出埃及记 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1后来 摩西 、 亚伦 去对法老说：「耶和华— 以色列 的 神这样说：『容我的百姓去，在旷野向我守节。』」
1After these things Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.
2法老说：「耶和华是谁，使我听他的话，容 以色列 人去呢？我不认识耶和华，也不容 以色列 人去！」
2But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
3他们说：「 希伯来 人的 神遇见了我们。求你容我们往旷野去，走三天的路程，祭祀耶和华—我们的 神，免得他用瘟疫、刀兵攻击我们。」
3And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three days’ journey into the wilderness and to sacrifice to the Lord our God: lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us.
4埃及 王对他们说：「 摩西 、 亚伦 ！你们为什么叫百姓旷工呢？你们去担你们的担子吧！」
4The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens.
5又说：「看哪，这地的 以色列 人如今众多，你们竟叫他们歇下担子！」
5And Pharao said: The people of the land is numerous: you see that the multitude is increased: how much more if you give them rest from their works?
6当天，法老吩咐督工的和官长说：
6Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:
7「你们不可照常把草给百姓做砖，叫他们自己去捡草。
7You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them go and gather straw.
8他们素常做砖的数目，你们仍旧向他们要，一点不可减少；因为他们是懒惰的，所以呼求说：『容我们去祭祀我们的 神。』
8And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9你们要把更重的工夫加在这些人身上，叫他们劳碌，不听虚谎的言语。」
9Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
10督工的和官长出来对百姓说：「法老这样说：『我不给你们草。
10And the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao, I allow you no straw:
11你们自己在哪里能找草，就往那里去找吧！但你们的工一点不可减少。』」
11Go, and gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.
12于是百姓散在 埃及 遍地，捡碎秸当作草。
12And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.
13督工的催着说：「你们一天当完一天的工，与先前有草一样。」
13And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfill your work every day as before you were wont to do when straw was given you.
14法老督工的，责打他所派 以色列 人的官长，说：「你们昨天今天为什么没有照向来的数目做砖、完你们的工作呢？」
14And they that were over the works of the children of Israel were scourged by Pharao’s taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks both yesterday and today as before?
15以色列 人的官长就来哀求法老说：「为什么这样待你的仆人？
15And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
16督工的不把草给仆人，并且对我们说：『做砖吧！』看哪，你仆人挨了打，其实是你百姓的错。」
16Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.
17但法老说：「你们是懒惰的！你们是懒惰的！所以说：『容我们去祭祀耶和华。』
17And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
18现在你们去做工吧！草是不给你们的，砖却要如数交纳。」
18Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.
19以色列 人的官长听说「你们每天做砖的工作一点不可减少」，就知道是遭遇祸患了。
19And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.
20他们离了法老出来，正遇见 摩西 、 亚伦 站在对面，
20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao:
21就向他们说：「愿耶和华鉴察你们，施行判断；因你们使我们在法老和他臣仆面前有了臭名，把刀递在他们手中杀我们。」
21And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword to kill us.
22摩西 回到耶和华那里，说：「主啊，你为什么苦待这百姓呢？为什么打发我去呢？
22And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me?
23自从我去见法老，奉你的名说话，他就苦待这百姓，你一点也没有拯救他们。」
23For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them.
