出埃及 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝赐摩西能力
4 摩西回答说：“他们不会相信我或听我的话，他们会说，‘耶和华根本没有向你显现。’” 2 耶和华对摩西说：“你手里拿的是什么？”摩西说：“是一根手杖。” 3 耶和华说：“把它丢在地上！”于是，摩西把杖丢在地上，杖变成了一条蛇。摩西连忙跑开。 4 耶和华说：“你伸手抓住它的尾巴！”摩西就伸手抓蛇的尾巴，蛇在他手中变回了杖。 5 耶和华说：“这样，他们就会相信他们祖先的上帝耶和华，就是亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的上帝，曾经向你显现。”
6 耶和华又说：“把手放进怀里。”摩西把手放进怀里，手抽出来的时候，竟患了麻风病，像雪一样白。 7 耶和华说：“再把手放进怀里。”摩西又把手放进怀里，这次再抽出来的时候，手已经复原，跟其他地方的皮肉一样。 8 耶和华说：“纵然他们不听你的话，不信第一个神迹，也必定相信第二个神迹。 9 如果他们两个神迹都不相信，还是不听你的话，你就从尼罗河里取些水来倒在旱地上，那水就会在旱地上变成血。”
10 摩西对耶和华说：“主啊！我向来不善言辞，即使你对仆人说话以后，我还是不善言辞，因为我是个拙口笨舌的人。” 11 耶和华对他说：“是谁造人的口舌？是谁使人变成哑巴或聋子？是谁使人目明或眼瞎？不都是我耶和华吗？ 12 去吧！我必赐给你口才，指示你说什么话。” 13 但是摩西说：“主啊，请派其他人去吧。” 14 耶和华向摩西发怒说：“利未人亚伦不是你哥哥吗？他是个能言善辨的人，正要来迎接你。他见到你一定很欢喜。 15 你要把该说的话传给他，我会赐你们口才，教你们如何行事。 16 他要替你向百姓说话，做你的发言人，你对他来说就像上帝一样。 17 你要把手杖带在身边，以便行神迹。”
18 摩西回到家里，对他的岳父叶忒罗说：“求你让我回埃及去探望我的亲人，看看他们是否在世。”叶忒罗说：“你平安地去吧。” 19 耶和华在米甸对摩西说：“你只管放心回埃及去，想害你性命的人都已经死了。” 20 于是，摩西拿着上帝的杖，带着妻子和儿子骑驴返回埃及。 21 耶和华对摩西说：“你到了埃及，见到法老的时候，务要照我赐给你的能力在法老面前行神迹。但我要使他的心刚硬，他必不让百姓离开。 22 那时，你就告诉法老，‘耶和华说，以色列是我的长子， 23 我对你说过让我的长子出去事奉我，但你执意不肯。看啊，我要杀你的长子。’”
24 摩西在途中夜宿的时候，耶和华遇见摩西，想要杀他。 25 他的妻子西坡拉拿起锋利的火石，割下儿子的包皮，放在摩西脚前，说：“你真是我的血郎。” 26 这样，耶和华才没杀他。当时，西坡拉说“血郎”是指割礼一事。
27 耶和华对亚伦说：“你到旷野去迎接摩西。”他就在上帝的山上遇见摩西，并亲吻他。 28 摩西把耶和华吩咐他的以及要他行的神迹都告诉了亚伦。 29 摩西和亚伦一起回去招聚以色列的众长老， 30 亚伦把耶和华对摩西的吩咐详细地告诉他们。摩西又在百姓面前行了那些神迹， 31 百姓相信了。以色列人听见耶和华眷顾他们、看到了他们的苦难，都俯伏敬拜祂。

If They Will Not Believe These Signs
4 Then Moses answered and said, “What if they will not believe me and will not (A)listen to my voice? For they may say, ‘(B)Yahweh has not appeared to you.’” 2 And Yahweh said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “(C)A staff.” 3 Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and (D)it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—so he stretched out his hand and took hold of it, and it became a staff in his [a]hand— 5 “that (E)they may believe that (F)Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 And Yahweh furthermore said to him, “Now put your hand into your bosom.” So he put his hand into his bosom; then he took it out, and behold, his hand was (G)leprous like snow. 7 Then He said, “Return your hand into your bosom.” So he returned his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, (H)it returned to being like the rest of his flesh. 8 “And so it will be, if they will not believe you or listen to the [b]witness of the first sign, they may believe the [c]witness of [d]this last sign. 9 But if it will be that they will not believe even these two signs and that they will not listen to your voice, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry land; and the water which you take from the Nile (I)will become blood on the dry land.”
