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。
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;
我與他們堅定所立的約,要把他們寄居的迦南地賜給他們。
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.
我也聽見以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀聲,我也記念我的約。
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,
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。
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。
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。』」
