出埃及記 32
1 百姓見梅瑟遲遲不下山，就聚集到亞郎跟前，對他說：「起來，給我們製造一尊神像，在我們前面引路，因為那領我們出埃及國的梅瑟，不知道遭遇了什麼事。」
Bvt when the people sawe, that Moses taryed long or he came downe from the mountaine, the people gathered themselues together against Aaron, and sayde vnto him, Vp, make vs gods to goe before vs: for of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt) we knowe not what is become of him.
2 亞郎給他們說：「你們去摘下你們的妻子、兒女所配戴的金耳環，給我送來。」
And Aaron said vnto them, Plucke off the golden earings, which are in the eares of your wiues, of your sonnes, and of your daughters, and bring them vnto me.
3 眾百姓即將他們耳上的金環摘下，送到亞郎跟前。
Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron.
4 亞郎從他們手裏接過來，製了一個模型，用來鑄了一個牛像。他們遂說：「以色列，這就是領你出埃及國的天主。」
Who receiued them at their handes, and facioned it with the grauing toole, and made of it a molte calfe: then they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of ye lad of Egypt
5 亞郎一見，就在牛犢前築了一座祭壇，宣布說：「明日是上主的慶節。」
When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord.
6 次日清晨，他們起來，就奉獻了全燔祭和和平祭；以後百姓坐下來吃喝，起來玩樂。梅瑟求天主息怒
So they rose vp the next day in the morning, and offred burnt offerings, and brought peace offrings: also the people sate them downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.
7 上主訓示梅瑟說：「你下去! 因為你從埃及國領出來的百姓敗壞了。
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go, get thee downe: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their wayes.
8 他們很快就離開了我給他們指示的道路，為自己鑄了一個牛犢，朝拜牠，向牠祭獻並且說：「以色列，這就是領你出埃及的天主。」
They are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they haue made them a molten calfe and haue worshipped it, and haue offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt.
9 上主又向梅瑟說：「我看這百姓，真是一個執拗的百姓!
Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people.
10 你且由我向他們發怒，消滅他們；我要使你成為一個大民族。」
Nowe therefore let mee alone, that my wrath may waxe hote against them, for I wil consume the: but I wil make of thee a mighty people.
11 梅瑟求上主他們的天主息怒說：「上主，你為什麼要向你用大力，用強硬的手臂，由埃及國領出來的百姓發怒呢﹖
But Moses praied vnto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypt, with great power and with a mightie hand?
12 為什麼要叫埃及人說：他是惡意領他們出來，要在山中殺死他們，由地面上絕滅他們呢﹖求你息怒，撤銷要加於你百姓的災禍。
Wherefore shall the Egyptians speake, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountaines, and to consume them from the earth? turne from thy fearce wrath, and change thy minde from this euill towarde thy people.
13 茄你記念你的僕人亞巴郎、依撒格和以色列，你曾指責自己向他們起誓說：我要使你們的後裔，像天上的繁星那樣多；我所許的那整個地方，必賜給你們的後裔，叫他們永遠佔有。」
Remember Abraham, Izhak, and Israel thy seruants, to whom thou swarest by thine owne selfe, and saydest vnto them, I wil multiply your seede, as the starres of the heauen, and all this land, that I haue spoken of, wil I giue vnto your seede, and they shall inherit it for euer.
14 上主遂撤銷了要加於百姓的災禍。梅瑟怒碎約版
Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people.
15 梅瑟轉身下山，手中拿著兩塊約版，版兩面都寫著字，前面後面都有字。
So Moses returned and went downe from the mountaine with the two Tables of the Testimonie in his hande: the Tables were written on both their sides, euen on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 版是天主做的，字是天主寫的，刻在版上。
And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables.
17 若蘇厄一聽見百姓喧嘩的聲音，就對梅瑟說：「營裏有戰爭的聲音。」
And when Ioshua heard the noyse of the people, as they shouted, he said vnto Moses, There is a noyse of warre in the hoste.
18 梅瑟回答說：「這不是戰勝的歌聲，也不是戰敗的吵聲，我聽見的是應和的聲音。」
Who answered, It is not the noyse of them that haue the victorie, nor the noyse of them that are ouercome: but I do heare ye noyse of singing.
19 當梅瑟走近營幕的時候，見了那牛犢，看見人歌舞，遂大發憤怒，把兩塊石版由手中拋出，摔碎在山下。
Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto the hoste, he sawe the calfe and the dancing: so Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine.
20 隨後拿過他們所造的牛犢，投在火中焚燒，搗成細末，撒在水面上，叫以色列子民喝。
After, he tooke the calfe, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it vnto powder, and strowed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it.
21 梅瑟對亞郎說：「這百姓對你作了什麼，你竟使他們陷於重罪﹖」
Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
22 亞郎回答說：「我主，請不要生氣! 你知道這百姓傾向於惡。
Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe.
23 他們對我說：請給我們製一神像，在我們前面引路，因為那領我們出埃及國的梅瑟，不知道遭遇了什麼事。
And they sayde vnto me, Make vs gods to go before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.)
24 我給他們說：誰有金子，就摘下來! 他們遂給我送來。我把金子投在火中，這牛犢便出來了。」懲罰拜金牛者
Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue golde, plucke it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calfe.
25 梅瑟見百姓這樣放肆，─因為亞郎放縱了他們，成了敵人的笑柄；─
Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies)
26 就站在營幕門口說：「凡屬上主的，到我跟前來! 」於是肋末的子孫聚到梅瑟前。
And Moses stoode in ye gate of the campe, and sayde, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let him come to mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered themselues vnto him.
27 梅瑟向他們說：「上主，以色列的天主這樣說：每人要把刀配在腰間，在營中往來，從這門到那門，要殺自己的兄弟、朋友和親人。」
Then he said vnto them, Thus sayth ye Lord God of Israel, Put euery man his sworde by his side: go to and from, from gate to gate, through the hoste, and slay euery man his brother, and euery man his companion, and euery man his neighbour.
28 肋末的子孫就照梅瑟的吩咐作了，那一天百姓中被殺的約有三千人。
So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men.
29 梅瑟說：「今天你們應接受奉事上主的聖職，因為你們每人犧牲了自己的兒子和兄弟，上主今日必賜福與你們。」
(For Moses had said, Cosecrate your hands vnto the Lord this day, euen euery man vpon his sonne, and vpon his brother, that there may be giuen you a blessing this day)
30 到了次日，梅瑟向百姓說：「你們犯了重罪，現在我要上到上主台前，也許我能為你們贖罪。」
And when the morning came, Moses sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne.
31 梅瑟回到上主那裏說：「唉! 這百姓犯了重罪，為自己製造了今神像。
Moses therefore went againe vnto ye Lord, and said, Oh, this people haue sinned a great sinne, and haue made them gods of golde.
32 現在只求你赦免他們的罪，不然，就把我從你所記錄的冊子上抹去罷! 」
Therefore now if thou pardon their sinne, thy mercy shall appeare: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, rase me out of thy booke, which thou hast written.
33 上主回答梅瑟說：「誰犯罪得罪我，我就把誰從我的冊子上抹去。
Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke.
34 現在你去領我的百姓到我吩咐你的地方去。看，我的使者在你前面引路。在我懲罰之日，我必懲罰他們的罪。」
Go nowe therefore, bring the people vnto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall goe before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I wil visite their sinne vpon them.
35 以後上主打擊了百姓，因他們敬拜了亞郎製造的牛犢。
So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.
