Exodus 19
1 In the thridde monethe of the goyng `of Israel out of the lond of Egipt, in this dai thei camen in to the wildirnesse of Synai;
以色列人出埃及地以后，满了三个月的那一天，就来到西奈的旷野。
2 for thei yeden forth fro Rafidym, and camen til in to deseert of Synai, and settiden tentis in the same place; and there Israel settide tentis, euen ayens the hil.
他们离了利非订，来到西奈的旷野，就在那里的山下安营。
3 Forsothe Moises stiede in to the hil to God; and the Lord clepide hym fro the mount, and seide, Thou schalt seie these thingis to the hows of Jacob, and thou schalt telle to the sones of Israel,
摩西到 神那里，耶和华从山上呼唤他说：“你要这样告诉雅各家，晓谕以色列人说：
4 Ye silf han seyn what thingis Y haue do to Egipcians, how Y bar you on the wengis of eglis, and took to me.
‘我向埃及人所行的事，你们都看见了，且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。
5 Therfor if ye schulen here my vois, and schulen kepe my couenaunt, ye schulen be to me in to a specialte of alle puplis; for al the lond is myn;
如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。
6 and ye schulen be to me in to a rewme of preesthod, and `ye schulen be an hooli folk; these ben the wordis whiche thou schalt speke to the sones of Israel.
你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。’这些话你要告诉以色列人。”
7 Moyses cam, and whanne the gretter men in birthe of the puple weren clepid to gidere, he expownede alle the wordis whiche the Lord comaundide.
摩西去召了民间的长老来，将耶和华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。
8 And alle the puple answeride to gidere, We schulen do alle thingis whiche the Lord spak. And whanne Moises hadde teld the wordis of the puple to the Lord,
百姓都同声回答说：“凡耶和华所说的，我们都要遵行。”摩西就将百姓的话回复耶和华。
9 the Lord seide to hym, Riyt now Y schal come to thee in a derknesse of a cloude, that the puple here me spekynge to thee, and bileue to thee withouten ende. Therfor Moises telde the wordis of the puple to the Lord,
耶和华对摩西说：“我要在密云中临到你那里，叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见，也可以永远信你了。”于是，摩西将百姓的话奏告耶和华。
10 which seide to Moises, Go thou to the puple, and make hem holi to dai and to morewe, and waische thei her clothis,
耶和华又对摩西说：“你往百姓那里去，叫他们今天明天自洁，又叫他们洗衣服。
11 and be thei redi in to the thridde dai; for in the thridde dai the Lord schal come doun bifore al the puple on the hil of Synai.
到第三天要预备好了，因为第三天耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山上。
12 And thou schalt sette termes to the puple, bi cumpas; and thou schalt seie to hem, Be ye war, that ye `stie not in to the hil, nether touche ye the endis therof; ech man that schal touche the hil, schal die bi deeth.
你要在山的四围给百姓定界限，说：‘你们当谨慎，不可上山去，也不可摸山的边界；凡摸这山的，必要治死他。
13 Hondis schulen not touche hym, but he schal be oppressid with stoonus, ethir he shall be persid with dartis; whether it schal be a beest, ethir a man, it schal not lyue; whanne a clarioun schal bigynne to sowne, thanne `stie thei in to the hil.
不可用手摸他，必用石头打死，或用箭射透；无论是人是牲畜，都不得活。到角声拖长的时候，他们才可到山根来。’”
14 And Moises cam doun fro the hil to the puple, and halewide it; and whanne thei hadden waischun her clothis,
摩西下山往百姓那里去，叫他们自洁，他们就洗衣服。
15 he seide to hem, Be ye redi in to the thridde dai, neiye ye not to youre wyues.
他对百姓说：“到第三天要预备好了。不可亲近女人。”
16 And now the thridde day was comun, and the morewetid was cleer; and, lo! thundris bigunnen to be herd, and leitis to schyne, and a moost thicke cloude to hile the mounteyn; and `the sownyng of a clarioun made noise ful greetli, and the puple dredde, that was in the castels.
到了第三天早晨，在山上有雷轰、闪电，和密云，并且角声甚大，营中的百姓尽都发颤。
17 And whanne Moises hadde led hem out in to the comyng of God, fro the place of castels, thei stoden at the rootis of the hil.
摩西率领百姓出营迎接 神，都站在山下。
18 Forsothe al the hil of Synai smokide, for the Lord hadde come doun theronne in fier; and smoke stiede therof as of a furneis, and al the hil was ferdful;
西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降于山上。山的烟气上腾，如烧窑一般，遍山大大地震动。
19 and the `sown of a clarioun encreesside litil and litil, and was holdun forth lengere. Moises spak, and the Lord answeride to hym,
角声渐渐地高而又高，摩西就说话， 神有声音答应他。
20 and the Lord cam doun on the hil of Synay, in thilke cop of the hil, and clepide Moises to the cop therof. And whanne he hadde stied thidur,
耶和华降临在西奈山顶上，耶和华召摩西上山顶，摩西就上去。
21 the Lord seide to hym, Go thou doun, and witnesse thou to the puple, lest perauenture it wole passe the termes to se the Lord, and ful greet multitude therof perische;
耶和华对摩西说：“你下去嘱咐百姓，不可闯过来到我面前观看，恐怕他们有多人死亡；
22 also preestis, that neiyen to the Lord, be halewid, lest Y smyte hem.
又叫亲近我的祭司自洁，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”
23 And Moises seide to the Lord, The comyn puple may not stie in to the hil of Synai; for thou hast witnessid, and hast comaundid, seiyinge, Sette thou termes aboute the hil, and halewe it.
摩西对耶和华说：“百姓不能上西奈山，因为你已经嘱咐我们说：‘要在山的四围定界限，叫山成圣。’”
24 To whom the Lord seide, Go thou doun, and thou schalt stie, and Aaron with thee; forsothe the preestis and the puple passe not the termes, nethir stie thei to the Lord, lest perauenture he sle hem.
耶和华对他说：“下去吧，你要和亚伦一同上来；只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”
25 Moises yede doun to the puple, and telde alle thingis to hem.
于是摩西下到百姓那里告诉他们。
