出埃及记 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1摩西 回答说：「他们必不信我，也不听我的话，必说：『耶和华并没有向你显现。』」
1Then Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to my voice? For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
2耶和华对 摩西 说：「你手里是什么？」他说：「是杖。」
2And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.
3耶和华说：「丢在地上。」他一丢下去，就变作蛇； 摩西 便跑开。
3“Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and he ran from it.
4耶和华对 摩西 说：「伸出手来，拿住它的尾巴，它必在你手中仍变为杖；
4“Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail,” the LORD said to Moses, who reached out his hand and caught the snake, and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
5如此好叫他们信耶和华—他们祖宗的 神，就是 亚伯拉罕 的 神， 以撒 的 神， 雅各 的 神，是向你显现了。」
5“This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”
6耶和华又对他说：「把手放在怀里。」他就把手放在怀里，及至抽出来，不料，手长了大麻风，有雪 那样 白。
6Furthermore, the LORD said to Moses, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was leprous, white as snow.
7耶和华说：「再把手放在怀里。」他就再把手放在怀里，及至从怀里抽出来，不料，手已经复原，与周身的肉一样；
7“Put your hand back inside your cloak,” said the LORD. So Moses put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his skin.
8又说：「倘或他们不听你的话，也不信头一个神迹，他们必信第二个神迹。
8And the LORD said, “If they refuse to believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe that of the second.
9这两个神迹若都不信，也不听你的话，你就从河里取些水，倒在旱地上，你从河里取的水必在旱地上变作血。」
9But if they do not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. Then the water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”
10摩西 对耶和华说：「主啊，我素日不是能言的人，就是从你对仆人说话以后，也是这样。我本是拙口笨舌的。」
10“Please, Lord,” Moses replied, “I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since You have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and tongue.”
11耶和华对他说：「谁造人的口呢？谁使人口哑、耳聋、目明、眼瞎呢？岂不是我—耶和华吗？
11And the LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Or who makes the mute or the deaf, the sighted or the blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12现在去吧，我必赐你口才，指教你所当说的话。」
12Now go! I will help you as you speak, and I will teach you what to say.”
13摩西 说：「主啊，你愿意打发谁，就打发谁去吧！」
13But Moses replied, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”
14耶和华向 摩西 发怒说：「不是有你的哥哥 利未 人 亚伦 吗？我知道他是能言的；现在他出来迎接你，他一见你，心里就欢喜。
14Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well, and he is now on his way to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15你要将当说的话传给他；我也要赐你和他口才，又要指教你们所当行的事。
15You are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth. I will help both of you to speak, and I will teach you what to do.
16他要替你对百姓说话；你要以他当作口，他要以你当作 神。
16He will speak to the people for you. He will be your spokesman, and it will be as if you were God to him.
17你手里要拿这杖，好行神迹。」
17But take this staff in your hand so you can perform signs with it.”
18于是， 摩西 回到他岳父 叶忒罗 那里，对他说：「求你容我回去见我在 埃及 的弟兄，看他们还在不在。」 叶忒罗 对 摩西 说：「你可以平平安安地去吧！」
18Then Moses went back to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, “Please let me return to my brothers in Egypt to see if they are still alive.” “Go in peace,” Jethro replied.
19耶和华在 米甸 对 摩西 说：「你要回 埃及 去，因为寻索你命的人都死了。」
19Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who sought to kill you are dead.”
20摩西 就带着妻子和两个儿子，叫他们骑上驴，回 埃及 地去。 摩西 手里拿着 神的杖。
20So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey, and headed back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
21耶和华对 摩西 说：「你回到 埃及 的时候，要留意将我指示你的一切奇事行在法老面前。但我要使他的心刚硬，他必不容百姓去。
21The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
22你要对法老说：『耶和华这样说： 以色列 是我的儿子，我的长子。
22Then tell Pharaoh that this is what the LORD says: ‘Israel is My firstborn son,
23我对你说过：容我的儿子去，好事奉我。你还是不肯容他去。看哪，我要杀你的长子。』」
23and I told you to let My son go so that he may worship Me. But since you have refused to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son!’”
24摩西 在路上住宿的地方，耶和华遇见他，想要杀他。
24Now at a lodging place along the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him.
25西坡拉 就拿一块火石，割下他儿子的阳皮，丢在 摩西 脚前，说：「你真是我的血郎了。」
25But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched it to Moses’ feet. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.
26这样，耶和华才放了他。 西坡拉 说：「你因割礼就是血郎了。」
26So the LORD let him alone. (When she said, “bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.)
27耶和华对 亚伦 说：「你往旷野去迎接 摩西 。」他就去，在 神的山遇见 摩西 ，和他亲嘴。
27Meanwhile, the LORD had said to Aaron, “Go and meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him.
28摩西 将耶和华打发他所说的言语和嘱咐他所行的神迹都告诉了 亚伦 。
28And Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform.
29摩西 、 亚伦 就去招聚 以色列 的众长老。
29Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites,
30亚伦 将耶和华对 摩西 所说的一切话述说了一遍，又在百姓眼前行了那些神迹，
30and Aaron relayed everything the LORD had said to Moses. And Moses performed the signs before the people,
31百姓就信了。 以色列 人听见耶和华眷顾他们，鉴察他们的困苦，就低头下拜。
31and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD had attended to the Israelites and had seen their affliction, they bowed down and worshiped.
