Deuteronomy 5

Complete Jewish Bible

5 (A: iv, S: iii) Then Moshe called to all Isra’el and said to them, “Listen, Isra’el, to the laws and rulings which I am announcing in your hearing today, so that you will learn them and take care to obey them. ²Adonai our God made a covenant with us at Horev. ³Adonai did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us — with us, who are all of us here alive today. ⁴Adonai spoke with you face to face from the fire on the mountain. ⁵At that time I stood between Adonai and you in order to tell you what Adonai was saying; because, on account of the fire, you were afraid and wouldn’t go up onto the mountain. He said,

א ⁶“‘I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you lived as slaves.

ב ⁷“‘You are to have no other gods before me. ⁸You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline — ⁹you are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents, also the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ¹⁰but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.

ג ¹¹“‘You are not to misuse the name of Adonai your God, because Adonai will not leave unpunished someone who misuses his name.

ד ¹²“‘Observe the day of Shabbat, to set it apart as holy, as Adonai your God ordered you to do. ¹³You have six days to labor and do all your work, ¹⁴but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your ox, your donkey or any of your other livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property — so that your male and female servants can rest just as you do. ¹⁵You are to remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Adonai your God brought you out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore Adonai your God has ordered you to keep the day of Shabbat.

ה ¹⁶“‘Honor your father and mother, as Adonai your God ordered you to do, so that you will live long and have things go well with you in the land Adonai your God is giving you.

ו ¹⁷“‘Do not murder.

ז ⁽¹⁸⁾“‘Do not commit adultery.

ח ⁽¹⁹⁾“‘Do not steal.

ט ⁽²⁰⁾“‘Do not give false evidence against your neighbor.

י ¹⁸⁽²¹⁾“‘Do not covet your neighbor’s wife; do not covet your neighbor’s house, his field, his male or female slave, his ox, his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’

(A: v, S: iv) ¹⁹⁽²²⁾“These words Adonai spoke to your entire gathering at the mountain from fire, cloud and thick mist, in a loud voice; then it ceased. But he wrote them on two stone tablets, which he gave to me. ²⁰⁽²³⁾When you heard the voice coming out of the darkness, as the mountain blazed with fire, you came to me, all the heads of your tribes and your leaders, ²¹⁽²⁴⁾and said, ‘Here, Adonai our God has shown us his glory and his greatness! We have heard his voice coming from the fire, and we have seen today that God does speak with human beings, and they stay alive. ²²⁽²⁵⁾But why should we keep risking death? This great fire will consume us! If we hear the voice of Adonai our God any more, we will die! ²³⁽²⁶⁾For who is there of all humanity that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the fire, as we have, and stayed alive? ²⁴⁽²⁷⁾You, go near; and hear everything Adonai our God says. Then you will tell us everything Adonai our God says to you; and we will listen to it and do it.’

²⁵⁽²⁸⁾“Adonai heard what you were saying when you spoke to me, and Adonai said to me, ‘I have heard what this people has said when speaking to you, and everything they have said is good. ²⁶⁽²⁹⁾Oh, how I wish their hearts would stay like this always, that they would fear me and obey all my mitzvot; so that it would go well with them and their children forever. ²⁷⁽³⁰⁾Go, tell them to return to their tents. ²⁸⁽³¹⁾But you, stand here by me; and I will tell you all the mitzvot, laws and rulings which you are to teach them, so that they can obey them in the land I am giving them as their possession.’

²⁹⁽³²⁾“Therefore you are to be careful to do as Adonai your God has ordered you; you are not to deviate either to the right or the left. ³⁰⁽³³⁾You are to follow the entire way which Adonai your God has ordered you; so that you will live, things will go well with you, and you will live long in the land you are about to possess.

Deuteronomy 5

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. ²The Lord our God made a covenant^(C) with us at Horeb.^(D) ³It 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) ⁴The 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) ⁹You 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) ¹⁰but 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. ¹³Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁴but 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) ¹⁵Remember 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)

²²These 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.

²³When 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. ²⁴And 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) ²⁵But 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) ²⁶For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?^(AQ) ²⁷Go 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)

²⁸The 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) ²⁹Oh, 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. ³¹But 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.”

³²So 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) ³³Walk 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.

