出埃及記 34:1-35

新的約版

1耶和華對摩西說:「你要鑿出兩塊石版,跟你之前摔碎的兩塊一樣,我要把前兩塊石版上的字刻在上面。 2你要預備好,明天清早你要上西奈山頂來見我。 3誰也不可與你同來,整座山上都不可有人,就是牛羊也不得在山前吃草。」 4於是,摩西鑿出兩塊石版,跟先前的兩塊一樣。他清早起來,照著耶和華的吩咐把石版帶到西奈山上。 5耶和華在雲中降臨和摩西一同站在那裡,宣告祂的名——耶和華。 6耶和華在摩西面前經過,並且宣告說:「我是耶和華,我是耶和華,是有憐憫和恩典的上帝,不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛,無比信實, 7向千萬人彰顯慈愛,赦免罪惡和過犯,但決不免除罪責,必向子孫追討父輩的罪債,直到三四代。」 8摩西急忙俯伏在地上敬拜, 9說:「主啊,如果我在你面前蒙了恩,求你與我們同行。雖然百姓頑固不化,求你赦免我們的過犯和罪惡,接納我們做你的子民。」

10耶和華說:「我要與你立約,我要在你的同胞面前行奇事,是天下萬國從未有過的奇事,你周圍的外族人必看見我為你做的偉大而可畏的事。 11你要遵行我今天的吩咐。我必從你面前驅逐亞摩利人、迦南人、人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人。 12你要謹慎,到了目的地後,不可與當地的居民立約,免得因此而陷入網羅。 13相反,要拆掉他們的祭壇,打碎他們的神柱,砍掉他們的亞舍拉神像。 14不可拜別的神明,因為耶和華是痛恨不貞的上帝,祂名為『痛恨不貞』。

15「不可與當地的居民立約,免得他們與自己的神明苟合時邀請你,你就吃他們的祭物, 16給兒子娶他們的女兒為妻,以致她們與自己的神明苟合時誘使你的兒子犯同樣的罪。

17「不可為自己鑄造神像。

18「要守除酵節,照我的吩咐在亞筆月所定的時間吃七天的無酵餅,因為你是在亞筆月離開埃及的。

19「凡是頭胎生的兒子都屬於我,包括牲畜中一切頭胎生的公牛和公羊。 20頭胎生的驢要用羊贖回,如果不用羊贖回,就要打斷牠的脖子。凡頭胎生的男嬰,都要贖回他的性命。誰也不可空手來朝見我。

21「一週工作六天,第七天要休息,就是耕種和收割時也要休息。

22「在收割初熟麥子的時候,要守七七收割節,年底要守收藏節。 23所有的男子都要一年三次來朝見主耶和華——以色列的上帝。 24我要從你面前趕走外族人,擴張你的領土。你一年三次來朝見你的上帝耶和華時,必沒有人貪戀你的土地。

25「不可把祭牲的血和有酵的餅一起獻給我。逾越節的祭物也不可留到第二天早晨。

26「要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你們的上帝耶和華的殿中。

「不可用母山羊的奶煮牠的小羊羔。」

27耶和華又對摩西說:「你要把我說的這些話記錄下來,因為我要按這些話跟你和以色列人立約。」 28摩西在耶和華那裡待了四十晝夜,沒吃也沒喝。耶和華把約的內容,就是十條誡命,寫在石版上。

29摩西手裡拿著兩塊約版下西奈山,他不知道自己因為曾與耶和華說話而臉上發光。 30亞倫和所有的以色列百姓看見摩西臉上發光,都不敢走近他。 31摩西召他們過來,亞倫和會眾的首領便上前來。摩西與他們說話。 32之後,所有的以色列人都來到他面前,他就把耶和華在西奈山上的吩咐都告訴他們。 33說完之後,他就用帕子遮住自己的臉。 34每當進到會幕跟耶和華說話時,他就揭開帕子,出來後便把耶和華的吩咐告訴以色列百姓。 35百姓會看到他臉上發光,於是他再用帕子遮住臉,直到下次與耶和華說話的時候才揭開。

New International Reader’s Version

Exodus 34:1-35

The New Stone Tablets

1The Lord said to Moses, “Cut out two stone tablets that are just like the first ones. I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2Be ready in the morning. Then come up on Mount Sinai. Meet with me there on top of the mountain. 3No one must come with you. No one must be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks and herds must be allowed to eat grass in front of the mountain.”

