Deuteronomy 5 (WEBP)

[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] Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
[3] Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
[4] Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
[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] “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[7] “You shall have no other gods before me.
[8] “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
[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] and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
[11] “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
[12] “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
[13] You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
[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] 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] “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] “You shall not murder.
[18] “You shall not commit adultery.
[19] “You shall not steal.
[20] “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
[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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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 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] “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
[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] 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] 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.

Deuteronomy 5:11 or, You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain;

Deuteronomy 5 (YLT)

[1] And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, ‘Hear, Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I am speaking in your ears to-day, and ye have learned them, and have observed to do them.
[2] Jehovah our God made with us a covenant in Horeb;
[3] not with our fathers hath Jehovah made this covenant, but with us; we-these-here to-day-all of us alive.
[4] Face to face hath Jehovah spoken with you, in the mount, out of the midst of the fire;
[5] I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the mount; saying:
[6] ‘I Jehovah am thy God, who hath brought thee out from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants.
[7] ‘Thou hast no other gods in My presence.
[8] ‘Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude which is in the heavens above, and which is in the earth beneath, and which is in the waters under the earth;
[9] thou dost not bow thyself to them nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on a third generation, and on a fourth, to those hating Me;
[10] and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commands.
[11] ‘Thou dost not take up the Name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah doth not acquit him who taketh up His Name for a vain thing.
[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 man-servant, 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.
[25] ‘And, now, why do we die? for consume us doth this great fire-if we add to hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more-then we have died.
[26] For who of all flesh is he who hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us-and doth live?
[27] Draw near thou, and hear all that which Jehovah our God saith, and thou, thou dost speak unto us all that which Jehovah our God speaketh unto thee, and we have hearkened, and done it.
[28] ‘And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, in your speaking unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee; they have done well in all that they have spoken.
[29] O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me, and to keep My commands all the days, that it may be well with them, and with their sons-to the age!
[30] ‘Go, say to them, Turn back for yourselves, to your tents;
[31] and thou here stand thou with Me, and let Me speak unto thee all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which thou dost teach them, and they have done in the land which I am giving to them to possess it.
[32] ‘And ye have observed to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you, ye turn not aside-right or left;
[33] in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you ye walk, so that ye live, and it is well with you, and ye have prolonged days in the land which ye possess.
