Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people collected together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, — we do not know what is become of him!
百姓见摩西迟延不下山，就大家聚集到亚伦那里，对他说：“起来！为我们做神像，可以在我们前面引路；因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西，我们不知道他遭了什么事。”
2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings that are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] to me.
亚伦对他们说：“你们去摘下你们妻子、儿女耳上的金环，拿来给我。”
3 Then all the people broke off the golden rings that were in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.
百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环，拿来给亚伦。
4 And he took [them] out of their hand, and fashioned it with a chisel and made of it a molten calf: and they said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
亚伦从他们手里接过来，铸了一只牛犊，用雕刻的器具做成。他们就说：“以色列啊，这是领你出埃及地的神。”
5 And Aaron saw [it], and built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to Jehovah!
亚伦看见，就在牛犊面前筑坛，且宣告说：“明日要向耶和华守节。”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered up burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport.
次日清早，百姓起来献燔祭和平安祭，就坐下吃喝，起来玩耍。
7 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Away, go down! for thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, is acting corruptly.
耶和华吩咐摩西说：“下去吧，因为你的百姓，就是你从埃及地领出来的，已经败坏了。
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them: they have made themselves a molten calf, and have bowed down to it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, This is thy god, Israel, who has brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
他们快快偏离了我所吩咐的道，为自己铸了一只牛犊，向它下拜献祭，说：‘以色列啊，这就是领你出埃及地的神。’”
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, I see this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
耶和华对摩西说：“我看这百姓真是硬着颈项的百姓。
10 And now let me alone, that my anger may burn against them, and I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.
你且由着我，我要向他们发烈怒，将他们灭绝，使你的后裔成为大国。”
11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Why, Jehovah, doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
摩西便恳求耶和华—他的 神说：“耶和华啊，你为什么向你的百姓发烈怒呢？这百姓是你用大力和大能的手从埃及地领出来的。
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For misfortune he has brought them out, to slay them on the mountains, and to annihilate them from the face of the earth? Turn from the heat of thine anger, and repent of this evil against thy people!
为什么使埃及人议论说‘他领他们出去，是要降祸与他们，把他们杀在山中，将他们从地上除灭’？求你转意，不发你的烈怒，后悔，不降祸与你的百姓。
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thyself, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall possess [it] for ever!
求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。你曾指着自己起誓说：‘我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多，并且我所应许的这全地，必给你们的后裔，他们要永远承受为业。’”
14 And Jehovah repented of the evil that he had said he would do to his people.
于是耶和华后悔，不把所说的祸降与他的百姓。
15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, [with] the two tables of the testimony in his hand — tables written on both their sides: on this side and on that were they written.
摩西转身下山，手里拿着两块法版。这版是两面写的，这面那面都有字，
16 And the tables [were] God's work, and the writing was God's writing, engraven on the tables.
是 神的工作，字是 神写的，刻在版上。
17 And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, and said to Moses, There is a shout of war in the camp.
约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音，就对摩西说：“在营里有争战的声音。”
18 And he said, It is not the sound of a shout of victory, neither is it the sound of a shout of defeat: it is the noise of alternate singing I hear.
摩西说：“这不是人打胜仗的声音，也不是人打败仗的声音；我所听见的乃是人歌唱的声音。”
19 And it came to pass, when he came near the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses' anger burned, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and shattered them beneath the mountain.
摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊，又看见人跳舞，便发烈怒，把两块版扔在山下摔碎了，
20 And he took the calf that they had made, and burned [it] with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed [it] on the water, and made the children of Israel drink [it].
又将他们所铸的牛犊用火焚烧，磨得粉碎，撒在水面上，叫以色列人喝。
21 And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin on them?
摩西对亚伦说：“这百姓向你做了什么？你竟使他们陷在大罪里！”
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn! thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on mischief.
亚伦说：“求我主不要发烈怒。这百姓专于作恶，是你知道的。
23 And they said to me, Make us a god, who will go before us; for this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him!
他们对我说：‘你为我们做神像，可以在我们前面引路；因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西，我们不知道他遭了什么事。’
24 And I said to them, Who has gold? They broke [it] off, and gave [it] me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
我对他们说：‘凡有金环的可以摘下来’，他们就给了我。我把金环扔在火中，这牛犊便出来了。”
25 And Moses saw the people how they were stripped; for Aaron had stripped them to [their] shame before their adversaries.
摩西见百姓放肆（亚伦纵容他们，使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺），
26 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, He that is for Jehovah, [let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him.
就站在营门中，说：“凡属耶和华的，都要到我这里来！”于是利未的子孙都到他那里聚集。
27 And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his hip; go and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbour.
他对他们说：“耶和华—以色列的 神这样说：‘你们各人把刀跨在腰间，在营中往来，从这门到那门，各人杀他的弟兄与同伴并邻舍。’”
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
利未的子孙照摩西的话行了。那一天百姓中被杀的约有三千。
29 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man with his son, and with his brother, and bring on yourselves a blessing to-day.
摩西说：“今天你们要自洁，归耶和华为圣，各人攻击他的儿子和弟兄，使耶和华赐福与你们。”
30 And it came to pass the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Jehovah: perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.
到了第二天，摩西对百姓说：“你们犯了大罪。我如今要上耶和华那里去，或者可以为你们赎罪。”
31 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Alas, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves a god of gold!
摩西回到耶和华那里，说：“唉！这百姓犯了大罪，为自己做了金像。
32 And now, if thou wilt forgive their sin...but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book that thou hast written.
倘或你肯赦免他们的罪......不然，求你从你所写的册上涂抹我的名。”
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
耶和华对摩西说：“谁得罪我，我就从我的册上涂抹谁的名。
34 And now go, lead the people whither I have told thee: behold, my Angel shall go before thee; but in the day of my visiting I will visit their sin upon them.
现在你去领这百姓，往我所告诉你的地方去，我的使者必在你前面引路；只是到我追讨的日子，我必追讨他们的罪。”
35 And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron had made.
耶和华杀百姓的缘故是因他们同亚伦做了牛犊。
