New International Version
The Ten Commandments(A)
5 Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws(B) I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. 2 The Lord our God made a covenant(C) with us at Horeb.(D) 3 It was not with our ancestors[a] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us,(E) with all of us who are alive here today.(F) 4 The Lord spoke(G) to you face to face(H) out of the fire(I) on the mountain. 5 (At that time I stood between(J) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid(K) of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:
6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,(L) out of the land of slavery.(M)
7 “You shall have no other gods before[b] me.
8 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.(N) 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents(O) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,(P) 10 but showing love to a thousand(Q) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.(R)
11 “You shall not misuse the name(S) of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(T)
12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy,(U) as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day(V) is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant,(W) nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.(X) 15 Remember that you were slaves(Y) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand(Z) and an outstretched arm.(AA) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16 “Honor your father(AB) and your mother,(AC) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long(AD) and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
17 “You shall not murder.(AE)
18 “You shall not commit adultery.(AF)
19 “You shall not steal.(AG)
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.(AH)
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”(AI)
22 These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness;(AJ) and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets(AK) and gave them to me.
23 When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders(AL) came to me. 24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us(AM) his glory and his majesty,(AN) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.(AO) 25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.(AP) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(AQ) 27 Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.(AR) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”(AS)
28 The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.(AT) 29 Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me(AU) and keep all my commands(AV) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!(AW)
30 “Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But you stay here(AX) with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.”
32 So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you;(AY) do not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AZ) 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you,(BA) so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days(BB) in the land that you will possess.

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
(Exodus 20.1-17)
5 Moses called together the people of Israel and said:
Today I am telling you the laws and teachings that you must follow, so listen carefully. 2 The Lord our God made an agreement with our nation at Mount Sinai.[a] 3 That agreement wasn't only with[b] our ancestors but with us, who are here today. 4 The Lord himself spoke to you out of the fire, 5 but you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. So I spoke with the Lord for you, then I told you that he had said:
6 I am the Lord your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves.
7 Do not worship any god except me.
8 (A) Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. 9 (B) Don't bow down and worship idols. I am the Lord your God, and I demand all your love. If you reject me and worship idols, I will punish your families for three or four generations. 10 But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations.
11 (C) Do not misuse my name.[c] I am the Lord your God, and I will punish anyone who misuses my name.
12 (D) Show respect for the Sabbath Day—it belongs to me. 13 (E) You have six days when you can do your work, 14 but the seventh day of the week belongs to me, your God. No one is to work on that day—not you, your children, your oxen or donkeys or any other animal, not even those foreigners who live in your towns. And don't make your slaves do any work. 15 This special day of rest will remind you that I reached out my mighty arm and rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
16 (F) Respect your father and mother, and you will live a long and successful life in the land I am giving you.
17 (G) Do not murder.
18 (H) Be faithful in marriage.
19 (I) Do not steal.
20 (J) Do not tell lies about others.
21 (K) Do not desire to possess anything that belongs to another person—not a house, a wife, a husband, a slave, an ox, a donkey, or anything else.
22 (L) When we were gathered at the mountain, the Lord spoke to us in a loud voice from the dark fiery cloud. The Lord gave us these commands, and only these. Then he wrote them on two flat stones and gave them to me.
The People Were Afraid
(Exodus 20.18-21)
Moses said to Israel:
23 When fire blazed from the mountain, and you heard the voice coming from the darkness, your tribal leaders came to me 24 and said:
Today the Lord our God has shown us how powerful and glorious he is. He spoke to us from the fire, and we learned that people can live, even though God speaks to them. 25 But we don't want to take a chance on being killed by that terrible fire, and if we keep on hearing the Lord's voice, we will die. 26 Has anyone else ever heard the only true God speaking from fire, as we have? And even if they have, would they live to tell about it? 27 Moses, go up close and listen to the Lord. Then come back and tell us, and we will do everything he says.
28 The Lord heard you and said:
Moses, I heard what the people said to you, and I approve. 29 I wish they would always worship me with fear and trembling and be this willing to obey me! Then they and their children would always enjoy a successful life.
30 Now, tell them to return to their tents, 31 but you come back here to me. After I tell you my laws and teachings, you will repeat them to the people, so they can obey these laws in the land I am giving them.
Moses said:
32 Israel, you must carefully obey the Lord's commands. 33 Follow them, because they make a path that will lead to a long successful life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

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.
