et nubis, et caliginis, voce magna, nihil addens amplius: et scripsit ea in duabus tabulis lapideis, quas tradidit mihi.
These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.
23 Vos autem postquam audistis vocem de medio tenebrarum, et montem ardere vidistis, accessistis ad me omnes principes tribuum et majores natu, atque dixistis:
It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 Ecce ostendit nobis Dominus Deus noster majestatem et magnitudinem suam: vocem ejus audivimus de medio ignis, et probavimus hodie, quod loquente Deo cum homine, vixerit homo.
and you said, "Look, Jehovah our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 Cur ergo moriemur, et devorabit nos ignis hic maximus? si enim audierimus ultra vocem Domini Dei nostri, moriemur.
Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.
26 Quid est omnis caro, ut audiat vocem Dei viventis, qui de medio ignis loquitur sicut nos audivimus, et possit vivere?
For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Tu magis accede: et audi cuncta quæ dixerit Dominus Deus noster tibi: loquerisque ad nos, et nos audientes faciemus ea.
Go near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say to you, and tell us all that Jehovah our God speaks to you; and we will hear it, and do it."
28 Quod cum audisset Dominus, ait ad me: Audivi vocem verborum populi hujus quæ locuti sunt tibi: bene omnia sunt locuti.
Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Jehovah said to me, "I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 Quis det talem eos habere mentem, ut timeant me, et custodiant universa mandata mea in omni tempore, ut bene sit eis et filiis eorum in sempiternum?
Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever.
30 Vade et dic eis: Revertimini in tentoria vestra.
"Go tell them, Return to your tents.
31 Tu vero hic sta mecum, et loquar tibi omnia mandata mea, et cæremonias atque judicia: quæ docebis eos, ut faciant ea in terra, quam dabo illis in possessionem.
But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it."
32 Custodite igitur et facite quæ præcepit Dominus Deus vobis: non declinabitis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram:
You shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 sed per viam, quam præcepit Dominus Deus vester, ambulabitis, ut vivatis, et bene sit vobis, et protelentur dies in terra possessionis vestræ.
You shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
