Exodus 7
1 Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron [Light-bringer] your brother shall be your prophet.
耶和華對摩西說：「我使你在法老面前代替上帝，你的哥哥亞倫是替你說話的。
2 You shall speak all that I enjoin you; and Aaron [Light-bringer] your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel [God prevails] go out of his land.
凡我所吩咐你的，你都要說。你的哥哥亞倫要對法老說，容以色列人出他的地。
3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
我要使法老的心剛硬，也要在埃及地多行神蹟奇事。
4 But Pharaoh will not sh'ma ·hear obey· you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt [Abode of slavery], and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel [God prevails], out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] by great judgments.
但法老必不聽你們；我要伸手重重地刑罰埃及，將我的軍隊以色列民從埃及地領出來。
5 The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall know that I am Adonai, when I stretch out my hand on Egypt [Abode of slavery], and bring out the children of Israel [God prevails] from among them.”
我伸手攻擊埃及，將以色列人從他們中間領出來的時候，埃及人就要知道我是耶和華。」
6 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] did so. As Adonai enjoined them, so they did.
摩西、亞倫這樣行；耶和華怎樣吩咐他們，他們就照樣行了。
7 Moses [Drawn out] was eighty years old, and Aaron [Light-bringer] eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
摩西、亞倫與法老說話的時候，摩西八十歲，亞倫八十三歲。
8 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron [Light-bringer], ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.’”
「法老若對你們說：『你們行件奇事吧！』你就吩咐亞倫說：『把杖丟在法老面前，使杖變作蛇。』」
10 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Adonai had enjoined: and Aaron [Light-bringer] cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
摩西、亞倫進去見法老，就照耶和華所吩咐的行。亞倫把杖丟在法老和臣僕面前，杖就變作蛇。
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt [Abode of slavery], did the same thing with their enchantments.
於是法老召了博士和術士來；他們是埃及行法術的，也用邪術照樣而行。
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents: but Aaron [Light-bringer]’s rod swallowed up their rods.
他們各人丟下自己的杖，杖就變作蛇；但亞倫的杖吞了他們的杖。
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· them; as Adonai had spoken.
法老心裏剛硬，不肯聽從摩西、亞倫，正如耶和華所說的。
14 Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
耶和華對摩西說：「法老心裏固執，不肯容百姓去。
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
明日早晨，他出來往水邊去，你要往河邊迎接他，手裏要拿着那變過蛇的杖，
16 You shall tell him, ‘Adonai, the God of the Hebrews [Immigrants], has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may abad ·serve· me in the wilderness:” and behold, until now you haven’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.
對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝打發我來見你，說：容我的百姓去，好在曠野事奉我。到如今你還是不聽。
17 Adonai says, “In this you shall know that I am Adonai. Behold, I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
耶和華這樣說：我要用我手裏的杖擊打河中的水，水就變作血；因此，你必知道我是耶和華。
18 The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] shall loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
河裏的魚必死，河也要腥臭，埃及人就要厭惡吃這河裏的水。』」
19 Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Tell Aaron [Light-bringer], ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt [Abode of slavery], over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both in wood buckets and in stone jars.’”
耶和華曉諭摩西說：「你對亞倫說：『把你的杖伸在埃及所有的水以上，就是在他們的江、河、池、塘以上，叫水都變作血。在埃及遍地，無論在木器中，石器中，都必有血。』」
20 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] did so, as Adonai enjoined; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
摩西、亞倫就照耶和華所吩咐的行。亞倫在法老和臣僕眼前舉杖擊打河裏的水，河裏的水都變作血了。
21 The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] couldn’t drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
河裏的魚死了，河也腥臭了，埃及人就不能吃這河裏的水；埃及遍地都有了血。
22 The magicians of Egypt [Abode of slavery] did the same thing with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· them; as Adonai had spoken.
埃及行法術的，也用邪術照樣而行。法老心裏剛硬，不肯聽摩西、亞倫，正如耶和華所說的。
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
法老轉身進宮，也不把這事放在心上。
24 All the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
埃及人都在河的兩邊挖地，要得水喝，因為他們不能喝這河裏的水。
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after Adonai had struck the river.
耶和華擊打河以後滿了七天。
