Exodus
Chapter1
11ThesearethenamesofthesonsofIsraelwho,accompaniedbytheirhouseholds,migratedwithJacobintoEgypt:
以色列的儿子们，各带了家眷，同雅各伯来到埃及；他们的名字记载如下：
22Reuben,Simeon,LeviandJudah;
勒乌本、西默盎、肋未和犹大，
3Issachar,ZebulunandBenjamin;
依撒加尔，则步隆和本雅明丹，
4DanandNaphtali;GadandAsher.
和纳裴塔里，加得和阿协尔。
53ThetotalnumberofthedirectdescendantsofJacobwasseventy.JosephwasalreadyinEgypt.
他们全是雅各伯所生的，一共七十人；若瑟那时已经在埃及。
6NowJosephandallhisbrothersandthatwholegenerationdied.
若瑟和他的众兄弟，以及这一代的人死了以后，
7ButtheIsraeliteswerefruitfulandprolific.Theybecamesonumerousandstrongthatthelandwasfilledwiththem.
以色列的子孙生育繁殖，数目增多，极其强盛，布满了那地。
8Thenanewking,whoknewnothingofJoseph4,cametopowerinEgypt.
有位不认识若瑟的新王兴起，统治了埃及。
9Hesaidtohissubjects,＂LookhownumerousandpowerfultheIsraelitepeoplearegrowing,moresothanweourselves!
他对自己的人民说：＂看以色列子民，比我们又多又强。
10Come,letusdealshrewdlywiththemtostoptheirincrease;otherwise,intimeofwartheytoomayjoinourenemiestofightagainstus,andsoleaveourcountry.＂
来，我们要用智谋对付他们，免得他们繁盛起来，一遇战争，就去与我们的敌人联合，攻击我们，然后离开此地。＂
115Accordingly,taskmastersweresetovertheIsraelitestooppressthemwithforcedlabor.ThustheyhadtobuildforPharaohthesupplycitiesofPithomandRaamses.
于是派定督工管制他们，以苦役压迫他们，叫他们给法朗建筑丕通和辣默色斯两做贮货城。
12Yetthemoretheywereoppressed,themoretheymultipliedandspread.TheEgyptians,then,dreadedtheIsraelites
但是越压迫他们，他们越增多，也越繁殖，以至埃及人都怕以色列子民。
13andreducedthemtocruelslavery,
于是埃及人更严厉地强迫以色列子民做苦工，
146makinglifebitterforthemwithhardworkinmortarandbrickandallkindsoffieldwork——thewholecruelfateofslaves.
强迫他们作和泥做砖的苦工，田间的一切劳工，以及种种苦工，使他们的生活十分痛苦。
15ThekingofEgypttoldtheHebrewmidwives,oneofwhomwascalledShiphrahandtheotherPuah,
埃及王又吩咐为希伯来女人接生的收生婆，一个名叫史斐辣，一个名叫普亚的说
167WhenyouactasmidwivesfortheHebrewwomenandseethemgivingbirth,ifitisaboy,killhim;butifitisagirl,shemaylive.＂
＂你们为希伯来女人接生时，要看着她们临盆！若是男孩，就杀死；若是女孩，就让她活着。＂
17Themidwives,however,fearedGod;theydidnotdoasthekingofEgypthadorderedthem,butlettheboyslive.
但是收生婆敬畏天主，没有照埃及王的吩咐去作，保留了男孩的性命。
18Sothekingsummonedthemidwivesandaskedthem,＂Whyhaveyouactedthus,allowingtheboystolive?＂
埃及王将收生婆召来，问她们说：＂你们为什么这样做，竟叫男孩活着呢？＂
19ThemidwivesansweredPharaoh,＂TheHebrewwomenarenotliketheEgyptianwomen.Theyarerobustandgivebirthbeforethemidwifearrives.＂
收生婆回答法朗说：＂希伯来女人与埃及女人不同，她们富有生机，收生婆还没有来，她们已生产了。＂
20ThereforeGoddealtwellwiththemidwives.Thepeople,too,increasedandgrewstrong.
天主遂恩待了收生婆。以色列的子民更加增多起来，更加强盛。
21AndbecausethemidwivesfearedGod,hebuiltupfamiliesforthem.
因为收生婆敬畏天主，天主就使她们家门兴旺。
228Pharaohthencommandedallhissubjects,＂ThrowintotherivereveryboythatisborntotheHebrews,butyoumayletallthegirlslive.＂
法朗于是训令他的全体人民说：＂凡希伯来人所生的男孩，你们应把他丢在尼罗河里；凡是女孩，留她活着！＂

这女人怀孕生了一个儿子，见他俊美，就把他藏了三个月。
31Whenshecouldhidehimnolonger,shetookapapyrusbasket,daubeditwithbitumenandpitch,andputtingthechildinit,placeditamongthereedsontheriverbank.
以后不能再藏了，就拿了一个蒲草筐子，涂上沥青和石漆，把孩子放在里面，将筐放在尼罗河边的芦苇丛中。
4Hissisterstationedherselfatadistancetofindoutwhatwouldhappentohim.
孩子的姐姐远远的站着，想知道孩子究竟怎样。
5Pharaoh'sdaughtercamedowntotherivertobathe,whilehermaidswalkedalongtheriverbank.Noticingthebasketamongthereeds,shesentherhandmaidtofetchit.
当时法朗的一个公主下到尼罗河边洗澡，使女们在河边上徘徊。公主发现芦苇丛中那个筐子，就吩咐自己的使女将筐子取来。
6Onopeningit,shelooked,andlo,therewasababyboy,crying!Shewasmovedwithpityforhimandsaid,＂ItisoneoftheHebrews'children.＂
她打开一看，见有一个孩子正在哭涕，就动了可怜他的心说：＂这必是一个希伯来人的孩子。＂
7ThenhissisteraskedPharaoh'sdaughter,＂ShallIgoandcalloneoftheHebrewwomentonursethechildforyou?＂
孩子的姐姐就对法朗的公主说：＂你愿意我去从希伯来妇女中给你请一个奶妈，为你乳养这个孩子吗？＂
8＂Yes,doso,＂sheanswered.Sothemaidenwentandcalledthechild'sownmother.
法朗的公主回答说：＂你去罢！＂少女便去叫了孩子的母亲来。
9Pharaoh'sdaughtersaidtoher,＂Takethischildandnurseitforme,andIwillrepayyou.＂Thewomanthereforetookthechildandnursedit.
法朗的公主对她说：＂你将这孩子抱去，为我乳养他，我必给你工钱。＂那妇人就接过去，乳养这个孩子。
102Whenthechildgrew,shebroughthimtoPharaoh'sdaughter,whoadoptedhimashersonandcalledhimMoses;forshesaid,＂Idrewhimoutofthewater.＂
孩子长大了，那妇人就把他带到公主那里；公主遂收他作自己的儿子，给他起名叫梅瑟，说：＂因为我从水里拉出了他。＂
113Ononeoccasion,afterMoseshadgrownup,whenhevisitedhiskinsmenandwitnessedtheirforcedlabor,hesawanEgyptianstrikingaHebrew,oneofhisownkinsmen.
过了许久，梅瑟已经长大，有一次出去探望自己的同胞，看见他们作苦工，又见一个埃及人打他的一个同胞希伯来人；
12Lookingaboutandseeingnoone,heslewtheEgyptianandhidhiminthesand.
他向四面一望，见没有人，便将那埃及人打死，将他埋在沙土中。
13Thenextdayhewentoutagain,andnowtwoHebrewswerefighting!Soheaskedtheculprit,＂WhyareyoustrikingyourfellowHebrew?＂
第二天他又出去，见两个希伯来人打架，就对那无理的一方说：＂你为什么打你同族的人？＂
14Buthereplied,＂Whohasappointedyourulerandjudgeoverus?AreyouthinkingofkillingmeasyoukilledtheEgyptian?＂ThenMosesbecameafraidandthought,＂Theaffairmustcertainlybeknown.＂
那人回答说：＂谁立了你作我们的首领和判官？难到你想杀我，像杀那埃及人一样吗？＂梅瑟就害怕了，心里想：＂那事一定叫人知道了！＂
15Pharaoh,too,heardoftheaffairandsoughttoputhimtodeath.ButMosesfledfromhimandstayedinthelandofMidian.Ashewasseatedtherebyawell,
法朗听说这事，就想杀死梅瑟；而梅瑟却离开法朗逃走，去了米德杨地，坐在井边。
16sevendaughtersofapriestofMidiancametodrawwaterandfillthetroughstowatertheirfather'sflock.
米德杨的司祭有七个女儿，她们来打水，灌满水槽，要饮父亲的羊群。
17Butsomeshepherdscameanddrovethemaway.ThenMosesgotupanddefendedthemandwateredtheirflock.
别的牧童来了，赶走了她们；梅瑟便起来保护了她们，也饮了她们的羊。
184WhentheyreturnedtotheirfatherReuel,hesaidtothem,＂Howisityouhavereturnedsosoontoday?＂
她们回到父亲勒乌尔那里，父亲问她们说：＂你们今天为什么回来的这么快？＂
195Theyanswered,＂AnEgyptiansavedusfromtheinterferenceoftheshepherds.Heevendrewwaterforusandwateredtheflock!＂
她们回答说：＂有一个埃及人救我们摆脱了牧童的手，还给我们打水饮了羊群。＂
20＂Whereistheman?＂heaskedhisdaughters.＂Whydidyouleavehimthere?Invitehimtohavesomethingtoeat.＂
他对女儿们说：＂他在那里？你们为什么撇下他？去请他来吃饭！＂

