Ihr sollt nicht falsch schwören bei meinem Namen und entheiligen den Namen deines Gottes; denn ich bin der HERR.
Y no juraréis en mi nombre con mentira, ni profanarás el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
Vous ne jurerez point faussement par mon nom, car tu profanerais le nom de ton Dieu. Je suis l'Eternel.
E non giurate falsamente per lo mio Nome, sì che tu profani il Nome dell’Iddio tuo. Io sono il Signore.
Nem jurareis falso pelo meu nome, pois profanarás o nome do teu Deus. Eu sou o SENHOR.
不可指著我的名起假誓,褻瀆你上帝的名。我是耶和華。
