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.

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.

Herinnering aan Gods wetten
5 Mozes vervolgde zijn toespraak tot de Israëlieten en zei: ‘Luister nu goed naar al deze wetten en gedragsregels die God u heeft gegeven, zorg ervoor dat u ze leert en gehoorzaamt! 2-4 De Here, onze God, sloot bij de berg Horeb een verbond met ons, niet alleen met onze voorouders, maar met ons die hier nu aanwezig zijn. Hij sprak van aangezicht tot aangezicht met u vanuit het midden van het vuur, daar bij de berg. 5 Ik stond daar als tussenpersoon tussen u en de Here, want u was bang voor het vuur en beklom de berg niet. Hij sprak tegen mij en ik gaf zijn wetten aan u door. Dit is wat Hij zei:
6 Ik ben de Here, uw God, die u uit de Egyptische slavernij heeft bevrijd.
7 U mag geen andere goden aanbidden naast Mij.
8 Maak geen afgodsbeelden, aanbid geen voorstellingen van vogels, dieren of vissen.
9,10 U mag u niet buigen voor beelden, noch hen op een andere manier vereren, want Ik ben de Here, uw God. Ik ben een jaloerse God, die de zonden van de vaders aanrekent aan de kinderen uit de derde en vierde generatie van hen die Mij haten. Maar Ik zal mijn goedheid tonen aan duizenden generaties van hen die van Mij houden en die mijn geboden gehoorzamen.
11 Noem de naam van de Here, uw God, niet zonder dat dit nodig is. Degene die dat wel doet, zal Ik als schuldig beschouwen.
12 Houd de sabbat heilig. Dat is een gebod van de Here, uw God. 13 Doe op de andere zes dagen uw werk, 14 de zevende dag is de sabbat van de Here, uw God, die dag mag geen werk worden verricht door u of iemand van uw huishouden: uw zonen, dochters, dienaren, ossen, ezels of ander vee. Ook buitenlanders die bij u wonen, moeten dit gebod gehoorzamen. Iedereen moet, net als u, rusten. 15 De sabbat moet u houden om te herdenken dat u slaven was in Egypte en dat de Here, uw God, u uit dat land heeft geleid met een groot vertoon van macht.
16 Eer uw vader en uw moeder naar het gebod van de Here, uw God. Als u dat doet, zult u een lang en voorspoedig leven hebben in het land dat Hij u geeft.
17 U mag niet doodslaan.
18 U mag geen overspel plegen.
19 U mag niet stelen.
20 U mag niet liegen.
21 U mag geen verlangend oog laten vallen op de vrouw van een andere man, noch hem benijden om zijn huis, land, dienaren, ossen, ezels, noch om iets anders dat hij bezit!
22 De Here heeft met luide stem aan ieder van u deze geboden uit het hart van het vuur gegeven, terwijl de berg Sinaï in wolken en diepe duisternis was gehuld. Aan deze geboden heeft Hij er geen toegevoegd. Hij schreef ze op twee stenen plaquettes en gaf die aan mij. 23 Maar toen u de luide stem vanuit de duisternis hoorde en het verschrikkelijke vuur op de top van de berg zag, kwamen al uw stamhoofden naar mij toe 24 en smeekten: “Vandaag heeft de Here, onze God, ons zijn grootheid en glorie getoond, wij hebben zelfs zijn stem uit het midden van het vuur gehoord. Vandaag zagen wij dat een mens met God kan spreken en toch in leven kan blijven. 25 Maar wij zullen zeker sterven als Hij nog een keer tegen ons spreekt. Dat vreselijke vuur zal ons verteren. 26,27 Want wie kan, zoals wij, de stem van de levende God vanuit het midden van het vuur horen en toch blijven leven? Gaat u maar en luister naar wat God zegt en kom dan terug en vertel het ons, dan zullen wij luisteren en gehoorzamen.”
28 De Here willigde uw verzoek in en zei tegen mij: “Ik heb gehoord wat het volk tegen u zei en Ik ga daarmee akkoord. 29 Och, hadden zij maar altijd zoʼn hart voor Mij en wilden zij maar altijd zo graag mijn geboden gehoorzamen. Dan zou het hun en hun kinderen en alle toekomstige generaties goed gaan! 30 Ga naar hen toe en zeg dat zij naar hun tenten moeten teruggaan. 31 Kom daarna terug en ga hier bij Mij staan, dan zal Ik u al mijn geboden geven en u zult ze aan het volk leren. Dan zullen ze die geboden gehoorzamen in het land dat Ik hun ga geven.” ’
32,33 Zo vertelde Mozes de Israëlieten: ‘U moet alle geboden van de Here gehoorzamen. Al zijn aanwijzingen moet u precies opvolgen en zo zult u de weg gaan die Hij voor u heeft bepaald. Alleen op die manier zult u lang en voorspoedig leven in het land dat u binnenkort zult binnentrekken en in bezit nemen.’

