出埃及記 33
1 耶和華吩咐摩西說：「我曾起誓應許亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各說：『要將迦南地賜給你的後裔。』現在你和你從埃及地所領出來的百姓，要從這裏往那地去。
Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it.
2 我要差遣使者在你前面，攆出迦南人、亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites:
3 領你到那流奶與蜜之地。我自己不同你們上去；因為你們是硬着頸項的百姓，恐怕我在路上把你們滅絕。」
To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way.
4 百姓聽見這凶信就悲哀，也沒有人佩戴妝飾。
And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment.
5 耶和華對摩西說：「你告訴以色列人說：『耶和華說：你們是硬着頸項的百姓，我若一霎時臨到你們中間，必滅絕你們。現在你們要把身上的妝飾摘下來，使我可以知道怎樣待你們。』」
(For the Lord had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee)
6 以色列人從住何烈山以後，就把身上的妝飾摘得乾淨。
So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb.
7 摩西素常將帳棚支搭在營外，離營卻遠，他稱這帳棚為會幕。凡求問耶和華的，就到營外的會幕那裏去。
Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste.
8 當摩西出營到會幕去的時候，百姓就都起來，各人站在自己帳棚的門口，望着摩西，直等到他進了會幕。
And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle.
9 摩西進會幕的時候，雲柱降下來，立在會幕的門前，耶和華便與摩西說話。
And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10 眾百姓看見雲柱立在會幕門前，就都起來，各人在自己帳棚的門口下拜。
Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore.
11 耶和華與摩西面對面說話，好像人與朋友說話一般。摩西轉到營裏去，惟有他的幫手－一個少年人嫩的兒子約書亞不離開會幕。
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
12 摩西對耶和華說：「你吩咐我說：『將這百姓領上去』，卻沒有叫我知道你要打發誰與我同去，只說：『我按你的名認識你，你在我眼前也蒙了恩。』
Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 我如今若在你眼前蒙恩，求你將你的道指示我，使我可以認識你，好在你眼前蒙恩。求你想到這民是你的民。」
Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.
14 耶和華說：「我必親自和你同去，使你得安息。」
And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest.
15 摩西說：「你若不親自和我同去，就不要把我們從這裏領上去。
Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not hence.
16 人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢？豈不是因你與我們同去、使我和你的百姓與地上的萬民有分別嗎？」
And wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth.
17 耶和華對摩西說：「你這所求的我也要行；因為你在我眼前蒙了恩，並且我按你的名認識你。」
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name.
18 摩西說：「求你顯出你的榮耀給我看。」
Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory.
19 耶和華說：「我要顯我一切的恩慈，在你面前經過，宣告我的名。我要恩待誰就恩待誰；要憐憫誰就憐憫誰」；
And he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.
20 又說：「你不能看見我的面，因為人見我的面不能存活。」
Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue.
21 耶和華說：「看哪，在我這裏有地方，你要站在磐石上。
Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke:
22 我的榮耀經過的時候，我必將你放在磐石穴中，用我的手遮掩你，等我過去，
And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.
23 然後我要將我的手收回，你就得見我的背，卻不得見我的面。」
After I will take away mine hande, and thou shalt see my backe parts: but my face shall not be seene.
