chapter 5
1
And
Moses called all Israel, and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the ceremonies and
judgments, which I speak in your ears this day: learn them, and fulfil them in
work.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 He made not the covenant with our fathers, but with
us, who are now present and living.
4 He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the
midst of fire.
5 I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you
at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up
into the mountain, and he said:
6 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage
7 Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.
8 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor
the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth
beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth.
9 Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve
them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that
hate me,
10 And shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that
love me, and keep my commandments.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in
vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing.
12 Observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it, as
the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy
works.
14 The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the
rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son
nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy
ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy
manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself.
15 Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and
the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a
stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe
the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God
hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with
thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 And thou shalt not steal.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy
neighbour.
21 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife: nor his
house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor any thing that is his.
22 These words the Lord spoke to all the multitude of
you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the
darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two
tables of stone, which he delivered unto me.
23 But you, after you heard the voice out of the midst
of the darkness, and saw the mountain burn, came to me, all the princes of the
tribes and the elders, and you said:
24 Behold the Lord our God hath shewn us his majesty
and his greatness, we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire, and
have proved this day that God speaking with man, man hath lived.
25 Why shall we die therefore, and why shall this
exceeding great Are consume us: for if we hear the voice of the Lord our God
any more, we shall die.
26 What is all flesh, that it should hear the voice of
the living God, who speaketh out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard,
and be able to live?
27 Approach thou rather: and hear all things that the
Lord our God shall say to thee, and thou shalt speak to us, and we will hear
and will do them.
28 And when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: I
have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to thee:
they have spoken all things well.
29 Who shall give them to have such a mind, to fear me,
and to keep all my commandments at all times, that it may be well with them and
with their children for ever?
30 Go and say to them: Return into your tents.
31 But stand thou here with me, and I will speak to
thee all my commandments, and ceremonies and judgments: which thou shalt teach
them, that they may do them in the land, which I will give them for a
possession.
32 Keep therefore and do the things which the Lord God
hath commanded you: you shall not go aside neither to the right hand, nor to
the left.
33 But you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God
hath commanded, that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days
may be long in the land of your possession.
