OET (OET-RV) I’m your God Yahweh, who rescued you[fn] from where you were enslaved in Egypt.
20:2 Although modern English doesn’t easily distinguish it, this discourse is addressed to singular ‘you’, i.e., to the Israelis as one group. While some of our modern, individualistic cultures might naturally interpret these rules as applying to individuals, they were given to Israel to implement at a national level.

(I I_am Master God tuus, who eduxi you(sg) about earth/land Ægypti, about domo servitutis.)
20.2 Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus. ORIG., hom. 8 in Exod. Qui contemnit præsens sæculum, scilicet Ægyptum, et per verbum Dei translatus non invenitur quia ad futurum sæculum festinet, de eo dicit Deus: Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, etc. Non ad illos tantum qui de Ægypto profecti sunt, sed ad eos qui ultra Ægyptiis non serviunt, de Ægypto educti de domo servitutis Psal. 80.. Negotia sæculi, actus carnis, domus servitutis est: sicut relinquere sæcularia, et secundum Deum vivere, domus libertatis est. Unde Joan. 8: Si permanseritis in sermone meo, agnoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos. Ergo Ægyptus est domus servitutis; Judæa et Hierusalem, domus liberalitatis. Unde Gal. 4: Quæ sursum est Hierusalem, libera est. Sicut ergo terrena Ægyptus filiis Isræl domus dicitur servitutis ad comparationem Judææ et Hierusalem, quæ eis est domus libertatis: ita ad comparationem cœlestis Hierusalem, quæ est mater libertatis, totus mundus et quæ in eo sunt, domus dicitur servitutis: et quia de paradiso libertatis per peccatum ventum est ad servitutem mundi, primus sermo decalogi de libertate est: Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te terra Ægypti, etc.; hanc vocem in Ægypto audire non poteris. Et si tibi injungatur ut facias pascha, accingas lumbos, accipias sandalia in pedibus, virgam teneas in manu, et azyma cum amaritudine comedas. Sed nec in prima mansione, nec in secunda, nec in tertia, nec cum transieris mare Rubrum, etiamsi ad mare veneris, et fuerit tibi amaritudo in dulcedinem versa, nec in Elim, ubi erant duodecim fontes aquarum et septuaginta arbores palmarum, etiamsi Raphidim præterieris cæterosque profectus ascenderis, nondum idoneus judicaris, sed cum veneris ad montem Sina. Vix ergo mereberis aliquando suscipere præcepta libertatis, et audire: Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Hic tamen non est sermo mandati, sed quis sit qui mandat ostendit. Primum mandatum ergo est: Non erunt tibi dii alii præter me. AUG. quæst. in Exod. Quæritur quomodo decem præcepta legis dividenda sint? etc., usque nisi ad id quod dictum est: Non erunt tibi dii alii præter me? ISID. Dat Deus Moysi legem innocentiæ nostræ, et agnitionis suæ, quæ in decem verbis consistit, scripta in tabulis lapideis digito Dei. Tria sunt quæ pertinent ad dilectionem et cognitionem Trinitatis, septem ad dilectionem proximi, quibus humana societas non læditur. Primum pertinet ad Deum Patrem: Dominus Deus tuus Deus unus est, ut hoc audiens unum Deum colas Patrem, et in multos fictos deos fornicationem non effundas. Secundum ad Filium: Non assumes nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum; id est, non putes creaturam esse Christum Dei Filium, quia omnis creatura vanitati subjecta est, sed æqualem Patri, Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine.

BRN I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
BrLXX ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, ὅστις ἐξήγαγόν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας.
(egō eimi Kurios ho Theos sou, hostis exaʸgagon se ek gaʸs Aiguptou, ex oikou douleias. )
20:2 This sentence corresponds to the preamble in the ancient covenant format. It gives the historical setting that makes such an agreement between two parties both possible and reasonable. We are told that the Lord your God was offering the covenant. It was not some unknown deity that offered this special relationship, but the God of Israel’s ancestors who had revealed his power and his care directly to them. Furthermore, that revelation was an act of gracious rescue on their behalf, demonstrating that he is the only God.

out_of,house slavery
Yahweh speaks of Egypt as if it were a house where people keep slaves. See how you translated this in Exodus 13:3. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the place where you were slaves”
