10 Perintah Allah dalam bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris versi Alkitab Terjemahan Baru (TB)
Keluaran 20:3-17 (TB)
1. Jangan ada padamu allah lain di hadapan-Ku.
2. Jangan membuat bagimu patung yang menyerupai apa pun yang ada di langit di atas, atau yang ada di bumi di bawah, atau yang ada di dalam air di bawah bumi. Jangan sujud menyembah kepadanya atau beribadah kepadanya, sebab Aku, Tuhan , Allahmu, adalah Allah yang cemburu, yang membalaskan kesalahan bapa kepada anak-anaknya, kepada keturunan yang ketiga dan keempat dari orang-orang yang membenci Aku, tetapi Aku menunjukkan kasih setia kepada beribu-ribu orang, yaitu mereka yang mengasihi Aku dan yang berpegang pada perintah-perintah-Ku.
3. Jangan menyebut nama Tuhan , Allahmu, dengan sembarangan, sebab Tuhan akan memandang bersalah orang yang menyebut nama-Nya dengan sembarangan.
4. Ingatlah dan kuduskanlah hari Sabat: enam hari lamanya engkau akan bekerja dan melakukan segala pekerjaanmu, tetapi hari ketujuh adalah hari Sabat Tuhan , Allahmu; maka jangan melakukan sesuatu pekerjaan, engkau atau anakmu laki-laki, atau anakmu perempuan, atau hambamu laki-laki, atau hambamu perempuan, atau hewanmu atau orang asing yang di tempat kediamanmu. Sebab enam hari lamanya Tuhan menjadikan langit dan bumi, laut dan segala isinya, dan Ia berhenti pada hari ketujuh; itulah sebabnya Tuhan memberkati hari Sabat dan menguduskannya.
5. Hormatilah ayahmu dan ibumu, supaya lanjut umurmu di tanah yang diberikan Tuhan , Allahmu, kepadamu.
6. Jangan membunuh.
7. Jangan berzinah.
8. Jangan mencuri.
9. Jangan mengucapkan saksi dusta tentang sesamamu.
10. Jangan mengingini rumah sesamamu; jangan mengingini isterinya, atau hambanya laki-laki, atau hambanya perempuan, atau lembunya atau keledainya, atau apa pun yang dipunyai sesamamu.”

10 Perintah Allah Dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan Bahasa Inggris versi The Message (MSG)
Exodus 20:3-17 (MSG)
1. No other gods, only me.
2. No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow down to them and don’t serve them because I am God , your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.
3. No using the name of God , your God, in curses or silly banter; God won’t put up with the irreverent use of his name.
4. Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do everything you need to do. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God , your God. Don’t do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.
5. Honor your father and mother so that you’ll live a long time in the land that God , your God, is giving you.
6. No murder.
7. No adultery.
8. No stealing.
9. No lies about your neighbor.
10. No lusting after your neighbor’s house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don’t set your heart on anything that is your neighbor’s.
