| 1And God spoke all these words, saying: | 1Then God spoke all these words: |
| 2“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. | 2"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. |
| 3“You shall have no other gods before Me. | 3You are to have no other gods besides me. |
| 4“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; | 4"You are not to make for yourselves an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on earth below, or in the water under the earth. |
| 5you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, | 5You are not to bow down to them in worship or serve them, because I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of the parents to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, |
| 6but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. | 6but showing gracious love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. |
| 7“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. | 7"You are not to misuse the name of the LORD your God, because the LORD will not leave the one who misuses his name unpunished. |
| 8“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. | 8"Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy. |
| 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work, | 9Yu are to labor and do all your work during six days, |
| 10but the seventh day is the 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 cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. | 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You are not to do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your livestock, nor the alien who is within your gates— |
| 11For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. | 11because the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, in six days, then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. |
| 12“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you. | 12"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. |
| 13“You shall not murder. | 13"You are not to commit murder. |
| 14“You shall not commit adultery. | 14"You are not to commit adultery. |
| 15“You shall not steal. | 15"You are not to steal. |
| 16“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. | 16"You are not to testify falsely against your neighbor. |
| 17“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” | 17"You are not to covet your neighbor's house. You are not to covet your neighbor's wife, his male or female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." |
| 18Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. | 18All the people experienced the thunder and lightning, the sound of the ram's horn, and the smoking mountain. And as the people experienced it, they trembled and stood at a distance. |
| 19Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” | 19They told Moses, "You speak to us and we will listen, but don't let God speak with us, or we may die. |
| 20And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” | 20Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you may fear him in order that you don't sin." |
| 21So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was. | 21Then the people stood at a distance, and Moses approached the thick cloud where God was. |
| 22Then the LORD said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. | 22The LORD told Moses, "This is what you are to say to the Israelis, 'You have seen for yourselves that I spoke to you from heaven. |
| 23You shall not make anything to be with Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves. | 23You are not to make gods of silver alongside me, nor are you to make for yourselves gods of gold. |
| 24An altar of earth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you. | 24You are to make an altar of earth for me, and you are to sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, and your cattle. Everywhere I cause my name to be remembered, I'll come to you and bless you. |
| 25And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it. | 25If you make an altar of stone for me, you must not build it of cut stones, because if you strike it with your chisel, you will profane it. |
| 26Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.’ | 26You are not to ascend to my altar on steps, so that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.'" |
