The Ten Commandments
20 (A)And (B)God spoke all these words, saying,
2 (C)“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 (D)“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 (E)“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or 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. 5 (F)You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am (G)a jealous God, (H)visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 (I)“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.
8 (J)“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 (K)Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the (L)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, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the (M)sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For (N)in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 (O)“Honor your father and your mother, (P)that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 (Q)“You shall not murder.[c]
14 (R)“You shall not commit adultery.
15 (S)“You shall not steal.
16 (T)“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 (U)“You shall not covet (V)your neighbor's house; (W)you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”
18 Now when all the people saw (X)the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid[d] and trembled, and they stood far off 19 and said to Moses, (Y)“You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.” 20 (Z)Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to (AA)test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.” 21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the (AB)thick darkness where God was.
Laws About Altars
22 And the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have (AC)talked with you from heaven. 23 (AD)You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. 24 An altar of earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. (AE)In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and (AF)bless you. 25 (AG)If you make me an altar of stone, (AH)you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it. 26 And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’

十誡
20 以下是上帝的訓示：
2 「我是你的上帝耶和華，曾把你領出埃及，使你不再受奴役。
3 「除我以外，你不可有別的神。
4 「不可為自己雕刻神像，不可仿照任何飛禽走獸或水族的樣子造神像， 5 不可跪拜它們，也不可供奉它們，因為我——你的上帝耶和華痛恨不貞，我必追討背棄我之人的罪，從父到子直到三四代。 6 但那些愛我、遵守我誡命的人，我必以慈愛待他們，直到千代。
7 「不可妄用你上帝耶和華的名，違者必被耶和華定罪。
8 「要記住安息日，守為聖日。 9 你一週可工作六天， 10 但第七天是你的上帝耶和華的安息日，這一天你和兒女、僕婢、牲畜及你那裡的外族人不可做任何工。 11 因為耶和華用六天造了天、地、海和其中的萬物，第七天便休息了，所以耶和華賜福這日，把它定為聖日。
12 「要孝敬父母，以便在你的上帝耶和華賜給你的土地上享長壽。
13 「不可殺人。
14 「不可通姦。
15 「不可偷盜。
16 「不可作偽證陷害人。
17 「不可貪戀別人的房屋，不可貪戀別人的妻子、僕婢、牛驢或其他任何物品。」
18 那時雷電交加，號角嘹亮，山上冒煙，百姓看見此情景，都嚇得渾身顫抖，不敢挨近。 19 他們對摩西說：「求你跟我們說話，我們必聽從。不要讓上帝直接跟我們說話，恐怕我們會喪命！」 20 摩西對百姓說：「不用害怕，上帝降臨是要試驗你們，好讓你們時時敬畏祂，不致犯罪。」
21 百姓都站得遠遠的，摩西獨自走進上帝所在的密雲中。 22 耶和華吩咐摩西對以色列百姓說：「既然你們已經親眼看見我從天上向你們說話， 23 除了敬拜我之外，不可為自己製造金銀神像。 24 你們要為我築一座土壇，把你們的牛羊獻在壇上作燔祭和平安祭。凡是我使自己的名號被尊崇的地方，我會親臨那裡賜福給你們。 25 你們若為我築石壇，不可用鑿刻的石頭，因為用工具鑿刻的石頭會玷污祭壇。 26 不可踩著臺階登我的祭壇，免得露出你們的下體。

Los diez mandamientos(A)
20 Dios habló, y dijo todas estas palabras:
2 «Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te sacó de Egipto, donde eras esclavo.
3 »No tengas otros dioses aparte de mí.
4 »No te hagas ningún ídolo ni figura de lo que hay arriba en el cielo, ni de lo que hay abajo en la tierra, ni de lo que hay en el mar debajo de la tierra. 5 No te inclines delante de ellos ni les rindas culto, porque yo soy el Señor tu Dios, Dios celoso que castiga la maldad de los padres que me odian, en sus hijos, nietos y bisnietos; 6 pero que trato con amor por mil generaciones a los que me aman y cumplen mis mandamientos.
7 »No hagas mal uso del nombre del Señor tu Dios, pues él no dejará sin castigo al que use mal su nombre.
8 »Acuérdate del sábado, para consagrarlo al Señor. 9 Trabaja seis días y haz en ellos todo lo que tengas que hacer, 10 pero el séptimo día es de reposo consagrado al Señor tu Dios. No hagas ningún trabajo en ese día, ni tampoco tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tus animales, ni el extranjero que viva contigo. 11 Porque el Señor hizo en seis días el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos, y descansó el día séptimo. Por eso el Señor bendijo el sábado y lo declaró día sagrado.
12 »Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que vivas una larga vida en la tierra que te da el Señor tu Dios.
13 »No mates.
14 »No cometas adulterio.
15 »No robes.
16 »No digas mentiras en perjuicio de tu prójimo.
17 »No codicies la casa de tu prójimo: no codicies su mujer, ni su esclavo, ni su esclava, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni nada que le pertenezca.»
Los israelitas sienten temor de Dios(B)
18 Todos los israelitas fueron testigos de los truenos y relámpagos, del sonido de trompetas y del monte envuelto en humo; pero tenían miedo y se mantenían alejados. 19 Así que le dijeron a Moisés:
—Háblanos tú, y obedeceremos; pero que no nos hable Dios, no sea que muramos.
20 Y Moisés les contestó:
—No tengan miedo. Dios ha venido para ponerlos a prueba y para que siempre sientan temor de él, a fin de que no pequen.
21 Y mientras el pueblo se mantenía alejado, Moisés se acercó a la nube oscura en la que estaba Dios.
La ley para el altar
22 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
«Di lo siguiente a los israelitas: “Ya ustedes han visto que he hablado desde el cielo con ustedes. 23 No hagan ídolos de oro o plata para adorarlos como a mí. 24 Háganme un altar de tierra, y ofrézcanme en él los animales de sus rebaños y ganados como holocaustos y sacrificios de reconciliación. Yo vendré y los bendeciré en cada lugar en el que yo quiera que se recuerde mi nombre. 25 Y si me hacen un altar de piedras, que no sea de piedras labradas, porque al labrar la piedra con herramientas se la hace indigna de un altar. 26 Y mi altar no debe tener escalones, para que al subir ustedes no muestren la parte desnuda del cuerpo.”

The Ten Commandments(A)
20 And God spoke(B) all these words:(C)
2 “I am the Lord your God,(D) who brought you out(E) of Egypt,(F) out of the land of slavery.(G)
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.(H)
4 “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. 5 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, 6 but showing love to a thousand(N) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(O)
8 “Remember the Sabbath(P) day by keeping it holy. 9 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.’
