Exodus 32
1 And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mountain, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say to him, “Rise, make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 says to them, “Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and 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 and all the people break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring [them] to Aaron,
百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环，拿来给亚伦。
4 and he receives [it] from their hand, and fashions it with an engraving tool, and makes it [into] a molten calf, and they say, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you 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 sees, and builds an altar before it, and Aaron calls, and says, “A festival to YHWH—tomorrow”;
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 rise early on the next day, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring peace-offerings near; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise up to play.
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 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go, descend, for your people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt have done 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 quickly turned aside from the way that I have commanded them; they have made a molten calf for themselves, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you 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 YHWH says to Moses, “I have seen 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, leave Me alone, and My anger burns against them, and I consume them, and I make you become 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 appeases the face of his God YHWH and says, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have 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 do the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out in calamity to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and relent from this calamity against Your 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 Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Your servants, to whom You have sworn by Yourself, and to whom You speak: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited [it] for all time”;
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 YHWH relents from the evil which He has spoken of doing 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 turns, and goes down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in his hand, tablets written on both their sides; they [are] written on this [side] and on that [side];
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 tablets are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
是 神的工作，字是 神写的，刻在版上。
17 And Joshua hears the voice of the people in their shouting and says to Moses, “A noise of battle 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 says, “It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness—I am hearing a voice of singing.”
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 comes to pass, when he has drawn near to the camp, that he sees the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burns, and he casts the tablets out of his hands, and breaks them below 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 takes the calf which they have made, and burns [it] with fire, and grinds [it] until [it is] small, and scatters [it] on the face of the waters, and causes the sons of Israel to drink.
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 says to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, that you have brought in a great sin on it?”
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 says, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you have known the people, that it [is beset] with evil;
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 say to me, Make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 say to them, Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off, and they give [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf comes out.”
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 sees the people, that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron has made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
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 stands in the gate of the camp and says, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi are 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 says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Each put his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and each slay his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.”
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 do according to the word of Moses, and there falls of the people on 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 says, “Consecrate your hand to YHWH today, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring a blessing on you today.”
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses says to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, and now I go up to YHWH, perhaps I can atone 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 turns back to YHWH and says, “Ah, now this people has sinned a great sin, that they make a god of gold for themselves;
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 You take away their sin—and if not—please blot me out of Your scroll which You have 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me—I blot him out of My scroll;
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 wherever I have spoken to you of; behold, My Messenger goes before you, and in the day of my charging—then I have charged their sin on 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 YHWH plagues the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
耶和华杀百姓的缘故是因他们同亚伦做了牛犊。
