出エジプト記 20

1 神この一切の言を宣て言たまはく

And the Lord spoke all these words:

2 我は汝の神ヱホバ汝をエジプトの地その奴隸たる家より導き出せし者なり

“I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.

3 汝我面の前に我の外何物をも神とすべからず

You shall not have strange gods before me.

4 汝自己のために何の偶像をも彫むべからず又上は天にある者下は地にある者ならびに地の下の水の中にある者の何の形状をも作るべからず

You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which are in the waters under the earth.

5 之を拝むべからずこれに事ふべからず我ヱホバ汝の神は嫉む神なれば我を惡む者にむかひては父の罪を子にむくいて三四代におよぼし

You shall not adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

6 我を愛しわが誡命を守る者には恩惠をほどこして千代にいたるなり

and showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my precepts.

7 汝の神ヱホバの名を妄に口にあぐべからずヱホバはおのれの名を妄に口にあぐる者を罰せではおかざるべし

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.

8 安息日を憶えてこれを聖潔すべし

Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.

9 六日の間勞きて汝の一切の業を爲べし

For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.

10 七日は汝の神ヱホバの安息なれば何の業務をも爲べからず汝も汝の息子息女も汝の僕婢も汝の家畜も汝の門の中にをる他國の人も然り

But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates.

11 其はヱホバ六日の中に天と地と海と其等の中の一切の物を作りて第七日に息みたればなり是をもてヱホバ安息日を祝ひて聖日としたまふ

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified it.

12 汝の父母を敬へ是は汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ所の地に汝の生命の長からんためなり

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

13 汝殺すなかれ

You shall not murder.

14 汝姦淫するなかれ

You shall not commit adultery.

15 汝盗むなかれ

You shall not steal.

16 汝その隣人に對して虚妄の證據をたつるなかれ

You shall not speak false testimony against your neighbor.

17 汝その隣人の家を貧るなかれ又汝の鄰人の妻およびその僕婢牛驢馬ならびに凡て汝の隣人の所有を貧るなかれ

You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”

18 民みな雷と電と喇叭の音と山の煙るとを見たり民これを見て懼れをののきて遠く立ち

Then all the people considered the voices, and the lights, and the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain. And being terrified and struck with fear, they stood at a distance,

19 モーセにいひけるは汝われらに語れ我等聽ん唯神の我らに語りたまふことあらざらしめよ恐くは我等死ん

saying to Moses: “Speak to us, and we will listen. Let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we may die.”

20 モーセ民に言けるは畏るるなかれ神汝らを試みんため又その畏怖を汝らの面の前におきて汝らに罪を犯さざらしめんために臨みたまへるなり

And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.”

21 是において民は遠くに立ちしがモーセは神の在すところの濃雲に進みいたる

And the people stood far away. But Moses approached toward the mist, in which was God.

22 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝イスラエルの子孫に斯いふべし汝等は天よりわが汝等に語ふを見たり

Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: “This you shall say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23 汝等何をも我にならべて造るべからず銀の神をも金の神をも汝等のために造るべからず

You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.

24 汝土の壇を我に築きてその上に汝の燔祭と酬恩祭汝の羊と牛をそなふべし我は凡てわが名を憶えしむる處にて汝に臨みて汝を祝まん

You shall make an altar from the earth for me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace-offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be. I will come to you, and I will bless you.

25 汝もし石の壇を我につくるならば琢石をもてこれを築くべからず其は汝もし鑿をこれに當なば之を汚すべければなり

And if you make an altar of stone for me, you shall not build it from cut stones; for if you lift up a tool over it, it will be defiled.

26 汝階よりわが壇に升るべからず是汝の恥る處のその上に露るることなからんためなり

You shall not ascend by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be revealed.”
