Exodus 20
1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
4 Non facies tibi sculptile, neque omnem similitudinem quæ est in cælo desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, nec eorum quæ sunt in aquis sub terra.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 Non adorabis ea, neque coles: ego sum Dominus Deus tuus fortis, zelotes, visitans iniquitatem patrum in filios, in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me:
thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;
6 et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments.
7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum. nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
8 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
10 Septimo autem die sabbatum Domini Dei tui est: non facies omne opus in eo, tu, et filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua, iumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.
but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;
11 Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo, idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati, et sanctificavit eum.
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Non occides.
Thou shalt not murder.
14 Non mœchaberis.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Non furtum facies.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui: nec desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
19 dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
And they said unto Moses: 'Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
20 Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before you, that ye sin not.'
21 Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
And the people stood afar off; but Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
And the LORD said unto Moses: Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
Ye shall not make with Me — gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
24 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.
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come unto thee and bless thee.
25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
And if thou make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.
26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
