Deuteronomy 5:12-24 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

12. `Observe the day of the sabbath--to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;

13. six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,

14. and the seventh day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates; so that thy manservant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself;

15. and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.

16. `Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, so that thy days are prolonged, and so that it is well with thee, on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

17. `Thou dost not murder.

18. `Thou dost not commit adultery.

19. `Thou dost not steal.

20. `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour--a false testimony.

21. `Thou dost not desire thy neighbour's wife; nor dost thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, and his man-servant, and his handmaid, his ox, and his ass, and anything which [is] thy neighbour's.

22. `These words hath Jehovah spoken unto all your assembly, in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness--a great voice; and He hath not added, and He writeth them on two tables of stone, and giveth them unto me.

23. `And it cometh to pass as ye hear the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and of the mountain burning with fire, that ye come near unto me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders,

24. and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man--and he hath lived.
