出埃及记 6
1 耶和华对摩西说：“现在你必看见我向法老所行的事，使他因我大能的手容以色列人去，且把他们赶出他的地。”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 神晓谕摩西说：“我是耶和华。
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 我从前向亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各显现为全能的 神；至于我名耶和华，他们未曾知道。
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 我与他们坚定所立的约，要把他们寄居的迦南地赐给他们。
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
5 我也听见以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀声，我也记念我的约。
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
6 所以你要对以色列人说：‘我是耶和华；我要用伸出来的膀臂重重地刑罚埃及人，救赎你们脱离他们的重担，不做他们的苦工。
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
7 我要以你们为我的百姓，我也要作你们的 神。你们要知道我是耶和华—你们的 神，是救你们脱离埃及人之重担的。
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
8 我起誓应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地，我要把你们领进去，将那地赐给你们为业。我是耶和华。’”
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
9 摩西将这话告诉以色列人，只是他们因苦工愁烦，不肯听他的话。
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
10 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 “你进去对埃及王法老说，要容以色列人出他的地。”
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
12 摩西在耶和华面前说：“以色列人尚且不听我的话，法老怎肯听我这拙口笨舌的人呢？”
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
13 耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦往以色列人和埃及王法老那里去，把以色列人从埃及地领出来。
But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
