1 Entonces Moisés convocó a todo Israel y les dijo: ¡Escucha, Israel, los Estatutos y Ordenanzas que yo proclamo hoy a sus oídos para que los aprendan y los practiquen!
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 Yavé nuestro ʼElohim hizo un Pacto con nosotros en Horeb.
2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 No fue con nuestros antepasados con quienes Yavé hizo este Pacto, sino con nosotros, los que hoy estamos aquí, todos vivos.
3 Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Cara a cara Yavé habló con ustedes en la Montaña, desde en medio del fuego.
4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
5 Yo mediaba en aquel tiempo entre ustedes y Yavé para ponerles delante la Palabra de Yavé, porque temieron a causa del fuego y no subieron a la montaña. Y [Él] 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 Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien te sacó de tierra 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 tendrás otros ʼelohim delante de Mí.
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
8 No te harás imagen ni alguna semejanza de lo que esté arriba en el cielo, o 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 postrarás ante ellas ni les servirás, porque Yo soy Yavé tu ʼElohim, ʼElohim celoso, que visito la iniquidad de los padres sobre los hijos hasta la tercera y la cuarta [generación] de los que me aborrecen,
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 hago misericordia con millares de 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 tomarás el Nombre de Yavé tu ʼElohim en vano, porque Yavé no tendrá como inocente al que tome su Nombre en vano.
11 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 Guardarás el día sábado para santificarlo, tal como Yavé tu ʼElohim te ordenó.
12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 Seis días trabajarás y harás toda tu obra,
13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
14 pero el séptimo es sábado consagrado a Yavé tu ʼElohim. No harás ninguna labor, ni tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tu buey, ni tu asno, ni ningún otro animal tuyo, ni el extranjero que habita en tus ciudades para que puedan descansar tu esclavo y tu esclava, así como 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 Pues recuerda que fuiste esclavo en tierra de Egipto, y que Yavé tu ʼElohim te sacó de allá con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, por lo cual Yavé tu ʼElohim te manda guardar el día 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 Yavé tu ʼElohim te ordenó, para que se prolonguen tus días y te vaya bien en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da.
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 asesinarás.
17 “You shall not murder.
18 No adulterarás.
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
19 No robarás.
19 “You shall not steal.
20 No dirás falso testimonio contra tu prójimo.
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
21 No codiciarás la esposa de tu prójimo, ni desearás la casa de tu prójimo, ni su campo, ni su esclavo, ni su esclava, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni cosa alguna que pertenece a tu prójimo.
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 Yavé habló a gran voz a toda su congregación en la Montaña, desde en medio del fuego, la nube y la densa oscuridad, y no añadió más. Las escribió sobre 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 Sucedió que cuando ustedes oyeron la voz desde en medio de la oscuridad, mientras la Montaña ardía con fuego, todos los jefes de sus tribus y sus ancianos se acercaron 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 y dijeron: Mira, Yavé nuestro ʼElohim nos mostró su gloria y su grandeza. Oímos su voz desde en medio del fuego. Hoy vimos que ʼElohim habla con el hombre, sin embargo éste vive.
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 moriremos? Pues este gran fuego nos devorará. Si continuamos oyendo la voz de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, 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 ¿cuál es el hombre que oyó la voz del ʼElohim vivo que habla desde en medio del fuego, como nosotros la oímos, y aún vivimos?
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 Yavé nuestro ʼElohim diga. Dinos todo lo que Yavé nuestro ʼElohim te dice, y nosotros escucharemos y lo haremos.
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 Yavé escuchó las palabras de ustedes mientras me hablaban y me dijo: Escuché las palabras que te habló este pueblo. Está bien todo lo que dijeron.
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 ¡Oh si ellos tuvieran tal corazón que me temieran y guardaran siempre mis Mandamientos para que les vaya 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 Vé y diles: Regresen a sus tiendas.
30 “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Pero tú permanece aquí conmigo y te diré todos los Mandamientos, Estatutos y Ordenanzas que les enseñarás para que los cumplan en la tierra que Yo les doy como posesión.
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 cuidarán de hacer como Yavé su ʼElohim les ordenó. No se apartarán 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 Andarán por todo el camino que Yavé su ʼElohim les ordenó para que vivan y les vaya bien, y prolonguen los días en la tierra que van a poseer.
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 …

… us honour also the fathers of our flesh: since the Lord Himself hath evidently so appointed in the Law and the Prophets, saying, Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and thy days shall be long in the land.

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.