4So Moses carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai. He carried the two stone tablets in his hands. He did as the Lord had commanded him to do. 5Then the Lord came down in the cloud. He stood there with Moses and announced his name, the Lord. 6As he passed in front of Moses, he called out. He said, “I am the Lord, the Lord. I am the God who is tender and kind. I am gracious. I am slow to get angry. I am faithful and full of love. 7I continue to show my love to thousands of people. I forgive those who do evil. I forgive those who refuse to obey me. And I forgive those who sin. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”

8Moses bowed down to the ground at once and worshiped. 9“Lord,” he said, “if you are pleased with me, then go with us. Even though these people are stubborn, forgive the evil things we have done. Forgive our sin. And accept us as your people.”

10Then the Lord said, “I am making a covenant with you. I will do wonderful things in front of all your people. I will do amazing things that have never been done before in any nation in the whole world. The people you live among will see the things that I, the Lord, will do for you. And they will see how wonderful those things really are. 11Obey what I command you today. I will drive out the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites to make room for you. 12Be careful. Do not make a peace treaty with those who live in the land where you are going. They will be a trap to you. 13Break down their altars. Smash their sacred stones. Cut down the poles they use to worship the female god named Asherah. 14Do not worship any other god. The Lord is a jealous God. In fact, his name is Jealous.

15“Be careful not to make a peace treaty with the people living in the land. They commit sin by offering sacrifices to their gods. They will invite you to eat their sacrifices, and you will do it. 16You will choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons. And those daughters will commit sin by worshiping their gods. Then they will lead your sons to do the same thing.

17“Do not make any statues of gods.

18“Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, just as I commanded you. Do it at the appointed time in the month of Aviv. You came out of Egypt in that month.

19“Every male animal born first to its mother belongs to me. That includes your livestock. It includes herds and flocks alike. 20Sacrifice a lamb to buy back every male donkey born first to its mother. But if you do not buy the donkey back, break its neck. Buy back all your oldest sons.

“You must not come to worship me with your hands empty.

21“Do your work in six days. But you must rest on the seventh day. Even when you are plowing your land or gathering your crops, you must rest on the seventh day.

22“Celebrate the Feast of Weeks. Bring the first share of your wheat crop. Celebrate the Feast of Booths. Hold it in the fall. 23Three times a year all your men must come to worship me. I am your Lord and King, the God of Israel. 24I will drive out nations ahead of you. I will increase your territory. Go up three times a year to worship me. While you are doing that, I will keep others from wanting to take any of your land for themselves. I am the Lord your God.

25“Do not include anything made with yeast when you offer me the blood of a sacrifice. You must not keep any of the meat from the sacrifice of the Passover Feast until morning.

26“Bring the best of the first share of your crops to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down the words I have spoken. I have made a covenant with you and with Israel in keeping with those words.” 28Moses was there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights. He didn’t eat any food or drink any water. The Lord wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant law. Those words are the Ten Commandments.

The Face of Moses Shines

29Moses came down from Mount Sinai. He had the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. His face was shining because he had spoken with the Lord. But he didn’t realize it. 30Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses. His face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him. 31But Moses called out to them. So Aaron and all the leaders of the community came to him. And Moses spoke to them. 32After that, all the Israelites came near him. And he gave them all the commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

33Moses finished speaking to them. Then he covered his face with a veil. 34But when he would go to speak with the Lord, he would remove the veil. He would keep it off until he came out. Then he would tell the people what the Lord had commanded. 35They would see that his face was shining. So Moses would cover his face with the veil again. He would keep it on until he went in again to speak with the Lord.
