וּמַלִיל יְיָ יָת כָּל פִּתְגָמַיָא הָאִלֵין לְמֵימָר:
Elohim spoke all these words, saying:
אֲנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ דִי אַפֵּיקְתָּךְ מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עַבְדוּתָא:
I am Adonoy, your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves [slavery].
לָא יְהֵי לָךְ אֱלָהּ אָחֳרָן בַּר מִנִי:
You must not have any other gods before My Presence [besides Me].
לָא תַעְבֵּד לָךְ צְלֵם וְכָל דְמוּת דִי בִשְׁמַיָא מִלְעֵלָא וְדִי בְאַרְעָא מִלְרָע וְדִי בְמַיָא מִלְרַע לְאַרְעָא:
You must not make for yourself any carved image, or picture of anything that is in the heaven above, or on the earth below, or in the water below the earth.
לָא תִסְגֻד לְהוֹן וְלָא תִפְלְחִנוּן אֲרֵי אֲנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ אֵל קַנָא מַסְעַר חוֹבֵי אֲבָהָן עַל בְּנִין מָרָדִין עַל דַר תְּלִיתַי וְעַל דַר רְבִיעַי לְשָׂנְאָי כַּד מְשַׁלְמִין בְּנַיָא לְמֶחֱטֵי בָּתַר אֲבָהָתְהוֹן:
You must not prostrate yourself to them, and you must not worship them. For I, Adonoy your God, am a jealous Almighty. I am cognizant of the sins of fathers for [their] [rebellious] children, to the third and fourth [generations] of My enemies [when the children complete the sinning after their fathers].
וְעָבֵד טִיבוּ לְאַלְפֵי דָרִין לְרַחֲמַי וּלְנָטְרֵי פִקוֹדָי:
But I do [acts of] loving kindness [goodness] for thousands [of generations] to those who love Me and preserve My commandments.
לָא תֵימֵי בִּשְׁמָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לְמַגָנָא אֲרֵי לָא יִזַכֵּי יְיָ יָת דִיֵימֵי בִשְׁמֵהּ לְשִׁקְרָא:
Do not take [swear in] the Name of Adonoy, your God in vain. For Adonoy will not acquit the one who takes [swears in] His Name in vain [falsely].
הֲוֵי דְכִיר יָת יוֹמָא דְשַׁבְּתָא לְקַדָשׁוּתֵהּ:
Remember the Shabbos day to sanctify it.
שִׁתָּא יוֹמִין תִּפְלָח וְתַעְבֵּד כָּל עִבִדְתָּךְ:
You may work six days, and do all your work.
וְיוֹמָא שְׁבִיעָאָה שַׁבְּתָא קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לָא תַעְבֵּד כָּל עִבִדְתָּא אַתְּ וּבְרָךְ וּבְרַתָּךְ עַבְדָךְ וְאַמְתָךְ וּבְעִירָךְ וְגִיוֹרָךְ דִי בְקִרְוָךְ:
But the seventh day is Shabbos to [before] Adonoy, your God. You must not do any manner of work—you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner within your gates.
אֲרֵי שִׁתָּא יוֹמִין עֲבַד יְיָ יָת שְׁמַיָא וְיָת אַרְעָא יָת יַמָא וְיָת כָּל דִי בְהוֹן וְנָח בְּיוֹמָא שְׁבִיעָאָה עַל כֵּן בָּרִיךְ יְיָ יָת יוֹמָא דְשַׁבְּתָא וְקַדְשֵׁהּ:
For in six days Adonoy made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore Adonoy blessed the Shabbos and made it holy.
יַקַר יָת אָבוּךְ וְיָת אִמָךְ בְּדִיל דְיוֹרְכוּן יוֹמָיךְ עַל אַרְעָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ יָהֵב לָךְ:
Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be lengthened upon the land that Adonoy, your God, is giving you.
לָא תִקְטוֹל נְפָשׁ לָא תְגוּף לָא תִגְנוּב לָא תַסְהֵד בְּחַבְרָךְ סָהֲדוּתָא דְשִׁקְרָא:
Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal [by kidnapping human beings]. Do not testify as a false witness [testimony] against your neighbor.
