5 Moseboken 5

De tio budorden
5 Mose kallade samman hela Israel och sade till dem: Hör, Israel, de stadgar och föreskrifter som jag i dag kungör för er. Lär er dem och håll fast vid och följ dem.
2 (A) Herren vår Gud slöt ett förbund med oss på Horeb. 3 Det var inte med våra fäder Herren slöt förbundet, utan med oss som står här i dag, oss alla som nu lever. 4 (B) Ansikte mot ansikte talade Herren till er ur elden på berget. 5 (C) Jag stod då mellan Herren och er för att förkunna Herrens ord för er, för ni var rädda för elden och steg inte upp på berget. Han sade:
6 (D) Jag är Herren din Gud som har fört dig ut ur Egyptens land, ur träldomshuset.[a]
7 (E) Du ska inte ha andra gudar vid sidan av mig.[b]
8 Du ska inte göra dig någon bildstod eller avbild av det som är uppe i himlen eller nere på jorden eller i vattnet under jorden. 9 (F) Du ska inte tillbe dem eller tjäna dem, för jag, Herren din Gud, är en nitisk Gud. Jag låter straffet för fädernas missgärning drabba barnen till tredje och fjärde led när man hatar mig, 10 men visar nåd mot tusentals[c] när man älskar mig och håller mina bud.
11 Du ska inte missbruka Herren din Guds namn, för Herren ska inte låta den bli ostraffad som missbrukar hans namn.
12 Håll sabbatsdagen[d] så att du helgar den, så som Herren din Gud har befallt dig. 13 Sex dagar ska du arbeta och uträtta alla dina sysslor. 14 (G) Men den sjunde dagen är Herren din Guds sabbat. Då ska du inte utföra något arbete, inte heller din son eller dotter, din tjänare eller tjänarinna, din oxe eller åsna eller något av dina dragdjur, eller främlingen som bor hos dig inom dina portar. Din tjänare och din tjänarinna ska få vila liksom du. 15 Kom ihåg att du var slav i Egyptens land, och att Herren din Gud har fört dig ut därifrån med stark hand och uträckt arm. Därför har Herren din Gud befallt dig att hålla sabbatsdagen.
16 [e]Hedra din far och din mor[f], så som Herren din Gud har befallt dig, så att du får leva länge och det går dig väl i det land som Herren din Gud ger dig.
17 Du ska inte mörda[g].
18 Du ska inte begå äktenskapsbrott[h].
19 Du ska inte stjäla[i].
20 Du ska inte bära falskt vittnesbörd mot din nästa.
21 Du ska inte ha begär[j] till din nästas hustru. Du ska inte ha begär till din nästas hus eller åker, hans tjänare eller tjänarinna, hans oxe eller åsna eller något annat som tillhör din nästa.
22 Dessa ord talade Herren med hög röst till hela er församling på berget, ur elden, molnskyn och töcknet, och han tillade inget mer. Och han skrev orden på två stentavlor som han gav åt mig.
Mose träder fram som medlare
23 När ni hörde rösten ur mörkret medan berget brann i eld, kom ni fram till mig, alla huvudmän för era stammar samt era äldste. 24 (H) Och ni sade: ”Se, Herren vår Gud har låtit oss se sin härlighet och sin storhet, och vi har hört hans röst ur elden. I dag har vi sett att Gud kan tala med en människa och ändå låta henne leva. 25 Varför ska vi nu dö? Den stora elden kommer att förtära oss. Om vi får höra mer av Herren vår Guds röst kommer vi att dö. 26 (I) För vem bland allt kött har hört den levande Gudens röst tala ur elden, som vi har gjort, och överlevt? 27 (J) Träd du fram och hör allt som Herren vår Gud säger, och tala du till oss allt som Herren vår Gud talar till dig, så vill vi höra det och göra därefter.”
28 Herren hörde era ord när ni talade till mig, och Herren sade till mig: ”Jag har hört de ord som detta folk har talat till dig. De har rätt i allt de säger. 29 (K) Om de ändå kunde ha sådana hjärtan att de fruktar mig och alltid håller alla mina bud! Då skulle det alltid gå väl för dem och deras barn. 30 Gå och säg till dem: Vänd tillbaka till era tält. 31 Men du ska stanna kvar här hos mig, så ska jag tala till dig alla de bud och stadgar och föreskrifter som du ska lära dem, så att de följer dem i det land som jag ger dem till besittning.”
32 Var noga med att göra vad Herren er Gud har befallt er. Vik inte av, varken åt höger eller åt vänster. 33 Den väg som Herren er Gud har befallt er att gå ska ni alltid följa, så att ni får leva och det går väl för er och ni får ett långt liv i det land som ni ska ta i besittning.

