Exodus 33
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will 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 will send at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
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 And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by 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 having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
百姓聽見這凶信就悲哀，也沒有人佩戴妝飾。
5 For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will 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 So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
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 took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without 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 whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
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 when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to 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 saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door 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 the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
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 said to the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favour with me.
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 If then I have found favour in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favour in your sight, and that I may know that this great 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, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
耶和華說：「我必親自和你同去，使你得安息。」
15 And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.
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 how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
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 the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.
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 [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
摩西說：「求你顯出你的榮耀給我看。」
19 And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
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 And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
又說：「你不能看見我的面，因為人見我的面不能存活。」
21 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
耶和華說：「看哪，在我這裏有地方，你要站在磐石上。
22 and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall have passed 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 will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
然後我要將我的手收回，你就得見我的背，卻不得見我的面。」
