出埃及 34
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
新的约版
34 耶和华对摩西说：“你要凿出两块石版，跟你之前摔碎的两块一样，我要把前两块石版上的字刻在上面。 2 你要预备好，明天清早你要上西奈山顶来见我。 3 谁也不可与你同来，整座山上都不可有人，就是牛羊也不得在山前吃草。” 4 于是，摩西凿出两块石版，跟先前的两块一样。他清早起来，照着耶和华的吩咐把石版带到西奈山上。 5 耶和华在云中降临和摩西一同站在那里，宣告祂的名——耶和华。 6 耶和华在摩西面前经过，并且宣告说：“我是耶和华，我是耶和华，是有怜悯和恩典的上帝，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱，无比信实， 7 向千万人彰显慈爱，赦免罪恶和过犯，但决不免除罪责，必向子孙追讨父辈的罪债，直到三四代。” 8 摩西急忙俯伏在地上敬拜， 9 说：“主啊，如果我在你面前蒙了恩，求你与我们同行。虽然百姓顽固不化，求你赦免我们的过犯和罪恶，接纳我们做你的子民。”
10 耶和华说：“我要与你立约，我要在你的同胞面前行奇事，是天下万国从未有过的奇事，你周围的外族人必看见我为你做的伟大而可畏的事。 11 你要遵行我今天的吩咐。我必从你面前驱逐亚摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人。 12 你要谨慎，到了目的地后，不可与当地的居民立约，免得因此而陷入网罗。 13 相反，要拆掉他们的祭坛，打碎他们的神柱，砍掉他们的亚舍拉神像。 14 不可拜别的神明，因为耶和华是痛恨不贞的上帝，祂名为‘痛恨不贞’。
15 “不可与当地的居民立约，免得他们与自己的神明苟合时邀请你，你就吃他们的祭物， 16 给儿子娶他们的女儿为妻，以致她们与自己的神明苟合时诱使你的儿子犯同样的罪。
17 “不可为自己铸造神像。
18 “要守除酵节，照我的吩咐在亚笔月所定的时间吃七天的无酵饼，因为你是在亚笔月离开埃及的。
19 “凡是头胎生的儿子都属于我，包括牲畜中一切头胎生的公牛和公羊。 20 头胎生的驴要用羊赎回，如果不用羊赎回，就要打断它的脖子。凡头胎生的男婴，都要赎回他的性命。谁也不可空手来朝见我。
21 “一周工作六天，第七天要休息，就是耕种和收割时也要休息。
22 “在收割初熟麦子的时候，要守七七收割节，年底要守收藏节。 23 所有的男子都要一年三次来朝见主耶和华——以色列的上帝。 24 我要从你面前赶走外族人，扩张你的领土。你一年三次来朝见你的上帝耶和华时，必没有人贪恋你的土地。
25 “不可把祭牲的血和有酵的饼一起献给我。逾越节的祭物也不可留到第二天早晨。
26 “要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你们的上帝耶和华的殿中。
“不可用母山羊的奶煮它的小羊羔。”
27 耶和华又对摩西说：“你要把我说的这些话记录下来，因为我要按这些话跟你和以色列人立约。” 28 摩西在耶和华那里待了四十昼夜，没吃也没喝。耶和华把约的内容，就是十条诫命，写在石版上。
29 摩西手里拿着两块约版下西奈山，他不知道自己因为曾与耶和华说话而脸上发光。 30 亚伦和所有的以色列百姓看见摩西脸上发光，都不敢走近他。 31 摩西召他们过来，亚伦和会众的首领便上前来。摩西与他们说话。 32 之后，所有的以色列人都来到他面前，他就把耶和华在西奈山上的吩咐都告诉他们。 33 说完之后，他就用帕子遮住自己的脸。 34 每当进到会幕跟耶和华说话时，他就揭开帕子，出来后便把耶和华的吩咐告诉以色列百姓。 35 百姓会看到他脸上发光，于是他再用帕子遮住脸，直到下次与耶和华说话的时候才揭开。
Exodus 34
International Standard Version
The Tablets of the Law Replaced
34 The Lord told Moses, “Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I’ll write on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets that you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning on Mount Sinai, where you are to present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come up with you, nor is anyone to be seen anywhere on the mountain. Also, the sheep and cattle are not to graze in front of that mountain.”