English Standard Version
The Ten Commandments
5 And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the rules that I speak in your hearing today, and you shall learn them and be careful to do them. 2 (A)The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 (B)Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, who are all of us here alive today. 4 The Lord spoke with you (C)face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, 5 (D)while I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord. For (E)you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up into the mountain. He said:
6 (F)“‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 “‘You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
8 “‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 9 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10 but showing steadfast love to (G)thousands[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 “‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
12 “‘Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but (H)the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, (I)that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 (J)You shall remember that you were a slave[c] in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there (K)with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 “‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, (L)that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
17 (M)“‘You shall not murder.[d]
18 (N)“‘And you shall not commit adultery.
19 “‘And you shall not steal.
20 “‘And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 “‘And you shall not covet your neighbor's wife. And you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.’
22 “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly (O)at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and he added no more. And (P)he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. 23 And (Q)as soon as you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders. 24 And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and (R)greatness, and (S)we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man (T)still live. 25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. (U)If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die. 26 (V)For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we have, and has still lived? 27 Go near and hear all that the Lord our God will say, and (W)speak to us all that the Lord our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.’
28 “And the Lord heard your words, when you spoke to me. And the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. (X)They are right in all that they have spoken. 29 (Y)Oh that they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, (Z)that it might go well with them and with their descendants[e] forever! 30 Go and say to them, “Return to your tents.” 31 But you, stand here by me, and (AA)I will tell you the whole commandment and the statutes and the rules that you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land that I am giving them to possess.’ 32 You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. (AB)You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 (AC)You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and (AD)that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

The Ten Commandments
5 Moses called all the people of Israel together and said: Listen, Israel, to the ·commands [statutes; requirements; ordinances] and laws I am ·giving you [L speaking in your ears] today. Learn them and obey them carefully. 2 The Lord our God ·made [L cut] an ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty] with us at ·Mount Sinai [L Horeb; 1:6]. 3 He did not ·make [L cut] this ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty] with our ·ancestors [fathers], but he made it with us, with all of us who are alive here today. 4 The Lord spoke to you face to face from the fire on the mountain [Ex. 19]. 5 (At that time I stood between you and the Lord in order to tell you what the Lord said; you were afraid of the fire, so you would not go up on the mountain.) The Lord said:
6 “I am the Lord your God; I brought you out of the land of Egypt ·where you were slaves [L from the house of bondage].
7 “You must not have any other gods ·except [or before] me.
8 “You must not make for yourselves any idols or anything to worship that looks like something in the ·sky [heavens] above or on the earth below or in the water below the ·land [earth]. 9 You must not worship or serve ·any idol [L them], because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God [4:24]. ·If people sin against me and hate me, I will punish their children, even their grandchildren and great-grandchildren [L I will visit/punish the guilt of the fathers on the sons until the third and fourth generations of those who hate me]. 10 But I will be very kind for a thousand lifetimes to those who love me and obey my commands.
11 “You must not ·use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly [take/lift up the name of the Lord your God in vain], because the Lord will ·punish [L not hold/treat as innocent; not acquit] anyone who ·uses [takes in vain] his name in this way.
12 “·Keep [Observe] the Sabbath ·as a holy day [L to consecrate/sanctify it], as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 You may work and get everything done during six days each week, 14 but the seventh day is a ·day of rest to honor [Sabbath to] the Lord your God. On that day no one may do any work: not you, your son or daughter, your male or female slaves, your ox, your donkey, or any of your animals, or the ·foreigners [resident aliens] living in your cities. That way your servants may rest as you do. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there by his ·great power [L strong hand] and ·strength [L extended arm]. So the Lord your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.
16 “Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God has commanded you. Then you will live ·a long time [L for many days], and things will go well for you in the land that the Lord your God is going to give you.
17 “You must not murder anyone.
18 “You must not ·be guilty of [commit] adultery.
19 “You must not steal.
20 “You must not ·tell lies about [bear false witness against] your neighbor.
21 “You must not ·want to take [covet] your neighbor’s wife. You must not ·want to take [covet] your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female slaves, his ox or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor [C this final commandment indicates that the previous commandments also involve attitudes, not just actions].”
22 The Lord spoke these ·commands [L words] to ·all of you [your whole community/congregation/assembly] on the mountain in a loud voice out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness; he did not say anything else. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets, and he gave them to me.
23 When you heard the voice from the darkness, as the mountain was blazing with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders ·came to [approached] me. 24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us his glory [C his manifest presence] and ·majesty [greatness], and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks to him. 25 But now, ·we will [L why should we … ?] die! This great fire will burn us up, and we will die if we hear the Lord our God speak anymore. 26 ·No human being [L For who of all flesh…?] has ever heard the living God speaking from a fire and still lived, but we have. 27 Moses, you go near and listen to everything the Lord our God says. Then you tell us what the Lord our God tells you, and we will listen and obey.”
28 The Lord heard what you said to me, and he said to me, “I have heard what the people said to you. Everything they said was good. 29 ·I wish [L If only] their ·hearts [minds] would always ·respect [fear] me and that they would always obey my commands so that things would go well for them and their children forever!
30 “Go and tell the people to return to their tents, 31 but you stay here with me so that I may give you all the commands, ·rules [statutes; ordinances; requirements], and laws that you must teach the people to obey in the land I am giving them as their ·own [possession].”
32 So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you, and ·follow the commands exactly [L do not turn aside to the right or to the left]. 33 ·Live the way [L Walk on the way/path that] the Lord your God has commanded you so that you may live and have what is good and have a long life in the land you will ·take [possess].
