Exodus 6
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.
上主回答梅瑟說：「現在你就要看見我對法朗所要作的；在強硬的手臂下，他必放走他們；在強硬的手腕下，他必將他們逐出自己的國境。」
2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.
天主訓示梅瑟說：「我是雅威。
3 And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.
我曾顯現給亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯為「全能的天主，」但沒有以「雅威」的名字將我啟示給他們。
4 And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they lived as strangers.
我也與他們立了約，許下將他們寄居而作客的客納罕地賜給他們。
5 And I listened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.
如今我聽見了以色列子民因埃及人的奴役而發的唉號，想起了我的約。
6 Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgement.
為此你應該對以色列子民說：我是上主，我要使你們擺脫埃及人的虐待，拯救你們脫離他們的奴役，用伸開的手臂，藉嚴厲的懲罰救贖你們。
7 And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.
我要以你們作我的百姓，我作你們的天主。你們將承認我是天主，你們的天主，使你們擺脫埃及人的虐待。
8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.
我領你們要去的地方，就是我舉手誓許給亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯的地方；我要把那地方賜給你們作產業。─我是上主。」
9 And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they listened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.
梅瑟將這些話告訴了以色列子民，但他們由於苦工喪氣，不肯聽梅瑟的話。
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
11 Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.
你去告訴埃及王法朗說：」叫他將以色列子民由他國中放走。」
12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel listened not to me, and how shall Pharao listen to me? and I am not eloquent.
梅瑟當面回答上主說：「以色列子民既不肯聽我，法朗又怎肯聽我﹖況且我又是笨口結舌的人。」
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
