Второзаконие 5
Russian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Десять заповедей
5 Моисей созвал всех израильтян и сказал им: «Израильтяне, слушайте законы и правила, о которых я вам скажу сегодня, выучите эти законы и следуйте им. 2 Господь, Бог наш, заключил соглашение с нами на горе Хорив. 3 Господь заключил это соглашение не с нашими предками, а со всеми нами—теми, кто жив здесь сегодня. 4 У той горы Господь лицом к лицу говорил с вами из огня, 5 но вы испугались огня и не поднялись на гору, и потому я стоял между вами и Господом и говорил вам, что наказал Господь. Вот слова Господние:
6 „Я—Господь, Бог ваш! Я вывел вас из Египта, где вы были рабами.
7 Не поклоняйтесь никаким другим богам, кроме Меня.
8 Не делайте себе ни идолов рукотворных, ни изображений, ни картин того, что высоко в небе, на земле или глубоко под водой. 9 Не поклоняйтесь идолам и не служите им, потому что Я—Господь, Бог ваш. Я не потерплю, чтобы Мой народ поклонялся другим богам[a]. Согрешившие против Меня становятся Моими врагами, и Я накажу их. Я накажу их детей, внуков и даже правнуков. 10 К тем же, кто любит Меня и исполняет Мои заповеди, Я буду милостив. Я буду милостив и к их семьям на тысячи поколений![b]
11 Не упоминайте легкомысленно[c] имя Господнее, так как тот, кто неосторожно упоминает имя Господа—виновен, и Господь не пощадит его.
12 Соблюдайте субботу, особый день, как повелел Господь, Бог ваш. 13 Шесть дней в неделю работайте, 14 седьмой же день—день отдыха в честь Господа, Бога вашего, и потому в этот день никто не должен работать: ни ты сам, ни твои сыновья и дочери, ни живущие в твоём доме чужестранцы, ни твои рабы и рабыни. Даже твои волы и ослы, и другой скот пусть не работают! Пусть твои рабы отдыхают, как отдыхаешь ты сам. 15 Не забывайте, что вы сами были рабами в Египетской стране. Господь, Бог ваш, Своей силой великой вывел вас из Египта и освободил, и потому Господь, Бог ваш, велит вам навсегда сделать субботу святым днём!
16 Почитай отца своего и мать свою, как повелел тебе Господь, Бог твой, и если исполнишь эту заповедь, то будешь долго жить и будет у тебя всё хорошо в той земле, которую даёт тебе Господь, Бог твой.
17 Не убивай.
18 Не прелюбодействуй.
19 Не кради.
20 Не клевещи на других[d].
21 Не желай жены ближнего твоего, не желай ни дома его, ни земли, ни слуг его и служанок, ни волов его, ни ослов, не желай ничего, что принадлежит ближнему твоему!”»
Народ боится Бога
22 Моисей сказал: «Господь дал вам все эти заповеди, когда вы все вместе были на горе. Господь говорил громогласно среди огня, туч и кромешной тьмы и, дав нам все эти заповеди, ничего больше не сказал, а записал Свои слова на двух каменных скрижалях[e] и дал их мне. 23 Когда же вы услышали голос из тьмы и гора заполыхала огнём, то ваши старейшины и другие предводители колен подошли ко мне 24 и сказали: „Господь, Бог наш, явил нам славу Свою и величие Своё, мы слышали, как Он говорил из огня, и теперь знаем, что человек может остаться в живых даже после того, как Бог говорил с ним! 25 Но если мы ещё раз услышим, как Господь говорит с нами, то умрём, потому что этот ужасный огонь уничтожит нас! Мы не хотим умирать! 26 Не бывало ещё, чтобы живой Бог говорил из огня с человеком, как это случилось с нами, и чтобы тот человек остался в живых! 27 Моисей, ты сам подойди к Господу, Богу нашему, выслушай всё, что Он скажет, а потом перескажи нам всё, что Господь скажет тебе. Мы выслушаем тебя и исполним всё, что ты скажешь”».
Господь говорит с Моисеем
28 «Господь услышал, что вы говорите, и сказал мне: „Я слышал, что говорит народ, и всё это правильно. 29 Я всего лишь хотел, чтобы они перестали думать так, как раньше, и стали почитать Меня, исполняя Мои заповеди от всего сердца! И тогда всё будет хорошо и с ними, и с их потомками во веки веков.
30 Пойди, скажи людям, чтобы они разошлись по своим шатрам, 31 а сам встань около Меня, и Я скажу тебе все заповеди, законы и предписания, которым ты должен их научить. Пусть они исполняют всё это в той земле, которую Я отдаю им во владение”.
32 Смотрите же, поступайте, как заповедал вам Господь, и неуклонно следуйте Богу! 33 Поступайте так, как повелел вам Господь, Бог ваш, и тогда вы будете жить, и всё у вас будет хорошо, и ваша жизнь будет долгой на той земле, которая будет вам принадлежать!»

Deuteronomy 5
Darby Translation
5 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances that I speak in your ears this day, and learn them, and keep them to do them.
2 Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Not with our fathers did Jehovah make this covenant, but with us, [even] us, those [who are] here alive all of us this day.
