出埃及记 33
1 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“我曾起誓应许亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各说：‘要将迦南地赐给你的后裔。’现在你和你从埃及地所领出来的百姓，要从这里往那地去。
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.
2 我要差遣使者在你前面，撵出迦南人、亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，
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.
3 领你到那流奶与蜜之地。我自己不同你们上去；因为你们是硬着颈项的百姓，恐怕我在路上把你们灭绝。”
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.
4 百姓听见这凶信就悲哀，也没有人佩戴妆饰。
And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
5 耶和华对摩西说：“你告诉以色列人说：‘耶和华说：你们是硬着颈项的百姓，我若一霎时临到你们中间，必灭绝你们。现在你们要把身上的妆饰摘下来，使我可以知道怎样待你们。’”
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.
6 以色列人从住何烈山以后，就把身上的妆饰摘得干净。
So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
7 摩西素常将帐棚支搭在营外，离营却远，他称这帐棚为会幕。凡求问耶和华的，就到营外的会幕那里去。
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.
8 当摩西出营到会幕去的时候，百姓就都起来，各人站在自己帐棚的门口，望着摩西，直等到他进了会幕。
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.
9 摩西进会幕的时候，云柱降下来，立在会幕的门前，耶和华便与摩西说话。
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.
10 众百姓看见云柱立在会幕门前，就都起来，各人在自己帐棚的门口下拜。
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.
11 耶和华与摩西面对面说话，好像人与朋友说话一般。摩西转到营里去，惟有他的帮手—一个少年人嫩的儿子约书亚不离开会幕。
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.
12 摩西对耶和华说：“你吩咐我说：‘将这百姓领上去’，却没有叫我知道你要打发谁与我同去，只说：‘我按你的名认识你，你在我眼前也蒙了恩。’
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.
13 我如今若在你眼前蒙恩，求你将你的道指示我，使我可以认识你，好在你眼前蒙恩。求你想到这民是你的民。”
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.
14 耶和华说：“我必亲自和你同去，使你得安息。”
And he says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
15 摩西说：“你若不亲自和我同去，就不要把我们从这里领上去。
And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.
16 人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢？岂不是因你与我们同去、使我和你的百姓与地上的万民有分别吗？”
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.
17 耶和华对摩西说：“你这所求的我也要行；因为你在我眼前蒙了恩，并且我按你的名认识你。”
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.
18 摩西说：“求你显出你的荣耀给我看。”
And [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
19 耶和华说：“我要显我一切的恩慈，在你面前经过，宣告我的名。我要恩待谁就恩待谁；要怜悯谁就怜悯谁”；
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.
20 又说：“你不能看见我的面，因为人见我的面不能存活。”
And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
21 耶和华说：“看哪，在我这里有地方，你要站在磐石上。
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
22 我的荣耀经过的时候，我必将你放在磐石穴中，用我的手遮掩你，等我过去，
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.
23 然后我要将我的手收回，你就得见我的背，却不得见我的面。”
And I will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
