Exodus 20

1And God spake all these words, saying,

1`And God speaketh all these words, saying,

2I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

2I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

3`Thou hast no other Gods before Me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor 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:

4`Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which <FI>is<Fi> in the heavens above, or which <FI>is<Fi> in the earth beneath, or which <FI>is<Fi> in the waters under the earth.

5thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

5Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, <FI>am<Fi> a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third <FI>generation<Fi> , and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

6and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

6and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

7Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

7`Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

8`Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;

9Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

9six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,

10but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

10and the seventh day <FI>is<Fi> a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --

11for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

11for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that <FI>is<Fi> in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

12Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

12`Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

13`Thou dost not murder.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

14`Thou dost not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

15`Thou dost not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

16`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.

17`Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which <FI>is<Fi> thy neighbour's.'

18And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

18And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,

19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

19and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'

20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

20And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces--that ye sin not.'

21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

21And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God <FI>is<Fi> .

22And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

22And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye--ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;

23Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

23ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.

24An 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 every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.

24`An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.

25And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

25`And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;

26Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.

26neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