Il Decalogo
5 Mosè convocò tutto Israele e disse loro: «Ascolta, Israele, le leggi e le norme che oggi io proclamo dinanzi a voi: imparatele e custoditele e mettetele in pratica. 2 Il Signore nostro Dio ha stabilito con noi un'alleanza sull'Oreb. 3 Il Signore non ha stabilito questa alleanza con i nostri padri, ma con noi che siamo qui oggi tutti in vita. 4 Il Signore vi ha parlato faccia a faccia sul monte dal fuoco, 5 mentre io stavo tra il Signore e voi, per riferirvi la parola del Signore, perché voi avevate paura di quel fuoco e non eravate saliti sul monte. Egli disse:
6 Io sono il Signore, tuo Dio, che ti ho fatto uscire dal paese di Egitto, dalla condizione servile. 7 Non avere altri dei di fronte a me. 8 Non ti farai idolo né immagine alcuna di ciò che è lassù in cielo, né di ciò che è quaggiù sulla terra, né di ciò che è nelle acque sotto la terra. 9 Non ti prostrerai davanti a quelle cose e non le servirai. Perché io il Signore tuo Dio sono un Dio geloso, che punisce la colpa dei padri nei figli fino alla terza e alla quarta generazione per quanti mi odiano, 10 ma usa misericordia fino a mille generazioni verso coloro che mi amano e osservano i miei comandamenti.
11 Non pronunciare invano il nome del Signore tuo Dio perché il Signore non ritiene innocente chi pronuncia il suo nome invano.
12 Osserva il giorno di sabato per santificarlo, come il Signore Dio tuo ti ha comandato. 13 Sei giorni faticherai e farai ogni lavoro, 14 ma il settimo giorno è il sabato per il Signore tuo Dio: non fare lavoro alcuno né tu, né tuo figlio, né tua figlia, né il tuo schiavo, né la tua schiava, né il tuo bue, né il tuo asino, né alcuna delle tue bestie, né il forestiero, che sta entro le tue porte, perché il tuo schiavo e la tua schiava si riposino come te. 15 Ricordati che sei stato schiavo nel paese d'Egitto e che il Signore tuo Dio ti ha fatto uscire di là con mano potente e braccio teso; perciò il Signore tuo Dio ti ordina di osservare il giorno di sabato.
16 Onora tuo padre e tua madre, come il Signore Dio tuo ti ha comandato, perché la tua vita sia lunga e tu sii felice nel paese che il Signore tuo Dio ti dà.
17 Non uccidere.
18 Non commettere adulterio.
19 Non rubare.
20 Non pronunciare falsa testimonianza contro il tuo prossimo.
21 Non desiderare la moglie del tuo prossimo. Non desiderare la casa del tuo prossimo, né il suo campo, né il suo schiavo, né la sua schiava, né il suo bue, né il suo asino, né alcuna delle cose che sono del tuo prossimo.
22 Queste parole pronunciò il Signore, parlando a tutta la vostra assemblea, sul monte, dal fuoco, dalla nube e dall'oscurità, con voce poderosa, e non aggiunse altro. Le scrisse su due tavole di pietra e me le diede.
Mediazione di Mosè
23 All'udire la voce in mezzo alle tenebre, mentre il monte era tutto in fiamme, i vostri capitribù e i vostri anziani si avvicinarono tutti a me 24 e dissero: Ecco il Signore nostro Dio ci ha mostrato la sua gloria e la sua grandezza e noi abbiamo udito la sua voce dal fuoco; oggi abbiamo visto che Dio può parlare con l'uomo e l'uomo restare vivo. 25 Ma ora, perché dovremmo morire? Questo grande fuoco infatti ci consumerà; se continuiamo a udire ancora la voce del Signore nostro Dio moriremo. 26 Poiché chi tra tutti i mortali ha udito come noi la voce del Dio vivente parlare dal fuoco ed è rimasto vivo? 27 Avvicinati tu e ascolta quanto il Signore nostro Dio dirà; ci riferirai quanto il Signore nostro Dio ti avrà detto e noi lo ascolteremo e lo faremo. 28 Il Signore udì le vostre parole, mentre mi parlavate, e mi disse: Ho udito le parole che questo popolo ti ha rivolte; quanto hanno detto va bene. 29 Oh, se avessero sempre un tal cuore, da temermi e da osservare tutti i miei comandi, per essere felici loro e i loro figli per sempre! 30 Và e dì loro: Tornate alle vostre tende; ma tu resta qui con me 31 e io ti detterò tutti i comandi, tutte le leggi e le norme che dovrai insegnare loro, perché le mettano in pratica nel paese che io sto per dare in loro possesso.
L'amore di Dio, essenza della Legge
32 Badate dunque di fare come il Signore vostro Dio vi ha comandato; non ve ne discostate né a destra né a sinistra; 33 camminate in tutto e per tutto per la via che il Signore vostro Dio vi ha prescritta, perché viviate e siate felici e rimaniate a lungo nel paese di cui avrete il possesso.

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.
