The Holy Bible - The Second Book of Moses: Called Exodus, Chapter 20 (Latin)

1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou 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.

5Thou 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;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou 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.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But 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:

11For 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.

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17Thou 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.

18And 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.

19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but 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 your faces, that ye sin not.

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

22And 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.

23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

25And 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.

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

1locutus quoque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos

2ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis

3non habebis deos alienos coram me

4non facies tibi sculptile neque omnem similitudinem quae est in caelo desuper et quae in terra deorsum nec eorum quae sunt in aquis sub terra

5non adorabis ea neque coles ego sum Dominus Deus tuus fortis zelotes visitans iniquitatem patrum in filiis in tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt me

6et faciens misericordiam in milia his qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea

7non adsumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum nec enim habebit insontem Dominus eum qui adsumpserit nomen Domini Dei sui frustra

8memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices

9sex diebus operaberis et facies omnia opera tua

10septimo autem die sabbati Domini Dei tui 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

11sex 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

12honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam ut sis longevus super terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi

13non occides

14non moechaberis

15non furtum facies

16non loqueris contra proximum tuum falsum testimonium

17non concupisces domum proximi tui nec desiderabis uxorem eius non servum non ancillam non bovem non asinum nec omnia quae illius sunt

18cunctus autem populus videbat voces et lampadas et sonitum bucinae montemque fumantem et perterriti ac pavore concussi steterunt procul

19dicentes Mosi loquere tu nobis et audiemus non loquatur nobis Dominus ne forte moriamur

20et ait Moses ad populum nolite timere ut enim probaret vos venit Deus et ut terror illius esset in vobis et non peccaretis

21stetitque populus de longe Moses autem accessit ad caliginem in qua erat Deus

22dixit praeterea Dominus ad Mosen haec dices filiis Israhel vos vidistis quod de caelo locutus sum vobis

23non facietis mecum deos argenteos nec deos aureos facietis vobis

24altare de terra facietis mihi et offeretis super eo holocausta et pacifica vestra oves vestras et boves in omni loco in quo memoria fuerit nominis mei veniam ad te et benedicam tibi

25quod si altare lapideum feceris mihi non aedificabis illud de sectis lapidibus si enim levaveris cultrum tuum super eo polluetur

26non ascendes per gradus ad altare meum ne reveletur turpitudo tua