于是梅瑟决定住在那人那里，那人将自己的女儿漆颇辣给了梅瑟为妻。
226Sheborehimason,whomhenamedGershom;forhesaid,＂Iamastrangerinaforeignland.＂
她生了一个儿子，梅瑟给他起名叫革尔熊，因为他说：＂我在外方作了旅客。＂

天主听见了他们的哀号，就记起了他与亚巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯所立的盟约。
25HesawtheIsraelitesandknew
天主遂眷顾了以色列子民，特别垂念他们。

Chapter3
11MeanwhileMoseswastendingtheflockofhisfather-in-lawJethro,thepriestofMidian.Leadingtheflockacrossthedesert,hecametoHoreb,themountainofGod.
那时梅瑟为他的岳父，米德杨的司祭耶特洛放羊；一次他赶羊往旷野里去，到了天主的山曷勒布。
22ThereanangeloftheLORDappearedtohiminfireflamingoutofabush.Ashelookedon,hewassurprisedtoseethatthebush,thoughonfire,wasnotconsumed.
上主的使者从荆棘丛的火焰中显现给他；他远远看见那荆棘为火焚烧，而荆棘却没有烧毁。
3SoMosesdecided,＂Imustgoovertolookatthisremarkablesight,andseewhythebushisnotburned.＂
梅瑟心里说：＂我要到那边看看这个奇异的现象，为什么荆棘烧不毁？＂
4WhentheLORDsawhimcomingovertolookatitmoreclosely,Godcalledouttohimfromthebush,＂Moses!Moses!＂Heanswered,＂HereIam.＂
上主见他走来观看，天主便由荆棘丛中叫他说：＂梅瑟！梅瑟！＂他答说：＂我在这里。＂
5Godsaid,＂Comenonearer!Removethesandalsfromyourfeet,fortheplacewhereyoustandisholyground.
天主说：＂不可到这边来！将你脚上的鞋脱下，因为你所站的地方是圣地。＂
63IamtheGodofyourfather,＂hecontinued,＂theGodofAbraham,theGodofIsaac,theGodofJacob.＂Moseshidhisface,forhewasafraidtolookatGod.
又说：＂我是你父亲的天主，亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主，雅各伯的天主。＂梅瑟因为怕看见天主，就把脸遮起来。
7ButtheLORDsaid,＂IhavewitnessedtheafflictionofmypeopleinEgyptandhaveheardtheircryofcomplaintagainsttheirslavedrivers,soIknowwellwhattheyaresuffering.
上主说：＂我看见我的百姓在埃及所受的痛苦，听见他们因工头的压迫而发出的哀号；我已注意到他们的痛苦。
84ThereforeIhavecomedowntorescuethemfromthehandsoftheEgyptiansandleadthemoutofthatlandintoagoodandspaciousland,alandflowingwithmilkandhoney,thecountryoftheCanaanites,Hittites,Amorites,Perizzites,HivitesandJebusites.
所以我要下去拯救百姓脱离埃及人的手，领他们离开那地方，到一个美丽宽阔的地方，流奶流蜜的地方，就是客纳罕人、赫特人、阿摩黎人、培黎齐人、希威人和耶步斯人的地方。
9SoindeedthecryoftheIsraeliteshasreachedme,andIhavetrulynotedthattheEgyptiansareoppressingthem.
现在以色列子民的哀号已达于我前，我也亲自看见埃及人加于他们的压迫。
10Come,now!IwillsendyoutoPharaohtoleadmypeople,theIsraelites,outofEgypt.＂
所以你来，我要派你到法朗那里，率领我的百姓以色列出离埃及。＂
115ButMosessaidtoGod,＂WhoamIthatIshouldgotoPharaohandleadtheIsraelitesoutofEgypt?＂
梅瑟对天主说：＂我是谁，竟敢去见法朗，率领以色列子民出离埃及？＂
12Heanswered,＂Iwillbewithyou;andthisshallbeyourproofthatitisIwhohavesentyou:whenyoubringmypeopleoutofEgypt,youwillworshipGodonthisverymountain.＂
上主回答说：＂我必与你同在；几时你将我的百姓由埃及领出来，你们要在这座山上崇拜天主，你要以此作为我派你的凭据。＂
13＂But,＂saidMosestoGod,＂whenIgototheIsraelitesandsaytothem,'TheGodofyourfathershassentmetoyou,'iftheyaskme,'Whatishisname?'whatamItotellthem?＂
梅瑟对天主说：＂当我到以色列子民那里，向他们说：你们祖先的天主打发我到你们这里来时，他们必要问我：他叫什么名字？我要回答他们什么呢？＂
146Godreplied,＂Iamwhoam.＂Thenheadded,＂ThisiswhatyoushalltelltheIsraelites:IAMsentmetoyou.＂
天主向梅瑟说：＂我是自有者。＂又说：＂你要这样对以色列子民说：那＂自有者＂打发我到你们这里来。＂
15GodspokefurthertoMoses,＂ThusshallyousaytotheIsraelites:TheLORD,theGodofyourfathers,theGodofAbraham,theGodofIsaac,theGodofJacob,hassentmetoyou.＂Thisismynameforever;thisismytitleforallgenerations.
天主又对梅瑟说：＂你要这样对以色列子民说：上主，你们祖先的天主，亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主和雅各伯的天主，打发我到你们这里来，这是我的名字，直到永远；这是我的称号，直到万世。
167＂GoandassembletheeldersoftheIsraelites,andtellthem:TheLORD,theGodofyourfathers,theGodofAbraham,IsaacandJacob,hasappearedtomeandsaid:IamconcernedaboutyouandaboutthewayyouarebeingtreatedinEgypt;
你去召集以色列的长老，对他们说：上主，你们祖先的天主，亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主和雅各伯的天主显现给我说：我实在注意到你们和你们在埃及所遭遇到的一切。
17soIhavedecidedtoleadyouupoutofthemiseryofEgyptintothelandoftheCanaanites,Hittites,Amorites,Perizzites,HivitesandJebusites,alandflowingwithmilkandhoney.
因此我决意领你们摆脱埃及人的压迫，到客纳罕人，赫特人，阿摩黎人，培黎齐人，希威人和耶步斯人的地方，即流奶流蜜的地方去。
18＂Thustheywillheedyourmessage.ThenyouandtheeldersofIsraelshallgotothekingofEgyptandsaytohim:TheLORD,theGodoftheHebrews,hassentusword.Permitus,then,togoathreedays'journeyinthedesert,thatwemayoffersacrificetotheLORD,ourGod.
他们必会听你的话。你要同以色列的长老去见埃及王，对他说：上主，希伯来人的天主遇见了我们；现今请让我们走三天的路程，到旷野里向上主我们的天主举行祭献。
19＂YetIknowthatthekingofEgyptwillnotallowyoutogounlessheisforced.
但是我知道，若不用强硬的手段，埃及王决不会让你们走。
20Iwillstretchoutmyhand,therefore,andsmiteEgyptbydoingallkindsofwondrousdeedsthere.Afterthathewillsendyouaway.
因此，我要在埃及伸手显各种奇迹，打击那地；以后他才放你们走。
21IwillevenmaketheEgyptianssowell-disposedtowardthispeoplethat,whenyouleave,youwillnotgoempty-handed.
我必要使这百姓在埃及人眼中蒙恩，因此，你们离去时不致空手而去。
228Everywomanshallaskherneighborandherhouseguestforsilverandgoldarticlesandforclothingtoputonyoursonsanddaughters.ThusyouwilldespoiltheEgyptians.＂
各个妇人应向邻舍的妇女，向住在自己家中的女人索取金鉓、银饰和衣服，穿戴在你们子女身上：这样你们就剥夺了埃及人。＂