לָא תַחְמֵד בֵּית חַבְרָךְ לָא תַחְמֵד אִתַּת חַבְרָךְ וְעַבְדֵהּ וְאַמְתֵהּ וְתוֹרֵהּ וַחֲמָרֵהּ וְכֹל דִי לְחַבְרָךְ:
Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.
וְכָל עַמָא חָזָן יָת קָלַיָא וְיָת בָּעוֹרַיָא וְיָת קַל שׁוֹפָרָא וְיָת טוּרָא תָּנֵן וַחֲזָא עַמָא וְזָעוּ וְקָמוּ מֵרָחִיק:
All the people saw the sounds, the flames, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain emitting smoke. The people saw [all this] and they trembled, and stood far off.
וַאֲמָרוּ לְמשֶׁה מַלֵל אַתְּ עִמָנָא וּנְקַבֵּל וְלָא יִתְמַלֵל עִמָנָא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ דִילְמָא נְמוּת:
They said to Moshe, “You speak to us and we will listen [obey]. Let [it not be spoken to us from before] Elohim not speak with us [anymore] lest we die.”
וַאֲמַר משֶׁה לְעַמָא לָא תִדְחֲלוּן אֲרֵי בְּדִיל לְנַסָאָה יָתְכוֹן אִתְגְלִי לְכוֹן יְקָרָא דַיְיָ וּבְדִיל דִתְהֵי דַחַלְתֵּהּ עַל אַפֵּיכוֹן בְּדִיל דְלָא תְחוּבוּן:
Moshe said to the people, “Do not be afraid. It was to exalt [test] you that [the Glory of] Elohim [became revealed to you] came [in this manner], so that the fear of Him be on your faces that you not sin.”
וְקָם עַמָא מֵרָחִיק וּמשֶׁה קָרֵב לְצַד אַמִיטְתָא דִתַמָן יְקָרָא דַיְיָ:
The people stood far off. Moshe drew near to the dense cloud where [the Glory of] [the Divine Presence of] God was.
וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמשֶׁה כִּדְנַן תֵּימַר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַתּוּן חֲזִיתּוּן אֲרֵי מִן שְׁמַיָא מַלֵילִית עִמְכוֹן:
Adonoy said to Moshe, “This is what you must say to the Bnei Yisrael. ‘You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
לָא תַעְבְּדוּן קֳדָמָי דַחֲלָן דִכְסַף וְדַחֲלָן דִדְהַב לָא תַעְבְּדוּן לְכוֹן:
Do not make[an image of anything that is] with [before] Me, gods of silver or gods of gold you must not make for yourselves.
מַדְבַּח אַדְמְתָא תַּעְבֵּד קֳדָמַי וּתְהֵי דַבָּח עֲלוֹהִי יָת עֲלָוָתָךְ וְיָת נִכְסַת קוּדְשָׁךְ מִן עָנָךְ וּמִן תּוֹרָךְ בְּכָל אַתְרָא דִי אַשְׁרֵי יָת שְׁכִנְתִּי לְתַמָן אֶשְׁלַח בִּרְכְּתִי לָךְ וֶאֱבָרֵכִנָךְ:
Make an earthen altar for [before] Me and slaughter your burnt-offerings near it, your peace-offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place wherever I permit My Name to be mentioned [rest My Shechina], I will come [there I will send my blessing] to you and bless you.
וְאִם מַדְבַּח אַבְנִין תַּעְבֵּד קֳדָמַי לָא תִבְנֵי יָתְהוֹן פְּסִילָן דִלְמָא תְרִים חַרְבָּךְ עֲלַהּ וּתְחַלְלִנַהּ:
When you build a stone altar for [before] Me, do not build it out of hewn stone, lest you lift your sword on it, you will [therewith] have profaned it.
וְלָא תִסַק בְּדַרְגִין עַל מַדְבְּחִי דִי לָא תִתְגְלֵי עֶרְיְתָךְ עֲלוֹהִי:
Do not go up to My altar with steps, so that your nakedness not be revealed on it.’”
