Deuteronomio 5
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Los diez mandamientos(A)
5 Moisés convocó a todo Israel y dijo:
«Escuchad, israelitas, los preceptos y las normas que yo os comunico hoy. Aprendéoslos y procurad ponerlos en práctica. 2 El Señor nuestro Dios hizo un pacto con nosotros en el monte Horeb. 3 No fue con nuestros padres con quienes el Señor hizo ese pacto, sino con nosotros, con todos los que hoy estamos vivos aquí. 4 Desde el fuego el Señor os habló cara a cara en la montaña. 5 En aquel tiempo yo actué como intermediario entre el Señor y vosotros, para declararos la palabra del Señor, porque vosotros teníais miedo del fuego y no subisteis a la montaña. El Señor dijo:
6 »Yo soy el Señor tu Dios. Yo te saqué de Egipto, país donde eras esclavo.
7 »No tengas otros dioses además de mí.[a]
8 »No hagas ningún ídolo ni nada que guarde semejanza con lo que hay arriba en el cielo, ni con lo que hay abajo en la tierra, ni con lo que hay en las aguas debajo de la tierra. 9 No te inclines delante de ellos ni los adores. Yo, el Señor tu Dios, soy un Dios celoso. Cuando los padres son malvados y me odian, yo castigo a sus hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generación. 10 Por el contrario, cuando me aman y cumplen mis mandamientos, les muestro mi amor por mil generaciones.
11 »No uses el nombre del Señor tu Dios en falso. Yo, el Señor, no tendré por inocente a quien se atreva a usar mi nombre en falso.
12 »Observa el sábado, y conságraselo al Señor tu Dios, tal como él te ha ordenado. 13 Trabaja seis días, y haz en ellos todo lo que tengas que hacer, 14 pero observa el séptimo día como día de reposo para honrar al Señor tu Dios. No hagas en ese día ningún trabajo, ni tampoco tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tu buey, ni tu asno, ni ninguno de tus animales, ni tampoco los extranjeros que vivan en tus ciudades. De ese modo podrán descansar tu esclavo y tu esclava, lo mismo que tú. 15 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto, y que el Señor tu Dios te sacó de allí con gran despliegue de fuerza y de poder. Por eso el Señor tu Dios te manda observar el sábado.
16 »Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, como el Señor tu Dios te lo ha ordenado, para que disfrutes de una larga vida y te vaya bien en la tierra que te da el Señor tu Dios.
17 »No mates. 18 No cometas adulterio. 19 No robes. 20 No des falso testimonio en contra de tu prójimo. 21 No codicies la mujer de tu prójimo, ni desees su casa, ni su tierra, ni su esclavo, ni su esclava, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni nada que le pertenezca.
22 »Estas son las palabras que el Señor pronunció con voz fuerte desde el fuego, la nube y la densa oscuridad, cuando vosotros estabais reunidos al pie de la montaña. No añadió nada más. Luego las escribió en dos tablas de piedra, y me las entregó.
23 »Cuando oisteis la voz que salía de la oscuridad, mientras la montaña ardía en llamas, todos los jefes de vuestras tribus y vuestros ancianos vinieron a mí 24 y me dijeron: “El Señor nuestro Dios nos ha mostrado su gloria y su majestad, y hemos oído su voz que salía del fuego. Hoy hemos visto que un simple mortal puede seguir con vida aunque Dios hable con él. 25 Pero ¿por qué tenemos que morir? Este gran fuego nos consumirá, y moriremos, si seguimos oyendo la voz del Señor nuestro Dios. 26 Pues ¿qué mortal ha oído jamás la voz del Dios viviente hablarle desde el fuego, como la hemos oído nosotros, y ha vivido para contarlo? 27 Acércate tú al Señor nuestro Dios, y escucha todo lo que él te diga. Repítenos luego todo lo que te comunique, y nosotros escucharemos y obedeceremos”.
28 »El Señor escuchó cuando me hablabais, y me dijo: “He oído lo que este pueblo te dijo. Todo lo que dijeron está bien. 29 ¡Ojalá su corazón esté siempre dispuesto a temerme y a cumplir todos mis mandamientos, para que a ellos y a sus hijos siempre les vaya bien!
30 »”Ve y diles que vuelvan a sus tiendas. 31 Pero tú quédate aquí conmigo, que voy a darte todos los mandamientos, preceptos y normas que has de enseñarles, para que los pongan en práctica en la tierra que les daré como herencia”.
32 »Tened, pues, cuidado de hacer lo que el Señor vuestro Dios os ha mandado; no os desviéis ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda. 33 Seguid por el camino que el Señor vuestro Dios os ha trazado, para que viváis, prosperéis y disfrutéis de larga vida en la tierra que vais a poseer.

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.

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.
