Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
1摩西 回答說：「他們必不信我，也不聽我的話，必說：『耶和華並沒有向你顯現。』」
2The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
2耶和華對 摩西 說：「你手裏是甚麼？」他說：「是杖。」
3He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
3耶和華說：「丟在地上。」他一丟下去，就變作蛇； 摩西 便跑開。
4The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
4耶和華對 摩西 說：「伸出手來，拿住牠的尾巴，牠必在你手中仍變為杖；
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.”
5如此好叫他們信耶和華－他們祖宗的上帝，就是 亞伯拉罕 的上帝， 以撒 的上帝， 雅各 的上帝，是向你顯現了。」
6The LORD said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
6耶和華又對他說：「把手放在懷裏。」他就把手放在懷裏，及至抽出來，不料，手長了大痲瘋，有雪 那樣 白。
7He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
7耶和華說：「再把手放在懷裏。」他就再把手放在懷裏，及至從懷裏抽出來，不料，手已經復原，與周身的肉一樣；
8“It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
8又說：「倘或他們不聽你的話，也不信頭一個神蹟，他們必信第二個神蹟。
9It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”
9這兩個神蹟若都不信，也不聽你的話，你就從河裏取些水，倒在旱地上，你從河裏取的水必在旱地上變作血。」
10Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
10摩西 對耶和華說：「主啊，我素日不是能言的人，就是從你對僕人說話以後，也是這樣。我本是拙口笨舌的。」
11The LORD said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, the LORD?
11耶和華對他說：「誰造人的口呢？誰使人口啞、耳聾、目明、眼瞎呢？豈不是我－耶和華嗎？
12Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
12現在去吧，我必賜你口才，指教你所當說的話。」
13Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
13摩西 說：「主啊，你願意打發誰，就打發誰去吧！」
14The LORD’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
14耶和華向 摩西 發怒說：「不是有你的哥哥 利未 人 亞倫 嗎？我知道他是能言的；現在他出來迎接你，他一見你，心裏就歡喜。
15You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
15你要將當說的話傳給他；我也要賜你和他口才，又要指教你們所當行的事。
16He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
16他要替你對百姓說話；你要以他當作口，他要以你當作上帝。
17You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
17你手裏要拿這杖，好行神蹟。」
18Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
18於是， 摩西 回到他岳父 葉忒羅 那裏，對他說：「求你容我回去見我在 埃及 的弟兄，看他們還在不在。」 葉忒羅 對 摩西 說：「你可以平平安安地去吧！」
19The LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

20Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.
20摩西 就帶着妻子和兩個兒子，叫他們騎上驢，回 埃及 地去。 摩西 手裏拿着上帝的杖。
21The LORD said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
21耶和華對 摩西 說：「你回到 埃及 的時候，要留意將我指示你的一切奇事行在法老面前。但我要使他的心剛硬，他必不容百姓去。
22You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘The LORD says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
22你要對法老說：『耶和華這樣說： 以色列 是我的兒子，我的長子。
23and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
23我對你說過：容我的兒子去，好事奉我。你還是不肯容他去。看哪，我要殺你的長子。』」
24On the way at a lodging place, the LORD met Moses and wanted to kill him.
24摩西 在路上住宿的地方，耶和華遇見他，想要殺他。
25Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
25西坡拉 就拿一塊火石，割下他兒子的陽皮，丟在 摩西 腳前，說：「你真是我的血郎了。」
26So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
26這樣，耶和華才放了他。 西坡拉 說：「你因割禮就是血郎了。」
27The LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.
27耶和華對 亞倫 說：「你往曠野去迎接 摩西 。」他就去，在上帝的山遇見 摩西 ，和他親嘴。
28Moses told Aaron all the LORD’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
28摩西 將耶和華打發他所說的言語和囑咐他所行的神蹟都告訴了 亞倫 。
29Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
29摩西 、 亞倫 就去招聚 以色列 的眾長老。
30Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
30亞倫 將耶和華對 摩西 所說的一切話述說了一遍，又在百姓眼前行了那些神蹟，
31The people believed, and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
31百姓就信了。 以色列 人聽見耶和華眷顧他們，鑒察他們的困苦，就低頭下拜。
