Išėjimas第19章

学习

   

1 Trečią mėnesį po to, kai išėjo iš Egipto, Izraelio vaikai tą pačią dieną atvyko į Sinajaus dykumą.

2 Nes jie buvo išėję iš efidimo ir, atėję į Sinajaus dykumą, apsistojo. Jie pasistatė stovyklą ties kalnu,

3 ir Mozė užkopė ant kalno pas Dievą. Viešpats pašaukė jį nuo kalno, sakydamas: “Taip sakysi Jokūbo namams ir Izraelio vaikams:

4 ‘Jūs matėte, ką padariau egiptiečiams, kaip nešiau jus lyg ant erelio sparnų ir atgabenau jus prie savęs.

5 Taigi dabar, jei paklusite mano balsui ir laikysitės mano sandoros, būsite ypatinga mano nuosavybė tarp visų tautų. Man priklauso visa žemė.

6 Jūs būsite man kunigų karalystė ir šventa tauta’. Šiuos žodžius kalbėk izraelitams”.

7 Sugrįžęs Mozė sušaukė tautos vyresniuosius ir jiems pranešė viską, ką Viešpats įsakė.

8 Tada visa tauta atsakė: “Visa, ką Viešpats kalbėjo, darysime”. Mozė perdavė tautos atsakymą Viešpačiui.

9 Viešpats sakė Mozei: “Aš ateisiu pas tave tirštame debesyje, kad, man kalbant su tavimi, tauta girdėtų ir tavimi tikėtų per amžius”. Mozė pranešė tautos žodžius Viešpačiui,

10 o Jis tarė Mozei: “Eik pas žmones ir pašventink juos šiandien ir rytoj. Teišsiskalbia jie drabužius

11 ir tepasirengia trečiajai dienai. Trečią dieną Aš nužengsiu ant Sinajaus kalno visai tautai matant.

12 Nužymėk ribas aplink kalną ir įsakyk žmonėms, kad nedrįstų lipti į kalną ar paliesti jo kraštą, nes kiekvienas, kuris palies kalną, numirs.

13 Kas palies, tas bus užmuštas akmenimis arba pervertas strėle; nei žmogus, nei gyvulys neišliks gyvas. Išgirdę ilgą trimito garsą, jie tepriartėja prie kalno”.

14 Mozė, grįžęs nuo kalno, pašventino žmones. Ir jie išsiplovė drabužius.

15 Jis jiems tarė: “Būkite pasiruošę trečiajai dienai; nė vienas tenesiartina prie savo žmonos!”

16 Trečiąją dieną, rytui išaušus griaudėjo perkūnija ir žaibavo, tamsūs debesys apdengė kalną ir pasigirdo labai stiprus trimito garsas. Visi žmonės stovykloje pradėjo drebėti.

17 Mozė išvedė tautą iš stovyklos susitikti su Dievu. Jie sustojo kalno papėdėje.

18 Visas Sinajaus kalnas buvo apgaubtas dūmų, nes Viešpats nužengė ugnyje ant jo. Dūmai kilo tarsi iš krosnies, visas kalnas smarkiai drebėjo.

19 Trimito garsas vis stiprėjo. Mozė kalbėjo, o Dievas jam atsakinėjo balsu.

20 Viešpats nužengė ant Sinajaus kalno viršūnės ir, pasišaukęs Mozę ant kalno,

21 jam tarė: “Nulipk žemyn, įspėk žmones, kad nesiveržtų, norėdami išvysti Viešpatį, ir daugelis jų nežūtų.

22 Taip pat ir kunigai, kurie artinasi prie Viešpaties, tegul pasišventina, kad Viešpats jų neištiktų”.

23 Mozė sakė Viešpačiui: “Žmonės negali užlipti į Sinajaus kalną. Tu mus įspėjai nužymėti ribą aplink kalną ir pašventinti jį”.

24 Viešpats jam atsakė: “Nusileisk ir grįžk su Aaronu. Tačiau kunigai ir tauta tegul nesiveržia prie Viešpaties, kad Jis jų nesunaikintų”.

25 Mozė grįžo pas tautą ir kalbėjo jiems.

8782. 'In order that the people may hear when I speak to you' means in order that those belonging to the spiritual Church may have some understanding of Divine things. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' as discerning, dealt with in 5017, and so having some understanding; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'the people' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with often; and from the meaning of 'when I speak' as Divine Truths, for 'Jehovah's voice' is Divine Truth, 219, 220, 3563, 6971, and so also is His speech.

Exodus第18章

学习

   

1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,

3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land".

4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "My father's God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh's sword."

5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.

6 He said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her."

7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.

8 Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.

9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yahweh had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10 Jethro said, "Blessed be Yahweh, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the thing in which they dealt arrogantly against them."

12 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all of the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

13 It happened on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.

14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, "What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?"

15 Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."

17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good.

18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone.

19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.

20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.

23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all of these people also will go to their place in peace."

24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard causes to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

27 Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
