¹以色列人在西奈山扎营

¹In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,

²他们从利非订起行，来到西奈的旷野，就在旷野安营；以色列人在那座山前安了营。

²and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.

³　神所应许的约摩西上到　神那里去，耶和华从山上呼唤他，说：“你要这样告诉雅各家，吩咐以色列人说：

³And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, `Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,

⁴‘我向埃及人所行的，你们都看见了；也看见了我怎样像鹰一样把你们背在翅膀上，带领你们到我这里来。

⁴Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles` wings, and bring you in unto Myself.

⁵现在你们若是实在听我的话，遵守我的约，你们就必在万民中作属我的产业，因为全地都是我的。

⁵`And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;

⁶你们要归我作君尊的祭司和圣洁的国民。’这些话你都要对以色列人说。”

⁶and ye — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.`

⁷摩西去把人民的长老召了来，把耶和华吩咐他的这一切话都摆在他们面前。

⁷And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;

⁸人民都一致地回答，说：“凡是耶和华吩咐的，我们都要遵行。”摩西就去把人民的话回复耶和华。

⁸and all the people answer together and say, `All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;` and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

⁹立约前的准备耶和华对摩西说：“看哪，我要在密云中降临到你那里，为要使人民在我与你说话的时候可以听见，也可以永远信你。”于是，摩西把人民的话告诉了耶和华。

⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;` and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

¹⁰耶和华对摩西说：“你到人民那里去，要他们今天明天分别为圣，又要他们洗净自己的衣服；

¹⁰And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,

¹¹第三天，他们要准备好了，因为第三天耶和华要在全体人民眼前降临在西奈山。

¹¹and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.

¹²你要在山的周围给人民定界限，说：‘你们要谨慎，不可上山来，也不可触摸山脚；凡是触摸着那山的，必要把他处死。

¹²`And thou hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly put to death;

¹³不可用手触摸他，必须用石头把他打死，或用箭射透；无论是牲畜，是人，都不得生存。’当号角声拖长的时候，你们才可以上到山上来。”

¹³a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.`

¹⁴摩西从山上下来到人民那里去，使人民分别为圣，他们就把自己的衣服洗净了。

¹⁴And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;

¹⁵他对人民说：“第三天，你们要预备好了；不可亲近女人。”

¹⁵and he saith unto the people, `Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.`

¹⁶　神在西奈山显现到了第三天早晨的时候，山上有雷声、闪电和密云，并且角声非常强大，以致所有在营中的人民都颤抖。

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.

¹⁷摩西率领人民出营去迎接　神，他们都站在山下。

¹⁷And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,

¹⁸西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降临到山上；山的烟向上升，好像火窑的烟一样。全山猛烈震动。

¹⁸and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;

¹⁹角声越来越大，大到极点的时候，摩西就说话，　神用雷声回答摩西。

¹⁹and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.

²⁰耶和华降临在西奈山上，就是降临到山顶上；耶和华呼召摩西上山顶，他就上去了。

²⁰And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.

²¹耶和华对摩西说：“你下去警告人民，不可闯过来，到我这里观看，免得他们中间有很多人灭亡。

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;

²²又叫那些亲近耶和华的祭司分别为圣，恐怕耶和华忽然击杀他们。”

²²and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.`

²³摩西对耶和华说：“人民不能上西奈山，因为你曾经警告我们，说：‘要给山定界限，也要把山分别为圣。’”

²³And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.`

²⁴耶和华对他说：“下去吧，你要和亚伦一起再上来，只是祭司和人民都不可闯过来，上到我这里，恐怕我忽然击杀他们。”

²⁴And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.`

²⁵于是，摩西下到人民那里告诉他们。

²⁵And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
