¹ καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λαβὲ σεαυτῷ ῥομφαίαν ὀξεῖαν ὑπὲρ ξυρὸν κουρέως κτήσῃ αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ καὶ ἐπάξεις αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν πώγωνά σου καὶ λήμψῃ ζυγὸν σταθμίων καὶ διαστήσεις αὐτούς

² τὸ τέταρτον ἐν πυρὶ ἀνακαύσεις ἐν μέσῃ τῇ πόλει κατὰ τὴν πλήρωσιν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ τέταρτον καὶ κατακαύσεις αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τέταρτον κατακόψεις ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τέταρτον διασκορπίσεις τῷ πνεύματι καὶ μάχαιραν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν

³ καὶ λήμψῃ ἐκεῖθεν ὀλίγους ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ συμπεριλήμψῃ αὐτοὺς τῇ ἀναβολῇ σου

⁴ καὶ ἐκ τούτων λήμψῃ ἔτι καὶ ῥίψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς μέσον τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ κατακαύσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν πυρί ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται πῦρ καὶ ἐρεῖς παντὶ οἴκῳ ισραηλ

⁵ τάδε λέγει κύριος αὕτη ἡ ιερουσαλημ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικα αὐτὴν καὶ τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς χώρας

⁶ καὶ ἐρεῖς τὰ δικαιώματά μου τῇ ἀνόμῳ ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς διότι τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο καὶ ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς

⁷ διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀνθ' ὧν ἡ ἀφορμὴ ὑμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθητε καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἀλλ' οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν οὐ πεποιήκατε

⁸ διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ποιήσω ἐν μέσῳ σου κρίμα ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν

⁹ καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ ἃ οὐ πεποίηκα καὶ ἃ οὐ ποιήσω ὅμοια αὐτοῖς ἔτι κατὰ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου

¹⁰ διὰ τοῦτο πατέρες φάγονται τέκνα ἐν μέσῳ σου καὶ τέκνα φάγονται πατέρας καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ κρίματα καὶ διασκορπιῶ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους σου εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον

¹¹ διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος εἰ μὴ ἀνθ' ὧν τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐμίανας ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς βδελύγμασίν σου κἀγὼ ἀπώσομαί σε οὐ φείσεταί μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός κἀγὼ οὐκ ἐλεήσω

¹² τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν θανάτῳ ἀναλωθήσεται καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν λιμῷ συντελεσθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ σου καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον σκορπιῶ αὐτούς καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται κύκλῳ σου καὶ μάχαιραν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν

¹³ καὶ συντελεσθήσεται ὁ θυμός μου καὶ ἡ ὀργή μου ἐπ' αὐτούς καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα ἐν ζήλῳ μου ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι με τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπ' αὐτούς

¹⁴ καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς ἔρημον καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας σου κύκλῳ σου ἐνώπιον παντὸς διοδεύοντος

¹⁵ καὶ ἔσῃ στενακτὴ καὶ δηλαϊστὴ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τοῖς κύκλῳ σου ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με ἐν σοὶ κρίματα ἐν ἐκδικήσει θυμοῦ μου ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα

¹⁶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαποστεῖλαί με τὰς βολίδας μου τοῦ λιμοῦ ἐπ' αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἔκλειψιν καὶ συντρίψω στήριγμα ἄρτου σου

¹⁷ καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐπὶ σὲ λιμὸν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ καὶ τιμωρήσομαί σε καὶ θάνατος καὶ αἷμα διελεύσονται ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα

¹ God spoke all these words, saying,

² "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

³ "You shall have no other gods before me.

⁴ "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

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 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

⁷ "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

⁹ You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

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 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 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

¹³ "You shall not murder.

¹⁴ "You shall not commit adultery.

¹⁵ "You shall not steal.

¹⁶ "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

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 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 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God Speak with us, lest we die."

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 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

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 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

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 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 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
