The implication is that the testimony would be given in court or before a judge. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “And do not lie as you testify”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְ⁠רֵֽעֲ⁠ךָ֖

Here, neighbor means “fellow Israelite.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “against your fellow Israelite”
