30.到了第二天,摩西對百姓說:「你們犯了大罪。我如今要上耶和華那裏去,或者可以為你們贖罪。」
The next day Moses said to the people, 「You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.」
31.摩西回到耶和華那裏,說:「唉!這百姓犯了大罪,為自己做了金像。
So Moses went back to the LORD and said, 「Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.
32.倘或你肯赦免他們的罪……不然,求你從你所寫的冊上塗抹我的名。」
But now, please forgive their sin-but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.」
33.耶和華對摩西說:「誰得罪我,我就從我的冊上塗抹誰的名。
The LORD replied to Moses, 「Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.
34.現在你去領這百姓,往我所告訴你的地方去,我的使者必在你面前引路;只是到我追討的日子,我必追討他們的罪。」
Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.」
35.耶和華殺百姓的緣故是因他們同亞倫做了牛犢。
And the LORD struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
