出埃及记 7
1 耶和华对摩西说：“我使你在法老面前代替 神，你的哥哥亚伦是替你说话的。
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I have appointed thee the God of Pharao: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 凡我所吩咐你的，你都要说。你的哥哥亚伦要对法老说，容以色列人出他的地。
Thou shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 我要使法老的心刚硬，也要在埃及地多行神迹奇事。
But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 但法老必不听你们；我要伸手重重地刑罚埃及，将我的军队以色列民从埃及地领出来。
And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.
5 我伸手攻击埃及，将以色列人从他们中间领出来的时候，埃及人就要知道我是耶和华。”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 摩西、亚伦这样行；耶和华怎样吩咐他们，他们就照样行了。
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: so did they.
7 摩西、亚伦与法老说话的时候，摩西八十岁，亚伦八十三岁。
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.
8 耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
9 “法老若对你们说：‘你们行件奇事吧！’你就吩咐亚伦说：‘把杖丢在法老面前，使杖变作蛇。’”
When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into a serpent.
10 摩西、亚伦进去见法老，就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦把杖丢在法老和臣仆面前，杖就变作蛇。
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao, and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 于是法老召了博士和术士来；他们是埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。
And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner.
12 他们各人丢下自己的杖，杖就变作蛇；但亚伦的杖吞了他们的杖。
And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 法老心里刚硬，不肯听从摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。
And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had commanded.
14 耶和华对摩西说：“法老心里固执，不肯容百姓去。
And the Lord said to Moses: Pharao’s heart is hardened, he will not let the people go.
15 明日早晨，他出来往水边去，你要往河边迎接他，手里要拿着那变过蛇的杖，
Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
16 对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神打发我来见你，说：容我的百姓去，好在旷野事奉我。到如今你还是不听。
And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.
17 耶和华这样说：我要用我手里的杖击打河中的水，水就变作血；因此，你必知道我是耶和华。
Thus therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rods that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
18 河里的鱼必死，河也要腥臭，埃及人就要厌恶吃这河里的水。’”
And the fishes that are in the river shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.
19 耶和华晓谕摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘把你的杖伸在埃及所有的水以上，就是在他们的江、河、池、塘以上，叫水都变作血。在埃及遍地，无论在木器中，石器中，都必有血。’”
The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
20 摩西、亚伦就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦在法老和臣仆眼前举杖击打河里的水，河里的水都变作血了。
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up the rod he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his servants: and it was turned into blood.
21 河里的鱼死了，河也腥臭了，埃及人就不能吃这河里的水；埃及遍地都有了血。
And the fishes that were in the river died: and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in all the land of Egypt.
22 埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。法老心里刚硬，不肯听摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。
And the magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner: and Pharao’s heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
23 法老转身进宫，也不把这事放在心上。
And he turned himself away and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.
24 埃及人都在河的两边挖地，要得水喝，因为他们不能喝这河里的水。
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink: for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 耶和华击打河以后满了七天。
And seven days were fully ended, after that the Lord struck the river.
