Exodus 6

1 But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

1 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 God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

2 神晓谕摩西说：「我是耶和华。

3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.

3 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 I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

4 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 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

5 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 tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

6 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 I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

7 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 that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

8 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 Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

9 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 So the LORD said to Moses,

10 耶和华晓谕摩西说：

11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”

11 「你进去对埃及王法老说，要容以色列人出他的地。」

12 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

12 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 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

13 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 It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”

26 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 Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

27 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。

28 Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

29 He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

29 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 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

30 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？」
