20 ¶ Bondye pran pale, li di:

-Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.

Piga nou gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.

Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la, osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.

Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.

Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan mwen renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.

Piga nou sèvi mal ak non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske Seyè a p'ap manke pa pini moun ki sèvi mal avèk non li.

Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou mwen.

N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa yo n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou fè.

10 Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo pou nou mete apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni moun k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèt nou yo, ni etranje ki lakay nou.

11 Paske, Seyè a te pran sis jou pou l' fè syèl la, latè a ak lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. Apre sa, sou setyèm jou a, li pran repo. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a beni jou repo a, li mete l' apa pou li.

12 ¶ Respekte manman nou ak papa nou pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.

13 Piga nou touye moun.

14 Piga nou fè adiltè.

15 Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou.

16 Piga nou bay manti sou frè parèy nou.

17 Piga nou pote lanvi sou sa ki pa pou nou: ni sou kay frè parèy nou, ni sou madanm li, ni sou moun k'ap sèvi lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou ankenn lòt bagay ki pou frè parèy nou.

18 ¶ Lè pèp la tande bri loraj la ak son twonpèt la, lè yo wè kout zèklè sou kout zèklè, ak mòn lan ki t'ap pouse lafimen, yo tranble sitèlman yo te pè. Yo ret kanpe byen lwen.

19 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Pito se ou menm ki pale ak nou, n'a koute sa w'ap di. Men, si se Bondye ki pou pale avèk nou, n'a mouri.

20 Moyiz di pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye vini pou wè kote nou ye avèk li. Li vle pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè peche.

21 Men pèp la rete kanpe byen lwen. Sèl Moyiz te pwoche kote nwaj nwa a kote Bondye te ye a.

22 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz: -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Nou wè ki jan mwen ret nan syèl la pou m' pale ak nou.

23 Piga n al fè lòt bondye an ajan osinon an lò pou nou sèvi yo ansanm avè m'.

24 N'a bati yon lòtèl an tè pou mwen. Se sou li n'a ofri bèt n'a touye pou boule nèt yo ak bèt n'a touye pou di mèsi. Se sou li n'a ofri mouton ak bèf nou yo. Chak kote m'a di nou pou nou fè sèvis pou mwen, m'a vin jwenn nou la, m'a beni nou.

25 Si nou fe yon lòtèl ak ròch pou mwen, pa travay ròch n'a pran pou fè l' la. Paske lè ou travay yon ròch ak sizo, li pa ka sèvi pou mwen ankò.

26 Piga nou sèvi ak macheskalye pou nou moute sou lòtèl mwen pou moun pa wè anba rad nou.

The Ten Commandments(A)

20 And God spoke(B) all these words:(C)

“I am the Lord your God,(D) who brought you out(E) of Egypt,(F) out of the land of slavery.(G)

“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.(H)

“You shall not make for yourself an image(I) in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship(J) them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,(K) punishing the children for the sin of the parents(L) to the third and fourth generation(M) of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand(N) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(O)

“Remember the Sabbath(P) day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,(Q) 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath(R) 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, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,(S) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested(T) on the seventh day.(U) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother,(V) so that you may live long(W) in the land(X) the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.(Y)

14 “You shall not commit adultery.(Z)

15 “You shall not steal.(AA)

16 “You shall not give false testimony(AB) against your neighbor.(AC)

17 “You shall not covet(AD) your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet(AE) and saw the mountain in smoke,(AF) they trembled with fear.(AG) They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak(AH) to us or we will die.”(AI)

20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid.(AJ) God has come to test(AK) you, so that the fear(AL) of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”(AM)

21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness(AN) where God was.

Idols and Altars

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven:(AO) 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me;(AP) do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.(AQ)

24 “‘Make an altar(AR) of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings(AS) and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name(AT) to be honored, I will come to you and bless(AU) you. 25 If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool(AV) on it. 26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts(AW) may be exposed.’

Footnotes

  1. Exodus 20:3 Or besides

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto 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 water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to 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;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

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.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 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, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
