Deuteronomio 5
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Los diez mandamientos (Ex 20,1-17)
5 Moisés convocó a todo Israel y les dijo:
— Escucha, Israel, las normas y preceptos que yo les promulgo hoy. Apréndanlos y pongan atención en cumplirlos.
2 El Señor nuestro Dios hizo con nosotros una alianza en Horeb. 3 No la hizo solamente con nuestros antepasados, sino también con todos nosotros que hoy estamos vivos. 4 Allí, en el monte, el Señor les habló cara a cara, desde el fuego. 5 Y yo hice de intermediario entre ustedes y el Señor para trasmitirles sus palabras, porque ustedes, aterrorizados por aquel fuego, no subieron al monte. Fue entonces cuando dijo el Señor:
6 — Yo soy el Señor, tu Dios, el que te libró de la esclavitud de Egipto.
7 No tendrás otros dioses aparte de mí.
8 No te harás escultura alguna o imagen de nada de lo que hay arriba en el cielo, abajo en la tierra o en el agua debajo de la tierra. 9 No te postrarás ante ellas, ni les rendirás culto porque yo, el Señor tu Dios, soy un Dios celoso, que castigo la maldad de los padres que me aborrecen, en sus hijos, nietos y biznietos; 10 pero con los que me aman y cumplen mis mandamientos, soy misericordioso por mil generaciones.
11 No pronunciarás en vano el nombre del Señor tu Dios, porque el Señor no dejará sin castigo al que tal haga.
12 Observa el sábado, para consagrarlo como el Señor tu Dios te ha mandado. 13 Durante seis días trabajarás y harás en ellos todas tus tareas, 14 pero el séptimo es día de descanso consagrado al Señor tu Dios. En ese día no realizarás ningún trabajo, ni tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tu buey, ni tu asno, ni ninguno de tus animales, ni el inmigrante que viva en tus ciudades, para que tu esclavo y tu esclava descansen igual que tú. 15 Recuerda que tú también fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y que el Señor tu Dios te sacó de allí con gran poder y destreza sin igual. Por eso tu Dios te ordena observar el sábado.
16 Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, como el Señor tu Dios te lo ha mandado, para que vivas muchos años y seas dichoso en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da.
17 No matarás.
18 No cometerás adulterio.
19 No robarás.
20 No darás testimonio falso en perjuicio de tu prójimo.
21 No codiciarás la mujer de tu prójimo, ni desearás la casa de tu prójimo, ni su campo, ni su esclavo, ni su esclava, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni nada de lo suyo.
22 Estos son los mandamientos que el Señor promulgó con potente voz, desde el fuego y la densa oscuridad, ante toda la asamblea de ustedes, en la montaña. No añadió nada más. Los escribió en dos losas de piedra y me las entregó.
23 Al oír la voz que salía de las tinieblas, mientras la montaña ardía envuelta en llamas, todos ustedes, jefes de tribu y ancianos, vinieron a hablar conmigo, 24 para decirme: “El Señor nuestro Dios nos ha mostrado su gloria y su grandeza, y hemos oído su voz que salía del fuego. Hoy hemos visto que un simple mortal puede hablar con Dios y continuar con vida. 25 Pero ¿por qué tenemos que arriesgarnos de nuevo a morir devorados por este terrible fuego? Si seguimos oyendo la voz del Señor nuestro Dios, moriremos. 26 Pues ¿qué mortal existe, que habiendo oído la voz del Dios vivo hablándole desde el fuego, como la hemos oído nosotros, haya vivido para contarlo? 27 Por eso, acércate tú al Señor nuestro Dios, escucha todo lo que él te diga, y luego tú nos lo transmites. Nosotros lo escucharemos y lo obedeceremos”.
28 El Señor los escuchó cuando me hablaban, y me dijo: He oído lo que te decía este pueblo, y me parece muy bien todo lo que han dicho. 29 ¡Ojalá conserven siempre esa actitud, respetándome y cumpliendo mis mandamientos todos los días, para que tanto ellos como sus hijos tengan siempre una vida dichosa! 30 Ahora ve a decirles que regresen a sus tiendas. 31 Pero tú quédate aquí conmigo, y te daré a conocer todos los estatutos, normas y decretos que deberás enseñarles, para que los observen en la tierra que les voy a dar en herencia.
32 Tengan, pues, cuidado de hacer lo que el Señor su Dios les ha mandado, sin desviarse a derecha ni a izquierda. 33 Vayan por el camino que el Señor su Dios les ha trazado: así serán dichosos y tendrán larga vida en la tierra de la que van a tomar posesión.

The Ten Commandments Reviewed(A)
5 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. 2 (B)The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord (C)did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. 4 (D)The Lord talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire. 5 (E)I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for (F)you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain. He said:
6 (G)‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
7 (H)‘You shall have no other gods [b]before Me.
8 (I)‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 9 you shall not (J)bow[c] down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, [d]visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10 (K)but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and [e]keep My commandments.
11 (L)‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him [f]guiltless who takes His name in vain.
12 (M)‘Observe the Sabbath day, to [g]keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13 (N)Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is the (O)Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 (P)And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there (Q)by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 (R)‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, (S)that your days may be long, and that it may be well with (T)you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
17 (U)‘You shall not murder.
18 (V)‘You shall not commit adultery.
19 (W)‘You shall not steal.
20 (X)‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 (Y)‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’
22 “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And (Z)He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
The People Afraid of God’s Presence(AA)
23 (AB)“So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and (AC)we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he (AD)still lives. 25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; (AE)if we hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, then we shall die. 26 (AF)For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 You go near and hear all that the Lord our God may say, and (AG)tell us all that the Lord our God says to you, and we will hear and do it.’
28 “Then the Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. (AH)They are right in all that they have spoken. 29 (AI)Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and (AJ)always keep all My commandments, (AK)that it might be well with them and with their children forever! 30 Go and say to them, “Return to your tents.” 31 But as for you, stand here by Me, (AL)and I will speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’
32 “Therefore you shall [h]be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; (AM)you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 You shall walk in (AN)all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live (AO)and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Authorized (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.
