Hello,

Here’s the Ecclesiatical Latin translation of the Ten Commandments, as we read it in the Formula Catechetica:

1. Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus (I am lord your god.)

2. Non habebis deos alios coram me (Thou shalt not have any gods before me).

3. Non assumes Nomen Domini Dei tui in vanum (Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain)

4. Memento ut dies festos sanctifices (Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.)

5. Honora patrem tuum et matrem tuam (Honor thy father and mother)

6. Non occides (Thou shalt not kill.)

7. Non moechaberis (Thou shalt not commit adultery)

8. Non furtum facies (Thou shalt not steal)

9. Non loqueris contra proximum  tuum falsum testimonium (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.)

10. Non desiderabis uxorem eius (Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife).

Best regards,
Maria