1＂But,＂objectedMoses,＂supposetheywillnotbelieveme,norlistentomyplea?Fortheymaysay,'TheLORDdidnotappeartoyou.'＂
梅瑟回答说：＂他们必然不肯相信我，也不肯听我的话，而对我说：上主没有显示给你。＂
2TheLORDthereforeaskedhim,＂Whatisthatinyourhand?＂＂Astaff,＂heanswered.
上主问他说：＂你手里拿的是什么？＂他回答说：＂一根棍杖。＂
3TheLORDthensaid,＂Throwitontheground.＂Whenhethrewitonthegrounditwaschangedintoaserpent,andMosesshiedawayfromit.
上主说：＂将棍杖扔在地上！＂他便将棍杖扔在地上，棍杖即刻变成了一条蛇；梅瑟一见，就逃避了。
4＂Now,putoutyourhand,＂theLORDsaidtohim,＂andtakeholdofitstail.＂Soheputouthishandandlaidholdofit,anditbecameastaffinhishand.
上主向梅瑟说：＂伸手捉着蛇的尾巴！──他便伸手捉住，那条蛇在他手里又变成一根棍杖。
5＂Thiswilltakeplacesothattheymaybelieve,＂hecontinued,＂thattheLORD,theGodoftheirfathers,theGodofAbraham,theGodofIsaac,theGodofJacob,didappeartoyou.＂
好叫他们相信上主，他们祖先的天主，亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主和雅各伯的天主曾显示给你。＂
6AgaintheLORDsaidtohim,＂Putyourhandinyourbosom.＂Heputitinhisbosom,andwhenhewithdrewit,tohissurprisehishandwasleprous,likesnow.
上主又对他说：＂将你的手插在怀里！＂他就将手插在怀里；及至抽出手来，见手上患了癞疮，像雪那样白。
7TheLORDthensaid,＂Now,putyourhandbackinyourbosom.＂Mosesputhishandbackinhisbosom,andwhenhewithdrewit,tohissurpriseitwasagainliketherestofhisbody.
天主又说：＂将你的手再插进怀里！──他就把手再插进怀里；及至从怀里抽出时，见手已经恢复原状，像别的肌肉一样。
8＂Iftheywillnotbelieveyou,norheedthemessageofthefirstsign,theyshouldbelievethemessageofthesecond.
如果他们不肯信你，也不信服第一个奇迹，必定信服第二个奇迹。
9Andiftheywillnotbelieveeventhesetwosigns,norheedyourplea,takesomewaterfromtheriverandpouritonthedryland.Thewateryoutakefromtheriverwillbecomebloodonthedryland.＂
如果连这两个奇迹也不信，也不听你的话，你就从尼罗河里取些水，倒在旱地上；你从河里取的水必在旱地上变成血。＂
10Moses,however,saidtotheLORD,＂Ifyouplease,LORD,Ihaveneverbeeneloquent,neitherinthepast,norrecently,nornowthatyouhavespokentoyourservant;butIamslowofspeechandtongue.＂
梅瑟对上主说：＂吾主，请原谅！我不是个有口才的人，以前不是，你向你的仆人说话以后，也不是；我原是笨口结舌的人。＂
11TheLORDsaidtohim,＂Whogivesonemanspeechandmakesanotherdeafanddumb?Orwhogivessighttooneandmakesanotherblind?IsitnotI,theLORD?
上主回答他说：＂是谁给人一个嘴？是谁使人口哑耳聋，眼明眼瞎呢？不是我上主吗？
12Go,then!ItisIwhowillassistyouinspeakingandwillteachyouwhatyouaretosay.＂
现在你去，我要帮助你说话，指教你该说什么。＂
131Yetheinsisted,＂Ifyouplease,Lord,sendsomeoneelse!＂
梅瑟回答说：＂吾主，请原谅！你要打发谁，就打发谁去吧！＂
14ThentheLORDbecameangrywithMosesandsaid,＂Haveyounotyourbrother,AarontheLevite?Iknowthatheisaneloquentspeaker.Besides,heisnowonhiswaytomeetyou.
上主向梅瑟发怒说：＂不是有你的哥哥肋未人亚郎吗？我知道他是有口才的，他现在正前来迎接你；他见了你，心中必要快乐。
15Whenheseesyou,hisheartwillbeglad.Youaretospeaktohim,then,andputthewordsinhismouth.Iwillassistbothyouandhiminspeakingandwillteachthetwoofyouwhatyouaretodo.
你可向他说话，将你应该说的话放在他口中。我要帮助你，也帮助他说话，指教你们应做什么。
162Heshallspeaktothepeopleforyou:heshallbeyourspokesman,andyoushallbeasGodtohim.
他要代替你向百姓说话，作你的口舌；你对他是代替天主。
173Takethisstaffinyourhand;withityouaretoperformthesigns.＂
你手中要拿着这根棍杖，用来行奇迹。＂
184AfterthisMosesreturnedtohisfather-in-lawJethroandsaidtohim,＂Letmegoback,please,tomykinsmeninEgypt,toseewhethertheyarestillliving.＂Jethroreplied,＂Goinpeace.＂
于是梅瑟起来回到他岳父耶特洛那里，对他说：＂请让我回到埃及我弟兄们那里，看看他们还健在吗？＂耶特洛对梅瑟说：＂你平安去罢！＂
19InMidiantheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂GobacktoEgypt,forallthemenwhosoughtyourlifearedead.＂
上主在米德杨对梅瑟说：＂起身回埃及去！因为那些想杀害你的人都死了。＂
20SoMosestookhiswifeandhissons,andstartedbacktothelandofEgypt,withthemridingtheass.ThestaffofGodhecarriedwithhim.
梅瑟遂带着妻子孩子，叫他们骑在驴上，起身回埃及国去了；梅瑟手中拿着天主的棍杖。
215TheLORDsaidtohim,＂OnyourreturntoEgypt,seethatyouperformbeforePharaohallthewondersIhaveputinyourpower.Iwillmakehimobstinate,however,sothathewillnotletthepeoplego.
上主对梅瑟说：＂你回到埃及要将我交于你行的一切奇迹，行于法朗面前；但我要使他心硬，不肯放百姓走。
22SoyoushallsaytoPharaoh:ThussaystheLORD:Israelismyson,myfirst-born.
你要对法朗说：上主这样说：以色列是我的长子。
23HenceItellyou:Letmysongo,thathemayserveme.Ifyourefusetolethimgo,Iwarnyou,Iwillkillyourson,yourfirst-born.＂
我命你，让我的儿子去崇拜我。你若拒绝放他们走，我必要杀你的长子。＂
246Onthejourney,ataplacewheretheyspentthenight,theLordcameuponMosesandwouldhavekilledhim.
梅瑟在路上住宿的时候，上主遇着他，要想杀他。
25ButZipporahtookapieceofflintandcutoffherson'sforeskinand,touchinghisperson,shesaid,＂Youareaspouseofbloodtome.＂
漆颇辣急忙拿了一块石刀，将他儿子的包皮割下，拿包皮接触他的脚说：＂你真是我的血郎。＂
26ThenGodletMosesgo.Atthattimeshesaid,＂Aspouseofblood,＂inregardtothecircumcision.
这样上主就放了他。当时漆颇辣说：＂血郎。＂是因了割损的原故。
27TheLORDsaidtoAaron,＂GointothedeserttomeetMoses.＂Sohewent,andwhentheymetatthemountainofGod,Aaronkissedhim.
其时上主向亚郎说：＂你往旷野去迎接梅瑟！＂他就去了。在天主的山旁预见了梅瑟，口亲了他。
28MosesinformedhimofalltheLORDhadsaidinsendinghim,andofthevarioussignshehadenjoineduponhim.
梅瑟把上主打发他所说的一切话和命他行的奇迹，都告诉了亚郎。

