Exodus 20

1 And God spoke all these words:

1 上帝吩咐這一切的話說：

2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

2 「我是耶和華－你的上帝，曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。

3 You shall have no other gods before Me.

3 「除了我以外，你不可有別的神。

4 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

4 「不可為自己雕刻偶像，也不可做甚麼形像彷彿上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。

5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

5 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因為我耶和華－你的上帝是忌邪的上帝。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；

6 but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

6 愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。

7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

7 「不可妄稱耶和華－你上帝的名；因為妄稱耶和華名的，耶和華必不以他為無罪。

8 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

8 「當記念安息日，守為聖日。

9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

9 六日要勞碌做你一切的工，

10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates.

10 但第七日是向耶和華－你上帝當守的安息日。這一日你和你的兒女、僕婢、牲畜，並你城裏寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做；

11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

11 因為六日之內，耶和華造天、地、海，和其中的萬物，第七日便安息，所以耶和華賜福與安息日，定為聖日。

12 Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

12 「當孝敬父母，使你的日子在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上得以長久。

13 You shall not murder.

13 「不可殺人。

14 You shall not commit adultery.

14 「不可姦淫。

15 You shall not steal.

15 「不可偷盜。

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

16 「不可作假見證陷害人。

17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

17 「不可貪戀人的房屋；也不可貪戀人的妻子、僕婢、牛驢，並他一切所有的。」

18 When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

18 眾百姓見雷轟、閃電、角聲、山上冒煙，就都發顫，遠遠地站立，

19 “Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”

19 對摩西說：「求你和我們說話，我們必聽；不要上帝和我們說話，恐怕我們死亡。」

20 “Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”

20 摩西對百姓說：「不要懼怕；因為上帝降臨是要試驗你們，叫你們時常敬畏他，不致犯罪。」

21 And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

21 於是百姓遠遠地站立；摩西就挨近上帝所在的幽暗之中。

22 Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

22 耶和華對摩西說：「你要向以色列人這樣說：『你們自己看見我從天上和你們說話了。

23 You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.

23 你們不可做甚麼神像與我相配，不可為自己做金銀的神像。

24 You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

24 你要為我築土壇，在上面以牛羊獻為燔祭和平安祭。凡記下我名的地方，我必到那裏賜福給你。

25 Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.

25 你若為我築一座石壇，不可用鑿成的石頭，因你在上頭一動家具，就把壇污穢了。

26 And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’

26 你上我的壇，不可用臺階，免得露出你的下體來。』」
