Exodus 6
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Now you see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he sends them away, indeed, with a strong hand he casts 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 speaks to Moses and says to him, “I [am] YHWH,
天主訓示梅瑟說：「我是雅威。
3 and I appear to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; as for My Name YHWH, I have not been known to 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 have also established My covenant with them, to give the land of Canaan to them, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;
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 have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember 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 sons of Israel: I [am] YHWH, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by an outstretched arm, and by 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 have taken you to Myself for a people, and I have been to you for God, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, who is bringing you out from under the burdens 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 have brought you to the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you—a possession; I [am] YHWH.”
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 speaks so to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.
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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he sends the sons 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 speaks before YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me, and how does Pharaoh hear me, and I 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 YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, and charges them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.
