Exodus 6

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.

耶和华对摩西说：“现在你必看见我向法老所行的事，使他因我大能的手容以色列人去，且把他们赶出他的地。”

2 And God spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:

神晓谕摩西说：“我是耶和华。

3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;

我从前向亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各显现为全能的 神；至于我名耶和华，他们未曾知道。

4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.

我与他们坚定所立的约，要把他们寄居的迦南地赐给他们。

5 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.

我也听见以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀声，我也记念我的约。

6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;

所以你要对以色列人说：‘我是耶和华；我要用伸出来的膀臂重重地刑罚埃及人，救赎你们脱离他们的重担，不做他们的苦工。

7 And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:

我要以你们为我的百姓，我也要作你们的 神。你们要知道我是耶和华—你们的 神，是救你们脱离埃及人之重担的。

8 And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.

我起誓应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地，我要把你们领进去，将那地赐给你们为业。我是耶和华。’”

9 And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.

摩西将这话告诉以色列人，只是他们因苦工愁烦，不肯听他的话。

10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

耶和华晓谕摩西说：

11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

“你进去对埃及王法老说，要容以色列人出他的地。”

12 And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.

摩西在耶和华面前说：“以色列人尚且不听我的话，法老怎肯听我这拙口笨舌的人呢？”

13 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦往以色列人和埃及王法老那里去，把以色列人从埃及地领出来。

26 The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:

耶和华说：“将以色列人按着他们的军队从埃及地领出来。”这是对那亚伦、摩西说的。

27 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.

对埃及王法老说要将以色列人从埃及领出来的，就是这摩西、亚伦。

当耶和华在埃及地对摩西说话的日子，

29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.

他向摩西说：“我是耶和华；我对你说的一切话，你都要告诉埃及王法老。”

30 And Moses said before Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?

摩西在耶和华面前说：“看哪，我是拙口笨舌的人，法老怎肯听我呢？”
