Exodus 20

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 Then God spoke al these words. He said,	1 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ.
2 'I am Yahweh your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you lived as slaves.	2 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ̇. ܕܐܣܩܬܟ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ. ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܒܕܘܬܐ.
3 'You shal have no other gods to rival me.	3 ܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܢ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܝ.
4 'You shal not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earthbeneath or in the waters under the earth.	4 ܠܐ ܬܥܒ̇ܕ ܠܟ ܟܠ ܨܠܡ ܘܟܠ ܕܡܘ̇. ܕܐܝܬ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܠܬܚܬ̇. ܘܕܐܝܬ ܒܡ̈ܝܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ.
5 'You shal not bow down to them or serve them. For I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God and Ipunish a parent's fault in the children, the grandchildren, and the great-grandchildren among those who hate me;	5 ܠܐ ܬܣܓܘܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܦܠܘܚ ܐܢܘܢ . ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܐܠܗܐ ܛܢܢܐ. ܦܪܥ̇ ܚ̈ܘܒܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ. ܥܠ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܐ ܕܪ̈ܝܢ ܠܣ̈ܢܐܝ.
6 but I act with faithful love towards thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.	6 ܘܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܕܕܪ̈ܐ. ܠܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܘܠܢܛܪ̈ܝ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ.
7 'You shal not misuse the name of Yahweh your God, for Yahweh wil not leave unpunished anyonewho misuses his name.	7 ܠܐ ܬܐܡܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܙ̇ܟܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܡܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ.
8 'Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.	8 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܩܕܫܘܬܗ.
9 For six days you shal labour and do al your work,	9 ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܬܦܠܘܚ ܘܬܥܒ̇ܕ ܟܠ ܥܒ̇ܕܟ.
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath for Yahweh your God. You shal do no work that day, neither younor your son nor your daughter nor your servants, men or women, nor your animals nor the alien living with you.	10 ܘܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܝܥܝܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܠܐ ܬܥ̇ܒܕ ܟܠ ܥܒ̇ܕ. ܐܢܬ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܒܪܬܟ ܘܥܒ̣ܕܟ ܘܐܡܬܟ. ܘܒܥܝܪܟ ܘܬܘܬܒܟ ܕܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܟ̇.
11 For in six days Yahweh made the heavens, earth and sea and al that these contain, but on theseventh day he rested; that is why Yahweh has blessed the Sabbath day and made it sacred.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܫܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܥܒ̣ܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ. ܘܝܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ. ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܝܥܝܐ. ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒ̇ܪܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܝܥܝܐ ܘܩܕܫܗ.
12 'Honour your father and your mother so that you may live long in the land that Yahweh your God isgiving you.	12 ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡ̣ܟ. ܕܢ̣ܣܓܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܟ . ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܝܗ̇ܒ ܠܟ.
13 'You shal not kil .	13 ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ.
14 'You shal not commit adultery.	14 ܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ.
15 'You shal not steal.	15 ܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ.
16 'You shal not give false evidence against your neighbour.	16 ܠܐ ܬܣܗ̣ܕ ܒܚܒܪܟ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ.
17 'You shal not set your heart on your neighbour's house. You shal not set your heart on yourneighbour's spouse, or servant, man or woman, or ox, or donkey, or any of your neighbour's possessions.'	17 ܠܐ ܬܪܓ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܚܒܪܟ. ܠܐ ܬܪܓ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܚܒܪܟ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕܗ ܘܐܡܬܗ ܘܬܘܪܗ ܘܚܡܪܗ. ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܚܒܪܟ.
18 Seeing the thunder pealing, the lightning flashing, the trumpet blasting and the mountain smoking,the people were al terrified and kept their distance.	18 ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܚ̇ܙܝܢ ܩ̈ܠܐ ܘܠܡܦܐ̈ܕܐ. ܘܩܠܐ ܕܩܪܢܐ ܘܛܘܪܐ ܕܬܐܢ. ܘܚܙܘ ܥܡܐ ܘܕܚ̣ܠܘ. ܘܩܡܘ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ.
19 'Speak to us yourself,' they said to Moses, 'and we wil obey; but do not let God speak to us, or weshall die.'	19 ܘܐܡ̣ܪܘ ܠܡܘܫܐ. ܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܥܡܢ ܘܢܫܡܥ. ܘܠܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ.
20 Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid; God has come to test you, so that your fear of him, beingalways in your mind, may keep you from sinning.'	20 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܠܡܢܣܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܬ̣ܐ ܐܠܗܐ. ܘܡܛܠ ܕܬܗ̣ܘܐ ܕܚܠܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܐ̈ܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܬܚܛܘܢ.
21 So the people kept their distance while Moses approached the dark cloud where God was.	21 ܘܩܡܘ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ. ܘܡܘܫܐ ܩ̣ܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܦܠܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ.
22 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Tel the Israelites this, "You have seen for yourselves how I have spoken toyou from heaven.	22 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܘܫܐ. ܗܟܢܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ. ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ. ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܡ̇ܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ.
23 You must not make gods of silver to rival me, nor must you make yourselves gods of gold.	23 ܠܐ ܬܥ̇ܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܝ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ. ܘܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܕܣܐܡܐ ܠܐ ܬܥ̇ܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ.
24 "You must make me an altar of earth on which to sacrifice your burnt offerings and communionsacrifices, your sheep and cattle. Wherever I choose to have my name remembered, I shal come to you andbless you.	24 ܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܐܕܡܬܐ ܬܥ̇ܒܕ ܠܝ. ܘܬܕܒ̇ܚ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܟ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܝܟ. ܘܥܢܟ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܝܟ. ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܕܬܕܟܪ ܫܡܝ. ܐ̇ܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܒܪܟܟ.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, do not build it of dressed stones; for if you use a chisel on it, youwil profane it.	25 ܘܐܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܬܥ̇ܒܕ ܠܝ. ܠܐ ܬܒܢܝܘܗܝ ܒܦܣܝܠܬܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܐܢܝܦ̣ܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܛܘܫܬܝܗܝ.
26 You must not go up to my altar by steps, in case you expose your nakedness on them." '	26 ܘܠܐ ܬܣܩ ܒܕܪ̈ܓܐ ܠܡܕܒܚܝ. ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܦܘܪܣ̇ܝܟ ܥܠܘܗܝ.
