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。
Jehovah spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'
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，
I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
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。”
to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."
4 百姓听见这凶信就悲哀，也没有人佩戴妆饰。
When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
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。’”
Jehovah said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to 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。
The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
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。
Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Jehovah went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside 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。
It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
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。
It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with 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。
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
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。
Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the Tent.
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。’
Moses said to Jehovah, "Look, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'
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。”
Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."
14 耶和华说：“我必亲自和你同去，使你得安息。”
He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will 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。
He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, do not carry us up from here.
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？”
For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of 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。”
Jehovah said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."
18 摩西说：“求你显出你的荣耀给我看。”
He said, "Please show me your glory."
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”；
He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
20 又说：“你不能看见我的面，因为人见我的面不能存活。”
He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
21 耶和华说：“看哪，在我这里有地方，你要站在磐石上。
Jehovah also said, "Look, there is a place by me, and you are to station yourself on 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，
It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I 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。”
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