25Mosesanswered,＂AssoonasIleaveyourpresenceIwillpraytotheLORDthatthefliesmaydeparttomorrowfromPharaohandhisservantsandhissubjects.Pharaoh,however,mustnotplayfalseagainbyrefusingtoletthepeoplegotooffersacrificetotheLORD.＂
梅瑟说：＂我现在辞别你去祈求上主，明天狗蝇将会离开陛下，你的臣仆和你的人民，但希望陛下不再欺骗，不放百姓去给上主献祭。＂
26WhenMosesleftPharaoh'spresence,heprayedtotheLORD;
于是梅瑟离开法朗去祈求上主。
27andtheLORDdidasMoseshadasked.HeremovedthefliesfromPharaohandhisservantsandsubjects.Notoneremained.
上主便照梅瑟祈求的行了，叫狗蝇离开法朗、他的臣仆和人民，一个也没有留下。

1ThentheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂GotoPharaohandtellhim:ThussaystheLORD,theGodoftheHebrews:Letmypeoplegotoworshipme.
上主对梅瑟说：＂你去见法朗，向他说：上主希伯来人的天主这样说：你应放走我的百姓，叫他们去崇拜我。
2Ifyourefusetoletthemgoandpersistinholdingthem,
你若拒绝不放，仍然扣留他们，
3Iwarnyou,theLORDwillafflictallyourlivestockinthefield——yourhorses,asses,camels,herdsandflocks——withaveryseverepestilence.
看，上主的手必用一种严厉的瘟疫加在你田野间的一切牲畜：就是马、驴、骆驼、牛、羊身上。
4ButtheLORDwilldistinguishbetweenthelivestockofIsraelandthatofEgypt,sothatnonebelongingtotheIsraeliteswilldie.＂
上主要分清以色列子民的牲畜和埃及人的牲畜，凡是以色列子民的，一个也不死。
5Andsettingadefinitetime,theLORDadded,＂TomorrowtheLORDshalldothisintheland.＂
上主规定了时间说：明天上主要在此地实行这事。＂
6AndonthenextdaytheLORDdidso.AllthelivestockoftheEgyptiansdied,butnotonebeastbelongingtotheIsraelites.
第二天上主便作了这事。埃及人的牲畜完全死了，但以色列子民的，一个也没有死。
7ButthoughPharaoh'smessengersinformedhimthatnotevenonebeastbelongingtotheIsraeliteshaddied,hestillremainedobdurateandwouldnotletthepeoplego.
法朗打发人去看，果然以色列子民的牲畜，连一个也没有死。但是法朗仍然心硬，不肯放走百姓。
8ThentheLORDsaidtoMosesandAaron,＂Takeadoublehandfulofsootfromafurnace,andinthepresenceofPharaohletMosesscatterittowardthesky.
上主又对梅瑟和亚郎说：＂你们满手抓把炉灰，梅瑟要在法朗眼前向天扬起。
9ItwillthenturnintofinedustoverthewholelandofEgyptandcausefesteringboilsonmanandbeastthroughouttheland.＂
这灰要在埃及全国变成尘土，使全埃及国的人和牲畜身上生出红疹和脓疮。
10SotheytooksootfromafurnaceandstoodinthepresenceofPharaoh.Mosesscatteredittowardthesky,anditcausedfesteringboilsonmanandbeast.
他们就取了炉灰站在法朗面前；梅瑟将灰向天扬起，人和牲畜身上便起了红疹和脓疮。
11ThemagicianscouldnotstandinMoses'presence,fortherewereboilsonthemagiciansnolessthanontherestoftheEgyptians.
巫士们因为生了疮，不能站在梅瑟面前，因为巫士和一切埃及人身上都生了疮。
12ButtheLORDmadePharaohobstinate,andhewouldnotlistentothem,justastheLORDhadforetoldtoMoses.
上主使法朗心硬，法朗仍不肯听梅瑟和亚郎的话，正如上主向梅瑟说过的。
13ThentheLORDtoldMoses,＂EarlytomorrowmorningpresentyourselftoPharaohandsaytohim:ThussaystheLORD,theGodoftheHebrews:Letmypeoplegotoworshipme,
上主对梅瑟说：＂明天早晨你去见法朗，向他说：上主，希伯来人的天主这样说：你要放走我的百姓，使他们去崇拜我。
14orthistimeIwillhurlallmyblowsuponyouandyourservantsandyoursubjects,thatyoumayknowthatthereisnonelikemeanywhereonearth.
因为这一次我要使我的一切灾祸降到你、你的臣仆和你的人民身上，为叫你知道全世界上没有相似我的。
15ForbynowIwouldhavestretchedoutmyhandandstruckyouandyoursubjectswithsuchpestilenceaswouldwipeyoufromtheearth.
现在如果我伸手用瘟疫打击你和你的人民，你早已从地上消灭了。
161ButthisiswhyIhavesparedyou:toshowyoumypowerandtomakemynameresoundthroughouttheearth!
我所以保留你的原故，是为叫你看见我的能力，向全世界传扬我的名。

