出埃及记 33
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神命令以色列人起行
33 耶和華對摩西說:“你和你從埃及地領出來的人民要離開這裡,上我曾經起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的地去,我曾應許:‘我要把這地賜給你的後裔。’ 2 我要差派使者在你前面;我要把迦南人、亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人趕出去, 3 你們要上那流奶與蜜的地方去;我不與你們一同上去,因為你們是硬著頸項的人民,免得我在路上把你們消滅。” 4 人民一聽見這凶信,就悲傷起來,也沒有人穿戴裝飾。 5 耶和華對摩西說:“你要對以色列人說:‘你們是硬著頸項的民;我若是霎時間與你們同行,我會把你們消滅的;所以,現在你們要把你們身上的裝飾脫下來,使我知道我要怎樣處置你們。’” 6 於是,以色列人離開何烈山以後,就把身上的裝飾脫下來。
會幕
7 摩西一向把會幕支搭在營外,離營遠些;摩西稱它為會幕。凡是尋求耶和華的,就出到營外的會幕那裡去。 8 摩西出營到會幕去的時候,全體的人民都起來,各人站在自己帳幕的門口,望著摩西,直到他進了會幕。 9 摩西進會幕的時候,就有雲柱降下來,停在會幕門口上面;耶和華就與摩西談話。 10 全體的人民看見了雲柱停在會幕門口上面,就都起來,各人在自己帳幕的門口下拜。 11 耶和華與摩西面對面說話,好像人對朋友說話一樣。然後,摩西回到營裡去,只有他的侍從,一個少年人,就是嫩的兒子約書亞,不離開會幕。
摩西的祈求與耶和華的榮耀
12 摩西對耶和華說:“看,你吩咐我說:‘把這百姓領上去’,可是你卻沒有讓我知道你要差派誰與我同去;只是你曾經說過:‘我按著你的名字認識你,你在我眼前也蒙了恩。’ 13 現在我若是在你眼前蒙恩,求你把你的道路指示我,使我可以認識你,可以在你眼前蒙恩;也求你想到這民族是你的人民。” 14 耶和華說:“我必親自與你同去,也必給你安息。” 15 摩西對他說:“你若是不親自與我們同去,就不要把我們從這裡領上去。 16 人在甚麼事上可以知道我和你的人民在你眼前蒙恩呢?不是因為你與我們同去,使我和你的人民可以和地上所有的人有分別嗎?”
17 耶和華對摩西說:“你所說的這件事我也要作,因為你在我眼前蒙恩,並且我按著你的名字認識了你。” 18 摩西說:“求你給我看看你的榮耀。” 19 耶和華說:“我要使我的一切美善都在你面前經過,並且要把我的名字耶和華在你面前宣告出來;我要恩待誰,就恩待誰;我要憐憫誰,就憐憫誰。” 20 他又說:“你不能看我的臉,因為沒有人看見了我還能活著。” 21 耶和華說:“看哪,我這裡有個地方,你要站在磐石上。 22 我的榮耀經過的時候,我要把你放在磐石隙中,我要用我的手掌遮蓋你,直到我過去了。 23 然後,我要收回我的手掌,你就會看見我的背後,卻不能看見我的臉。”
Éxodo 33
Dios Habla Hoy
El Señor ordena seguir adelante
33 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
—Anda, vete de aquí con el pueblo que sacaste de Egipto. Vayan a la tierra que prometí a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob que daría a sus descendientes. 2 Yo enviaré mi ángel para que te guíe, y echaré fuera del país a los cananeos, amorreos, hititas, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos. 3 Vayan a la tierra donde la leche y la miel corren como el agua. Pero yo no iré entre ustedes, no vaya a ser que los destruya en el camino, pues ustedes son gente muy terca.
4 El pueblo se entristeció al escuchar estas duras palabras, y nadie se puso sus joyas, 5 pues el Señor le había dicho a Moisés:
—Diles a los israelitas: “Ustedes son gente muy terca. ¡Si yo estuviera entre ustedes aun por un momento, terminaría por destruirlos! Quítense ahora mismo sus joyas, y ya veré entonces qué hacer con ustedes.”
6 Y así, a partir del monte Horeb, los israelitas dejaron de usar sus joyas.
La tienda del encuentro con Dios
7 Moisés tomó la tienda de campaña y la puso a cierta distancia fuera del campamento, y la llamó tienda del encuentro con Dios. Cuando alguien quería consultar al Señor, iba a la tienda, la cual estaba fuera del campamento. 8 Y cuando Moisés iba a la tienda, toda la gente se levantaba y permanecía de pie a la entrada de su propia tienda de campaña, siguiendo a Moisés con la mirada hasta que éste entraba en la tienda. 9 En cuanto Moisés entraba en ella, la columna de nube bajaba y se detenía a la entrada de la tienda, mientras el Señor hablaba a Moisés. 10 Y cuando la gente veía que la columna de nube se detenía a la entrada de la tienda, cada uno se arrodillaba a la entrada de su propia tienda en actitud de adoración.
11 Dios hablaba con Moisés cara a cara, como quien habla con un amigo, y después Moisés regresaba al campamento. Pero su ayudante, el joven Josué, hijo de Nun, nunca se apartaba del interior de la tienda.
