出埃及記 3
1 摩西牧養他岳父米甸祭司葉忒羅的羊群；一日領羊群往野外去，到了上帝的山，就是何烈山。
Forsothe Moises kepte the scheep of Jetro, `his wyues fadir, preest of Madian; and whanne he hadde dryue the floc to the ynnere partis of deseert, he cam to Oreb, the hil of God.
2 耶和華的使者從荊棘裏火焰中向摩西顯現。摩西觀看，不料，荊棘被火燒着，卻沒有燒毀。
Forsothe the Lord apperide to hym in the flawme of fier fro the myddis of the buysch, and he seiy that the buysch brente, and was not forbrent.
3 摩西說：「我要過去看這大異象，這荊棘為何沒有燒壞呢？」
Therfor Moyses seide, Y schal go and schal se this greet siyt, whi the buysch is not forbrent.
4 耶和華上帝見他過去要看，就從荊棘裏呼叫說：「摩西！摩西！」他說：「我在這裏。」
Sotheli the Lord seiy that Moises yede to se, and he clepide Moises fro the myddis of the buysch, and seide, Moyses! Moises! Which answeride, Y am present.
5 上帝說：「不要近前來。當把你腳上的鞋脫下來，因為你所站之地是聖地」；
And the Lord seide, Neiye thou not hidur, but vnbynde thou the scho of thi feet, for the place in which thou stondist is hooli lond.
6 又說：「我是你父親的上帝，是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝。」摩西蒙上臉，因為怕看上帝。
And the Lord seide, Y am God of thi fadir, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. Moises hidde his face, for he durste not biholde ayens God.
7 耶和華說：「我的百姓在埃及所受的困苦，我實在看見了；他們因受督工的轄制所發的哀聲，我也聽見了。我原知道他們的痛苦，
To whom the Lord seide, Y seiy the affliccion of my puple in Egipt, and Y herde the cry therof, for the hardnesse of hem that ben souereyns of werkis.
8 我下來是要救他們脫離埃及人的手，領他們出了那地，到美好、寬闊、流奶與蜜之地，就是到迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人之地。
And Y knew the sorewe of the puple, and Y cam down to delyuere it fro the hondis of Egipcians, and lede out of that lond in to a good lond and brood, into a lond that flowith with milk and hony, to the places of Cananey, and of Ethei, of Amorrey, and of Feresei, of Euey, and of Jebusei.
9 現在以色列人的哀聲達到我耳中，我也看見埃及人怎樣欺壓他們。
Therfor the cry of the sones of Israel cam to me, and Y seiy the turment of hem, bi which thei ben oppressid of Egipcians.
10 故此，我要打發你去見法老，使你可以將我的百姓以色列人從埃及領出來。」
But come thou, I schal sende thee to Farao, that thou lede out my puple, the sones of Israel, fro Egipt.
11 摩西對上帝說：「我是甚麼人，竟能去見法老，將以色列人從埃及領出來呢？」
And Moises seide to hym, Who am Y, that Y go to Farao, and lede out the sones of Israel fro Egipt?
12 上帝說：「我必與你同在。你將百姓從埃及領出來之後，你們必在這山上事奉我；這就是我打發你去的證據。」
And the Lord seide to Moises, Y schal be with thee, and thou schalt haue this signe, that Y haue sent thee, whanne thou hast led out my puple fro Egipt, thou schalt offre to God on this hil.
13 摩西對上帝說：「我到以色列人那裏，對他們說：『你們祖宗的上帝打發我到你們這裏來。』他們若問我說：『他叫甚麼名字？』我要對他們說甚麼呢？」
Moises seide to God, Lo! Y schal go to the sones of Israel, and Y schal seie to hem, God of youre fadris sente me to you; if thei schulen seie to me, what is his name, what schal Y seie to hem?
14 上帝對摩西說：「我是自有永有的」；又說：「你要對以色列人這樣說：『那自有的打發我到你們這裏來。』」
The Lord seide to Moises, Y am that am. The Lord seide, Thus thou schalt seie to the sones of Israel, He that is sente me to you.
15 上帝又對摩西說：「你要對以色列人這樣說：『耶和華－你們祖宗的上帝，就是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝，打發我到你們這裏來。』耶和華是我的名，直到永遠；這也是我的紀念，直到萬代。
And eft God seide to Moises, Thou schalt seie these thingis to the sones of Israel, The Lord God of youre fadris, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, sente me to you; this name is to me with outen ende, and this is my memorial in generacioun and in to generacioun.
16 你去招聚以色列的長老，對他們說：『耶和華－你們祖宗的上帝，就是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝，向我顯現，說：我實在眷顧了你們，我也看見埃及人怎樣待你們。
Go thou, gadere thou the eldere men, that is, iugis, of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God of youre fadris apperide to me, God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob, and seide, Y visitynge haue visitid you, and Y seiy alle thingis that bifelden to you in Egipt;
17 我也說：要將你們從埃及的困苦中領出來，往迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人的地去，就是到流奶與蜜之地。』
and Y seide, that Y lede out you fro the affliccioun of Egipt in to the lond of Cananey, and of Ethei, and of Amorrei, and of Ferezei and of Euei, and of Jebusei, to the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
18 他們必聽你的話。你和以色列的長老要去見埃及王，對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝遇見了我們，現在求你容我們往曠野去，走三天的路程，為要祭祀耶和華－我們的上帝。』
And thei schulen here thi vois; and thou schalt entre, and the eldere men of Israel to the kyng of Egipt, and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord God of Ebrews clepide vs; we schulen go the weie of thre daies in to wildirnesse, that we offre to oure Lord God.
19 我知道雖用大能的手，埃及王也不容你們去。
But Y woot, that the kyng of Egipt schal not delyuere you that ye go, but bi strong hond;
20 我必伸手在埃及中間施行我一切的奇事，攻擊那地，然後他才容你們去。
for Y schal holde forthe myn hond, and I schal smyte Egipt in alle my marueils, whiche Y schal do in the myddis of hem; aftir these thingis he schal delyuere you.
21 我必叫你們在埃及人眼前蒙恩，你們去的時候就不至於空手而去。
And Y schal yyue grace to this puple bifore Egipcians, and whanne ye schulen go out, ye schulen not go out voide;
22 但各婦女必向她的鄰舍，並居住在她家裏的女人，要金器銀器和衣裳，好給你們的兒女穿戴。這樣你們就把埃及人的財物奪去了。」
but a womman schal axe of hir neiyboresse and of her hoosteesse siluerne vesselis, and goldun, and clothis, and ye schulen putte tho on youre sones and douytris, and ye schulen make nakid Egipt.