4 So Moses[a] carved out two stone tablets like the first ones, got up early in the morning, and climbed Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him. He took with him the two stone tablets. 5 The Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed the name of the Lord.[b] 6 The Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed,
“The Lord, the Lord God,
compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger,
and filled with[c] gracious love and truth.
7 He graciously loves thousands,
and forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin.
But he does not leave the guilty unpunished,
visiting the iniquity of the ancestors on their children,
and on their children’s children
to the third and fourth generation.”
8 Moses quickly bowed to the ground and prostrated himself in worship. 9 He said, “If I’ve found favor in your sight, Lord, please, Lord, walk among us. Certainly this is an obstinate people, but pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your own inheritance.”
The Covenant Promises Repeated
10 Then the Lord said, “I’m now going to make a covenant. I’ll do miraculous deeds in full view of your people that haven’t been done[d] in all the earth or in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the Lord, because it’s an awesome thing that I’ll do with you. 11 Obey[e] what I am commanding you today and I’ll drive out from before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12 “Be very careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, so they won’t be a snare among you. 13 Rather, you are to tear down their altars, you are to smash their sacred pillars, and you are to cut down their sacred poles[f]— 14 indeed, you are not to bow down in worship to any other god, because the Lord’s name is Jealous—he’s a jealous God— 15 Otherwise, you may make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and when they prostitute themselves with their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, someone may invite you and then you may eat some of their sacrifices.
16 “You are not to take any of their daughters for your sons. Otherwise, when their daughters prostitute themselves with their gods, they may cause your sons to prostitute themselves with their gods.
17 “You are not to make molten gods for yourselves.
18 “You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days, at the appointed time in the month Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “Everything firstborn[g] belongs to me: all the males of your herds, the firstborn of both cattle and sheep. 20 You are to redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a sheep, and if you don’t redeem it, you are to break its neck. You are to redeem every firstborn of your sons, and no one is to appear before me empty-handed.
21 “For six days you are to work, but on the seventh day you are to rest; even during plowing time and harvest you are to rest.
22 “You are to observe the Festival of Weeks, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Tabernacles[h] at the turn of the year. 23 Three times during the year all your males are to appear in the presence of the Lord God of Israel, 24 since I’m going to drive out nations before you, and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land, when you go up to appear in the presence of the Lord your God three times a year.
25 “You are not to offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, nor are you to allow the sacrifice of the Festival of Passover to remain until morning.
26 “You are to bring the best[i] of the first fruits of the ground to the house of the Lord your God.
“You are not to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Then the Lord told Moses, “Write down these words, because I’m making a covenant with you and with Israel according to these words.”
28 While Moses[j] was there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights, he did not eat or drink.[k] He wrote the Ten Commandments, the words of the covenant, on the tablets.
Moses’ Face Shines
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he had the two tablets in his hand,[l] and he did not know that the skin of his face was ablaze with light because he had been speaking with God.[m] 30 Aaron and all the Israelis saw Moses and immediately noticed that the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 When Moses called to them, Aaron and the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterwards all the Israelis came near and he gave them everything the Lord told him on Mount Sinai as commandments. 33 When Moses finished speaking with them he put a veil over his face, 34 and then whenever Moses would come in the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he left the Lord’s presence.[n] When he went out, he would tell the Israelis what he had been commanded. 35 The Israelis would see the face of Moses and that the skin of his face shone; then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with God.[o]

Exodus 34
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
34 And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I will write upon them the words which were in the tables, which thou brokest.
2 Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.
3 Let no man go up with thee: and let not any man be seen throughout all the mount: neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it.
4 Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before: and rising very early he went up into the mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables.
5 And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.
6 And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,
7 Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.
8 And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring,
9 Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people,) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.
10 The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all. I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any nation: that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the terrible work of the Lord which I will do.
11 Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
12 Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin:
13 But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their groves:
14 Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is Jealous, he is a jealous God.
15 Make no covenant with the men of those countries lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.
16 Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods.
17 Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.
18 Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the month of the new corn: for in the month of the springtime thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All of the male kind, that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all beasts, both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.
20 The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty.
21 Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to plough, and to reap.
22 Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in.
23 Three times in a year all thy males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty Lord the God of Israel.
24 For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God thrice in a year.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven: neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the solemnity of the Lord.
26 The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
27 And the Lord said to Moses: Write these words by which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.
29 And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.
30 And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.
31 And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.
32 And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.
33 And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.
34 But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.
35 And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
