出埃及记 20
1 神吩咐这一切的话说：
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “我是耶和华—你的 神，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
"I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “除了我以外，你不可有别的神。
Do not have other gods before me.
4 “不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形象仿佛上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。
"Do 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:
5 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因为我耶和华—你的 神是忌邪的 神。恨我的，我必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；
you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
6 爱我、守我诫命的，我必向他们发慈爱，直到千代。
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “不可妄称耶和华—你 神的名；因为妄称耶和华名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。
"Do not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 “当记念安息日，守为圣日。
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 六日要劳碌做你一切的工，
Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
10 但第七日是向耶和华—你 神当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜，并你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可做；
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must 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;
11 因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海，和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。
for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
12 “当孝敬父母，使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐你的地上得以长久。
"Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.
13 “不可杀人。
"Do not commit adultery.
14 “不可奸淫。
"Do not murder.
15 “不可偷盗。
"Do not steal.
16 “不可作假见证陷害人。
"Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 “不可贪恋人的房屋；也不可贪恋人的妻子、仆婢、牛驴，并他一切所有的。”
"Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do 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."
18 众百姓见雷轰、闪电、角声、山上冒烟，就都发颤，远远地站立，
And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
19 对摩西说：“求你和我们说话，我们必听；不要 神和我们说话，恐怕我们死亡。”
They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
20 摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕；因为 神降临是要试验你们，叫你们时常敬畏他，不致犯罪。”
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
21 于是百姓远远地站立；摩西就挨近 神所在的幽暗之中。
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 耶和华对摩西说：“你要向以色列人这样说：‘你们自己看见我从天上和你们说话了。
Jehovah said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 你们不可做什么神像与我相配，不可为自己做金银的神像。
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
24 你要为我筑土坛，在上面以牛羊献为燔祭和平安祭。凡记下我名的地方，我必到那里赐福给你。
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.
25 你若为我筑一座石坛，不可用凿成的石头，因你在上头一动家具，就把坛污秽了。
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.
26 你上我的坛，不可用台阶，免得露出你的下体来。’”
Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
