But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

只是我告诉你们，什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的座位；

但是我告诉你们：什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。

但是我告诉你们：什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的宝座。

但我告诉你们，不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。

可是我告诉你们，总不可发誓，不可指着天发誓，因为天是神的宝座；

但是我告诉你们：根本不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的宝座；

只是我告訴你們，甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是神的座位；

但是我告訴你們：甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是上帝的寶座。

但是我告訴你們：甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是神的寶座。

但我告訴你們，不可起誓。不可指著天起誓，因為天是上帝的寶座。

可是我告訴你們，總不可發誓，不可指著天發誓，因為天是神的寶座；

但是我告訴你們，一概不可起誓；不可指着天來起誓，因為天是上帝的座位；

但是我告訴你們：根本不可起誓。不可指著天起誓，因為天是神的寶座；

惟我語爾、概勿誓、勿指天、以天乃上帝座也、

惟我語汝、概勿誓、勿指天而誓、天乃上帝座也、

惟我告爾、概勿誓、勿指天而誓、因天乃天主之寶座也、

第吾語爾、毋發誓；毋指天而誓、此天主之寶座也；

But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God’s throne.

But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say,‘ By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne.

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

But I say to you, take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:

But I say to you, do not take oaths at all– not by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear— not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple“ Yes” or“ No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.

This is what the Lord says:“ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?

If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.

“ Woe to you, blind guides! You say,‘ If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?You also say,‘ If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.

For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy:“ I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

All share a common destiny— the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good, so with the sinful; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.
