旧约 -- 出埃及记(Exodus) -- 第4章
4:1 摩西回答说,他们必不信我,也不听我的话,必说,耶和华并没有向你显现。
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
4:2 耶和华对摩西说,你手里是什么。他说,是杖。
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
4:3 耶和华说,丢在地上。他一丢下去,就变作蛇,摩西便跑开。
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4:4 耶和华对摩西说,伸出手来,拿住它的尾巴,它必在你手中仍变为杖,And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
4:5 如此好叫他们信耶和华他们祖宗的神,就是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神,是向你显现了。
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
4:6 耶和华又对他说,把手放在怀里。他就把手放在怀里,及至抽出来,不料,手长了大麻疯,有雪那样白。
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
4:7 耶和华说,再把手放在怀里。他就再把手放在怀里,及至从怀里抽出来,不料,手已经复原,与周身的肉一样,And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
4:8 又说,倘或他们不听你的话,也不信头一个神迹,他们必信第二个神迹。
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
4:9 这两个神迹若都不信,也不听你的话,你就从河里取些水,倒在旱地上,你从河里取的水必在旱地上变作血。
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
4:10 摩西对耶和华说,主阿,我素日不是能言的人,就是从你对仆人说话以后,也是这样。我本是拙口笨舌的。
And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
4:11 耶和华对他说,谁造人的口呢,谁使人口哑,耳聋,目明,眼瞎呢,岂不是我耶和华吗。
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
4:12 现在去吧,我必赐你口才,指教你所当说的话。
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
4:13 摩西说,主阿,你愿意打发谁,就打发谁去吧。
And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
4:14 耶和华向摩西发怒说,不是有你的哥哥利未人亚伦吗,我知道他是能言的,现在他出来迎接你,他一见你,心里就欢喜。
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
4:15 你要将当说的话传给他,我也要赐你和他口才,又要指教你们所当行的事。
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
4:16 他要替你对百姓说话,你要以他当作口,他要以你当作神。
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
4:17 你手里要拿这杖,好行神迹。
And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
4:18 于是,摩西回到他岳父叶忒罗那里,对他说,求你容我回去见我在埃及的弟兄,看他们还在不在。叶忒罗对摩西说,你可以平平安安地去吧。

And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
4:22 你要对法老说,耶和华这样说,以色列是我的儿子,我的长子。
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
4:23 我对你说过,容我的儿子去,好事奉我。你还是不肯容他去。看哪,我要杀你的长子。
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
