AFRICAN AMERICAN
BLACK
TEN COMMANDMENTS




From Black Bible Chronicles, a new version of the Bible pub­lished by
African Amer­i­can Family Press, in New York City. In a fore­word to
the book, Andrew Young, the former mayor of Atlanta, writes that in
order to be ‘truly relevant’ to young people, the Bible ‘must be in a
lan­guage fa­mil­iar to their culture.’ The se­lec­tion below is from
the book of Exodus.


1. I am the Almighty, your God, who brought you outta Egypt when things
were tough. Don’t put anyone else before Me.

2. Don’t make any carved objects or things that look like what is in
heaven or below. And don’t bow down to these things like they are
any­thing heavy. Not ever!

3. You shouldn’t dis the Almighty’s name, using it in cuss words or
rapping with one another. It ain’t cool, and payback’s a monster.

4. After you’ve worked six days, give the seventh to the Almighty.
(The Almightly made the heavens and earth in six days. He rested on
the seventh day and blessed it as right on.)

5. You shouldn’t be takin’ nothin’ from your homeboys.

6. Give honor to your mom and dad, and you’ll live a long time.

7. Don’t waste nobody.

8. Don’t mess around with someone else’s ol’ man or ol’ lady.

9. Don’t go ’round telling lies on your homebuddies.

10. Don’t want what you can’t have or what your home­buddy has.
It ain’t cool.