你若仍然固执压迫我的百姓，不放走他们，
18Iwarnyou,then,tomorrowatthishourIwillraindownsuchfiercehailastherehasneverbeeninEgyptfromthedaythenationwasfoundeduptothepresent.
看我明天此时要降下可怕的冰雹，是埃及建国以来直到现在所未有过的。
19Therefore,orderallyourlivestockandwhateverelseyouhaveintheopenfieldstobebroughttoaplaceofsafety.Whatevermanorbeastremainsinthefieldsandisnotbroughttosheltershalldiewhenthehailcomesuponthem.＂
所以你快派人把你的牲畜和田野间的一切，带到安全地方，因为凡在田野间的人和牲畜而不聚到屋内的，冰雹必降在他们身上，将他们砸死。＂
20SomeofPharaoh'sservantsfearedthewarningoftheLORDandhurriedtheirservantsandlivestockofftoshelter.
法朗的臣仆中凡害怕上主的话的，就叫自己的奴仆和牲畜逃避到家中；
21Others,however,didnottakethewarningoftheLORDtoheartandlefttheirservantsandlivestockinthefields.
那不把上主的话放在心上的，就将奴仆和牲畜舍在田野。
22TheLORDthensaidtoMoses,＂Stretchoutyourhandtowardthesky,thathailmayfallupontheentirelandofEgypt,onmanandbeastandeverygrowingthinginthelandofEgypt.＂
上主对梅瑟说：＂向天伸开你的手，使冰雹降在埃及全国，降在人和牲畜身上，降在埃及国内田野间的植物上。＂
23WhenMosesstretchedouthisstafftowardthesky,theLORDsentforthhailandpealsofthunder.Lightningflashedtowardtheearth,andtheLORDraineddownhailuponthelandofEgypt;
梅瑟把他的棍杖向天一伸，上主便叫打雷，下雹，闪电打在地上。上主使冰雹降在埃及地时，
24andlightningconstantlyflashedthroughthehail,suchfiercehailashadneverbeenseeninthelandsinceEgyptbecameanation.
冰雹和冰雹中夹杂着不停的闪电，情形极其可怕，是全埃及国自从有人民以来所没有过的。
25ItstruckdowneverymanandbeastthatwasintheopenthroughoutthelandofEgypt;itbeatdowneverygrowingthingandsplinteredeverytreeinthefields.
冰雹把埃及全境，田野间所有的一切，连人和牲畜都打死了，打坏了田野间的一切蔬菜，打断了郊野的一切树木；
26OnlyinthelandofGoshen,wheretheIsraelitesdwelt,wastherenohail.
只有以色列子民所居住的歌笙地没有冰雹。
27ThenPharaohsummonedMosesandAaronandsaidtothem,＂Ihavesinnedagain!TheLORDisjust;itisIandmysubjectswhoareatfault.
法朗打发人召梅瑟和亚郎来，对他们说：＂这次我犯了罪，上主是正义的，我和我的人民都有罪过。
28PraytotheLORD,forwehavehadenoughofGod'sthunderandhail.ThenIwillletyougo;youneedstaynolonger.＂
请你们祈求上主！天主的雷和冰雹已够受了；我决放走你们，你们不要再留在这里。＂
29Mosesreplied,＂AssoonasIleavethecityIwillextendmyhandstotheLORD;thethunderwillcease,andtherewillbenomorehail.ThusyoushalllearnthattheearthistheLORD'S.
梅瑟回答他说＂我出城后，就向上主伸手，雷必会停止，冰雹也不再降下，为叫你知道，大地是属于上主的。
30Butyouandyourservants,Iknow,donotyetfeartheLORDGod.＂
但是我知道，你和你的臣仆，仍不敬畏上主天主。＂
31Nowtheflaxandthebarleywereruined,becausethebarleywasinearandtheflaxinbud.
麻和大麦都被打坏，因为大麦已经吐穗，麻也开花，
32Butthewheatandthespeltwerenotruined,fortheygrowlater.
只是小麦和粗麦，因为长的迟些，没有被打坏。
33WhenMoseshadleftPharaoh'spresenceandhadgoneoutofthecity,heextendedhishandstotheLORD.Thenthethunderandthehailceased,andtherainnolongerpoureddownupontheearth.
梅瑟离开法朗出了城，向上主伸手，雷和雹就停止了，雨也不往地上下了。
23ButPharaoh,seeingthattherainandhailandthunderhadceased,sinnedagain:hewithhisservantsbecameobdurate,
法朗见雨、雹、雷都停止了，又再犯罪，他和他的臣仆又心硬了。
35andinhisobstinacyhewouldnotlettheIsraelitesgo,astheLORDhadforetoldthroughMoses.
法朗更加心硬，不肯放走以色列子民，正如上主借梅瑟所说的。

法朗的臣仆们向法朗说：＂这人陷害我们要到几时呢？释放这些人去崇拜上主他们的天主罢！埃及已经灭亡，你还不知道吗？＂

蝗虫遮盖了地面，大地变黑。蝗虫吃尽了冰雹所剩下的一切植物和一切果实，这样埃及全国无论是树上或是田野间的植物上，没有留下半点青叶。
16HastilyPharaohsummonedMosesandAaronandsaid,＂IhavesinnedagainsttheLORD,yourGod,andagainstyou.

3Mosessaidtothepeople,＂RememberthisdayonwhichyoucameoutofEgypt,thatplaceofslavery.ItwaswithastronghandthattheLORDbroughtyouaway.Nothingmadewithleavenmustbeeaten.
梅瑟向百姓说：＂你们应当记念从埃及，从为奴之家出来的这一天，因为上主在这一天用强有力的手臂，从那里领出了你们，故此不可吃有酵的食物。

几时上主领你们进了客纳罕人、赫特人、阿摩黎人、希威人和耶步斯人的地方，就是他向你的祖先起誓应许给你那流奶流蜜之地，你应在这一月举行此礼：
6Forsevendaysyoushalleatunleavenedbread,andtheseventhdayshallalsobeafestivaltotheLORD.
七天之内应吃无酵饼，第七天是敬礼上主的节日。
7Onlyunleavenedbreadmaybeeatenduringthesevendays;noleavenandnothingleavenedmaybefoundinallyourterritory.
七天之内吃无酵饼，在你面前不可有发酵之物，在你四境之内也不可见有酵母。
8Onthisdayyoushallexplaintoyourson,'ThisisbecauseofwhattheLORDdidformewhenIcameoutofEgypt.'
在那一天要告诉你们的儿子说：是因为上主在我出埃及时，为我所行的事。

10Therefore,youshallkeepthisprescribedriteatitsappointedtimefromyeartoyear.
所以你应年年按照定期遵守这规定。
11＂WhentheLORD,yourGod,hasbroughtyouintothelandoftheCanaanites,whichhesworetoyouandyourfathershewouldgiveyou,

