頒布十誡(A)

20  神吩咐以下這一切話,說:

“我是耶和華你的 神,曾經把你從埃及地,從為奴之家領出來。

“除我以外,你不可有別的神。

“不可為自己做偶像,也不可做天上、地下和地底下水中各物的形象。 不可跪拜它們,也不可事奉它們,因為我耶和華你們的 神是忌邪的 神;恨惡我的,我必追討他們的罪,從父親到兒子,直到三四代。 愛我和遵守我誡命的,我必向他們施慈愛,直到千代。

“不可妄稱耶和華你 神的名,因為妄稱耶和華的名的,耶和華必不以他為無罪。

“要記念安息日,守為聖日。 六日要勞碌,作你一切工作。 10 但第七日是耶和華你的 神的安息日;這一日,你和你的兒女,你的僕婢和牲畜,以及住在你城裡的寄居者,不可作任何的工。 11 因為耶和華在六日之內造天、地、海和其中的萬物,第七日就歇息了;所以耶和華賜福安息日,定為聖日。

12 “要孝敬父母,使你在耶和華你的 神賜給你的地上得享長壽。

13 “不可殺人。

14 “不可姦淫。

15 “不可偷盜。

16 “不可作假證供陷害你的鄰舍。

17 “不可貪愛你鄰舍的房屋;不可貪愛你鄰舍的妻子、僕婢、牛驢和他的任何東西。”

18 全體人民都看見打雷、閃電、角聲和冒著煙的山;人民看見了,就顫抖,遠遠地站著。 19 他們對摩西說:“求你和我們說話吧,我們必定聽你的話,不可讓 神和我們說話,恐怕我們死亡。” 20 摩西回答人民:“不要懼怕,因為 神降臨是要試驗你們,叫你們常常敬畏他,不至犯罪。” 21 於是,人民遠遠地站著,摩西卻走近 神所在的幽暗之中。

築壇的條例

22 耶和華對摩西說:“你要對以色列人這樣說:‘你們親自看見我從天上和你們說話了。 23 你們不可做銀的神像和金的神像和我相比,你們決不可為自己做這些神像。 24 你要為我築一座土壇,把你的燔祭、平安祭和牛羊獻在壇上;在我使人記念我名的地方,我都必到你那裡去賜福你。 25 你若是為我築一座石壇,不可用鑿過的石頭來建築,因為你在石頭上一動用工具,就把壇污穢了。 26 你上我的壇,不可用梯級,免得在壇上露出你的下體來。’”

The Ten Commandments(A)

20 Then Elohim spoke all these words:

“I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.

“Never have any other god. Never make your own carved idols or statues that represent any creature in the sky, on the earth, or in the water. Never worship them or serve them, because I, Yahweh your Elohim, am El Kanna. I punish children for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. But I show mercy to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments.

“Never use the name of Yahweh your Elohim carelessly. Yahweh will make sure that anyone who carelessly uses his name will be punished.

“Remember the day of worship by observing it as a holy day. You have six days to do all your work. 10 The seventh day is the day of worship dedicated to Yahweh your Elohim. You, your sons, your daughters, your male and female slaves, your cattle, and the foreigners living in your city must never do any work on that day. 11 In six days Yahweh made heaven, earth, and the sea, along with everything in them. He didn’t work on the seventh day. That’s why Yahweh blessed the day he stopped his work and set this day apart as holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live for a long time in the land Yahweh your Elohim is giving you.

13 “Never murder.

14 “Never commit adultery.

15 “Never steal.

16 “Never lie when you testify about your neighbor.

17 “Never desire to take your neighbor’s household away from him.

“Never desire to take your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that belongs to him.”

The People’s Reaction

18 All the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning. They heard the blast of the ram’s horn and saw the mountain covered with smoke. So they shook with fear and stood at a distance. 19 Then they said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we’ll listen. But don’t let Elohim speak to us, or we’ll die!”

20 Moses answered the people, “Don’t be afraid! Elohim has come only to test you, so that you will be in awe of him and won’t sin.”

21 The people kept their distance while Moses went closer to the dark cloud where Elohim was.

General Rules for Worship

22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you must say to the Israelites: You’ve seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven. 23 Never make any gods of silver or gold for yourselves. Never worship them.

24 “You must build an altar for me made out of dirt. Sacrifice your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle on it. Wherever I choose to have my name remembered, I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you build an altar for me made out of stones, never make it with cut stone blocks. If you use a chisel on it, you will make it unacceptable to me. 26 Never use stairs to go up to my altar. Otherwise, people will be able to see under your clothes.”
