1以色列人出埃及地以后,满了三个月的那一天,就来到的旷野。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.

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,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,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.”

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.

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.”

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.
