Mười Điều Răn
5 Môi-se triệu tập toàn dân Y-sơ-ra-ên và nói với họ: Toàn dân Y-sơ-ra-ên nghe đây các quy luật và sắc lệnh tôi công bố hôm nay, để anh chị em học tập và thực hành. 2 CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của chúng ta đã lập giao ước với chúng ta tại Hô-rếp. 3 Ngài không lập giao ước này với tổ tiên chúng ta, nhưng với tất cả chúng ta là những người hôm nay đang sống tại đây. 4 CHÚA đã đối diện phán dạy chúng ta từ trong đám lửa ở trên núi. 5 (Lúc đó tôi đứng giữa CHÚA và anh chị em để truyền lại lời của CHÚA cho anh chị em, vì anh chị em sợ đám lửa không dám lên núi.) Chúa truyền dạy rằng:
6 “Ta là CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi, Đấng đã đem các ngươi ra khỏi Ai-cập, khỏi đất nô lệ.
7 Ngoài Ta ra, các ngươi không được thờ các thần khác.
8 Các ngươi không được chạm khắc cho mình một tượng nào theo hình dạng của bất cứ thứ gì ở trên trời cao, ở trên mặt đất hay ở dưới nước. 9 Các ngươi không được sấp mình thờ phượng các tượng ấy, vì Ta là CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi, Đức Chúa Trời kỵ tà. Ta hình phạt con cháu cho đến thế hệ thứ ba hoặc thứ tư vì tội khước từ Ta của tổ tiên họ, 10 nhưng bầy tỏ tình thương đến ngàn đời cho ai yêu mến Ta và vâng giữ các điều răn Ta.
11 Các ngươi không được dùng tên CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi cách thiếu tôn kính, vì CHÚA không coi người dùng tên Ngài cách thiếu tôn kính là người vô tội.
12 Phải nhớ ngày Sa-bát và giữ làm ngày thánh theo mạng lệnh CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi đã truyền dạy các ngươi. 13 Các ngươi phải làm tất cả công việc của mình trong sáu ngày, 14 nhưng ngày thứ bảy là ngày Sa-bát dành cho CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi. Trong ngày đó các ngươi, con trai con gái, tôi trai tớ gái, bò lừa hay bất kỳ loài vật nào, cả đến khách ở trong thành các ngươi đều không được làm việc gì cả, để cho tôi trai tớ gái các ngươi và chính các ngươi được nghỉ ngơi. 15 Hãy nhớ các ngươi vốn là nô lệ trong xứ Ai-cập và CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi đã đem các ngươi ra khỏi xứ đó bằng quyền năng lớn lao. Vì vậy CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi đã truyền lệnh cho các ngươi phải giữ ngày Sa-bát.
16 Phải hiếu kính cha mẹ, như điều CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi đã truyền dạy, để các ngươi sống lâu và hưởng phước hạnh trong xứ CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời các ngươi sắp ban cho.
17 Không được giết người.
18 Không được tà dâm.
19 Không được trộm cắp.
20 Không được làm chứng dối nghịch người khác.
21 Không được tham muốn vợ người khác. Các ngươi đừng để lòng tham muốn nhà cửa, đất đai, tôi trai tớ gái, bò lừa hay bất kỳ vật gì thuộc về người khác.”
22 Đó là các điều răn CHÚA đã lớn tiếng truyền dạy toàn thể hội chúng Y-sơ-ra-ên, ở trên núi từ trong đám lửa, mây đen kịt và bóng tối dày đặc. Ngài không thêm điều gì khác. Sau đó Ngài ghi các điều răn này trên hai bảng đá và trao cho tôi.
23 Khi anh chị em nghe tiếng nói từ trong bóng tối dày đặc phát ra và thấy núi cháy phừng phừng, các cấp lãnh đạo và các trưởng lão thuộc các bộ tộc đến với tôi 24 và nói: “CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của chúng ta đã bày tỏ vinh quang và uy nghi Ngài và chúng tôi có nghe tiếng phán của Ngài từ trong đám lửa. Hôm nay chúng tôi ý thức được rằng người ta có thể còn sống mặc dù được Đức Chúa Trời phán với mình. 25 Nhưng tại sao chúng tôi lại phải chịu nguy cơ mất mạng? Đám lửa hừng này sẽ thiêu hủy chúng tôi, và nếu chúng tôi cứ tiếp tục nghe tiếng của CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời chúng tôi nữa, chúng tôi sẽ chết.
26 Có ai là người phàm được nghe tiếng của Đức Chúa Trời hằng sống phán từ trong đám lửa, như chúng tôi nghe mà còn sống không? 27 Xin ông đến gần để nghe tất cả những điều CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời chúng tôi dạy rồi truyền lại cho chúng tôi, chúng tôi sẽ nghe và vâng theo.”
28 CHÚA nghe những lời anh chị em nói và Ngài phán dạy tôi: “Ta đã nghe điều dân này nói với con. Những gì họ nói với con đều đúng cả. 29 Ôi, nếu lòng họ cứ kính sợ Ta và luôn vâng giữ mọi điều răn Ta, họ và con cháu họ sẽ được phước mãi mãi!
30 Con cho họ về trại mình đi. 31 Còn con cứ ở đây với Ta để Ta ban cho con tất cả các mạng lệnh, quy luật và sắc lệnh; con sẽ dạy lại họ để họ làm theo khi đã ở trong xứ Ta sắp ban cho họ.”
