出埃及 33
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
33 耶和华对摩西说：“我曾向亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各起誓，应许把迦南赐给他们的后代。现在你和你从埃及领出来的百姓要动身去那里。 2 我必差遣天使走在你们前面，赶出当地的迦南人、亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人， 3 带你们进入那奶蜜之乡。但我不会跟你们一起去，免得我在途中就把你们灭绝了，因为你们是顽固不化的百姓。”
4 百姓听见这坏消息，都非常哀伤，不再佩戴饰物了。 5 耶和华对摩西说：“你去向以色列百姓宣布，‘你们这些顽固不化的人，我就是跟你们在一起待一刻，都恐怕会灭绝你们。现在你们要摘下自己身上的饰物，我再决定怎样处置你们。’” 6 因此，以色列百姓从何烈山开始就不再佩戴饰物了。
耶和华的会幕
7 摩西通常把帐幕支搭在营外离百姓较远的地方，摩西称帐幕为会幕。凡求问耶和华的，都会去那里。 8 当摩西离营去会幕的时候，百姓就都一同起来，各人站在自己的帐篷门口目送摩西走进会幕。 9 摩西进入会幕后，便有云柱降下来，停在会幕门口，耶和华就跟摩西说话。 10 每当百姓看见这景象，他们都站在自己的帐篷门口敬拜耶和华。 11 在会幕内，耶和华跟摩西面对面说话，好像两个朋友谈话一样。然后，摩西返回营中，但他的年轻助手、嫩的儿子约书亚仍然留在会幕。
耶和华的荣耀
12 摩西对耶和华说：“你吩咐我带领这些百姓，却没有告诉我你将要派谁与我同去，只说，‘我凭名字认识你，你在我面前蒙了恩。’ 13 我若已经在你面前蒙恩，就求你把你的道路指示我，好让我认识你，继续在你面前蒙恩。求你顾念这些百姓是你的子民。” 14 耶和华回答他说：“我必亲自与你同去，使你平安稳妥。” 15 摩西说：“你若不与我们同去，就不要让我们离开这里。 16 你若不与我们同去，谁会知道我和你的子民在你面前蒙了恩呢？岂不是因为你的同在才使我们不同于地上其他民族吗？”
17 耶和华回答说：“我答应你的请求，因为你在我面前蒙了恩，我凭名字认识你。” 18 摩西说：“求你向我彰显你的荣耀。” 19 耶和华说：“我必叫你看见我一切的美善，我要在你面前宣告我的名——耶和华，我要恩待谁就恩待谁，我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁。 20 但你不能看我的脸，因为凡看见的，都不能存活。 21 你要站在我旁边的磐石上， 22 我的荣耀经过你面前的时候，我会先把你安置在石缝里，用我的手遮掩你，直到我从你面前走过。 23 然后我会收回我的手，你就可以看见我的背，但看不到我的脸。”
Exodus 33
1599 Geneva Bible
33 2 God promiseth to send an Angel before his people. 4 They are sad because the Lord denieth to go up with them. 9 Moses talketh familiarly with God. 13 He prayeth for the people.
1 Afterward the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, [a]go up from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt) unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, (A)Unto thy seed will I give it.
2 And (B)I will send an Angel before thee, and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
3 To a land, I say, that floweth with milk and honey: for I will not go up with thee, (C)because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard this evil tidings, they sorrowed, and no man put on his best raiment.
5 (For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people, I will come suddenly upon thee and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly raiment from thee, that I may know [b]what to do unto thee.)
6 So the children of Israel laid their good raiment from them, after Moses came down from the mount Horeb.
7 Then Moses took his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host far off from the host, and called it [c]Ohel-moed. And when any did seek to the Lord, he went out unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the host.
8 And when Moses went out unto the Tabernacle, all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tabernacle.
9 And as soon as Moses was entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10 Now when all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door, all the people rose up, and worshipped every man in his tent door.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, [d]face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. After he turned again into the host, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
12 ¶ Then Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Lead this people forth, and thou hast not showed me whom thou wilt send with me: thou hast said moreover, I know thee by [e]name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, and that I may find grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people.
14 And he answered, My [f][g]presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 Then he said unto him, If thy presence go not with us, carry us not hence.
16 And wherein now shall it be known, that I and thy people have found favor in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with us? so I, and thy people shall have preeminence before all the people that are upon the earth.
17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this also that thou hast said: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 Again he said, I beseech thee, show me thy [h]glory.
19 And he answered, I will make all my [i]good go before thee, and I will [j]proclaim the Name of the Lord before thee: (D)for I will show [k]mercy to whom I will show mercy, and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
20 Furthermore he said, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and [l]live.
21 Also the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by [m]me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:
22 And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with mine hand while I pass by.
23 After I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my [n]back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
