Exodus 7
1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy 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 thou — thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel 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 'And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
我要使法老的心剛硬，也要在埃及地多行神蹟奇事。
4 and Pharaoh doth not hearken, 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 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'
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 And Moses doth — Aaron also — as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
摩西、亞倫這樣行；耶和華怎樣吩咐他們，他們就照樣行了。
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto 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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
9 'When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh — it becometh a monster.'
「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 And Moses goeth in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.
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 And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,
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 and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth 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 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
法老心裏剛硬，不肯聽從摩西、亞倫，正如耶和華所說的。
14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;
耶和華對摩西說：「法老心裏固執，不肯容百姓去。
15 go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy 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 and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
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 'Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting 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 and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters 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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy 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 hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.'
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 And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth 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、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 and the fish which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
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 And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath 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 and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;
法老轉身進宮，也不把這事放在心上。
24 and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
埃及人都在河的兩邊挖地，要得水喝，因為他們不能喝這河裏的水。
25 And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,
耶和華擊打河以後滿了七天。
