Exodus 32
1 Bvt when the people sawe, that Moses taryed long or he came downe from the mountaine, the people gathered themselues together against Aaron, and sayde vnto him, Vp, make vs gods to goe before vs: for of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt) we knowe not what is become of him.
百姓見摩西遲延不下山，就大家聚集到亞倫那裏，對他說：「起來！為我們做神像，可以在我們前面引路；因為領我們出埃及地的那個摩西，我們不知道他遭了甚麼事。」
2 And Aaron said vnto them, Plucke off the golden earings, which are in the eares of your wiues, of your sonnes, and of your daughters, and bring them vnto me.
亞倫對他們說：「你們去摘下你們妻子、兒女耳上的金環，拿來給我。」
3 Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron.
百姓就都摘下他們耳上的金環，拿來給亞倫。
4 Who receiued them at their handes, and facioned it with the grauing toole, and made of it a molte calfe: then they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of ye lad of Egypt
亞倫從他們手裏接過來，鑄了一隻牛犢，用雕刻的器具做成。他們就說：「以色列啊，這是領你出埃及地的神。」
5 When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord.
亞倫看見，就在牛犢面前築壇，且宣告說：「明日要向耶和華守節。」
6 So they rose vp the next day in the morning, and offred burnt offerings, and brought peace offrings: also the people sate them downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.
次日清早，百姓起來獻燔祭和平安祭，就坐下吃喝，起來玩耍。
7 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go, get thee downe: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their wayes.
耶和華吩咐摩西說：「下去吧，因為你的百姓，就是你從埃及地領出來的，已經敗壞了。
8 They are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they haue made them a molten calfe and haue worshipped it, and haue offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt.
他們快快偏離了我所吩咐的道，為自己鑄了一隻牛犢，向它下拜獻祭，說：『以色列啊，這就是領你出埃及地的神。』」
9 Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people.
耶和華對摩西說：「我看這百姓真是硬着頸項的百姓。
10 Nowe therefore let mee alone, that my wrath may waxe hote against them, for I wil consume the: but I wil make of thee a mighty people.
你且由着我，我要向他們發烈怒，將他們滅絕，使你的後裔成為大國。」
11 But Moses praied vnto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypt, with great power and with a mightie hand?
摩西便懇求耶和華－他的上帝說：「耶和華啊，你為甚麼向你的百姓發烈怒呢？這百姓是你用大力和大能的手從埃及地領出來的。
12 Wherefore shall the Egyptians speake, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountaines, and to consume them from the earth? turne from thy fearce wrath, and change thy minde from this euill towarde thy people.
為甚麼使埃及人議論說『他領他們出去，是要降禍與他們，把他們殺在山中，將他們從地上除滅』？求你轉意，不發你的烈怒，後悔，不降禍與你的百姓。
13 Remember Abraham, Izhak, and Israel thy seruants, to whom thou swarest by thine owne selfe, and saydest vnto them, I wil multiply your seede, as the starres of the heauen, and all this land, that I haue spoken of, wil I giue vnto your seede, and they shall inherit it for euer.
求你記念你的僕人亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。你曾指着自己起誓說：『我必使你們的後裔像天上的星那樣多，並且我所應許的這全地，必給你們的後裔，他們要永遠承受為業。』」
14 Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people.
於是耶和華後悔，不把所說的禍降與他的百姓。
15 So Moses returned and went downe from the mountaine with the two Tables of the Testimonie in his hande: the Tables were written on both their sides, euen on the one side and on the other were they written.
摩西轉身下山，手裏拿着兩塊法版。這版是兩面寫的，這面那面都有字，
16 And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables.
是上帝的工作，字是上帝寫的，刻在版上。
17 And when Ioshua heard the noyse of the people, as they shouted, he said vnto Moses, There is a noyse of warre in the hoste.
約書亞一聽見百姓呼喊的聲音，就對摩西說：「在營裏有爭戰的聲音。」
18 Who answered, It is not the noyse of them that haue the victorie, nor the noyse of them that are ouercome: but I do heare ye noyse of singing.
摩西說：「這不是人打勝仗的聲音，也不是人打敗仗的聲音；我所聽見的乃是人歌唱的聲音。」
19 Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto the hoste, he sawe the calfe and the dancing: so Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine.
摩西挨近營前就看見牛犢，又看見人跳舞，便發烈怒，把兩塊版扔在山下摔碎了，
20 After, he tooke the calfe, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it vnto powder, and strowed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it.
又將他們所鑄的牛犢用火焚燒，磨得粉碎，撒在水面上，叫以色列人喝。
21 Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
摩西對亞倫說：「這百姓向你做了甚麼？你竟使他們陷在大罪裏！」
22 Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe.
亞倫說：「求我主不要發烈怒。這百姓專於作惡，是你知道的。
23 And they sayde vnto me, Make vs gods to go before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.)
他們對我說：『你為我們做神像，可以在我們前面引路；因為領我們出埃及地的那個摩西，我們不知道他遭了甚麼事。』
24 Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue golde, plucke it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calfe.
我對他們說：『凡有金環的可以摘下來』，他們就給了我。我把金環扔在火中，這牛犢便出來了。」
25 Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies)
摩西見百姓放肆（亞倫縱容他們，使他們在仇敵中間被譏刺），
26 And Moses stoode in ye gate of the campe, and sayde, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let him come to mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered themselues vnto him.
就站在營門中，說：「凡屬耶和華的，都要到我這裏來！」於是利未的子孫都到他那裏聚集。
27 Then he said vnto them, Thus sayth ye Lord God of Israel, Put euery man his sworde by his side: go to and from, from gate to gate, through the hoste, and slay euery man his brother, and euery man his companion, and euery man his neighbour.
他對他們說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝這樣說：『你們各人把刀跨在腰間，在營中往來，從這門到那門，各人殺他的弟兄與同伴並鄰舍。』」
28 So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men.
利未的子孫照摩西的話行了。那一天百姓中被殺的約有三千。
29 (For Moses had said, Cosecrate your hands vnto the Lord this day, euen euery man vpon his sonne, and vpon his brother, that there may be giuen you a blessing this day)
摩西說：「今天你們要自潔，歸耶和華為聖，各人攻擊他的兒子和弟兄，使耶和華賜福與你們。」
30 And when the morning came, Moses sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne.
到了第二天，摩西對百姓說：「你們犯了大罪。我如今要上耶和華那裏去，或者可以為你們贖罪。」
31 Moses therefore went againe vnto ye Lord, and said, Oh, this people haue sinned a great sinne, and haue made them gods of golde.
摩西回到耶和華那裏，說：「唉！這百姓犯了大罪，為自己做了金像。
32 Therefore now if thou pardon their sinne, thy mercy shall appeare: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, rase me out of thy booke, which thou hast written.
倘或你肯赦免他們的罪......不然，求你從你所寫的冊上塗抹我的名。」
33 Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke.
耶和華對摩西說：「誰得罪我，我就從我的冊上塗抹誰的名。
34 Go nowe therefore, bring the people vnto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall goe before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I wil visite their sinne vpon them.
現在你去領這百姓，往我所告訴你的地方去，我的使者必在你前面引路；只是到我追討的日子，我必追討他們的罪。」
35 So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.
耶和華殺百姓的緣故是因他們同亞倫做了牛犢。
