Liber Exodus

Exodus, chapter 20, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 20 Vulgate

   1 Locutusque est Deus cunctos sermones hos:
   2 "Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis.
   3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me.
   4 Non facies tibi sculptile neque omnem similitudinem eorum, quae sunt in caelo desuper et quae in terra deorsum et quae in aquis sub terra.
   5 Non adorabis ea neque coles, quia ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, Deus zelotes, visitans iniquitatem patrum in filiis in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum, qui oderunt me,
   6 et faciens misericordiam in milia his, qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea.
   7 Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum, nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum, qui assumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra.
   8 Memento, ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
   9 Sex diebus operaberis et facies omnia opera tua;
   10 septimus autem dies sabbatum Domino Deo tuo est; non facies omne opus tu et filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua, iumentum tuum et advena, qui est intra portas tuas.
   11 Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram et mare et omnia, quae in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo; idcirco benedixit Dominus diei sabbati et sanctificavit eum.
   12 Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longaevus super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi.
   13 Non occides.
   14 Non moechaberis.
   15 Non furtum facies.
   16 Non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium.
   17 Non concupisces domum proximi tui: non desiderabis uxorem eius, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non asinum nec omnia, quae illius sunt"
   18 Cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampades et sonitum bucinae montemque fumantem; et perterriti ac pavore concussi steterunt procul
   19 dicentes Moysi: "Loquere tu nobis, et audiemus; non loquatur nobis Deus, ne moriamur"
   20 Et ait Moyses ad populum: "Nolite timere; ut enim probaret vos, venit Deus, et ut timor illius esset in vobis, ne peccaretis"
   21 Stetitque populus de longe; Moyses autem accessit ad caliginem, in qua erat Deus.
   22 Dixit praeterea Dominus ad Moysen: "Haec dices filiis Israel: Vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sim vobis.
   23 Non facietis praeter me deos argenteos nec deos aureos facietis vobis.
   24 Altare de terra facietis mihi et offeretis super eo holocausta et pacifica vestra, oves vestras et boves; in omni loco, in quo memoriam fecero nominis mei, veniam ad te et benedicam tibi.
   25 Quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi, non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus; si enim levaveris cultrum super eo, polluetur.
   26 Non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum, ne reveletur turpitudo tua.

King James Version

   1 And God spake all these words, saying,
   2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
   3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
   4 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:
   5 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;
   6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
   7 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.
   8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
   9 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.