El Señor muestra su gloria a Moisés
12 Moisés le dijo al Señor:
—Mira, tú me pides que yo dirija a este pueblo, pero no me dices a quién vas a enviar conmigo. También dices que tienes mucha confianza en mí y que me he ganado tu favor. 13 Pues si esto es cierto, hazme saber tus planes, para que yo pueda tener confianza en ti y pueda seguir contando con tu favor. Ten en cuenta que este pueblo es tu pueblo.
14 —Yo mismo te acompañaré y te haré descansar —dijo el Señor.
15 Pero Moisés le respondió:
—Si tú mismo no vas a acompañarnos, no nos hagas salir de aquí. 16 Porque si tú no nos acompañas, ¿de qué otra manera podrá saberse que tu pueblo y yo contamos con tu favor? Sólo así tu pueblo y yo podremos distinguirnos de todos los otros pueblos de la tierra.
17 —Esto que has dicho también lo voy a hacer, porque tengo confianza en ti y te has ganado mi favor —le afirmó el Señor.
18 —¡Déjame ver tu gloria! —suplicó Moisés.
19 Pero el Señor contestó:
—Voy a hacer pasar toda mi bondad delante de ti, y delante de ti pronunciaré mi nombre. Tendré misericordia de quien yo quiera, y tendré compasión también de quien yo quiera. 20 Pero te aclaro que no podrás ver mi rostro, porque ningún hombre podrá verme y seguir viviendo.
21 Dijo también el Señor:
—Mira, aquí junto a mí hay un lugar. Ponte de pie sobre la roca. 22 Cuando pase mi gloria, te pondré en un hueco de la roca y te cubriré con mi mano hasta que yo haya pasado. 23 Después quitaré mi mano, y podrás ver mis espaldas; pero mi rostro no debe ser visto.
Exodus 33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 33
1 The Lord spoke to Moses: Go! You and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt are to go up from here to the land about which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: I will give it to your descendants.(A) 2 Driving out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, I will send an angel before you(B) 3 to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I myself will not go up in your company, because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise I might consume you on the way. 4 When the people heard this painful news, they mourned, and no one wore any ornaments.
5 The Lord spoke to Moses: Speak to the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. Were I to go up in your company even for a moment, I would destroy you. Now off with your ornaments! Let me think what to do with you. 6 So, from Mount Horeb onward, the Israelites stripped off their ornaments.
Moses’ Intimacy with God. 7 Moses used to pitch a tent(C) outside the camp at some distance. It was called the tent of meeting. Anyone who wished to consult the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, the people would all rise and stand at the entrance of their own tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses entered the tent, the column of cloud would come down and stand at its entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 On seeing the column of cloud stand at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise and bow down at the entrance of their own tents. 11 The Lord used to speak to Moses face to face,(D) as a person speaks to a friend. Moses would then return to the camp, but his young assistant, Joshua, son of Nun, never left the tent. 12 Moses said to the Lord, “See, you are telling me: Lead this people.(E) But you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said: You are my intimate friend;[a] You have found favor with me. 13 Now, if I have found favor with you, please let me know your ways so that, in knowing you, I may continue to find favor with you. See, this nation is indeed your own people. 14 The Lord answered: I myself[b] will go along, to give you rest. 15 Moses replied, “If you are not going yourself, do not make us go up from here. 16 For how can it be known that I and your people have found favor with you, except by your going with us? Then we, your people and I, will be singled out from every other people on the surface of the earth.” 17 The Lord said to Moses: This request, too, which you have made, I will carry out, because you have found favor with me and you are my intimate friend.
18 Then Moses said, “Please let me see your glory!” 19 The Lord answered: I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim my name, “Lord,” before you; I who show favor to whom I will, I who grant mercy to whom I will.(F) 20 But you cannot see my face,(G) for no one can see me and live.[c] 21 Here, continued the Lord, is a place near me where you shall station yourself on the rock. 22 When my glory passes I will set you in the cleft of the rock and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand, so that you may see my back; but my face may not be seen.
Footnotes
- 33:12 Intimate friend: lit., “know by name.” The root word meaning “know” or “make known” appears four times in vv. 12–13.
- 33:14 I myself: lit., “my face,” that is, “my presence.” The making of the calf (32:1–4) is an attempt to control the Lord’s presence. In response the Lord refuses to accompany the people (33:3) until Moses persuades him.
- 33:20 No one can see me and live: reflecting the tradition that to see God meant instant death. This is contradicted by the statements that Hagar (Gn 16:13), Jacob (Gn 32:31), and Manoah and his wife (Jgs 13:22) all “see God” and yet live (see also Ex 24:10–11).
Exodus 33
New International Version
33 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath(A) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(B) 2 I will send an angel(C) before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(D) 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.(E) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked(F) people and I might destroy(G) you on the way.”
4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn(H) and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.(I) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy(J) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.(K)
The Tent of Meeting
7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”(L) Anyone inquiring(M) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,(N) watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud(O) would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke(P) with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.(Q) 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,(R) as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua(S) son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Moses and the Glory of the Lord
12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’(T) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name(U) and you have found favor(V) with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways(W) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”(X)
14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(Y) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(Z)
15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(AA) does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us?(AB) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(AC)
17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(AD) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(AE)
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”(AF)
19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(AG) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(AH) the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.(AI) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(AJ) me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(AK) and cover you with my hand(AL) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
Exodus 33
King James Version
33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up 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, Unto thy seed will I give it:
2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that 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 it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
