< Exodus 6 >

1 Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall divorce 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 God spoke to Moses [Drawn out], and said to him, “I am Adonai;
天主訓示梅瑟說:「我是雅威。
3 and I appeared to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], as El Shaddai [God Almighty]; but by my name Adonai I was not 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 I have also established my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them, to give them the land of Canaan [Humbled], the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.
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 Moreover I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the groaning of the children of Israel [God prevails], whom the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] keep in bondage, 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 tell the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘I am Adonai, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with 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 be my people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Adonai your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].
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 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter]; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Adonai.’”
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 Moses [Drawn out] spoke so to the children of Israel [God prevails], but they didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· unto Moses [Drawn out] for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
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 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], that he let the children of Israel [God prevails] 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 [Drawn out] spoke before Adonai, saying, “Behold, the children of Israel [God prevails] haven’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· unto me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who 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 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], and gave them an enjoinment to the children of Israel [God prevails], and to Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to bring the children of Israel [God prevails] out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