原来法朗顽固，不释放我们，上主就把埃及国一切首生者，不拘是人或牲畜的首生者都杀了，为此我把一切首开母胎的雄性都祭献于上主；但首生的男孩，我却要赎回。
16Letthis,then,beasasignonyourhandandasapendantonyourforehead:withastronghandtheLORDbroughtusoutofEgypt.＂

法朗放走百姓以后，天主没有领他们走培肋舍特地的近路，因为天主想：＂怕百姓遇见战争而后悔，再回到埃及。＂
18Instead,hereroutedthemtowardtheRedSeabywayofthedesertroad.InbattlearraytheIsraelitesmarchedoutofEgypt.
因此天主领百姓绕道，走向靠红海的旷野。以色列子民都武装着离开了埃及。
19MosesalsotookJoseph'sbonesalong,forJosephhadmadetheIsraelitesswearsolemnlythat,whenGodshouldcometothem,theywouldcarryhisbonesawaywiththem.
梅瑟也带了若瑟的骨骸，因为若瑟曾叫以色列的儿子们起誓说：＂天主必要眷顾你们，那时你们应把我的骨骸从此地带回去。＂
20SettingoutfromSuccoth,theycampedatEthamneartheedgeofthedesert.
他从稣苛特起程前行，就在位于旷野边缘的厄堂安了营。

＂你吩咐以色列子民转回，在米革多耳及海之间的丕哈希洛特前，面对巴耳责丰安营，即在巴耳责丰之前，靠近海边安营。
3Pharaohwillthensay,‘TheIsraelitesarewanderingaboutaimlesslyintheland.Thedeserthasclosedinonthem.'
如此，法朗必然以为以色列子民在国境内迷了路，旷野困住了他们。
4ThuswillImakePharaohsoobstinatethathewillpursuethem.ThenIwillreceiveglorythroughPharaohandallhisarmy,andtheEgyptianswillknowthatIamtheLORD.＂ThistheIsraelitesdid.
我要使法郎心硬，在后面追赶他们，这样我将在法郎和他全军身上，大显神能，使埃及人知道我是上主。＂以色列子民就照样作了。
5WhenitwasreportedtothekingofEgyptthatthepeoplehadfled,Pharaohandhisservantschangedtheirmindsaboutthem.＂Whathavewedone!＂theyexclaimed.＂Why,wehavereleasedIsraelfromourservice!＂
有人报告埃及王说：那百姓逃走了。法郎和他的臣仆对那百姓变了心，说：＂我们放走以色列人，不再给我们服役，这是作的什么事？＂
6SoPharaohmadehischariotsreadyandmusteredhissoldiers—
法郎遂命人准备他的车，亲自率领兵士，
7sixhundredfirst-classchariotsandalltheotherchariotsofEgypt,withwarriorsonthemall.
还带了六百辆精良战车和埃及所有的战车，每辆车上都有战士驾驶。
8SoobstinatehadtheLORDmadePharaohthathepursuedtheIsraelitesevenwhiletheyweremarchingawayintriumph.
上主使埃及王法郎心硬，在后面追赶以色列子民；当以色列子民大胆前行的时候，
9TheEgyptians,then,pursuedthem;Pharaoh'swholearmy,hishorses,chariotsandcharioteers,caughtupwiththemastheylayencampedbythesea,atPi-hahiroth,infrontofBaal-zephon.
埃及人在后面追赶他们，法郎所有的车马、骑士和步兵就在靠近丕哈希洛特，巴耳责丰对面，以色列子民安营的地方赶上了。
10PharaohwasalreadynearwhentheIsraeliteslookedupandsawthattheEgyptianswereonthemarchinpursuitofthem.IngreatfrighttheycriedouttotheLORD.
当法郎来近的时候，以色列子民举目，看见埃及人赶来，都十分恐怖，向上主哀号，
11AndtheycomplainedtoMoses,＂WeretherenoburialplacesinEgyptthatyouhadtobringusoutheretodieinthedesert?Whydidyoudothistous?WhydidyoubringusoutofEgypt?
也向梅瑟说：＂你带我们死在旷野里，难道埃及没有坟墓吗？你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来？
12DidwenottellyouthisinEgypt,whenwesaid,‘Leaveusalone.LetusservetheEgyptians'?FarbetterforustobetheslavesoftheEgyptiansthantodieinthedesert.＂
我们在埃及不是对你说过这话：不要扰乱我们，我们甘愿服侍埃及人，服侍埃及人比死在旷野里还好呀！＂
13ButMosesansweredthepeople,＂Fearnot!Standyourground,andyouwillseethevictorytheLORDwillwinforyoutoday.TheseEgyptianswhomyouseetodayyouwillneverseeagain.
梅瑟向百姓说：＂你们不要害怕，站着别动，观看上主今天给你们施的救恩，因为你们所见的埃及人，永远再见不到了。
14TheLORDhimselfwillfightforyou;youhaveonlytokeepstill.＂
上主必替你们作战，你们应安静等待。＂
15ThentheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂Whyareyoucryingouttome?TelltheIsraelitestogoforward.
上主向梅瑟说：＂你为什么向我哀号，吩咐以色列子民起营前行。
16Andyou,liftupyourstaffand,withhandoutstretchedoverthesea,splittheseaintwo,thattheIsraelitesmaypassthroughitondryland.
你举起棍杖，把你的手伸到海上，分开海水，叫以色列子民在海中干地上走过。

我向法郎，向他的战车和骑兵大显神能的时候，埃及人将会知道我是上主。＂
19TheangelofGod,whohadbeenleadingIsrael'scamp,nowmovedandwentaroundbehindthem.Thecolumnofcloudalso,leavingthefront,tookupitsplacebehindthem,
在以色列大队前面走的天主的使者，就转到他们后面走，云柱也从他们前面转到他们后面停下，
202sothatitcamebetweenthecampoftheEgyptiansandthatofIsrael.Butthecloudnowbecamedark,andthusthenightpassedwithouttherivalcampscominganyclosertogetherallnightlong.
即来到埃及军营和以色列军营中间；那一夜云柱一面发黑，一面发光，这样整夜军队彼此不能接近。
21ThenMosesstretchedouthishandoverthesea,andtheLORDswepttheseawithastrongeastwindthroughoutthenightandsoturneditintodryland.Whenthewaterwasthusdivided,
梅瑟向海伸手，上主就用极强的东风，一夜之间把海水刮退，使海底成为干地。水分开以后，
22theIsraelitesmarchedintothemidstoftheseaondryland,withthewaterlikeawalltotheirrightandtotheirleft.
以色列子民便在海中干地上走过，水在他们左右好象墙壁。
23TheEgyptiansfollowedinpursuit;allPharaoh'shorsesandchariotsandcharioteerswentafterthemrightintothemidstofthesea.
随后埃及人也赶来，法郎所有的马、战车和骑兵，都跟着他们来到海中。
24InthenightwatchjustbeforedawntheLORDcastthroughthecolumnofthefierycloudupontheEgyptianforceaglancethatthrewitintoapanic;
到了晨时末更，上主在火柱和云柱上，窥探埃及军队，使埃及的军队混乱。

