Exodo 20

Studie

   

1 At sinalita ng Dios ang lahat ng salitang ito, na sinasabi,

2 Ako ang Panginoon mong Dios, na naglabas sa iyo sa lupain ng Egipto, sa bahay ng pagkaalipin.

3 Huwag kang magkakaroon ng ibang mga dios sa harap ko.

4 Huwag kang gagawa para sa iyo ng larawang inanyuan o ng kawangis man ng anomang anyong nasa itaas sa langit, o ng nasa ibaba sa lupa, o ng nasa tubig sa ilalim ng lupa:

5 Huwag mong yuyukuran sila, o paglingkuran man sila; sapagka't akong Panginoon mong Dios, ay Dios na mapanibughuin, na aking dinadalaw ang katampalasanan ng mga magulang sa mga anak, hanggang sa ikatlo at ikaapat na salin ng lahi ng mga napopoot sa akin;

6 At pinagpapakitaan ko ng kaawaan ang libolibong umiibig sa akin at tumutupad ng aking mga utos.

7 Huwag mong babanggitin ang pangalan ng Panginoon mong Dios sa walang kabuluhan; sapagka't hindi aariin ng Panginoong walang sala ang bumanggit ng kaniyang pangalan sa walang kabuluhan.

8 Alalahanin mo ang araw ng sabbath upang ipangilin.

9 Anim na araw na gagawa ka at iyong gagawin ang lahat ng iyong gawain.

10 Nguni't ang ikapitong araw ay sabbath sa Panginoon mong Dios: sa araw na iyan ay huwag kang gagawa ng anomang gawa, ikaw, ni ang iyong anak na lalake ni babae, ni ang iyong aliping lalake ni babae, ni ang iyong baka, ni ang iyong tagaibang lupa na nasa loob ng iyong mga pintuang daan:

11 Sapagka't sa anim na araw ay ginawa ng Panginoon ang langit at lupa, ang dagat, at lahat ng nangaroon, at nagpahinga sa ikapitong araw; na ano pa't pinagpala ng Panginoon ang araw ng sabbath, at pinakabanal.

12 Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ang iyong ina: upang ang iyong mga araw ay tumagal sa ibabaw ng lupa na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios.

13 Huwag kang papatay.

14 Huwag kang mangangalunya.

15 Huwag kang magnanakaw.

16 Huwag kang magbibintang sa iyong kapuwa.

17 Huwag mong iimbutin ang bahay ng iyong kapuwa, huwag mong iimbutin ang asawa ng iyong kapuwa, ni ang kaniyang aliping lalake o babae, ni ang kaniyang baka, ni ang kaniyang asno, ni anomang bagay ng iyong kapuwa.

18 At nakikita ng buong bayan ang mga kulog, at ang mga kidlat, at ang tunog ng pakakak at ang bundok na umuusok: at nang makita ng bayan, ay nanginig sila, at tumayo sa malayo.

19 At sinabi nila kay Moises, Magsalita ka sa amin, at aming didinggin: datapuwa't huwag magsalita ang Dios sa amin, baka kami ay mamatay.

20 At sinabi ni Moises sa bayan, Huwag kayong matakot: sapagka't ang Dios ay naparito upang subukin kayo, at upang ang takot sa kaniya ay sumainyo, upang huwag kayong magkasala.

21 At ang bayan ay tumayo sa malayo, at si Moises ay lumapit sa salimuot na kadiliman na kinaroroonan ng Dios.

22 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Ganito mo sasabihin sa mga anak ni Israel: Kayo ang nakakita na ako'y nakipagusap sa inyo mula sa langit.

23 Huwag kayong gagawa ng ibang mga dios na iaagapay sa akin; ng mga dios na pilak, o ng mga dios na ginto, huwag kayong gagawa para sa inyo.

24 Isang dambanang lupa ang inyong gagawin sa akin, at inyong ihahain doon ang inyong mga handog na susunugin, at ang inyong mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, ang inyong mga tupa, at ang inyong mga baka sa lahat ng dakong aking ipaaalaala ang aking pangalan, ay paparoonan kita at pagpapalain kita.

25 At kung igagawa mo ako ng isang dambanang bato, ay huwag mong itatayong may tapyas: sapagka't kung iyong gamitin ang iyong patalim doon, ay iyong nilapastangan yaon.

26 Ni huwag kang sasampa sa aking dambana sa pamamagitan ng mga baytang, upang ang inyong kahubaran ay huwag malitaw sa ibabaw niyaon.

8944. In the world it is thought that the human being can recognize from the light of natural evidence alone, that is, without revelation, most of what religion involves, such as the beliefs that there is a God, that He is to be worshipped, and also that He is to be loved, and in addition that a person will be alive after death. and many other beliefs dependent on these. However, those beliefs are the products of self-intelligence. Much experience has taught me that of himself a person knows nothing whatever about Divine realities, or about things belonging to celestial and spiritual life; without revelation he knows nothing about them. For a person is born into the evils of self-love and love of the world, and the nature of these is such that they seal off influx from the heavens and let through influx from the hells. This being so, they blind a person and place him in a negative frame of mind about the reality of the Divine, of heaven and hell, and of life after death. This is plainly evident from the learned people of the world, who through study of different branches of knowledge have developed the inferior light of this natural evidence of theirs to a higher degree than others. As is well known, these more than others deny the Divine, acknowledging natural forces instead. Also, when they speak from what is in their heart and not just from doctrine they deny life after death, also heaven and hell, consequently all things that are matters of faith, which they call bonds for the common people. This makes plain what light received from natural evidence without revelation is like. I have also been shown that in the next life many of those who have written books about natural theology, and from the inferior light of their natural evidence have skillfully substantiated the teachings of their Church, deny those same things at heart more than any others, and also deny the Word itself, which they try to destroy completely. For in the next life people's hearts speak. I have also been shown that those same people are unable to receive anything of the influx from heaven, only that from the hells. All this makes plain what light received from natural evidence, without revelation, is like, and therefore what anything that is a product of self-intelligence is like.

[2] But there are two phenomena that might have placed the mind in doubt so far as this matter is concerned. The first is that people in ancient times who were gentiles nevertheless knew that there is a God, that He is to be worshipped, and that a person as to his soul is immortal. The second is that those things are also known by a large number of nations at the present day among whom no revelation exists. But in the case of the ancients, they did not know those things from the inferior light they received from natural evidence but from revelation that spread from the Church even to them. For the Lord's Church had existed since most ancient times in the land of Canaan, 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6516. From there such things as belonged to the worship of God spread to the nations round about and also to the neighbouring Greeks, and from the Greeks to the Italians or Romans. From the Church all these nations received the things they knew about a supreme deity, and about the immortality of the soul, which their learned men wrote about.

[3] As regards the nations at the present day who also know of God's existence and of life after death, they have not come to possess that knowledge from the inferior light they receive from natural evidence. They possess it from their religion which has come down to them from ancient times and which was founded on such things as had spread in various ways from the Church, where revelation existed. This happened in the Lord's Divine Providence. Furthermore those among them who from their religion acknowledge God above all things, and from their religion do what charity requires them to do for their neighbour, on receiving instruction in the next life accept the truths of faith and are saved, 258-2604.
