第十一节 诫命九、十： 不可贪心
325# 第九与第十条诫命：“不可贪恋你邻舍的房屋；不可贪恋你邻舍的妻子、仆人、婢女、牛、驴，并他一切所有的。”这些诫命在今日通行的教理问答中被分为两条：一条构成第九条，即“不可贪恋你邻舍的房屋”；另一条构成第十条，即“不可贪恋你邻舍的妻子、仆人、婢女、牛、驴，并他一切所有的”。
这两条诫命既然合成一件事，并且在《出埃及记》（20:17）与《申命记》（5:21）中同属一节经文，所以我决定将这两条诫命合在一起论述；但这并不是因为我要把它们合并为一条诫命，而是仍要像从前一样把它们分为两条，因为这些诫命被称为“十句话”（出34:28；申4:13；10:4）。
325# 在现今所用的教理问答中，这条诫命被分成两条诫命：其中一条诫命是第九诫，即“不可贪恋邻舍的房屋”；另一条诫命是第十诫，即“不可贪恋邻舍的妻子、仆婢、牛驴，以及邻舍的任何东西”。由于这两条诫命构成一体，并在出埃及记20:17; 申命记5:21中形成一节经文，所以我把它们放在一起来论述，不是因为我想把它们合而为一，我更希望它们像以前一样分成两条诫命，因为在希伯来文，这些诫命被称为“十句话”（出埃及记34:28; 申命记4:13; 10:4）。
325. The Ninth and Tenth Commandments
You Are Not to Covet Your Neighbor's Household;
You Are Not to Covet Your Neighbor's Wife
or His Servant or His Maid or His Ox or His Donkey
or Anything That Is Your Neighbor's
In the catechism that is circulated these days, these have been divided into two commandments. One of them is the ninth commandment: "You are not to covet your neighbor's household. " The other is the tenth: "You are not to covet your neighbor's wife or his servant or his maid or his ox or his donkey or anything that is your neighbor's. " Because these two commandments are united and form just a single verse in Exodus 20:17 and in Deuteronomy 5:21, I have taken them up together. It is not my intention, however, to connect them into one commandment. I want to keep them distinguished into two commandments as they have been, since all the commandments are referred to as the ten words (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4).
325. THE NINTH AND TENTH COMMANDMENTS
You are not to covet your neighbour's house, you are not to covet your neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbour's.
In the Catechism 1 in general use today this passage is divided into two commandments. One, the ninth, is 'You are not to covet your neighbour's house'; the other, the tenth, is 'You are not to covet your neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbour's.' Since these two commandments make a single whole and occupy one verse (Exodus 20:17 and Deuteronomy 5:21), I have chosen to treat them together. This, however, is not because I would like to have them coupled to form a single commandment, but I intend them to be divided into two in the usual way, since they are all called together the Ten Words (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4).

325. THE NINTH AND TENTH COMMANDMENTS.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE; THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, NOR HIS MANSERVANT NOR HIS MAIDSERVANT, NOR HIS OX, NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOR'S.
In the catechisms now in use, this commandment is divided into two, one forming the ninth, which is, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house;" and the other the tenth, which is, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." As these two commandments constitute one thing, and in Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21, one verse, I have undertaken to treat of the two together; not wishing them to be joined together as one commandment, but rather that as heretofore they be kept separate as two, since the commandments are called (in the Hebrew) the Ten Words (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4).
325. THE NINTH AND TENTH COMMANDMENTS
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE; THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, NOR HIS MAN-SERVANT, NOR HIS MAID-SERVANT, NOR HIS OX, NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOR'S.
In the Catechism 1 now in use, the above is divided into two commandments, one forming the ninth, which is "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house," and the other, the tenth, which is "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." As these two commandments constitute a unity, and form one verse in Exodus 20:17, and in Deuteronomy 5:21, I propose to treat them together, not because I would wish them to be joined into one, as I prefer they should be separated into two as formerly, since the commandments are called the "Ten Words" Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4.

325. NONUM, ET DECIMUM PRAECEPTUM.
Non concupisces Domum proximi tui, Non concupisces Uxorem proximi tui, non Servum ejus et Ancillam ejus, et Bovem ejus et Asinum ejus, et omne quod Proximo tuo.
Haec in Catechismo, qui hodie in manibus est, in duo Praecepta distincta sunt, in unum, quod facit NONUM, quod est, Non concupisces Domum proximi tui, et in alterum, quod facit DECIMUM, quod est, Non concupisces Uxorem proximi tui, et servum ejus, et ancillam ejus, et bovem ejus et asinum ejus, et omne quod proximo tuo; haec duo Praecepta, quia unam rem faciunt, et Exodus 20:14, 1 et Deuteronomius 5:18, 2 unum Versum, suscepi de duobus illis Praeceptis simul agere, sed non propterea, quod velim ut in unum Praeceptum conjungantur, sed in duo sicut prius distinguantur, quoniam Praecepta illa dicuntur DECEM VERBA, Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomius 4:13; 10:4.
