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 耶和華對摩西說：「現在你必看見我向法老所行的事，使他因我大能的手容以色列人去，且把他們趕出他的地。」

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

2 上帝曉諭摩西說：「我是耶和華。

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 我從前向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各顯現為全能的上帝；至於我名耶和華，他們未曾知道。

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

4 我與他們堅定所立的約，要把他們寄居的迦南地賜給他們。

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

5 我也聽見以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀聲，我也記念我的約。

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 所以你要對以色列人說：『我是耶和華；我要用伸出來的膀臂重重地刑罰埃及人，救贖你們脫離他們的重擔，不做他們的苦工。

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 我要以你們為我的百姓，我也要作你們的上帝。你們要知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝，是救你們脫離埃及人之重擔的。

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 我起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地，我要把你們領進去，將那地賜給你們為業。我是耶和華。』」

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 摩西將這話告訴以色列人，只是他們因苦工愁煩，不肯聽他的話。

10 So the LORD said to Moses,

10 耶和華曉諭摩西說：

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

11 「你進去對埃及王法老說，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 摩西在耶和華面前說：「以色列人尚且不聽我的話，法老怎肯聽我這拙口笨舌的人呢？」

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 耶和華吩咐摩西、亞倫往以色列人和埃及王法老那裏去，把以色列人從埃及地領出來。

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 耶和華說：「將以色列人按着他們的軍隊從埃及地領出來。」這是對那亞倫、摩西說的。

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

27 對埃及王法老說要將以色列人從埃及領出來的，就是這摩西、亞倫。

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

28 當耶和華在埃及地對摩西說話的日子，

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

29 他向摩西說：「我是耶和華；我對你說的一切話，你都要告訴埃及王法老。」

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

30 摩西在耶和華面前說：「看哪，我是拙口笨舌的人，法老怎肯聽我呢？」
