1 Entonces Moisés mandó llamar a todo Israel y les dijo: «Escucha, Israel, las leyes y las decisiones que les doy hoy. Presten atención, apréndanlas y tengan cuidado de cumplirlas.
1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 El Señor nuestro Dios hizo un pacto con nosotros en Horeb.
2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 El Señor no hizo este pacto solamente con nuestros padres, sino con nosotros, con todos los que estamos aquí vivos hoy.
3 Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 El Señor les habló cara a cara en el monte, desde el fuego.
4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
5 Yo estaba entre el Señor y ustedes en ese tiempo para comunicarles la palabra del Señor, porque ustedes tenían miedo del fuego y no subieron al monte. El Señor dijo:
5 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you Yahweh’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 “Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te saqué de Egipto, de la casa de esclavitud.
6 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 No tengas otros dioses además de mí.
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
8 No hagas para ti ninguna imagen de lo que hay arriba en el cielo, abajo en la tierra o en las aguas debajo de la tierra.
8 “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
9 No te inclines ante ellas ni las adores. Yo, el Señor tu Dios, soy un Dios celoso que no dará a otro el honor que le pertenece. Castigo a los hijos por la maldad de sus padres hasta la tercera y cuarta generación de los que me odian,
9 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
10 pero muestro misericordia por mil generaciones a los que me aman y guardan mis mandamientos.
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 No uses el nombre del Señor tu Dios con un propósito malo, porque el Señor no considerará inocente al que use su nombre de esa manera.
11 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 Guarda el sábado como día santo, como el Señor tu Dios te ha ordenado.
12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 Durante seis días puedes trabajar y hacer todas tus tareas,
13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
14 pero el séptimo día es sábado para el Señor tu Dios. Ese día no hagas ningún trabajo: ni tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu siervo, ni tu sierva, ni tu buey, ni tu asno, ni ninguno de tus animales, ni el extranjero que viva entre ustedes. Así tu siervo y tu sierva podrán descansar igual que tú.
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto y que el Señor tu Dios te sacó de allí con mano poderosa y brazo extendido. Por esta razón el Señor tu Dios te ordenó guardar el sábado.
15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, como el Señor tu Dios te ha ordenado, para que vivas muchos años y te vaya bien en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te está dando.
16 “Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
17 No mates.
17 “You shall not murder.
18 No cometas adulterio.
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
19 No robes.
19 “You shall not steal.
20 No des falso testimonio contra tu prójimo.
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
21 No desees la esposa de tu prójimo. Tampoco desees su casa, su campo, su siervo, su sierva, su buey, su asno ni ninguna otra cosa que le pertenezca”.
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
22 Estas palabras dijo el Señor a toda la comunidad reunida en el monte, desde el fuego, la nube y la profunda oscuridad, con gran voz. No añadió nada más. Después las escribió en dos tablas de piedra y me las dio.
22 Yahweh spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
23 Cuando ustedes oyeron la voz que salía de la oscuridad mientras el monte ardía en fuego, todos los jefes de sus tribus y sus ancianos vinieron a mí.
23 When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 Dijeron: “El Señor nuestro Dios nos ha permitido ver su gloria y su grandeza, y hemos oído su voz desde el fuego. Hoy hemos visto que una persona puede oír la voz de Dios y seguir con vida.
24 and you said, “Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 Pero ¿por qué debemos morir? Este gran fuego puede consumirnos. Si seguimos oyendo la voz del Señor nuestro Dios, moriremos.
25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear Yahweh our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
26 Porque ¿qué ser humano ha oído, como nosotros, la voz del Dios vivo hablando desde el fuego y ha seguido con vida?
26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Acércate tú y escucha todo lo que diga el Señor nuestro Dios. Después dinos todo lo que él te diga. Nosotros escucharemos y obedeceremos”.
27 Go near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say, and tell us all that Yahweh our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28 Entonces el Señor, al oír sus palabras, me dijo: “He oído las palabras que este pueblo te ha dicho. Todo lo que dijeron está bien.
28 Yahweh heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and Yahweh said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29 ¡Si tan solo tuvieran siempre un corazón dispuesto a temerme y cumplir todos mis mandamientos! Así les iría bien a ellos y a sus hijos para siempre.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 Ahora ve y diles: ‘Regresen a sus tiendas’.
30 “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Pero tú quédate aquí a mi lado, y te daré todos los mandamientos, las leyes y las decisiones que debes enseñarles, para que puedan cumplirlos en la tierra que les voy a dar como herencia”.
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32 Así que tengan cuidado de hacer lo que el Señor su Dios les ha ordenado. No se aparten ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda.
32 You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
33 Sigan siempre el camino que el Señor su Dios les ha ordenado, para que vivan, les vaya bien y tengan una larga vida en la tierra que van a recibir como herencia».
33 You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… expound it; but his meaning is similar to that of Moses, when it is said, "Thou shalt not make to thyself any image for God, of whatsoever things are in heaven above, whatsoever in the earth beneath, and whatsoever in the waters under the earth." And he does thus explain what are meant by the things in heaven: "Lest when," …
For if we attribute them to ourselves, they shall be servile; for it is said of the Sabbath, "Ye shall do no servile work in it." Wherefore also it is said by Ezekiel the prophet, "And I gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctify …

As Moses says in Deuteronomy, "These are all the words which the Lord spake to the whole assembly of the sons of Israel on the mount, and He added no more; and He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me." For this reason [He did so], that they who are willing to follow Him might …
For it is written in the Law, "Thou shalt not bear false witness;" and it is written in the Law, "All men are liars." Recur then to that which I just lately suggested, when I defined in words as best I could the "meek" man.
