Berean Standard Bible
1Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos:
1And God spoke all these words:
2Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
2“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
3You shall have no other gods before Me.
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.
4You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
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:
5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6et faciens misericordiam in millia his qui diligunt me, et custodiunt præcepta mea.
6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum: nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
7You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
9Sex diebus operaberis, et facies omnia opera tua.
9Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
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.
10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates.
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.
11For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
12Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
12Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
13Non occides.
13You shall not murder.
14Non mœchaberis.
14You shall not commit adultery.
15Non furtum facies.
15You shall not steal.
16Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17Non concupisces domum proximi tui, nec desiderabis uxorem ejus, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum, nec omnia quæ illius sunt.
17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
18Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades, et sonitum buccinæ, montemque fumantem: et perterriti ac pavore concussi, steterunt procul,
18When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.
19dicentes Moysi: Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus: non loquatur nobis Dominus, ne forte moriamur.
19“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
20Et ait Moyses ad populum: Nolite timere: ut enim probaret vos venit Deus, et ut terror illius esset in vobis, et non peccaretis.
20“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”
21Stetitque populus de longe. Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus.
21And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22Dixit præterea Dominus ad Moysen: Hæc dices filiis Israël: Vos vidistis quod de cælo locutus sim vobis.
22Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23Non facietis deos argenteos, nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
23You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.
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.
24You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.
25Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non ædificabis illud de sectis lapidibus: si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
25Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.
26Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.
26And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
