Exodus 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And Moses answered and said: 'But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say: The lord hath not appeared unto thee.'
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。』」
2And the LORD said unto him: 'What is that in thy hand?' And he said: 'A rod.'
2耶和华对 摩西 说：「你手里是什么？」他说：「是杖。」
3And He said: 'Cast it on the ground.' And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
3耶和华说：「丢在地上。」他一丢下去，就变作蛇； 摩西 便跑开。
4And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail — and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand —
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；
5that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.'
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。」
6And the LORD said furthermore unto him: 'Put now thy hand into thy bosom.' And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
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。
7And He said: 'Put thy hand back into thy bosom. — And he put his hand back into his bosom; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. —
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；
8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
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。
9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land; and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.'
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。」
10And Moses said unto the LORD: 'Oh Lord, I am not a man of words, neither heretofore, nor since Thou hast spoken unto Thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.'
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。」
11And the LORD said unto him: 'Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the LORD?
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？
12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak.'
12现在去吧，我必赐你口才，指教你所当说的话。」
13And he said: 'Oh Lord, send, I pray Thee, by the hand of him whom Thou wilt send.'
13摩西 说：「主啊，你愿意打发谁，就打发谁去吧！」
14And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and He said: 'Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
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。
15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
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。
16And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him in God's stead.
16他要替你对百姓说话；你要以他当作口，他要以你当作 神。
17And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.'
17你手里要拿这杖，好行神迹。」
18And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him: 'Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive.' And Jethro said to Moses: 'Go in peace.'
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！」
19And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian: 'Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead that sought thy life.'
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。」
20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
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。
21And the LORD said unto Moses: 'When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand; but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
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。
22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh: Thus saith the LORD: Israel is My son, My first-born.
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。
23And I have said unto thee: Let My son go, that he may serve Me; and thou hast refused to let him go. Behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born.' —
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。』」
24And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
24摩西 在路上住宿的地方，耶和华遇见他，想要杀他。
25Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said: 'Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me.'
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。」
26So He let him alone. Then she said: 'A bridegroom of blood in regard of the circumcision.'
26这样，耶和华才放了他。 西坡拉 说：「你因割礼就是血郎了。」
27And the LORD said to Aaron: 'Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.' And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
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。
28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD wherewith He had sent him, and all the signs wherewith He had charged 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 。
29And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
29摩西 、 亚伦 就去招聚 以色列 的众长老。
30And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
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，
31And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had remembered the children of Israel, and that He had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
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。
