出埃及记 32
1 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。”
When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.”
2 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。”
So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环，拿来给亚伦。
All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
4 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。”
He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 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。”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
6 次日清早，百姓起来献燔祭和平安祭，就坐下吃喝，起来玩耍。
The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
7 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。
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 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。’”
They have quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'”
9 耶和华对摩西说：“我看这百姓真是硬着颈项的百姓。
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 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。”
Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
11 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。
But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 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。
Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your people.
13 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。’”
Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
14 于是耶和华后悔，不把所说的祸降与他的百姓。
Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
15 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，
Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
16 是 神的工作，字是 神写的，刻在版上。
The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
17 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。”
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat in the camp.”
18 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。”
But Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 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，
When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
20 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。
He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
21 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！”
Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
22 亚伦说：“求我主不要发烈怒。这百姓专于作恶，是你知道的。
Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
23 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。’
They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
24 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。”
So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 摩西见百姓放肆（亚伦纵容他们，使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺），
Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
26 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。
Then Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him.
27 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。’”
He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
28 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。
The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
29 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。”
Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
30 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。”
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 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。
Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
32 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。”
But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
33 耶和华对摩西说：“谁得罪我，我就从我的册上涂抹谁的名。
Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
34 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。”
So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 耶和华杀百姓的缘故是因他们同亚伦做了牛犊。
Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
