5:1 The ten rules

5 Then Mosheh (Moses) summoned all Yisrael and told them, “Yisrael, listen to the instructions and the regulations that I will speak in your ears today, and then you must learn them and be careful to follow them. 2 Our god Yahweh made an agreement with us at Horev (Mt. Sinai). 3 He didn’t make that agreement with our ancestors, but with us ourselves—those of us here today, i.e., with living people. 4 Yahweh spoke to you from the middle of the fire—face to face with you all on that mountain. 5 Well, it was me who stood between all of you and Yahweh at that time, to reveal Yahweh’s message to you, because you were afraid to approach the fire, and you all didn’t go up the mountain. Yahweh said:

6 ‘I am your god Yahweh who brought you all out of Egypt—from the slave-house there.

7 Don’t have any other god, other than me.
8 Don’t carve any figure for yourself that looks like anything in the sky or on the ground, or in the water below the ground.[ref]

9 Don’t bow down to them or serve them, because I, your god Yahweh, am a jealous god. I’ll punish the descendants of those who hate me, even for three or four generations,[ref]

10 but showing loyal commitment to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my instructions.
11 Don’t use the name of your god Yahweh idly, because I won’t fail to punish people who do that.
12 Observe the Rest Day on Saturday to sanctify it, as your god Yahweh commanded you.[ref]

13 There’s six days for labouring and doing all your work,

14 but the seventh day is a rest day dedicated to your god Yahweh. Don’t do any work on that day: not you or your children or your slaves, or using any of your cattle, nor any foreigner living with you—your slaves can rest like you.

15 Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that your god Yahweh took action and used my power to take you out of there. Therefore your god Yahweh commands you to keep the Rest Day.
16 Honour your father and mother as your god Yahweh has commanded you, so that you’ll have a long life and so that everything will go well in the country that your god Yahweh is giving you.[ref]
17 Don’t murder anyone.
18 Don’t commit adultery.
19 Don’t steal anything.
20 Don’t tell lies in court about anyone.
21 Don’t covet your neighbour’s spouse, or their house or land, or their slaves or livestock, or anything else that they own.’[ref]

22 Yahweh spoke those words in a booming voice from the middle of the fire, the cloud, and the gloom, to all your assembly on the mountain. That was all he said, and he wrote those instructions on two stone tablets and gave them to me.[ref]

5 and_ Mosheh _he/it _called (to) all _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_he/it _said to_them hear Oh _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) DOM the_regulations and_DOM the_judgements which I am_speaking in_ears _of_your(pl) the_day and_you(pl)_will _learn DOM_them and_you(pl)_will _take _care to_observe_them.

2 YHWH god _of_our he _made with_us a _covenant at_Ḩorēⱱ.

3 Not with ancestors _of_our YHWH he _made DOM the_covenant (the)_this if/because with_us we these here the_day of _us _of_all alive.

4 Face on_face YHWH he _spoke with_you(pl) at_mountain from_the _middle _of the _fire.

5 I was_standing between YHWH and_between_you(pl) at_time the_that to_announce to/for_you(pl) DOM the _message _of YHWH if/because you(pl)_were _afraid from_face/in _front _of the_fire and_not you(pl)_went _up on_mountain to_say.

6 I am_YHWH god _of_your who I_brought _you _out from_the _land _of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from_a _house _of[fn] slaves[fn].

7 Not it _will _belong to/for_yourself(m)[fn] gods[fn] other[fn] on face _of_my[fn].

8 Not you _must _make to/for_yourself(m)[fn] an _image _of[fn] any _of form[fn] which[fn] is_in_heavens[fn] (from)_above[fn] and_which[fn] on _the_earth[fn] (from)_beneath[fn] and_which is_in_waters[fn] from_under[fn] to_earth[fn].

9 Not you _must _bow _down[fn] to/for_them[fn] and_not you_must _be _enticed _to _serve _them[fn] if/because I YHWH god _of_your am_a _god jealous who_visits the_iniquity _of fathers on children and_on a _third _generation and_on a _fourth _generation of_those _of_who_hate _me[fn].

10 And_who_does[fn] covenant _loyalty[fn] to_thousands[fn] of_those _of_who_love _me and_of_those _who_keep _of commands _of_(of)_my[fn].

11 not you _must _take DOM the _name _of YHWH god _of_your for_emptiness if/because not YHWH he _will _leave _unpunished DOM one_who he _will _take DOM his/its_name for_emptiness.

12 keep[fn] DOM the _day _of[fn] of_the _sabbath[fn][fn][fn][fn] to_set_it _apart _as _holy[fn] just_as he_commanded _you[fn] YHWH[fn] god _of_your[fn].
[fn]

13 six _of[fn] days[fn] you _will _labour[fn] and_you _will _do[fn] all _of[fn] work _of_your[fn].

14 And_the_day _of the_seventh[fn] is_a _sabbath[fn] to/for_YHWH[fn] god _of_your[fn] not you _must _do any _of work you and_son _of_your and_daughter _of_your and_your_male_of_servant and_your _female _of_servant and_ox _of_your and_donkey _of_your and_all livestock _of_your and_sojourner _of_your who is_in_gates _of_your so _that he _may _rest servant _of_your_male and_your _female _of_servant like_you[fn].

15 And_you _will _remember[fn] if/because _that a _slave[fn] you _were[fn] in_land of _Miʦrayim/(Egypt)[fn] and_he_brought _you _out[fn] YHWH[fn] god _of_your[fn] from_there[fn] by_a _hand[fn] strong[fn] and_by_an _arm outstretched[fn] therefore yes/correct/thus/so he_has _commanded _you YHWH god _of_your for_doing DOM the _day _of the _sabbath.
[fn][fn][fn]

16 honour DOM I _will _show_you(ms) and_DOM mother _of_your just_as he_has _commanded _you YHWH god _of_your so _that they_may _be _long days _of_your and_so _that it _may _go _well to/for_you(fs) on the_soil which YHWH god _of_your is_about _to _give to/for_you(fs).

17 not[fn] you _must _murder[fn].

18 and_not[fn] you _must _commit _adultery[fn].

19 and_not[fn] you _must _steal[fn].

20 and_not you _must _testify against_neighbour _of_your transcript _of worthlessness.
