来到西奈山下

¹以色列人出埃及地以后，满了三个月的那一天，就来到西奈的旷野。In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.

²他们离了利非订，来到西奈的旷野，就在那里的山下安营。After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

神提出立约：作祭司的国度

³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，晓谕以色列人说：Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:

⁴‘我向埃及人所行的事，你们都看见了，且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

⁵如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

⁶你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。’这些话你要告诉以色列人。”And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”

百姓答应遵行

⁷摩西去召了民间的长老来，将耶和华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

⁸百姓都同声回答说：“凡耶和华所说的，我们都要遵行。”摩西就将百姓的话回复耶和华。And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

⁹耶和华对摩西说：“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，也可以永远信你了。”于是，摩西将百姓的话奏告耶和华。The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.

自洁预备，在山的四围定界限

¹⁰耶和华又对摩西说：“你往百姓那里去，叫他们今天明天自洁，又叫他们洗衣服。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

¹¹到第三天要预备好了，因为第三天耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山上。and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

¹²你要在山的四围给百姓定界限，说：‘你们当谨慎，不可上山去，也不可摸山的边界；凡摸这山的，必要治死他。And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

¹³不可用手摸他，必用石头打死，或用箭射透；无论是人是牲畜，都不得活。到角声拖长的时候，他们才可到山根来。’”No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”

¹⁴摩西下山往百姓那里去，叫他们自洁，他们就洗衣服。When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

¹⁵他对百姓说：“到第三天要预备好了。不可亲近女人。”“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”

神在火中降临西奈山

¹⁶到了第三天早晨，在山上有雷轰、闪电，和密云，并且角声甚大，营中的百姓尽都发颤。On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

¹⁷摩西率领百姓出营迎接　神，都站在山下。Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

¹⁸西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降于山上。山的烟气上腾，如烧窑一般，遍山大大地震动。Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

¹⁹角声渐渐地高而又高，摩西就说话，　神有声音答应他。And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

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。The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

²¹耶和华对摩西说：“你下去嘱咐百姓，不可闯过来到我面前观看，恐怕他们有多人死亡；and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.

²²又叫亲近我的祭司自洁，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

²³摩西对耶和华说：“百姓不能上西奈山，因为你已经嘱咐我们说：‘要在山的四围定界限，叫山成圣。’”But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

²⁴耶和华对他说：“下去吧，你要和亚伦一同上来；只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。”And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”

²⁵于是摩西下到百姓那里告诉他们。So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

十诫：敬拜神的诫命

¹神吩咐这一切的话说：And God spoke all these words:

²“我是耶和华—你的　神，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

³“除了我以外，你不可有别的神。You shall have no other gods before Me.

⁴“不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形象仿佛上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

⁵不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因为我耶和华—你的　神是忌邪的　神。恨我的，我必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

⁶爱我、守我诫命的，我必向他们发慈爱，直到千代。but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

¹¹因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海，和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

百姓害怕，远远站立

¹⁸众百姓见雷轰、闪电、角声、山上冒烟，就都发颤，远远地站立，When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

¹⁹对摩西说：“求你和我们说话，我们必听；不要　神和我们说话，恐怕我们死亡。”“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”

²⁰摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕；因为　神降临是要试验你们，叫你们时常敬畏他，不致犯罪。”“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”

²¹于是百姓远远地站立；摩西就挨近　神所在的幽暗之中。And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

筑坛的规定

²²耶和华对摩西说：“你要向以色列人这样说：‘你们自己看见我从天上和你们说话了。Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

²³你们不可做什么神像与我相配，不可为自己做金银的神像。You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.

²⁴你要为我筑土坛，在上面以牛羊献为燔祭和平安祭。凡记下我名的地方，我必到那里赐福给你。You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

²⁵你若为我筑一座石坛，不可用凿成的石头，因你在上头一动家具，就把坛污秽了。Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.