4 Face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire Jehovah spoke with you
5 (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up to the mountain), saying,
6 I am Jehovah thy God who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:
9 thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the 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 idly utter the name of Jehovah thy God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.
12 Keep the sabbath day to hallow it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
14 but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner that is within thy gates; that thy bondman and thy handmaid may rest as well as thou.
15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence with a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to observe the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee in the land which Jehovah 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, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
22 These words Jehovah spoke to all your congregation on the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the obscurity, with a great voice, and he added no more; and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and the mountain burned with fire, that ye came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shewn us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God talks with man, and he lives.
25 And now, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, we shall die.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we, and has lived?
27 Come thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God will say; and speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God will speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people that have spoken to thee: they have well spoken all that they have spoken.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments continually, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever!
30 Go, say unto 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 ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Take heed then to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: turn not aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 In all the way that Jehovah your God hath commanded you shall ye walk, 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
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
The Voice
5 Moses: Listen, Israel, as I proclaim these rules and decrees directly to you today! Learn them, and put them into practice. 2 The Eternal our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 The Eternal didn’t make that covenant just with our parents; He also made it with all of us who are alive here today, because we were included in the covenant when He made it with them. 4 The Eternal tried to talk to you directly at that mountain from inside the fire that rose up into the sky. 5 But you were afraid of the fire and wouldn’t go up the mountain, so I stood between you and the Eternal and told you what He was saying.
Eternal One (speaking to the people of Israel through Moses): 6 I am the Eternal. I am your True God. I led you out of Egypt where you were slaves.
7 You are to worship no other gods before me—My presence is enough.
8 You are not to make idols of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or down in the sea. 9 You are not to bow down in worship of any images of other gods, for I am the Eternal your God. I am jealous for worship, bringing punishment on you and your children to come, even down to your great-grandchildren, to whoever hates Me. 10 Instead, those who obey My commands and truly love Me will receive My loyal love endlessly, even for a thousand generations.
11 You are to not use My name lightly or flippantly or as a curse. I will punish anyone who treats My name as anything less than sacred.
12 You and your family are to honor the Sabbath by setting it aside for the Lord your God. Make sure it remains holy, just as I commanded you. 13 You should do all of your work in six days, and 14 on the seventh—the Sabbath—do not do any work. This goes for you, your sons, your daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen and donkeys and cattle, and foreign travelers staying at your house. My Sabbath rest is for all to enjoy. 15 Remember what it was like when you were a slave in Egypt. Then with overwhelming power I brought you out of there. That’s why I have commanded you to observe the Sabbath each week.
16 Honor your father and mother,[a] as I have commanded you. If you do, you will be blessed with long life and all will go well for you as you live on the ground I am giving you.[b]
17 You must never murder anyone.
18 You must never commit adultery.[c]
19 You must never steal.
20 You must never lie when you’re called to give testimony about another person.[d]
21 Never look at someone else’s wife and wish you could have her. Never look at anything that belongs to someone else and wish it was yours—his house, field, male or female slave, ox, donkey, or anything else he owns.
Moses (summarizing): 22 When all of you were gathered at the mountain, the Eternal told you these things in a loud voice, speaking from inside the fire while dark clouds and mist obscured your view, and He added nothing more. He engraved two copies of them on two stone tablets and gave them to me. 23 Then all of your tribal representatives and elders approached me because you were so afraid when you heard His voice coming from the darkness, as the mountain blazed with fire. 24 They told me what you were saying: “Today the Eternal our God has displayed His glory and power, and we’ve heard His voice from inside that fire. We see that God can speak to mortals, and they can survive! 25 But if we keep listening to the voice of the Eternal, our True God, that huge fire is going to burn us up, and we’ll die! Why should we let that happen? 26 Who on earth has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking from inside a flame, as we just did, and survived? 27 You, go up and listen to everything the Eternal our God is saying, and then come tell us everything He tells you. We’ll listen, and we’ll obey.”
28 The Eternal heard everything you said when you told me this. He responded to me, “I’ve heard what the people told you. They have a good idea! 29 I wish they would always think this way—that they would fear Me and keep all My commands. Then everything would go well for them and their children forever. 30 Tell them they can return to their tents, and I will speak solely through you. 31 But you are to stand here by Me; and I’ll tell you all the commands, rules, and judgments I want you to teach them to follow in the land I’m giving them to live in.”
Moses deals with God directly because the people are simply too terrified of the Lord! These well-known Ten Directives or Commandments teach broad principles for godly life and relationships by presenting specific rules meant to be applied more widely, through thoughtful reflection. There are ten because this is the “human” number in the Bible—people ordinarily have ten fingers and ten toes. But our moral reflection is not supposed to be limited only to the ten areas considered here. The same principles of right relationship illustrated in these areas can be carried into all other areas of human life. The genius of the instruction here is that it’s brief enough to be carved on a stone tablet a person can carry or to be remembered when looking at one’s fingers or toes, but it has implications that are limitless.
Moses: 32 So be very careful to do what the Eternal your God commanded you! Don’t turn to the right or to the left; 33 stay on the path the Eternal your God has marked out for you. That way you won’t die, everything will go well for you, and you’ll live a long time in the land that’s going to be your territory.
