Chapter 20

1Hashem spoke all these words, saying:

va-y'-da-BAYR e-lo-HEEM AYT kol ha-d'-va-REEM ha-AY-leh lay-MOR.

אוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֵ֛ת כׇּל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לֵאמֹֽר׃

2I Hashem am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage:

a-NO-khee a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha a-SHER ho-tse-TEE-kha me-E-retz mitz-RA-yim mi-BAYT a-va-DEEM

באָֽנֹכִ֖י֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֧ר הוֹצֵאתִ֛יךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם מִבֵּ֣֥ית עֲבָדִ֑͏ֽים׃

3You shall have no other gods besides Me.

גלֹֽ֣א־יִהְיֶ֥͏ֽה־לְךָ֛֩ אֱלֹהִ֥֨ים אֲחֵרִ֖֜ים עַל־פָּנָֽ͏ַ֗י׃

4You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.

5You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I Hashem your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me,

6but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7You shall not swear falsely by the name of Hashem your God; for Hashem will not clear one who swears falsely by His name.

lo ti-SA et-SHEM a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha la-SHAV, ki lo ye-na-KEH a-do-NAI et a-SHER yi-SA et-SHE-mo la-SHAV. (pey)

8Remember the Shabbat day and keep it holy.

za-KHOR et-YO-ma ha-SHA-bat l'-ka-d'-SHO

חזָכ֛וֹר֩ אֶת־י֥֨וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֖֜ת לְקַדְּשֽׁ֗וֹ׃

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

טשֵׁ֤֣שֶׁת יָמִ֣ים֙ תַּֽעֲבֹ֔ד֮ וְעָשִׂ֖֣יתָ כׇּֿל־מְלַאכְתֶּֽךָ֒׃

10but the seventh day is a Shabbat of Hashem your God: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements.

v'-YOM ha-sh'-vee-EE sha-BAT la-a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha lo ta-a-SEH khol m'-la-KHAH a-TAH u-vin-KHA u-vi-TE-kha av-d'-KHA va-a-ma-t'-KHA uv-hem-TE-kha v'-gay-r'-KHA a-SHER bish-a-RE-kha

11For in six days Hashem made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore Hashem blessed the Shabbat day and hallowed it.

12Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that Hashem your God is assigning to you.

14You shall not covet your neighbor's house: you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.

15All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the blare of the shofar and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they fell back and stood at a distance.

16“You speak to us,” they said to Moshe, “and we will obey; but let not Hashem speak to us, lest we die.”

vai-YO-mer-U el mo-SHEH, da-BER a-TAH i-ma-NU v'-nish-ma-AH, v'-al y'-da-BER i-ma-NU e-lo-HIM pen-na-MUT

17Moshe answered the people, “Be not afraid; for Hashem has come only in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may be ever with you, so that you do not go astray.”

vai-YO-mer mo-SHE el ha-AHM: al ti-RA-u, KEE l'-va-a-VUR na-SOT et-KHEM, BA ha-E-lo-HEEM, u-va-a-VUR ti-HE-yeh yir-A-to al p'-NE-khem, l'-vil-TEE te-khe-TA-u

18So the people remained at a distance, while Moshe approached the thick cloud where Hashem was.

19Hashem said to Moshe: Thus shall you say to the Israelites: You yourselves saw that I spoke to you from the very heavens:

vai-YO-mer a-do-NAI el mo-SHEH, KO to-MAR el b'-NAY yis-ra-AYL: a-TEM r'-EE-TEM KEE min ha-sha-MA-yim di-BAR-tee i-ma-KHEM.

20With Me, therefore, you shall not make any gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves any gods of gold.

21Make for Me a mizbayach of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of well-being, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come to you and bless you.

22And if you make for Me a mizbayach of stones, do not build it of hewn stones; for by wielding your tool upon them you have profaned them.
