1. 1

   וּקְרָא מֹשֶׁה לְכָל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַאֲמַר לְהוֹן שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יָת קְיָמַיָא וְיָת דִינַיָא דִי אֲנָא מְמַלֵל קֳדָמֵיכוֹן יוֹמָא דֵין וְתַלְפוּן יָתְהוֹן וְתִטְרוּן לְמֶעְבָּדְהוֹן

   Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.

2. 2

   יְיָ אֱלָהָנָא גְזַר עִמָנָא קְיָם בְּחֹרֵב

   The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

3. 3

   לָא עִם אֲבְהָתָנָא גְזַר יְיָ יָת קְיָמָא הָדָא אֶלָהֵן עִמָנָא אֲנַחְנָא אִלֵין הָכָא יוֹמָא דֵין כֻּלָנָא קַיָמִין

   He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.

4. 4

   מַמְלָל עִם מַמְלָל מַלִיל יְיָ עִמְכוֹן בְּטוּרָא מִגוֹ אֶשָׁתָא

   The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

5. 5

   אֲנָא הֲוֵיתִי קָאֵם בֵּין מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ וּבֵינֵיכוֹן בְּעִדָנָא הַהִיא לְחַוָאָה לְכוֹן יָת פִּתְגָמָא דַיְיָ אֲרֵי דְחֶלְתּוּן מִקֳדָם אֵשָׁתָא וְלָא סְלֶקְתּוּן בְּטוּרָא לְמֵימָר

   At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:

6. 6

   אֲנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ דִי אַפֵּקְתָּךְ מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עֲבְדוּתָא

   “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

7. 7

   לָא יְהֵא לָךְ אֱלָהּ אָחָרָן בַּר מִנִי

   You shall have no other gods before Me.

8. 8

   לָא תַעְבֵּד לָךְ צֶלֶם כָּל דְמוּת דִי בִשְׁמַיָא מִלְעֵלָא וְדִי בְאַרְעָא מִלְרָע וְדִי בְמַיָא מִלְרַע לְאַרְעָא

   You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

9. 9

   לָא תִסְגוּד לְהוֹן וְלָא תִפְלְחִנוּן אֲרֵי אֲנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ אֵל קַנָא מַסְעַר חוֹבֵי אֲבָהָן עַל בְּנִין מְרָדִין עַל דַר תְּלִיתַי וְעַל דַר רְבִיעַי לְשַׂנְאָי כַּד מְשַׁלְמִין בְּנַיָא לְמֶחֱטֵּי בָּתַר אֲבָהָתְהוֹן

   You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

10. 10

    וְעָבֵד טֵּיבוּ לְאַלְפֵי דָרִין לְרַחֲמַי וּלְנָטְּרֵי פִקוֹדָי

    but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

11. 11

    לָא תֵימֵי בִּשְׁמָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לְמַגָנָא אֲרֵי לָא יְזַכֵּי יְיָ יָת דִי יֵמֵי בִשְׁמֵהּ לְשִׁקְרָא

    You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

12. 12

    טַר יָת יוֹמָא דְשַׁבְּתָא לְקַדָשׁוּתֵהּ כְּמָא דִי פַקְדָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ

    Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

13. 13

    שִׁתָּא יוֹמִין תִּפְלָח וְתַעְבֵּד כָּל עִבִדְתָּךְ

    Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

14. 14

    וְיוֹמָא שְׁבִיעָאָה שַׁבְּתָא קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לָא תַעְבֵּד כָּל עֲבִידָא אַתְּ וּבְרָךְ וּבְרַתָּךְ וְעַבְדָךְ וְאַמְתָךְ וְתוֹרָךְ וַחֲמָרָךְ וְכָל בְּעִירָךְ וְגִיוֹרָךְ דִי בְקִרְוָךְ בְּדִיל דִי יְנוּחַ עַבְדָךְ וְאַמְתָךְ כְּוָתָךְ

    but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work— neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.

15. 15

    וְתִדְכַּר אֲרֵי עַבְדָא הֲוֵיתָא בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וְאַפְּקָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ מִתַּמָן בִּידָא תַקִיפָא וּבִדְרָעָא מְרָמְמָא עַל כֵּן פַּקְדָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לְמֶעְבַּד יָת יוֹמָא דְשַׁבְּתָא

    Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

16. 16

    יַקַר יָת אֲבוּךְ וְיָת אִמָךְ כְּמָא דִי פַקְדָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ בְּדִיל דְיוֹרְכוּן יוֹמָיךְ וּבְדִיל דְיֵיטַב לָךְ עַל אַרְעָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ יָהֵב לָךְ

    Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

17. 17

    לָא תִקְטוֹל נְפָשׁ וְלָא תְגוּף וְלָא תִגְנוֹב (נַפְשָׁא) וְלָא תַסְהֵד בְּחַבְרָךְ סַהֲדוּתָא דְשִׁקְרָא

    You shall not murder.

