再鑿兩塊石版

¹耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你要鑿出兩塊石版，和先前你摔碎的那版一樣；其上的字我要寫在這版上。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

²明日早晨，你要預備好了，上西奈山，在山頂上站在我面前。Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.

³誰也不可和你一同上去，遍山都不可有人，在山根也不可叫羊群牛群吃草。」No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

⁴摩西就鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣。清晨起來，照耶和華所吩咐的上西奈山去，手裡拿著兩塊石版。So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.

神宣告祂的名

⁵耶和華在雲中降臨，和摩西一同站在那裡，宣告耶和華的名。And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.

⁶耶和華在他面前宣告說：「耶和華，耶和華，是有憐憫有恩典的　神，不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實，Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

⁷為千萬人存留慈愛，赦免罪孽、過犯，和罪惡，萬不以有罪的為無罪，必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代。」maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

摩西求神同行

⁸摩西急忙伏地下拜，Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.

⁹說：「主啊，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你在我們中間同行，因為這是硬著頸項的百姓。又求你赦免我們的罪孽和罪惡，以我們為你的產業。」“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

重申立約的條款

¹⁰耶和華說：「我要立約，要在百姓面前行奇妙的事，是在遍地萬國中所未曾行的。在你四圍的外邦人就要看見耶和華的作為，因我向你所行的是可畏懼的事。And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.

¹¹「我今天所吩咐你的，你要謹守。我要從你面前攆出亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

¹²你要謹慎，不可與你所去那地的居民立約，恐怕成為你們中間的網羅；Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.

¹³卻要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，砍下他們的木偶。Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.

¹⁵只怕你與那地的居民立約，百姓隨從他們的　神，就行邪淫，祭祀他們的神，有人叫你，你便吃他的祭物，Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.

¹⁶又為你的兒子娶他們的女兒為妻，他們的女兒隨從他們的神，就行邪淫，使你的兒子也隨從她們的神行邪淫。And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.

¹⁷「不可為自己鑄造神像。You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.

¹⁸「你要守除酵節，照我所吩咐你的，在亞筆月內所定的日期吃無酵餅七天，因為你是這亞筆月內出了埃及。You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

¹⁹凡頭生的都是我的；一切牲畜頭生的，無論是牛是羊，公的都是我的。The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.

²⁰頭生的驢要用羊羔代贖，若不代贖就要打折牠的頸項。凡頭生的兒子都要贖出來。誰也不可空手朝見我。You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.

²⁷耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你要將這些話寫上，因為我是按這話與你和以色列人立約。」The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

²⁸摩西在耶和華那裡四十晝夜，也不吃飯也不喝水。耶和華將這約的話，就是十條誡，寫在兩塊版上。So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

摩西面皮發光

²⁹摩西手裡拿著兩塊法版下西奈山的時候，不知道自己的面皮因耶和華和他說話就發了光。And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.

³⁰亞倫和以色列眾人看見摩西的面皮發光就怕挨近他。Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.

³¹摩西叫他們來；於是亞倫和會眾的官長都到他那裡去，摩西就與他們說話。But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

³²隨後以色列眾人都近前來，他就把耶和華在西奈山與他所說的一切話都吩咐他們。And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.

³³摩西與他們說完了話就用帕子蒙上臉。When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

³⁴但摩西進到耶和華面前與他說話就揭去帕子，及至出來的時候便將耶和華所吩咐的告訴以色列人。But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,

³⁵以色列人看見摩西的面皮發光。摩西又用帕子蒙上臉，等到他進去與耶和華說話就揭去帕子。and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.

守安息日

¹摩西招聚以色列全會眾，對他們說：「這是耶和華所吩咐的話，叫你們照著行：Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

²六日要做工，第七日乃為聖日，當向耶和華守為安息聖日。凡這日之內做工的，必把他治死。For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.

³當安息日，不可在你們一切的住處生火。」Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

為聖所獻上禮物

⁴摩西對以色列全會眾說：「耶和華所吩咐的是這樣：Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

⁵你們中間要拿禮物獻給耶和華，凡樂意獻的可以拿耶和華的禮物來，就是金、銀、銅，Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;

百姓甘心樂意奉獻

²⁰以色列全會眾從摩西面前退去。Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.