²⁶你上我的坛，不可用台阶，免得露出你的下体来。’”And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’

希伯来奴仆的条例

¹“你在百姓面前所要立的典章是这样：“These are the ordinances that you are to set before them:

²你若买希伯来人作奴仆，他必服事你六年；第七年他可以自由，白白地出去。If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything.

³他若孤身来就可以孤身去；他若有妻，他的妻就可以同他出去。If he arrived alone, he is to leave alone; if he arrived with a wife, she is to leave with him.

⁴他主人若给他妻子，妻子给他生了儿子或女儿，妻子和儿女要归主人，他要独自出去。If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

⁵倘或奴仆明说：‘我爱我的主人和我的妻子儿女，不愿意自由出去。’But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I do not want to go free,’

⁶他的主人就要带他到审判官（或译：　神；下同）那里，又要带他到门前，靠近门框，用锥子穿他的耳朵，他就永远服事主人。then his master is to bring him before the judges. And he shall take him to the door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he shall serve his master for life.

你仗着甚么权柄

²³耶稣进了殿，正教训人的时候，祭司长和民间的长老来问他说：“你仗着什么权柄做这些事？给你这权柄的是谁呢？”When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

²⁴耶稣回答说：“我也要问你们一句话，你们若告诉我，我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

²⁵约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的？是从天上来的？是从人间来的呢？”他们彼此商议说：“我们若说‘从天上来’，他必对我们说：‘这样，你们为什么不信他呢？’What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁶若说‘从人间来’，我们又怕百姓，因为他们都以约翰为先知。”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

²⁷于是回答耶稣说：“我们不知道。”耶稣说：“我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

两个儿子的比喻

²⁸又说：“一个人有两个儿子。他来对大儿子说：‘我儿，你今天到葡萄园里去做工。’But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

²⁹他回答说：‘我不去’，以后自己懊悔，就去了。‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

³⁰又来对小儿子也是这样说。他回答说：‘父啊，我去’，他却不去。Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

³¹你们想，这两个儿子是哪一个遵行父命呢？”他们说：“大儿子。”耶稣说：“我实在告诉你们，税吏和娼妓倒比你们先进　神的国。Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

³²因为约翰遵着义路到你们这里来，你们却不信他；税吏和娼妓倒信他。你们看见了，后来还是不懊悔去信他。”For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

恶园户的比喻

³³“你们再听一个比喻：有个家主栽了一个葡萄园，周围圈上篱笆，里面挖了一个压酒池，盖了一座楼，租给园户，就往外国去了。Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

³⁴收果子的时候近了，就打发仆人到园户那里去收果子。When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

³⁵园户拿住仆人，打了一个，杀了一个，用石头打死一个。But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

³⁶主人又打发别的仆人去，比先前更多；园户还是照样待他们。Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

³⁷后来打发他的儿子到他们那里去，意思说：‘他们必尊敬我的儿子。’Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

³⁸不料，园户看见他儿子，就彼此说：‘这是承受产业的。来吧，我们杀他，占他的产业！’But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’

³⁹他们就拿住他，推出葡萄园外，杀了。So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

⁴⁰园主来的时候要怎样处治这些园户呢？”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

⁴¹他们说：“要下毒手除灭那些恶人，将葡萄园另租给那按着时候交果子的园户。”“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

匠人所弃的石头

⁴²耶稣说：“经上写着：匠人所弃的石头已作了房角的头块石头。这是主所做的，在我们眼中看为希奇。这经你们没有念过吗？Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

⁴³所以我告诉你们，　神的国必从你们夺去，赐给那能结果子的百姓。Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

⁴⁴谁掉在这石头上，必要跌碎；这石头掉在谁的身上，就要把谁砸得稀烂。”He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

祭司长想要捉拿耶稣

⁴⁵祭司长和法利赛人听见他的比喻，就看出他是指着他们说的。When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

⁴⁶他们想要捉拿他，只是怕众人，因为众人以他为先知。Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
