Exodus 33
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
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。
2 And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out 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，攆出迦南人、亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
3 [Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
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。」
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
百姓聽見這凶信就悲哀，也沒有人佩戴妝飾。
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
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。』」
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
以色列人從住何烈山以後，就把身上的妝飾摘得乾淨。
7 And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
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。
8 And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
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。
9 And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
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。
10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
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。
11 And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
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。
12 And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
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。』
13 And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
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。」
14 and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
耶和華說：「我必親自和你同去，使你得安息。」
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
摩西說：「你若不親自和我同去，就不要把我們從這裏領上去。
16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
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？」
17 And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
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。」
18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
摩西說：「求你顯出你的榮耀給我看。」
19 and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
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」；
20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
又說：「你不能看見我的面，因為人見我的面不能存活。」
21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
耶和華說：「看哪，在我這裏有地方，你要站在磐石上。
22 and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
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，
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
然後我要將我的手收回，你就得見我的背，卻不得見我的面。」
