Exodus 33
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it,
耶和华吩咐摩西说：“我曾起誓应许亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各说：‘要将迦南地赐给你的后裔。’现在你和你从埃及地所领出来的百姓，要从这里往那地去。
2 (and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )
我要差遣使者在你前面，撵出迦南人、亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
3 into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, — lest I consume thee on the way.
领你到那流奶与蜜之地。我自己不同你们上去；因为你们是硬着颈项的百姓，恐怕我在路上把你们灭绝。”
4 And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.
百姓听见这凶信就悲哀，也没有人佩戴妆饰。
5 Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.
耶和华对摩西说：“你告诉以色列人说：‘耶和华说：你们是硬着颈项的百姓，我若一霎时临到你们中间，必灭绝你们。现在你们要把身上的妆饰摘下来，使我可以知道怎样待你们。’”
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
以色列人从住何烈山以后，就把身上的妆饰摘得干净。
7 And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
摩西素常将帐棚支搭在营外，离营却远，他称这帐棚为会幕。凡求问耶和华的，就到营外的会幕那里去。
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
当摩西出营到会幕去的时候，百姓就都起来，各人站在自己帐棚的门口，望着摩西，直等到他进了会幕。
9 And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.
摩西进会幕的时候，云柱降下来，立在会幕的门前，耶和华便与摩西说话。
10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.
众百姓看见云柱立在会幕门前，就都起来，各人在自己帐棚的门口下拜。
11 And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
耶和华与摩西面对面说话，好像人与朋友说话一般。摩西转到营里去，惟有他的帮手—一个少年人嫩的儿子约书亚不离开会幕。
12 And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
摩西对耶和华说：“你吩咐我说：‘将这百姓领上去’，却没有叫我知道你要打发谁与我同去，只说：‘我按你的名认识你，你在我眼前也蒙了恩。’
13 And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
我如今若在你眼前蒙恩，求你将你的道指示我，使我可以认识你，好在你眼前蒙恩。求你想到这民是你的民。”
14 And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.
耶和华说：“我必亲自和你同去，使你得安息。”
15 And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.
摩西说：“你若不亲自和我同去，就不要把我们从这里领上去。
16 And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes — I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.
人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢？岂不是因你与我们同去、使我和你的百姓与地上的万民有分别吗？”
17 And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
耶和华对摩西说：“你这所求的我也要行；因为你在我眼前蒙了恩，并且我按你的名认识你。”
18 And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
摩西说：“求你显出你的荣耀给我看。”
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
耶和华说：“我要显我一切的恩慈，在你面前经过，宣告我的名。我要恩待谁就恩待谁；要怜悯谁就怜悯谁”；
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
又说：“你不能看见我的面，因为人见我的面不能存活。”
21 And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.
耶和华说：“看哪，在我这里有地方，你要站在磐石上。
22 And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
我的荣耀经过的时候，我必将你放在磐石穴中，用我的手遮掩你，等我过去，
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.
然后我要将我的手收回，你就得见我的背，却不得见我的面。”
