以色列人在西奈山

19 以色列人出埃及地以后,第三个月的初一,就在那一天他们来到了西奈的旷野。 他们从利非订起程,来到西奈的旷野,在那里的山下安营。 摩西到 神那里,耶和华从山上呼唤他说:“你要这样告诉雅各家,对以色列人说: ‘我向埃及人所行的事,你们都看见了, 我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上,带你们来归我。 如今你们若真的听从我的话,遵守我的约,就要在万民中作属我的子民[a],因为全地都是我的。 你们要归我作祭司的国度,为神圣的国民。’这些话你要告诉以色列人。”

摩西去召了百姓中的长老来,将耶和华吩咐他的话当面告诉他们。 百姓都同声回答:“凡耶和华所说的,我们一定遵行。”摩西就将百姓的话回覆耶和华。 耶和华对摩西说:“看哪,我要在密云中临到你那里,叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见,就可以永远相信你了。”于是,摩西将百姓的话禀告耶和华。 10 耶和华对摩西说:“你往百姓那里去,使他们今天明天分别为圣,又叫他们洗衣服。 11 第三天要预备好,因为第三天耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山 12 你要在山的周围给百姓划定界限,说:‘你们当谨慎,不可上山去,也不可摸山的边界。凡摸这山的,必被处死。 13 不可用手碰他,要用石头打死,或射死;无论是人是牲畜,都不可活。’到角声拉长的时候,他们才可到山脚来。” 14 摩西下山到百姓那里去,使他们分别为圣,他们就洗衣服。 15 他对百姓说:“第三天要预备好;不可亲近女人。”

16 到了第三天早晨,山上有雷轰、闪电和密云,并且角声非常响亮,营中的百姓尽都战抖。 17 摩西率领百姓出营迎见 神,都站在山下。 18 西奈山全山冒烟,因为耶和华在火中降临山上。山的烟雾上腾,仿佛烧窑,整座山剧烈震动。 19 角声越来越响,摩西说话, 神以声音回答他。 20 耶和华降临在西奈山顶上,耶和华召摩西上山顶,摩西就上去了。 21 耶和华对摩西说:“你下去警告百姓,免得他们闯过来看耶和华,就会有许多人死亡。 22 那些亲近耶和华的祭司也要把自己分别为圣,免得耶和华忽然出来击杀他们。” 23 摩西对耶和华说:“百姓不能上西奈山,因为你已经警告我们说:‘要在山的周围划定界限,使山成圣。’” 24 耶和华对他说:“下去吧,你要和亚伦一起上来;只是祭司和百姓不可闯上来到耶和华这里,免得耶和华忽然出来击杀他们。” 25 于是,摩西下到百姓那里告诉他们。

Israel at Mount Sinai

19 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, (A)they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. For they had departed from (B)Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before (C)the mountain.

And (D)Moses went up to God, and the Lord (E)called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: (F)‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (G)I [a]bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now (H)therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and (I)keep My covenant, then (J)you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is (K)Mine. And you shall be to Me a (L)kingdom of priests and a (M)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

So Moses came and called for the (N)elders of the people, and [b]laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him. Then (O)all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord. And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you (P)in the thick cloud, (Q)that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.”

So Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.

10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (R)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. (S)Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”

14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; (T)do not come near your wives.”

16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were (U)thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp (V)trembled. 17 And (W)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (X)Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon (Y)it in fire. (Z)Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and [c]the (AA)whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, (AB)Moses spoke, and (AC)God answered him by voice. 20 Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through (AD)to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish. 22 Also let the (AE)priests who come near the Lord (AF)consecrate themselves, lest the Lord (AG)break out against them.”

23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, (AH)‘Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.’ ”

24 Then the Lord said to him, “Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

Israel at Mount Sinai

19 On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they (A)came into the wilderness of Sinai. They set out from (B)Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before (C)the mountain, while (D)Moses went up to God. (E)The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: (F)‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (G)I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be (H)my treasured possession among all peoples, for (I)all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a (J)kingdom of priests and (K)a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”

So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. (L)All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord. And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you (M)in a thick cloud, that (N)the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also (O)believe you forever.”

When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord, 10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (P)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them (Q)wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day (R)the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. (S)Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;[a] whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When (T)the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” 14 So Moses (U)went down from the mountain to the people and (V)consecrated the people; (W)and they washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the (X)third day; (Y)do not go near a woman.”

