Deuteronomio 5

Los Diez Mandamientos
5 Moisés siguió hablándole al pueblo de Israel y le dijo: «Oigan ahora cuidadosamente estas leyes y normas que Dios les ha dado; apréndanselas, consérvenlas y obedézcanlas.
2-3 »El Señor nuestro Dios hizo un pacto con ustedes en el monte Horeb, no con sus antepasados, sino con ustedes que están aquí vivos hoy día. 4 El Señor habló con ustedes cara a cara desde el centro del fuego en el monte. 5 Yo estaba como mediador entre ustedes y el Señor porque ustedes tenían miedo del fuego y no se quisieron acercar al monte. Él me habló y yo les di sus leyes. Esto es lo que dijo:
6 »Yo soy el Señor tu Dios que te liberó de la esclavitud de Egipto.
7 »No tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí.
8 »No te harás ídolos, no adorarás imágenes; sean de hombre o mujer, de aves, de animales o de peces. 9-10 No te inclinarás delante de imagen alguna para adorarla de ninguna forma, porque yo, el Señor tu Dios; soy un Dios celoso. Yo castigo la maldad que haga un jefe de clan, incluyendo la tercera y cuarta generación de los que me odian; pero muestro misericordia a muchas generaciones de los que me aman y obedecen mis mandamientos.
11 »No usarás mi nombre en vano. No daré por inocente al que lo haga. Yo el Señor tu Dios.
12 »Guarda el día de reposo como un día santo. Este es mi mandamiento. 13 Trabaja seis días, 14 pero el séptimo le pertenece al Señor tu Dios; en ese día nadie en tu casa debe trabajar: tú, tus hijos e hijas, tus esclavos, tus bueyes, tus burros, ni ninguno de tus animales, ni los extranjeros que se han establecido entre ustedes. Todos deben descansar juntamente contigo, especialmente tus esclavos y tus esclavas. 15 Recuerda que tú mismo fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y el Señor tu Dios te sacó de ese país con gran demostración de poder. Esa es la razón para obedecer este mandamiento.
16 »Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, tal como el Señor tu Dios te ordenó. Si lo haces, tendrás una vida larga y próspera en la tierra que te da.
17 »No matarás, 18 ni cometerás adulterio, 19 ni robarás, 20 ni acusarás falsamente a tu prójimo. 21 Tampoco codiciarás la esposa de otro hombre, ni su casa, ni su tierra, ni sus esclavos, ni sus bueyes, ni sus burros ni cosa alguna que él posea.
22 »El Señor les dio estas leyes cuando estaban congregados como asamblea ante el monte. Él les habló desde el fuego, las nubes y las tinieblas que cubrían el monte Sinaí. Estos fueron los únicos mandamientos que el Señor les dio entonces, y los escribió en dos tablas de piedra que me entregó. 23 Pero cuando ustedes oyeron la voz que salía desde la oscuridad, y vieron el fuego terrible en la cumbre del monte, sus jefes vinieron a mí 24 y me rogaron: “Hoy nuestro Dios nos ha mostrado su gloria y su grandeza; hemos oído su voz desde el centro del fuego. Ahora sabemos que una persona puede oír a Dios y no morir; 25 pero si nos habla nuevamente, de seguro moriremos. ¡Ese fuego terrible nos va a destruir totalmente! 26 ¿Qué mortal puede oír, como hemos oído nosotros, la voz del Dios vivo, que habla desde el fuego, y vivir? 27 Ve tú y escucha todo lo que Dios dice, y luego ven y dínoslo y nosotros oiremos y obedeceremos”.
28 »El Señor accedió a la petición y me dijo: “He oído lo que el pueblo te ha dicho y estoy de acuerdo. 29 Ojalá siempre estuviera dispuesto a obedecer mis mandamientos. Si así fuera, les iría bien en todo a ellos, a sus hijos y a las generaciones futuras. 30 Ve y diles que regresen a sus tiendas. 31 Luego regresa de nuevo a donde estoy. Te daré todos los mandamientos para que se los enseñes al pueblo con el fin de que los pongan en práctica en la tierra que les voy a dar”».
32 Entonces Moisés le dijo al pueblo: «Deben obedecer los mandamientos tal como el Señor su Dios se los ha ordenado. Sigan sus instrucciones al pie de la letra, 33 y manténganse en el derrotero que Dios les trazó. Esa es la única forma en la que tendrán vida larga y próspera en la tierra que pronto entrarán a poseer.
Deuteronomy 5
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.
Deuteronomy 5
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.
