Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And the Lord spoke all these words:
1Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
2I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
2Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
3Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
3Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
4Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
4Non facies tibi sculptile, neque omnem similitudinem quæ est in cælo desuper, et quæ in terra deorsum, nec eorum quæ sunt in aquis sub terra.
5Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
5Non 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:
6And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
6et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.
7Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum: nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
8Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
8Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
9Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
10But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
10Septimo 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, jumentum tuum, et advena qui est intra portas tuas.
11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
11Sex 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.
12Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.
12Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
13Thou shalt not kill.
13Non occides.
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.
14Non mœchaberis.
15Thou shalt not steal.
15Non furtum facies.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
16Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
17Non concupisces domum proximi tui, nec desiderabis uxorem ejus, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
18And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,
18Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
19Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.
19dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
20And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.
20Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
21And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.
21Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
22And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
22Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israël: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
23You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.
23Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
24You shall make an altar of earth unto 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 thee, and will bless thee.
24Altare 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.
25And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.
25Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
26Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.
26Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
