Exodus 24

1 Now hee had said vnto Moses, Come vp to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel, and yee shall worship a farre off.

耶和華對摩西說：「你和亞倫、拿答、亞比戶，並以色列長老中的七十人，都要上到我這裏來，遠遠地下拜。

2 And Moses himselfe alone shall come neere to the Lord, but they shall not come neere, neither shall the people goe vp with him.

惟獨你可以親近耶和華；他們卻不可親近；百姓也不可和你一同上來。」

3 Afterwarde Moses came and told the people all the wordes of the Lord, and all the lawes: and all the people answered with one voyce, and said, All the things which the Lord hath said, will we doe.

摩西下山，將耶和華的命令典章都述說與百姓聽。眾百姓齊聲說：「耶和華所吩咐的，我們都必遵行。」

4 And Moses wrote all the wordes of the Lord, and rose vp early, and set vp an altar vnder the mountaine, and twelue pillars according to the twelue tribes of Israel.

摩西將耶和華的命令都寫上。清早起來，在山下築一座壇，按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子，

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offrings of bieues, and sacrificed peace offrings vnto the Lord.

又打發以色列人中的少年人去獻燔祭，又向耶和華獻牛為平安祭。

6 Then Moses tooke halfe of the blood, and put it in basens, and halfe of the blood he sprinckled on the altar.

摩西將血一半盛在盆中，一半灑在壇上；

7 After he tooke the booke of the couenant, and read it in the audience of the people: who said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do, and be obedient.

又將約書念給百姓聽。他們說：「耶和華所吩咐的，我們都必遵行。」

8 Then Moses tooke the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the couenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these things.

摩西將血灑在百姓身上，說：「你看！這是立約的血，是耶和華按這一切話與你們立約的憑據。」

9 Then went vp Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel.

摩西、亞倫、拿答、亞比戶，並以色列長老中的七十人，都上了山。

10 And they saw the God of Israel, and vnder his feete was as it were a worke of a Saphir stone, and as the very heauen when it is cleare.

他們看見以色列的上帝，他腳下彷彿有平鋪的藍寶石，如同天色明淨。

11 And vpon the nobles of the children of Israel he laide not his hande: also they sawe God, and did eate and drinke.

他的手不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他們觀看上帝；他們又吃又喝。

12 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Come vp to me into the mountaine, and be there, and I will giue thee tables of stone, and the law and the commandement, which I haue written, for to teach them.

耶和華對摩西說：「你上山到我這裏來，住在這裏，我要將石版並我所寫的律法和誡命賜給你，使你可以教訓百姓。」

13 Then Moses rose vp, and his minister Ioshua, and Moses went vp into the mountaine of God,

摩西和他的幫手約書亞起來，上了上帝的山。

14 And said vnto the Elders, Tary vs here, vntill we come againe vnto you: and beholde, Aaron, and Hur are with you: whosoeuer hath any matters, let him come to them.

摩西對長老說：「你們在這裏等着，等到我們再回來，有亞倫、戶珥與你們同在。凡有爭訟的，都可以就近他們去。」

15 Then Moses went vp to the mount, and the cloude couered the mountaine,

摩西上山，有雲彩把山遮蓋。

16 And the glorie of the Lord abode vpon mount Sinai, and the cloude couered it sixe dayes: and the seuenth day he called vnto Moses out of the middes of the cloude.

耶和華的榮耀停於西奈山；雲彩遮蓋山六天，第七天他從雲中召摩西。

17 And the sight of the glorie of the Lord was like consuming fire on the top of the moutaine, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

耶和華的榮耀在山頂上，在以色列人眼前，形狀如烈火。

18 And Moses entred into the middes of the cloude, and went vp to the mountaine: and Moses was in the mount fourtie dayes and fourty nightes.

摩西進入雲中上山，在山上四十晝夜。
