十誡

20 以下是上帝的訓示:

「我是你的上帝耶和華,曾把你領出埃及,使你不再受奴役。

「除我以外,你不可有別的神。

「不可為自己雕刻神像,不可仿照任何飛禽走獸或水族的樣子造神像, 不可跪拜它們,也不可供奉它們,因為我——你的上帝耶和華痛恨不貞,我必追討背棄我之人的罪,從父到子直到三四代。 但那些愛我、遵守我誡命的人,我必以慈愛待他們,直到千代。

「不可妄用你上帝耶和華的名,違者必被耶和華定罪。

「要記住安息日,守為聖日。 你一週可工作六天, 10 但第七天是你的上帝耶和華的安息日,這一天你和兒女、僕婢、牲畜及你那裡的外族人不可做任何工。 11 因為耶和華用六天造了天、地、海和其中的萬物,第七天便休息了,所以耶和華賜福這日,把它定為聖日。

12 「要孝敬父母,以便在你的上帝耶和華賜給你的土地上享長壽。

13 「不可殺人。

14 「不可通姦。

15 「不可偷盜。

16 「不可作偽證陷害人。

17 「不可貪戀別人的房屋,不可貪戀別人的妻子、僕婢、牛驢或其他任何物品。」

18 那時雷電交加,號角嘹亮,山上冒煙,百姓看見此情景,都嚇得渾身顫抖,不敢挨近。 19 他們對摩西說:「求你跟我們說話,我們必聽從。不要讓上帝直接跟我們說話,恐怕我們會喪命!」 20 摩西對百姓說:「不用害怕,上帝降臨是要試驗你們,好讓你們時時敬畏祂,不致犯罪。」

21 百姓都站得遠遠的,摩西獨自走進上帝所在的密雲中。 22 耶和華吩咐摩西對以色列百姓說:「既然你們已經親眼看見我從天上向你們說話, 23 除了敬拜我之外,不可為自己製造金銀神像。 24 你們要為我築一座土壇,把你們的牛羊獻在壇上作燔祭和平安祭。凡是我使自己的名號被尊崇的地方,我會親臨那裡賜福給你們。 25 你們若為我築石壇,不可用鑿刻的石頭,因為用工具鑿刻的石頭會玷污祭壇。 26 不可踩著臺階登我的祭壇,免得露出你們的下體。

20 And the Lord spoke all these words:

I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.

Thou 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.

Thou 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:

And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Thou 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.

Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.

Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.

10 But 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.

11 For 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.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou 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.

18 And 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,

19 Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.

20 And 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.

21 And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.

22 And 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.

23 You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.

24 You 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.

25 And 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.

26 Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto 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 water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to 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;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

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.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 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, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

24 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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
