Exodus 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 And the Lord spoke all these words:	1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 “I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.	2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You shall not have strange gods before me.	3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which are in the waters under the earth.	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 You shall not adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,	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 showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my precepts.	6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.	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 that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.	8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.	9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates.	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, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified it.	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 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.	12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 You shall not murder.	13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 You shall not commit adultery.	14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.	15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 You shall not speak false testimony against your neighbor.	16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”	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 Then all the people considered the voices, and the lights, and the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain. And being terrified and struck with fear, they stood at a distance,	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 saying to Moses: “Speak to us, and we will listen. Let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we may die.”	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 to the people: “Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.”	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 far away. But Moses approached toward the mist, in which was God.	21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: “This you shall say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.	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 You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.	23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24 You shall make an altar from the earth for me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace-offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be. I will come to you, and I will bless you.	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 you make an altar of stone for me, you shall not build it from cut stones; for if you lift up a tool over it, it will be defiled.	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 You shall not ascend by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be revealed.”	26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
