LXX Exodus 20:16

OU YEUDOMARTURHSEIS KATA TOU PLHSION SOU MARTURIAN YEUDH.

This is typically rendered as "you shall not bear false testimony against your neighbor."  The MARTURIAN YEUDH at the end of the verse seems either redundant or out of place to me as OU YEUDOMARTURHSEIS means "you shall/will not bear false testimony."

Does the inclusion of the MARTURIAN YEUDH add or change something in the meaning?

In translating this verse, I translated it as "You will/shall not falsely testify false testimony against your neighbor."  Does this translation capture the *full* translation or am I off somewhere.

Any help or insight into this would be appreciated.  Thank you.