²¹凡心裡受感和甘心樂意的都拿耶和華的禮物來，用以做會幕和其中一切的使用，又用以做聖衣。And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

²²凡心裡樂意獻禮物的，連男帶女，各將金器，就是胸前鍼、耳環（或譯：鼻環）、打印的戒指，和手釧帶來獻給耶和華。So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.

²⁹以色列人，無論男女，凡甘心樂意獻禮物給耶和華的，都將禮物拿來，做耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的一切工。So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.

神揀選比撒列和亞何利亞伯

³⁰摩西對以色列人說：「猶大支派中，戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列，耶和華已經題他的名召他，Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

³¹又以　神的靈充滿了他，使他有智慧、聰明、知識，能做各樣的工，And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

工匠開工，禮物多到有餘

¹「比撒列和亞何利亞伯，並一切心裡有智慧的，就是蒙耶和華賜智慧聰明、叫他知道做聖所各樣使用之工的，都要照耶和華所吩咐的做工。」“So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the LORD, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

²凡耶和華賜他心裡有智慧、而且受感前來做這工的，摩西把他們和比撒列並亞何利亞伯一同召來。Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work.

³這些人就從摩西收了以色列人為做聖所並聖所使用之工所拿來的禮物。百姓每早晨還把甘心獻的禮物拿來。They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning,

⁴凡做聖所一切工的智慧人各都離開他所做的工，so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work

⁵來對摩西說：「百姓為耶和華吩咐使用之工所拿來的，富富有餘。」and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”

⁶摩西傳命，他們就在全營中宣告說：「無論男女，不必再為聖所拿甚麼禮物來。」這樣才攔住百姓不再拿禮物來。After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more,

⁷因為他們所有的材料夠做一切當做的物，而且有餘。since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.

十個童女的比喻

¹「那時，天國好比十個童女拿著燈出去迎接新郎。“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

²其中有五個是愚拙的，五個是聰明的。Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

³愚拙的拿著燈，卻不預備油；The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.

⁴聰明的拿著燈，又預備油在器皿裡。But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.

⁵新郎遲延的時候，她們都打盹，睡著了。When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

新郎來了

⁶半夜有人喊著說：『新郎來了，你們出來迎接他！』At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

⁷那些童女就都起來收拾燈。Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

⁸愚拙的對聰明的說：『請分點油給我們，因為我們的燈要滅了。』The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

⁹聰明的回答說：『恐怕不夠你我用的；不如你們自己到賣油的那裡去買吧。』‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

門就關了

¹⁰她們去買的時候，新郎到了。那預備好了的，同他進去坐席，門就關了。But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.

¹¹其餘的童女隨後也來了，說：『主啊，主啊，給我們開門！』Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’

¹²他卻回答說：『我實在告訴你們，我不認識你們。』But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

¹³所以，你們要警醒；因為那日子，那時辰，你們不知道。」Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

按才幹交託銀子的比喻

¹⁴「天國又好比一個人要往外國去，就叫了僕人來，把他的家業交給他們，For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.

¹⁵按著各人的才幹給他們銀子：一個給了五千，一個給了二千，一個給了一千，就往外國去了。To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.

¹⁶那領五千的隨即拿去做買賣，另外賺了五千。The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.

¹⁷那領二千的也照樣另賺了二千。Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.

¹⁸但那領一千的去掘開地，把主人的銀子埋藏了。But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

主人回來算帳

¹⁹過了許久，那些僕人的主人來了，和他們算帳。After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

²⁰那領五千銀子的又帶著那另外的五千來，說：『主啊，你交給我五千銀子。請看，我又賺了五千。』The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’

²¹主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

²²那領二千的也來，說：『主啊，你交給我二千銀子。請看，我又賺了二千。』The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’

²³主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

又惡又懶的僕人

²⁴那領一千的也來，說：『主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

²⁵我就害怕，去把你的一千銀子埋藏在地裡。請看，你的原銀子在這裡。』So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’

²⁶主人回答說：『你這又惡又懶的僕人，你既知道我沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.

²⁷就當把我的銀子放給兌換銀錢的人，到我來的時候，可以連本帶利收回。Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.

²⁸奪過他這一千來，給那有一萬的。Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.

²⁹因為凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪過來。For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