18. 18

    וְלָא תַחְמֵד אִתַּת חַבְרָךְ וְלָא תֵרוֹג בֵּית חַבְרָךְ חַקְלֵהּ וְעַבְדֵהּ וְאַמְתֵהּ תּוֹרֵה וַחֲמָרֵהּ וְכֹל דִי לְחַבְרָךְ

    You shall not commit adultery.

19. 19

    יָת פִּתְגָמַיָא הָאִלֵין מַלִיל יְיָ עִם כָּל קְהָלְכוֹן בְּטוּרָא מִגוֹ אֶשָׁתָא עֲנָנָא וַאֲמִיטְתָא קָל רַב וְלָא פְסַק וּכְתָבִנוּן עַל תְּרֵין לוּחֵי אַבְנַיָא וִיהָבִנָן לִי

    You shall not steal.

20. 20

    וַהֲוָה כַּד שְׁמַעֲכוֹן יָת קָלָא מִגוֹ חֲשׁוֹכָא וְטוּרָא בָּעֵר בְּאֶשָׁתָא וְקָרֶבְתּוּן לְוָתִי כָּל רֵישֵׁי שִׁבְטֵיכוֹן וְסָבֵיכוֹן

    You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

21. 21

    וַאֲמַרְתּוּן הָא אַחְזְיָנָא יְיָ אֱלָהָנָא יָת יְקָרֵהּ וְיָת רְבוּתֵהּ וְיָת קָל מֵימְרֵהּ שְׁמַעְנָא מִגוֹ אֶשָׁתָא יוֹמָא הָדֵין חֲזֵינָא אֲרֵי יְמַלֵל יְיָ עִם אֲנָשָׁא וְיִתְקַיָם

    You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

22. 22

    וּכְעַן לְמָא נְמוּת אֲרֵי תֵיכְלִנָנָא אֶשָׁתָא רַבְּתָא הָדָא אִם מוֹסְפִין אֲנַחְנָא לְמִשְׁמַע יָת קָל מֵימְרָא דַייָ אֱלָהָנָא עוֹד וּמָיְתִין אֲנַחְנָא

    The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23. 23

    אֲרֵי מָן כָּל בִּשְׂרָא דִי שְׁמַע קָל מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ קַיָמָא מְמַלֵל מִגוֹ אֶשָׁתָא כְּוָתָנָא וְאִתְקַיָם

    And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,

24. 24

    קְרַב אַתְּ וּשְׁמַע יָת כָּל דִי יֵימַר יְיָ אֱלָהָנָא וְאַתְּ תְּמַלֵל עִמָנָא יָת כָּל דִי מַלֵל יְיָ אֱלָהָנָא עִמָךְ וּנְקַבֵּל וְנַעְבֵּד

    and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.

25. 25

    וּשְׁמִיעַ קֳדָם יְיָ יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵיכוֹן בְּמַלָלוּתְכוֹן עִמִי וַאֲמַר יְיָ לִי שְׁמִיעַ קֳדָמַי יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵי עַמָא הָדֵין דִי מַלִילוּ עִמָךְ אַתְקִינוּ כָּל דִי מַלִילוּ

    But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

26. 26

    לְוַי דִי יְהֵי לִבָּא הָדֵין לְהוֹן לְמִדְחַל קֳדָמַי וּלְמִטַר יָת כָּל פִּקוּדַי כָּל יוֹמַיָא בְּדִיל דִיֵיטַב לְהוֹן וְלִבְנֵיהוֹן לְעָלָם

    For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?

27. 27

    אִזֵל אֱמַר לְהוֹן תּוּבוּ לְכוֹן לְמַשְׁכְּנֵיכוֹן

    Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”

28. 28

    וְאַתְּ הָכָא קִים קֳדָמַי וֶאֱמַלֵל עִמָךְ יָת כָּלּ תַּפְקֶדְתָּא וּקְיָמַיָא וְדִינַיָא דִי תַלְפִנוּן וְיַעְבְּדוּן בְּאַרְעָא דִי אֲנָא יָהֵב לְהוֹן לְמֵירְתַהּ

    And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

29. 29

    וְתִטְרוּן לְמֶעְבַּד כְּמָא דִי פַקִיד יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן יָתְכוֹן לָא תִסְטוּן יַמִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא

    If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.

30. 30

    בְּכָל אָרְחָא דִי פַקִיד יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן יָתְכוֹן תְּהָכוּן בְּדִיל דְתֵיחוּן וְיֵיטַב לְכוֹן וְתוֹרְכוּן יוֹמִין בְּאַרְעָא דִי תֵירְתוּן

    Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’

31. 31

    (The original for this passage is being added.)

    But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”

32. 32

    (The original for this passage is being added.)

    So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.

33. 33

    (The original for this passage is being added.)

    You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
