出埃及 20
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
颁布十诫(A)
20 神吩咐以下这一切话，说：
2 “我是耶和华你的 神，曾经把你从埃及地，从为奴之家领出来。
3 “除我以外，你不可有别的神。
4 “不可为自己做偶像，也不可做天上、地下和地底下水中各物的形象。 5 不可跪拜它们，也不可事奉它们，因为我耶和华你们的 神是忌邪的 神；恨恶我的，我必追讨他们的罪，从父亲到儿子，直到三四代。 6 爱我和遵守我诫命的，我必向他们施慈爱，直到千代。
7 “不可妄称耶和华你 神的名，因为妄称耶和华的名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。
8 “要记念安息日，守为圣日。 9 六日要劳碌，作你一切工作。 10 但第七日是耶和华你的 神的安息日；这一日，你和你的儿女，你的仆婢和牲畜，以及住在你城里的寄居者，不可作任何的工。 11 因为耶和华在六日之内造天、地、海和其中的万物，第七日就歇息了；所以耶和华赐福安息日，定为圣日。
12 “要孝敬父母，使你在耶和华你的 神赐给你的地上得享长寿。
13 “不可杀人。
14 “不可奸淫。
15 “不可偷盗。
16 “不可作假证供陷害你的邻舍。
17 “不可贪爱你邻舍的房屋；不可贪爱你邻舍的妻子、仆婢、牛驴和他的任何东西。”
18 全体人民都看见打雷、闪电、角声和冒着烟的山；人民看见了，就颤抖，远远地站着。 19 他们对摩西说：“求你和我们说话吧，我们必定听你的话，不可让 神和我们说话，恐怕我们死亡。” 20 摩西回答人民：“不要惧怕，因为 神降临是要试验你们，叫你们常常敬畏他，不至犯罪。” 21 于是，人民远远地站着，摩西却走近 神所在的幽暗之中。
筑坛的条例
22 耶和华对摩西说：“你要对以色列人这样说：‘你们亲自看见我从天上和你们说话了。 23 你们不可做银的神像和金的神像和我相比，你们决不可为自己做这些神像。 24 你要为我筑一座土坛，把你的燔祭、平安祭和牛羊献在坛上；在我使人记念我名的地方，我都必到你那里去赐福你。 25 你若是为我筑一座石坛，不可用凿过的石头来建筑，因为你在石头上一动用工具，就把坛污秽了。 26 你上我的坛，不可用梯级，免得在坛上露出你的下体来。’”
Exodus 20
The Message
20 1-2 God spoke all these words:
I am God, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of a life of slavery.
3 No other gods, only me.
4-6 No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow down to them and don’t serve them because I am God, your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.
7 No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won’t put up with the irreverent use of his name.
8-11 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do everything you need to do. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don’t do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.
12 Honor your father and mother so that you’ll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.
13 No murder.
14 No adultery.
15 No stealing.
16 No lies about your neighbor.
17 No lusting after your neighbor’s house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don’t set your heart on anything that is your neighbor’s.

18-19 All the people, experiencing the thunder and lightning, the trumpet blast and the smoking mountain, were afraid—they pulled back and stood at a distance. They said to Moses, “You speak to us and we’ll listen, but don’t have God speak to us or we’ll die.”
20 Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won’t sin.”
21 The people kept their distance while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
22-26 God said to Moses, “Give this Message to the People of Israel: ‘You’ve experienced firsthand how I spoke with you from Heaven. Don’t make gods of silver and gods of gold and then set them alongside me. Make me an earthen Altar. Sacrifice your Whole-Burnt-Offerings, your Peace-Offerings, your sheep, and your cattle on it. Every place where I cause my name to be honored in your worship, I’ll be there myself and bless you. If you use stones to make my Altar, don’t use dressed stones. If you use a chisel on the stones you’ll profane the Altar. Don’t use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness.’”