又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说：＂我们由以色列人前逃走罢！因为上主替他们作战，攻击埃及人。＂
26ThentheLORDtoldMoses,＂Stretchoutyourhandoverthesea,thatthewatermayflowbackupontheEgyptians,upontheirchariotsandtheircharioteers.＂

这样上主在那一天从埃及人手中拯救了以色列人。以色列人看见了埃及人的尸首浮在海边上。

但到第六天，他们准备带回来的食物要比每天多一倍。”
6SoMosesandAarontoldalltheIsraelites,＂AteveningyouwillknowthatitwastheLORDwhobroughtyououtofthelandofEgypt;
梅瑟和亚郎对全以色列子民说：“今晚你们要知道，是上主领你们出了埃及国；
7andinthemorningyouwillseethegloryoftheLORD,asheheedsyourgrumblingagainsthim.Butwhatarewethatyoushouldgrumbleagainstus?
明早你们要看见上主的荣耀，因为你们抱怨上主的话，他已听见了。我们算什么？你们竟抱怨我们！”
8WhentheLORDgivesyoufleshtoeatintheevening,＂continuedMoses,＂andinthemorningyourfillofbread,asheheedsthegrumblingyouutteragainsthim,whatthenarewe?Yourgrumblingisnotagainstus,butagainsttheLORD.＂
梅瑟又说：“晚上上主要给你们肉吃，早晨你们可以吃饱，因为上主听见了你们抱怨他所说的怨言。我们算什么？你们不是抱怨我们，而是抱怨上主。”
9ThenMosessaidtoAaron,＂TellthewholeIsraelitecommunity:PresentyourselvesbeforetheLORD,forhehasheardyourgrumbling.＂
梅瑟向亚郎说：＂你向以色列子民全会众说：你们应走到上主前，因为他听见了你们的怨言。＂
10WhenAaronannouncedthistothewholeIsraelitecommunity,theyturnedtowardthedesert,andlo,thegloryoftheLORDappearedinthecloud!
亚郎正向以色列子民全会众说话的时候，他们转面朝向旷野，看见上主的荣耀显现在云彩中。
11TheLORDspoketoMosesandsaid,
那时上主向梅瑟说：＂
12＂IhaveheardthegrumblingoftheIsraelites.Tellthem:Intheeveningtwilightyoushalleatflesh,andinthemorningyoushallhaveyourfillofbread,sothatyoumayknowthatI,theLORD,amyourGod.＂
我听见了以色列子民的怨言。你给他们说：黄昏的时候你们要有肉吃，早晨要有食物吃饱，这样你们就知道，我是上主，你们的天主。＂
13Intheeveningquailcameupandcoveredthecamp.Inthemorningadewlayallaboutthecamp,
到了晚上，有鹌鹑飞来，遮盖了营幕；到了早晨，营幕四周落了一层露水。
14andwhenthedewevaporated,thereonthesurfaceofthedesertwerefineflakeslikehoarfrostontheground.
露水升化之后，在旷野的地面上，留下稀薄的碎屑，稀薄得好象地上的霜。
153Onseeingit,theIsraelitesaskedoneanother,＂Whatisthis?＂fortheydidnotknowwhatitwas.ButMosestoldthem,＂ThisisthebreadwhichtheLORDhasgivenyoutoeat.
以色列子民一见，就彼此问说：＂这是什么？＂原来他们不知道这是什么。梅瑟告诉他们说：＂这是上主赐给你们吃的食物。
16＂Now,thisiswhattheLORDhascommanded.Sogatheritthateveryonehasenoughtoeat,anomerforeachperson,asmanyofyouasthereare,eachmanprovidingforthoseofhisowntent.＂
上主曾这样吩咐说：你们应按每人的食量去收敛，按照你们帐幕的人数去拾取，每人一＂曷默耳。＂
17TheIsraelitesdidso.Somegatheredalargeandsomeasmallamount.
以色列子民就照样作了；收敛的时候，有的多，有的少，
184Butwhentheymeasureditoutbytheomer,hewhohadgatheredalargeamountdidnothavetoomuch,andhewhohadgatheredasmallamountdidnothavetoolittle.Theysogatheredthateveryonehadenoughtoeat.
但他们用＂曷默耳＂衡量时，那多收的，也没有剩余；那少收的，也没有缺少；各人正按他们的食量收敛了。
19Mosesalsotoldthem,＂Letnoonekeepanyofitoveruntiltomorrowmorning.＂
梅瑟向他们说：＂谁也不准将一些留到早晨。＂
20Buttheywouldnotlistentohim.Whensomekeptapartofitoveruntilthefollowingmorning,itbecamewormyandrotten.ThereforeMoseswasdispleasedwiththem.
但他们没有听梅瑟的话；有些人把一些留到早晨，但都被虫子咬烂，发生臭味；梅瑟遂向他们发怒。
21Morningaftermorningtheygatheredit,tilleachhadenoughtoeat;butwhenthesungrewhot,themannameltedaway.
于是他们每天早晨按各人的食量去收敛；太阳一发热，就融化了。
22Onthesixthdaytheygatheredtwiceasmuchfood,twoomersforeachperson.WhenalltheleadersofthecommunitycameandreportedthistoMoses,
到了第六天他们收敛了两倍的食物，每人二＂曷默耳；＂会众的首领来向梅瑟报告此事。
23hetoldthem,＂ThatiswhattheLORDprescribed.Tomorrowisadayofcompleterest,thesabbath,sacredtotheLORD.Youmayeitherbakeorboilthemanna,asyouplease;butwhateverisleftputawayandkeepforthemorrow.＂
梅瑟向他们说：＂上主曾这样吩咐说：明天是安息日；是祝圣于上主的安息圣日；你们要烤的就烤罢！要煮的，就煮罢！凡吃了剩下的，应保留到次日。＂
24Whentheyputitawayforthemorrow,asMosescommanded,itdidnotbecomerottenorwormy.
他们就照梅瑟所吩咐的，把吃了剩下的，留到次日也没有发臭，也没有虫咬。
25Mosesthensaid,＂Eatittoday,fortodayisthesabbathoftheLORD.Onthisdayyouwillnotfindanyofitontheground.
梅瑟说道：＂今天吃这些罢！因为今天是敬上主的安息日，今天在野外什么也找不到。
26Ontheothersixdaysyoucangatherit,butontheseventhday,thesabbath,noneofitwillbethere.＂
六天你们可去收敛，但第七天是安息日，什么也没有。＂
27Still,ontheseventhdaysomeofthepeoplewentouttogatherit,althoughtheydidnotfindany.
到了第七天，百姓中有人去收敛，但什么也没有找到。
28ThentheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂Howlongwillyourefusetokeepmycommandmentsandlaws?
上主向梅瑟说：＂你们不守我的命令和我的法律要到何时呢？
29Takenote!TheLORDhasgivenyouthesabbath.Thatiswhyonthesixthdayhegivesyoufoodfortwodays.Ontheseventhdayeveryoneistostayhomeandnooneistogoout.＂
看上主给你们立了安息日，为此到第六天他给你们两天的食物；到第七天各人都应留在家内，不准任何人离开自己的地方。＂
30Afterthatthepeoplerestedontheseventhday.
这样百姓在第七天守了安息日。
315TheIsraelitescalledthisfoodmanna.Itwaslikecorianderseed,butwhite,andittastedlikewafersmadewithhoney.
以色列家给这食物取名叫＂玛纳。＂它像胡荽的种子那样白，滋味好似蜜饼。
32Mosessaid,＂ThisiswhattheLORDhascommanded.Keepanomerfulofmannaforyourdescendants,thattheymayseewhatfoodIgaveyoutoeatinthedesertwhenIbroughtyououtofthelandofEgypt.＂
梅瑟说：＂上主这样吩咐说：装满一＂曷默耳＂玛纳，留给你们的后代子孙，为使他们能看到我领你们出离埃及国时，在旷野里养活你们的食物。＂
336MosesthentoldAaron,＂Takeanurnandputanomerofmannainit.ThenplaceitbeforetheLORDinsafekeepingforyourdescendants.＂
梅瑟向亚郎说：＂拿一个罐子，装满一＂曷默耳＂玛纳，放在上主面前，留给你们的后代子孙。＂
347SoAaronplaceditinfrontofthecommandmentsforsafekeeping,astheLORDhadcommandedMoses.
亚郎就照上主吩咐梅瑟的话，将玛纳放在约版前面，保留起来。
35TheIsraelitesatethismannaforfortyyears,untiltheycametosettledland;theyatemannauntiltheyreachedthebordersofCanaan.
以色列子民吃玛纳四十年之久，直到进入有人居住的地方为止；他们吃玛纳，直到进入客纳罕地的边界。
36(Anomerisonetenthofanephah.)
一＂曷默耳＂是一＂厄法＂的十分之一。