16 On the morning of the (Z)third day there were (AA)thunders and lightnings and (AB)a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud (AC)trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp (AD)trembled. 17 Then (AE)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (AF)Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and (AG)the whole mountain trembled greatly. 19 And as the (AH)sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and (AI)God answered him in thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord (AJ)to look and many of them perish. 22 Also let the priests who come near to the Lord (AK)consecrate themselves, lest the Lord (AL)break out against them.” 23 And Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, (AM)‘Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.’” 24 And the Lord said to him, “Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people (AN)break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.

Israel en el monte Sinaí

19 Los hijos de Israel llegaron al desierto de Sinaí al cumplirse tres meses de haber salido de la tierra de Egipto. Después de salir de Refidín, llegaron al desierto de Sinaí y acamparon en el desierto. Acamparon allí, delante del monte. El Señor llamó a Moisés desde el monte, y Moisés subió para hablar con Dios. Y Dios le dijo:

«Habla con la casa de Jacob. Diles lo siguiente a los hijos de Israel: “Ustedes han visto lo que he hecho con los egipcios, y cómo los he tomado a ustedes y los he traído hasta mí sobre alas de águila. Si ahora ustedes prestan oído a mi voz, y cumplen mi pacto, serán mi tesoro(A) especial por encima de todos los pueblos, porque toda la tierra me pertenece. Ustedes serán para mí un reino de sacerdotes(B) y un pueblo santo.(C) Estas mismas palabras les dirás a los hijos de Israel.”»

Moisés volvió y llamó a los ancianos del pueblo, y en su presencia expuso todas las palabras que el Señor le había mandado decir. Todo el pueblo respondió al unísono:

«Haremos todo lo que el Señor ha dicho.»

Y cuando Moisés refirió al Señor las palabras del pueblo, el Señor le dijo:

«Voy a venir en medio de una nube espesa, y desde allí hablaré para que el pueblo me oiga mientras hablo contigo, y también para que te crean siempre.»

Moisés refirió al Señor las palabras del pueblo, 10 y el Señor le dijo a Moisés:

«Ve al pueblo, y santifícalos hoy y mañana, y haz que laven sus vestidos 11 y se preparen para el tercer día, porque al tercer día yo, el Señor, descenderé sobre el monte Sinaí, a la vista de todo el pueblo. 12 Tú debes poner un límite alrededor del pueblo y decirles que se abstengan de subir al monte. Ni siquiera deben tocar sus límites, porque cualquiera que toque el monte, morirá. 13 Quien llegue a tocarlo, hombre o animal, será apedreado o traspasado por una flecha. No vivirá.(D) Sólo podrán subir al monte cuando la trompeta dé un toque largo.»

14 Moisés bajó del monte al pueblo, y lo santificó, y ellos lavaron sus vestidos. 15 Y Moisés le dijo al pueblo:

«Prepárense para el tercer día. No tengan ningún contacto con una mujer.»

16 Al tercer día por la mañana, hubo truenos y relámpagos,(E) y una espesa nube se posó sobre el monte, y hubo un fuerte sonido de bocina, y todo el pueblo que estaba en el campamento se estremeció. 17 Entonces Moisés sacó al pueblo del campamento para recibir a Dios, y se detuvieron al pie del monte. 18 Todo el monte Sinaí humeaba porque el Señor había descendido sobre él en fuego(F) y el humo subía como de un horno, y todo el monte se estremecía en extremo. 19 El sonido de la bocina iba en aumento, y Moisés hablaba y Dios le respondía con voz de trueno. 20 Entonces descendió el Señor sobre el monte Sinaí, sobre la cumbre del monte, y llamó el Señor a Moisés para que subiera a la cumbre, y Moisés subió. 21 Y el Señor le dijo a Moisés:

«Baja y dile al pueblo que no traspase los límites para verme, porque muchos de ellos morirán. 22 A los sacerdotes que se acercan a mí diles también que se santifiquen para que yo, el Señor, no haga en ellos ningún estrago.»

23 Moisés le dijo al Señor:

«El pueblo no podrá subir al monte Sinaí, porque tú nos has mandado poner límites al monte, y santificarlo.»

24 Y el Señor le dijo:

«Anda, baja, y sube luego con Aarón; pero ni los sacerdotes ni el pueblo deben traspasar el límite ni subir a donde estoy, para que no haga yo entre ellos ningún estrago.»

25 Y Moisés bajó del monte y le dijo esto al pueblo.
