Exodus 24
1 He said to Moses, "Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
耶和华对摩西说：“你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都要上到我这里来，远远地下拜。
2 Moses alone shall come near to God, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."
惟独你可以亲近耶和华；他们却不可亲近；百姓也不可和你一同上来。”
3 Moses came and told the people all the words of God, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which YHWH has spoken will we do."
摩西下山，将耶和华的命令典章都述说与百姓听。众百姓齐声说：“耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。”
4 Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
摩西将耶和华的命令都写上。清早起来，在山下筑一座坛，按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子，
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to God.
又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭，又向耶和华献牛为平安祭。
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
摩西将血一半盛在盆中，一半洒在坛上；
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that YHWH has spoken will we do, and be obedient."
又将约书念给百姓听。他们说：“耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you concerning all these words."
摩西将血洒在百姓身上，说：“你看！这是立约的血，是耶和华按这一切话与你们立约的凭据。”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都上了山。
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
他们看见以色列的 神，他脚下仿佛有平铺的蓝宝石，如同天色明净。
11 He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
他的手不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看 神；他们又吃又喝。
12 YHWH said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."
耶和华对摩西说：“你上山到我这里来，住在这里，我要将石版并我所写的律法和诫命赐给你，使你可以教训百姓。”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.
摩西和他的帮手约书亚起来，上了 神的山。
14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."
摩西对长老说：“你们在这里等着，等到我们再回来，有亚伦、户珥与你们同在。凡有争讼的，都可以就近他们去。”
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
摩西上山，有云彩把山遮盖。
16 The glory of God settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
耶和华的荣耀停于西奈山；云彩遮盖山六天，第七天他从云中召摩西。
17 The appearance of the glory of YHWH was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
耶和华的荣耀在山顶上，在以色列人眼前，形状如烈火。
18 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
摩西进入云中上山，在山上四十昼夜。
