出埃及记 19
1 以色列人出埃及地以后，满了三个月的那一天，就来到西奈的旷野。
In the third month of the departure of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came into the wilderness of Sinai:
2 他们离了利非订，来到西奈的旷野，就在那里的山下安营。
For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai, they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over against the mountain.
3 摩西到 神那里，耶和华从山上呼唤他说：“你要这样告诉雅各家，晓谕以色列人说：
And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 ‘我向埃及人所行的事，你们都看见了，且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。
You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.
5 如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。
If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine.
6 你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。’这些话你要告诉以色列人。”
And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
7 摩西去召了民间的长老来，将耶和华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。
Moses came, and calling together the elders of the people, he declared all the words which the Lord had commanded.
8 百姓都同声回答说：“凡耶和华所说的，我们都要遵行。”摩西就将百姓的话回复耶和华。
And all the people answered together: All that the Lord hath spoken, we will do. And when Moses had related the people’s words to the Lord,
9 耶和华对摩西说：“我要在密云中临到你那里，叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见，也可以永远信你了。”于是，摩西将百姓的话奏告耶和华。
The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
10 耶和华又对摩西说：“你往百姓那里去，叫他们今天明天自洁，又叫他们洗衣服。
And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 到第三天要预备好了，因为第三天耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山上。
And let them be ready against the third day: for on the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 你要在山的四围给百姓定界限，说：‘你们当谨慎，不可上山去，也不可摸山的边界；凡摸这山的，必要治死他。
And thou shalt appoint certain limits to the people round about, and thou shalt say to them: Take heed you go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders thereof: every one that toucheth the mount dying he shall die.
13 不可用手摸他，必用石头打死，或用箭射透；无论是人是牲畜，都不得活。到角声拖长的时候，他们才可到山根来。’”
No hands shall touch him, but he shall be stoned to death, or shall be shot through with arrows: whether it be beast, or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount.
14 摩西下山往百姓那里去，叫他们自洁，他们就洗衣服。
And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
15 他对百姓说：“到第三天要预备好了。不可亲近女人。”
He said to them: Be ready against the third day, and come not near your wives.
16 到了第三天早晨，在山上有雷轰、闪电，和密云，并且角声甚大，营中的百姓尽都发颤。
And now the third day was come, and the morning appeared: and behold thunders began to be heard, and lightning to flash, and a very thick cloud to cover the mount, and the noise of the trumpet sounded exceeding loud, and the people that was in the camp, feared.
17 摩西率领百姓出营迎接 神，都站在山下。
And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God from the place of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.
18 西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降于山上。山的烟气上腾，如烧窑一般，遍山大大地震动。
And all mount Sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace: and all the mount was terrible.
19 角声渐渐地高而又高，摩西就说话， 神有声音答应他。
And the sound of the trumpet grew by degrees louder and louder, and was drawn out to a greater length: Moses spoke, and God answered him.
20 耶和华降临在西奈山顶上，耶和华召摩西上山顶，摩西就上去。
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, in the very top of the mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up thither,
21 耶和华对摩西说：“你下去嘱咐百姓，不可闯过来到我面前观看，恐怕他们有多人死亡；
He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people: lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them should perish.
22 又叫亲近我的祭司自洁，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”
The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them.
23 摩西对耶和华说：“百姓不能上西奈山，因为你已经嘱咐我们说：‘要在山的四围定界限，叫山成圣。’”
And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou did charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 耶和华对他说：“下去吧，你要和亚伦一同上来；只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”
And the Lord said to him: Go, get thee down: and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people pass the limits, nor come up to the Lord, lest he kill them.
25 于是摩西下到百姓那里告诉他们。
And Moses went down to the people and told them all.
