Exodus 7
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “See, I have given you [as] a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet;
耶和华对摩西说：“我使你在法老面前代替 神，你的哥哥亚伦是替你说话的。
2 you speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron speaks to Pharaoh, and he has sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
凡我所吩咐你的，你都要说。你的哥哥亚伦要对法老说，容以色列人出他的地。
3 And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
我要使法老的心刚硬，也要在埃及地多行神迹奇事。
4 and Pharaoh does not listen, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
但法老必不听你们；我要伸手重重地刑罚埃及，将我的军队以色列民从埃及地领出来。
5 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.”
我伸手攻击埃及，将以色列人从他们中间领出来的时候，埃及人就要知道我是耶和华。”
6 And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
摩西、亚伦这样行；耶和华怎样吩咐他们，他们就照样行了。
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
摩西、亚伦与法老说话的时候，摩西八十岁，亚伦八十三岁。
8 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a wonder for yourselves; then you have said to Aaron, Take your rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh—it becomes a dragon.”
“法老若对你们说：‘你们行件奇事吧！’你就吩咐亚伦说：‘把杖丢在法老面前，使杖变作蛇。’”
10 And Moses goes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they do so as YHWH has commanded; and Aaron casts his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it becomes a dragon.
摩西、亚伦进去见法老，就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦把杖丢在法老和臣仆面前，杖就变作蛇。
11 And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
于是法老召了博士和术士来；他们是埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。
12 and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
他们各人丢下自己的杖，杖就变作蛇；但亚伦的杖吞了他们的杖。
13 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
法老心里刚硬，不肯听从摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
耶和华对摩西说：“法老心里固执，不肯容百姓去。
15 go to Pharaoh in the morning, behold, he is going out to the water, and you have stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent you take in your hand,
明日早晨，他出来往水边去，你要往河边迎接他，手里要拿着那变过蛇的杖，
16 and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not listened until now.
对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神打发我来见你，说：容我的百姓去，好在旷野事奉我。到如今你还是不听。
17 Thus said YHWH: By this you know that I [am] YHWH; behold, I am striking with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,
耶和华这样说：我要用我手里的杖击打河中的水，水就变作血；因此，你必知道我是耶和华。
18 and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River has stunk, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.”
河里的鱼必死，河也要腥臭，埃及人就要厌恶吃这河里的水。’”
19 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood—and there has been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.”
耶和华晓谕摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘把你的杖伸在埃及所有的水以上，就是在他们的江、河、池、塘以上，叫水都变作血。在埃及遍地，无论在木器中，石器中，都必有血。’”
20 And Moses and Aaron do so, as YHWH has commanded, and he lifts up [his hand] with the rod, and strikes the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,
摩西、亚伦就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦在法老和臣仆眼前举杖击打河里的水，河里的水都变作血了。
21 and the fish which [is] in the River has died, and the River stinks, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
河里的鱼死了，河也腥臭了，埃及人就不能吃这河里的水；埃及遍地都有了血。
22 And the enchanters of Egypt do so with their secrets, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken,
埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。法老心里刚硬，不肯听摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。
23 and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has not set his heart even to this;
法老转身进宫，也不把这事放在心上。
24 and all the Egyptians seek water all around the River to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
埃及人都在河的两边挖地，要得水喝，因为他们不能喝这河里的水。
25 And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
耶和华击打河以后满了七天。
