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。”
Exodus 33
Darby Translation
33 And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore 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 dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)
3 into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people,—lest I consume thee on the way.
4 And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.
5 Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
9 And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.
11 And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
12 And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
13 And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
14 And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.
16 And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes—I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.
17 And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
21 And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.
22 And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.
