In the standard Swedish translation it says 'Du skall icke dräpa' meaning 'Thou shall not slay'. 'Kill' may be a possible translation but 'slay' seems to be more accurate. The word 'dräpa' also points out that it's probably done in a violent manner as it was the first meaning that showed up on several dictionaries including that of the Swedish Academy, the one who gives away the Nobel Prize in literature.

Make of it what you will.