1FromthedesertofSinthewholeIsraelitecommunityjourneyedbystages,astheLORDdirected,andencampedatRephidim.Heretherewasnowaterforthepeopletodrink.
以色列子民全会众按照上主的吩咐，由欣旷野起程，一站一站地前行，然后在勒非丁安了营。在那里百姓没有水喝，
2Theyquarreled,therefore,withMosesandsaid,＂Giveuswatertodrink.＂Mosesreplied,＂Whydoyouquarrelwithme?WhydoyouputtheLORDtoatest?＂
因此百姓与梅瑟争吵说：＂给我们水喝罢！＂梅瑟回答他们说：＂你们为什么与我争吵，为什么试探上主？＂
3Here,then,intheirthirstforwater,thepeoplegrumbledagainstMoses,saying,＂WhydidyouevermakeusleaveEgypt?Wasitjusttohaveusdiehereofthirstwithourchildrenandourlivestock?＂
因百姓在那里渴望水喝，就抱怨梅瑟说：＂你为什么从埃及领我们上来？难道要使我们，我们的子女和牲畜都渴死吗？＂
4SoMosescriedouttotheLORD,＂WhatshallIdowiththispeople?Alittlemoreandtheywillstoneme!＂
梅瑟向上主呼号说：＂我要怎样对待这百姓呢？他们几乎愿用石头砸死我！＂
5TheLORDansweredMoses,＂Gooverthereinfrontofthepeople,alongwithsomeoftheeldersofIsrael,holdinginyourhand,asyougo,thestaffwithwhichyoustrucktheriver.
上主回答梅瑟说：＂你到百姓面前去，带上几个以色列长老，手中拿着你击打尼罗河的棍杖去！
6IwillbestandingthereinfrontofyouontherockinHoreb.Striketherock,andthewaterwillflowfromitforthepeopletodrink.＂ThisMosesdid,inthepresenceoftheeldersofIsrael.
看，我要在你面前站在曷勒布那里的盘石上，你击打盘石，就有水流出来，给百姓喝。＂梅瑟就在以色列的长老眼前照样作了。
71TheplacewascalledMassahandMeribah,becausetheIsraelitesquarreledthereandtestedtheLORD,saying,＂IstheLORDinourmidstornot?＂
他称那地方为玛撒和默黎巴，因为以色列子民在那里争吵过，并试探过上主说：＂上主是否在我们中间？＂
82AtRephidim,AmalekcameandwagedwaragainstIsrael.
那时有阿玛肋克人，来在非勒丁同以色列人作战。
9Moses,therefore,saidtoJoshua,＂Pickoutcertainmen,andtomorrowgooutandengageAmalekinbattle.IwillbestandingontopofthehillwiththestaffofGodinmyhand.＂
梅瑟向若苏厄说：＂你给我们选拔壮丁，明天去同阿玛肋克人作战，我手中拿着天主的棍杖，站在这高岗顶上。＂
10SoJoshuadidasMosestoldhim:heengagedAmalekinbattleafterMoseshadclimbedtothetopofthehillwithAaronandHur.
若苏厄就照梅瑟吩咐他的作了，去同阿玛肋克作战；同时梅瑟、亚郎和胡尔上了那高冈顶上。
11AslongasMoseskepthishandsraisedup,Israelhadthebetterofthefight,butwhenhelethishandsrest,Amalekhadthebetterofthefight.
当梅瑟举手的时候，以色列就打胜仗；放下手的时候，阿玛肋克就打胜仗。
12Moses'hands,however,grewtired;sotheyputarockinplaceforhimtositon.MeanwhileAaronandHursupportedhishands,oneononesideandoneontheother,sothathishandsremainedsteadytillsunset.
终于梅瑟的手举疲乏了。他们就搬了块石头来，放在他下边，叫他坐下，亚郎和胡尔，一边一个托着他的手：这样他的手举着不动，直到日落的时候。
13AndJoshuamoweddownAmalekandhispeoplewiththeedgeofthesword.
于是若苏厄用刀剑打败了阿玛肋克和他的人民。
14ThentheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂Writethisdowninadocumentassomethingtoberemembered,andreciteitintheearsofJoshua:IwillcompletelyblotoutthememoryofAmalekfromundertheheavens.＂
上主向梅瑟说：＂将这事写在书上作为记念，并训示若苏厄，我要从天下把阿玛肋克的记念完全消灭。＂

百姓见梅瑟迟迟不下山，就聚集到亚郎跟前，对他说：＂起来，给我们制造一尊神像，在我们前面引路，因为那领我们出埃及国的梅瑟，不知道遭遇了什么事。＂

随后拿过他们所造的牛犊，投在火中焚烧，捣成细末，撒在水面上，叫以色列子民喝。

就站在营幕门口说：＂凡属上主的，到我跟前来！＂于是肋未的子孙聚到梅瑟前。
273andhetoldthem,＂ThussaystheLORD,theGodofIsrael:Putyourswordonyourhip,everyoneofyou!Nowgoupanddownthecamp,fromgatetogate,andslayyourownkinsmen,yourfriendsandneighbors!＂
梅瑟向他们说：＂上主，以色列的天主这样说：每人要把刀配在腰间，在营中往来，从这门到那门，要杀自己的兄弟、朋友和亲人。＂

梅瑟说：＂今天你们应接受奉事上主的圣职，因为你们每人牺牲了自己的儿子和兄弟，上主今日必赐福与你们。＂

到了次日，梅瑟向百姓说：＂你们犯了重罪，现在我要上到上主台前，也许我能为你们赎罪。＂
31SoMoseswentbacktotheLORDandsaid,＂Ah,thispeoplehasindeedcommittedagravesininmakingagodofgoldforthemselves!
梅瑟回到上主那里说：＂唉！这百姓犯了重罪，为自己制造了金神像。
325Ifyouwouldonlyforgivetheirsin!Ifyouwillnot,thenstrikemeoutofthebookthatyouhavewritten.＂
现在只求你赦免他们的罪，不然，就把我从你所记录的册子上抹去罢！＂