申命记 5

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

　神在何烈山上與以色列人立約

5 摩西把以色列人都召了來，對他們說：“以色列人哪，我今日講給你們聽的律例和典章，你們要聽從，要學習，要謹慎遵行。 ²耶和華我們的　神在何烈山與我們立了約。 ³這約，耶和華不是與我們的列祖立的，而是與我們今日在這裡還活著的人立的。 ⁴耶和華在山上，從火中，面對面的與你們說話。 ⁵那時，我站在耶和華和你們中間，要把耶和華的話告訴你們；你們因為懼怕那火，所以沒有上到山上來，耶和華說：

重述十誡^(A)

⁶“‘我是耶和華你的　神，曾經把你從埃及地，從為奴之家領出來。

⁷“‘除我以外，你不可有別的神。

⁸“‘你不可為自己做偶像，也不可做天上、地下和地底下水中各物的形象。 ⁹不可跪拜它們，也不可事奉它們，因為我耶和華你們的　神是忌邪的　神；恨惡我的，我必追討他們的罪，從父親到兒子，直到三四代。 ¹⁰愛我和遵守我誡命的，我必向他們施慈愛，直到千代。

¹¹“‘不可妄稱耶和華你　神的名，因為妄稱耶和華的名的，耶和華必不以他為無罪。

¹²“‘要遵守安息日為聖日，照著耶和華你　神吩咐你的。 ¹³六日要勞碌，作你一切工作。 ¹⁴但第七日是屬於耶和華你　神的安息日；這一日，你和你的兒女、僕婢、牛驢和一切牲畜，以及你城裡的寄居者，不可作任何的工，好使你的僕婢可以和你一樣享受安息。 ¹⁵你要記住：你在埃及地作過奴僕；耶和華你的　神用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，把你從那裡領出來，因此耶和華你的　神吩咐你要守安息日。

¹⁶“‘要孝敬父母，照著耶和華你的　神吩咐你的，使你可以得享長壽，也使你在耶和華你的　神賜給你的地上，得享福樂。

¹⁷“‘不可殺人。

¹⁸“‘不可姦淫。

¹⁹“‘不可偷盜。

²⁰“‘不可作假證供陷害你的鄰舍。

²¹“‘不可貪愛你鄰舍的妻子；不可貪圖你鄰舍的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛驢和你鄰舍的任何東西。’

人民懼怕，摩西作中保^(B)

²²“這些話就是耶和華在山上，從火中、密雲中、幽暗裡，大聲對你們全體會眾所說的，並沒有加添甚麼；他把這些話寫在兩塊石版上，交給了我。 ²³那時山上被火燒著，你們聽見有聲音從黑暗中發出來的時候，你們各支派的首領和你們的長老，都走到我這裡來， ²⁴說：‘看哪，耶和華我們的　神把他的榮耀和偉大顯給我們看，我們又聽見他從火中發出來的聲音；今日我們看見了　神與人說話，而人還能活著。 ²⁵現在這大火快要吞滅我們了，我們為甚麼要冒死呢？如果我們再聽見耶和華我們　神的聲音，我們就必死亡。 ²⁶因為有血肉生命的人，有誰像我們一樣，聽見永活的　神從火中說話的聲音，還能活著呢？ ²⁷現在求你走前去，聽聽耶和華我們的　神要說的一切話；然後你要把耶和華我們的　神對你所說的一切話，都告訴我們；我們就必聽從，也必遵行。’

²⁸“你們對我說話的時候，耶和華聽見了你們說話的聲音；耶和華就對我說：‘這人民對你所說的話，我都聽見了；他們所說的都很好。 ²⁹但願他們常常存著這樣的心，敬畏我，遵守我的一切誡命，使他們和他們的子孫永享福樂。 ³⁰你去對他們說：“你們回到自己的帳棚裡去吧。” ³¹至於你，你要站在我這裡；我要把一切誡命、律例、典章，都告訴你；你要教導他們，使他們在我賜給他們作產業的地上遵行。’ ³²所以，你們要照著耶和華你們的　神吩咐你們的，謹守遵行，不可偏離左右。 ³³你們要走在耶和華你們的　神吩咐你們走的路上，使你們可以活著，可以享福，並且使你在將要佔領為業的地上，可以長久居住。”