32 Vậy, anh chị em phải thận trọng thi hành những điều CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của chúng ta đã truyền dạy; đừng làm lệch qua phải hay qua trái, 33 nhưng phải theo đúng đường lối CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của anh chị em đã truyền để được sống, được thịnh vượng và trường thọ trong xứ anh chị em sắp chiếm hữu.
Deuteronomy 5
Common English Bible
Ten Commandments
5 Moses called out to all Israel, saying to them: “Israel! Listen to the regulations and the case laws that I’m recounting in your hearing right now. Learn them and carefully do them. 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Mount Horeb. 3 The Lord didn’t make this covenant with our ancestors but with us—all of us who are here and alive right now. 4 The Lord spoke with you face-to-face on the mountain from the very fire itself. 5 At that time, I was standing between the Lord and you, declaring to you the Lord’s word, because you were terrified of the fire and didn’t go up on the mountain.”
The Lord said:
6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 You must have no other gods before[a] me. 8 Do not make an idol for yourself—no form whatsoever—of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 9 Do not bow down to them or worship them because I, the Lord your God, am a passionate God. I punish children for their parents’ sins—even to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me. 10 But I am loyal and gracious to the thousandth generation[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 Do not use the Lord your God’s name as if it were of no significance; the Lord won’t forgive anyone who uses his name that way.
12 Keep the Sabbath day and treat it as holy, exactly as the Lord your God commanded: 13 Six days you may work and do all your tasks, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. Don’t do any work on it—not you, your sons or daughters, your male or female servants, your oxen or donkeys or any of your animals, or the immigrant who is living among you—so that your male and female servants can rest just like you. 15 Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, but the Lord your God brought you out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. That’s why the Lord your God commands you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honor your father and your mother, exactly as the Lord your God requires, so that your life will be long and so that things will go well for you on the fertile land that the Lord your God is giving you.
17 Do not kill.[c]
18 Do not commit adultery.
19 Do not steal.
20 Do not testify falsely against your neighbor.
21 Do not desire and try to take your neighbor’s wife.
Do not crave your neighbor’s house, field, male or female servant, ox, donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.
22 Those are the words the Lord spoke to your entire assembly with a loud voice while on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick smoke. He added no more. God wrote them on two stone tablets, then gave them to me.
Moses’ intercessory role
23 Now once you heard the voice from the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, you came to me—more specifically, all the chiefs of your tribes and your elders came— 24 and you said: “Look here! The Lord our God has shown us his glory and greatness. We’ve heard his voice come out of the very fire itself. We’ve seen firsthand that God can speak to a human being and they can survive! 25 But why should we die? Surely this massive fire will consume us! If we hear any more of the Lord our God’s voice, we will die. 26 Is there anyone who has heard the living God’s voice speaking out of the very fire itself, like we have, and survived? 27 You go and listen to all that the Lord our God says. Then tell us all that the Lord our God speaks to you. We’ll listen and we’ll do it.”
28 The Lord heard what you said, when you said this to me. The Lord then told me: I heard what the people said when they spoke with you. Everything they suggest is good. 29 If only their minds were like this: always fearing me and keeping all my commandments so that things would go well for them and their children forever! 30 Go and tell them: You may go back to your tents. 31 But you, Moses, must stay here with me. I will tell you all the commandments,[d] the regulations, and the case laws that you must teach the Israelites to do in the land that I am giving them to possess.
32 So you must carefully do exactly what the Lord your God commands you. Don’t deviate even a bit! 33 You must walk the precise path that the Lord your God indicates for you so that you will live, and so that things will go well for you, and so you will extend your time on the land that you will possess.

Deuteronomy 5
King James Version
5 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself 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,
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 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.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
22 These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Deuteronomy 5
New King James Version
The Ten Commandments Reviewed(A)
5 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. 2 (B)The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord (C)did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. 4 (D)The Lord talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire. 5 (E)I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for (F)you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain. He said:
6 (G)‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
7 (H)‘You shall have no other gods [b]before Me.
8 (I)‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 9 you shall not (J)bow[c] down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, [d]visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10 (K)but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and [e]keep My commandments.
11 (L)‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him [f]guiltless who takes His name in vain.
12 (M)‘Observe the Sabbath day, to [g]keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13 (N)Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is the (O)Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 (P)And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there (Q)by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 (R)‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, (S)that your days may be long, and that it may be well with (T)you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
17 (U)‘You shall not murder.
18 (V)‘You shall not commit adultery.
19 (W)‘You shall not steal.
20 (X)‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 (Y)‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’
22 “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And (Z)He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
The People Afraid of God’s Presence(AA)
23 (AB)“So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and (AC)we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he (AD)still lives. 25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; (AE)if we hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, then we shall die. 26 (AF)For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 You go near and hear all that the Lord our God may say, and (AG)tell us all that the Lord our God says to you, and we will hear and do it.’
28 “Then the Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. (AH)They are right in all that they have spoken. 29 (AI)Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and (AJ)always keep all My commandments, (AK)that it might be well with them and with their children forever! 30 Go and say to them, “Return to your tents.” 31 But as for you, stand here by Me, (AL)and I will speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’
32 “Therefore you shall [h]be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; (AM)you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 You shall walk in (AN)all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live (AO)and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
