Exodus 20

1 And God spoke all these words:

1 ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ قَائِلًا:

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

2 «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

3 You shall have no other gods before Me.

3 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

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 لَا تَصْنَعْ لَكَ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا، وَلَا صُورَةً مَا مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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 لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلَا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ ذُنُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ،

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

6 وَأَصْنَعُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَايَ.

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 لَا تَنْطِقْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِٱسْمِهِ بَاطِلًا.

8 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

8 اُذْكُرْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ.

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

9 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَصْنَعُ جَمِيعَ عَمَلِكَ،

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 وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَصْنَعْ عَمَلًا مَّا أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَبَهِيمَتُكَ وَنَزِيلُكَ ٱلَّذِي دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ.

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 لِأَنْ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ وَقَدَّسَهُ.

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 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

13 You shall not murder.

13 لَا تَقْتُلْ.

14 You shall not commit adultery.

14 لَا تَزْنِ.

15 You shall not steal.

15 لَا تَسْرِقْ.

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

16 لَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى قَرِيبِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ.

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 لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ قَرِيبِكَ. لَا تَشْتَهِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِكَ، وَلَا عَبْدَهُ، وَلَا أَمَتَهُ، وَلَا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلَا حِمَارَهُ، وَلَا شَيْئًا مِمَّا لِقَرِيبِكَ».

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 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ يَرَوْنَ ٱلرُّعُودَ وَٱلْبُرُوقَ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ، وَٱلْجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ. وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱرْتَعَدُوا وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

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 وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «تَكَلَّمْ أَنْتَ مَعَنَا فَنَسْمَعَ. وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمْ مَعَنَا ٱللهُ لِئَلَّا نَمُوتَ».

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 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِكَيْ يَمْتَحِنَكُمْ، وَلِكَيْ تَكُونَ مَخَافَتُهُ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُخْطِئُوا».

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

21 فَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلضَّبَابِ حَيْثُ كَانَ ٱللهُ.

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 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَكَلَّمْتُ مَعَكُمْ.

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

23 لَا تَصْنَعُوا مَعِي آلِهَةَ فِضَّةٍ، وَلَا تَصْنَعُوا لَكُمْ آلِهَةَ ذَهَبٍ.

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 مَذْبَحًا مِنْ تُرَابٍ تَصْنَعُ لِي وَتَذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَتِكَ، غَنَمَكَ وَبَقَرَكَ. فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَصْنَعُ لِٱسْمِي ذِكْرًا آتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ.

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 وَإِنْ صَنَعْتَ لِي مَذْبَحًا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فَلَا تَبْنِهِ مِنْهَا مَنْحُوتَةً. إِذَا رَفَعْتَ عَلَيْهَا إِزْمِيلَكَ تُدَنِّسُهَا.

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

26 وَلَا تَصْعَدْ بِدَرَجٍ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي كَيْلَا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ.
