後来摩西丶亚伦去对法老说:「 耶和华─以色列的 上帝这样说:『容我的百姓去,在旷野向我守节。』」
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
法老说:「 耶和华是谁,使我听从他的话,容以色列去呢?我不认识 耶和华,也不容以色列去。」
And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
他们说:「希伯来人的 上帝见了我们;求你容我们往荒漠去,走三天的路程,祭祀 耶和华─我们的 上帝,免得他用瘟疫或刀兵攻击我们。」
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
埃及王对他们说:「摩西丶亚伦,你们为甚麽叫百姓旷工呢?你们去担你们的担子吧。」
And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
法老又说:「看哪,这地的以色列人如今众多,你们竟叫他们歇下担子。」
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
当日,法老吩咐督工的和他们的官长说:
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
「你们不可照常把草给百姓作砖。叫他们自己去捡草。
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
他们素常作砖的数目,你们仍旧向他们要;一点不可减少。因为他们是懒惰的;所以他们呼求说:『容我们去祭祀我们的 上帝。』
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [ought] thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.
你们要把更多的工作加在这些人身上,叫他们劳碌;不容他们听虚空的言语。」
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
督工的和官长出来对百姓说:「法老这样说:『我不给你们草。
And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
你们自己在哪里能找草,就往那里去找吧。但你们的工一点不可减少。』」
Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
於是百姓散在埃及遍地,捡碎稭当作草。
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
督工的催着说:「你们一天当完一天的工,与先前有草一样。」
And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
法老督工的,责打他所派以色列人的官长,说:「你们昨天今天为甚麽没有照向来的数目作砖丶完你们的工作呢?」
And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
以色列人的官长就来哀求法老说:「为甚麽这样待你的仆人?
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
督工的不把草给仆人,并且对我们说:『作砖吧。』看哪,你仆人挨了打,其实是你百姓的错。」
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thine own people.
但法老说:「你们是懒惰的。你们是懒惰的。所以说:『容我们去祭祀 耶和华。』
But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
现在你们去作工吧。草是不给你们的,砖却要如数交纳。」
Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
以色列人的官长听说「你们每天作砖的工作一点不可减少」,就见他们是遭遇祸患了。
And the officers of the children of Israel did see [that] they [were] in evil [case], after it was said, Ye shall not minish [ought] from your bricks of your daily task.
他们离了法老出来,正遇见摩西丶亚伦站在对面,
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
就向他们说:「愿 耶和华鉴察你们,施行判断;因你们使我们在法老和他臣仆面前有了臭名,把刀递在他们手中杀我们。」
And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
摩西回到 耶和华那里,说:「 主啊,你为甚麽苦待这百姓呢?你为甚麽打发我去呢?
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou [so] evil entreated this people? why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?
自从我去见法老,奉你的名说话,他就苦待这百姓;你一点也没有拯救你的百姓。」
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
