出埃及記 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1有一個 利未 家的人娶了一個 利未 女子為妻。
1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2那女人懷孕，生一個兒子，見他俊美，就藏了他三個月，
2And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3後來不能再藏，就取了一個蒲草箱，抹上石漆和石油，將孩子放在裏頭，把箱子擱在河邊的蘆荻中。
3And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4孩子的姊姊遠遠站着，要知道他究竟怎麼樣。
4And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5法老的女兒來到河邊洗澡，她的使女們在河邊行走。她看見箱子在蘆荻中，就打發一個婢女拿來。
5And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6她打開箱子，看見那孩子。孩子哭了，她就可憐他，說：「這是 希伯來 人的一個孩子。」
6And she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
7孩子的姊姊對法老的女兒說：「我去在 希伯來 婦人中叫一個奶媽來，為你奶這孩子，可以不可以？」
7Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?'
8法老的女兒說：「可以。」童女就去叫了孩子的母親來。
8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
9法老的女兒對她說：「你把這孩子抱去，為我奶他，我必給你工價。」婦人就抱了孩子去奶他。
9And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her: 'Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.' And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10孩子漸長，婦人把他帶到法老的女兒那裏，就作了她的兒子。她給孩子起名叫 摩西 ，意思說：「因我把他從水裏拉出來。」
10And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said: 'Because I drew him out of the water.'
11後來， 摩西 長大，他出去到他弟兄那裏，看他們的重擔，見一個 埃及 人打 希伯來 人的一個弟兄。
11And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12他左右觀看，見沒有人，就把 埃及 人打死了，藏在沙土裏。
12And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13第二天他出去，見有兩個 希伯來 人爭鬥，就對那欺負人的說：「你為甚麼打你同族的人呢？」
13And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
14那人說：「誰立你作我們的首領和審判官呢？難道你要殺我，像殺那 埃及 人嗎？」 摩西 便懼怕，說：「這事必是被人知道了。」
14And he said: 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is known.'
15法老聽見這事，就想殺 摩西 ，但 摩西 躲避法老，逃往 米甸 地居住。
15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
16一日，他在井旁坐下。 米甸 的祭司有七個女兒；她們來打水，打滿了槽，要飲父親的群羊。
16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17有牧羊的人來，把她們趕走了， 摩西 卻起來幫助她們，又飲了她們的群羊。
17And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18她們來到父親 流珥 那裏；他說：「今日你們為何來得這麼快呢？」
18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?'
19她們說：「有一個 埃及 人救我們脫離牧羊人的手，並且為我們打水飲了群羊。」
19And they said: 'An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.'
20他對女兒們說：「那個人在哪裏？你們為甚麼撇下他呢？你們去請他來吃飯。」
20And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.'
21摩西 甘心和那人同住；那人把他的女兒 西坡拉 給 摩西 為妻。
21And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22西坡拉 生了一個兒子， 摩西 給他起名叫 革舜 ，意思說：「因我在外邦作了寄居的。」
22And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.'
23過了多年， 埃及 王死了。 以色列 人因做苦工，就歎息哀求，他們的哀聲達於上帝。
23And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24上帝聽見他們的哀聲，就記念他與 亞伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 雅各 所立的約。
24And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25上帝看顧 以色列 人，也知道他們的 苦情 。
25And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
