Exodus 6
1 And the Lord said to Moses: Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao: for by a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord,
天主訓示梅瑟說：「我是雅威。
3 That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty; and my name ADONAI I did not shew them.
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 made a covenant with them, to give them the land of Chanaan, the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were 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 I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, wherewith the Egyptians have oppressed them: and I have remembered my covenant.
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 Therefore say to the children of Israel: I am the Lord who will bring you out from the work prison of the Egyptians, and will deliver you from bondage: and redeem you with a high arm, and great judgments.
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 myself for my people, I will be your God: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the work prison 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 brought you into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I will give it you to possess, 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 told all this to the children of Israel: but they did not hearken to him, for anguish of spirit, and most painful work.
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, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go 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 Moses answered before the Lord Behold the children of Israel do no hearken to me; and how will Pharao hear me, especially as I am of uncircumcised lips?
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 he gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharao the king of Egypt, that they should bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
