1 Dios le dijo al pueblo de Israel:
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
2 «Yo soy el Señor tu Dios que te sacó de Egipto, donde eras esclavo.
2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 »No tendrás otros dioses además de mí.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
4 »No te harás ídolos ni imágenes de nada que esté en el cielo, en la tierra o en lo profundo del mar.
4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 No te inclinarás delante de ninguna imagen ni la adorarás, porque yo, el Señor tu Dios, soy muy celoso, y no compartiré con otros dioses la honra que me pertenece. Cuando castigo a alguien por sus pecados, el castigo alcanza a sus hijos, a sus nietos y a sus bisnietos.
5 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, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 Pero derramo mi amor sobre millares de generaciones de los que me aman y obedecen mis mandamientos.
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 »No usarás el nombre del Señor tu Dios en vano ni en forma irreverente. No dejaré sin castigo a quien se atreva a usar mi nombre sin el debido respeto.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 »Acuérdate de observar el día de reposo, es decir, el sábado, como día santo.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Seis días de la semana son para los quehaceres cotidianos y el trabajo regular.
9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,
10 Pero el séptimo día es día de reposo delante del Señor tu Dios. Ese día no harán trabajo de ninguna clase tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tus esclavos, ni tus huéspedes, ni tus animales,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
11 porque en seis días hizo el Señor los cielos, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que en ellos hay, y reposó el séptimo día. Por eso bendijo el día de reposo y lo santificó.
11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
12 »Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que tengas una vida larga y buena en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
13 »No matarás.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 »No cometerás adulterio.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 »No robarás.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 »No darás un testimonio falso en contra de tu prójimo.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 »No codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo: no codiciarás la mujer de tu prójimo, ni su esclavo, ni su buey, ni su burro, ni ninguna otra cosa que le pertenezca».
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
18 Todos los israelitas vieron los relámpagos y el humo que subía del monte, y oyeron los truenos y el toque de la trompeta, y se quedaron lejos, temblando de miedo.
18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
19 Y le dijeron a Moisés: ―Dinos lo que Dios diga, y nosotros obedeceremos. Pero que no nos hable Dios en forma directa, pues moriremos.
19 They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 ―No teman —les dijo Moisés—, porque Dios se ha presentado de esta manera para probarlos, de modo que de aquí en adelante tengan temor de pecar en su contra.
20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Mientras el pueblo permanecía a una distancia prudente, Moisés volvió a entrar en la nube donde estaba Dios.
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 Y el Señor le dijo a Moisés que les comunicara a los israelitas lo siguiente: «Ustedes son testigos de que les he dado a conocer mi voluntad desde el cielo.
22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Recuerden que no deben adorar ídolos, ya sean de plata, de oro o de algún otro material.
23 You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
24 Los altares que hagan para mí deben ser sencillos altares de tierra. Sobre ellos me ofrecerán sus sacrificios, sus holocaustos y sus ofrendas pacíficas de ovejas y bueyes. Yo iré al lugar donde les pida que invoquen mi nombre, y los bendeciré allí.
24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
25 También pueden edificar altares de piedra, pero solamente con piedras sin tallar. No golpearán las piedras con ningún tipo de herramienta para labrarlas, porque eso las profanaría y no servirían para mi altar.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Y no harán gradas para subir a mi altar; para que no se les vea la desnudez.
26 You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’

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).
… second time: "And ye have made void the word of God by reason of your tradition;" Christ confessing in the plainest manner Him to be Father and God, who said in the law, "Honour thy father and mother; that it may be well with thee."
