出埃及記 6
1 耶和華對摩西說：「現在你必看見我向法老所行的事，使他因我大能的手容以色列人去，且把他們趕出他的地。」
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 上帝曉諭摩西說：「我是耶和華。
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 我從前向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各顯現為全能的上帝；至於我名耶和華，他們未曾知道。
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 我與他們堅定所立的約，要把他們寄居的迦南地賜給他們。
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
5 我也聽見以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀聲，我也記念我的約。
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
6 所以你要對以色列人說：『我是耶和華；我要用伸出來的膀臂重重地刑罰埃及人，救贖你們脫離他們的重擔，不做他們的苦工。
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
7 我要以你們為我的百姓，我也要作你們的上帝。你們要知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝，是救你們脫離埃及人之重擔的。
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
8 我起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地，我要把你們領進去，將那地賜給你們為業。我是耶和華。』」
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
9 摩西將這話告訴以色列人，只是他們因苦工愁煩，不肯聽他的話。
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
10 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 「你進去對埃及王法老說，要容以色列人出他的地。」
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
12 摩西在耶和華面前說：「以色列人尚且不聽我的話，法老怎肯聽我這拙口笨舌的人呢？」
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
13 耶和華吩咐摩西、亞倫往以色列人和埃及王法老那裏去，把以色列人從埃及地領出來。
But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”

he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
30 摩西在耶和華面前說：「看哪，我是拙口笨舌的人，法老怎肯聽我呢？」
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]