Aaron to Speak for Moses
10 Then Moses said to Yahweh, “Please, Lord, (J)I have never been a man of words, neither [e]recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your slave; for I am one with a [f]hard mouth and a [g]hard tongue.” 11 And Yahweh said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or (K)who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? 12 So now, go, and (L)I, even I, will be with your mouth and will (M)instruct you what you shall speak.” 13 But he said, “Please, Lord, [h]send now the message by whomever You will.” 14 Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Moses, and He said, “Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that [i]he can certainly speak. And moreover, behold, (N)he is coming out to meet you. And he will see you and be glad in his heart. 15 And you are to speak to him and (O)put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will instruct [j]you in what you shall do. 16 Moreover, (P)he shall speak for you to the people; and he will become as a mouth for you, and you will become as God to him. 17 And you shall take in your hand (Q)this staff, (R)with which you shall do the signs.”
Moses Returns to Egypt
18 Then Moses went and returned to [k]Jethro (S)his father-in-law and said to him, “Please, let me go, that I may return to my brothers who are in Egypt and see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.” 19 And Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for (T)all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” 20 So Moses took his wife and his (U)sons and mounted them on a donkey and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the (V)staff of God in his hand.
21 And Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go to return to Egypt, see to it that all (W)the miraculous wonders which I have put in your hand, that you do them before Pharaoh; but as for Me, (X)I will [l]harden his heart with strength so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “(Y)Israel is My son, My firstborn. 23 So I said to you, ‘(Z)Let My son go that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, (AA)I will kill your son, your firstborn.”’”
24 Now it happened at the lodging place on the way that Yahweh encountered him and (AB)sought to put him to death. 25 Then Zipporah took (AC)a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched [m]his feet with it, and she said, “You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me!” 26 So He let him alone. At that time she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood” with reference to the circumcision.
27 (AD)Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and encountered him at the (AE)mountain of God and kissed him. 28 (AF)And Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which He had sent him, and (AG)all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron went and (AH)gathered all the elders of the sons of Israel; 30 and (AI)Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses. He then did the (AJ)signs in the sight of the people. 31 So (AK)the people believed; and they heard that Yahweh [n](AL)cared about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction. So (AM)they bowed low and worshiped.

Sinugo ng Diyos si Moises
4 Itinanong ni Moises, “Anong gagawin ko kung hindi makinig sa akin ang mga Israelita at hindi maniwalang nagpakita kayo sa akin?”
2 “Ano iyang hawak mo?” tanong sa kanya ni Yahweh.
“Tungkod po,” sagot ni Moises.
3 “Ihagis mo sa lupa!” utos ni Yahweh. Inihagis nga ito ni Moises sa lupa at ito'y naging ahas, kaya't siya'y tumakbong palayo. 4 Sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, “Hawakan mo sa buntot ang ahas.” Hinawakan nga ni Moises at ito'y naging tungkod muli. 5 “Ganyan ang gagawin mo para maniwala silang nagpakita ako sa iyo, ang Diyos ng inyong mga ninuno, ang Diyos nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob,” sabi ni Yahweh.
6 “Ipasok mo ang iyong kamay sa damit mo, sa tapat ng iyong dibdib,” utos ni Yahweh. Gayon nga ang ginawa ni Moises at nang ilabas niya, ito'y nagkaroon ng sakit sa balat na parang ketong na kasimputi ng niyebe. 7 “Ipasok mo uli,” utos ni Yahweh at sumunod naman si Moises. Nang ilabas niyang muli ang kanyang kamay, nagbalik na ito sa dati. 8 Sinabi ng Diyos, “Kung ayaw ka pa nilang paniwalaan sa unang kababalaghan, malamang na paniniwalaan ka na nila sa ikalawa. 9 Kung ayaw pa rin nilang makinig sa iyo, kumuha ka ng tubig sa Ilog Nilo, ibuhos mo sa lupa at ang tubig na iyon ay magiging dugo.”
10 Sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Panginoon, sa mula't mula pa'y hindi po ako mahusay magsalita. Bagama't nangusap ka na sa akin, hanggang ngayo'y pautal-utal pa rin ako kung magsalita.”
11 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Sino ba ang gumagawa sa bibig ng tao? Sino ang may kapangyarihan para maging bingi o pipi ang isang tao? At sino rin ba ang nagbibigay ng paningin at nag-aalis nito? Hindi ba't akong si Yahweh? 12 Kaya nga, lumakad ka na at tutulungan kita sa pagsasalita at ituturo ko sa iyo ang iyong sasabihin.”
13 “Yahweh, maaari po bang iba na lang ang inyong suguin?” sagot ni Moises.
14 Dahil dito, nagalit si Yahweh kay Moises. Sinabi niya, “Hindi ba kapatid mo ang Levitang si Aaron? Alam kong mahusay siyang magsalita. Darating siya at makikipagkita sa iyo; matutuwa siya sa pagkikita ninyo. 15 Kausapin mo siya at sabihin mo ang lahat ng dapat niyang sabihin. Tutulungan ko kayo sa pagsasalita at ituturo ko sa inyo ang inyong dapat gawin. 16 Siya ang magiging tagapagsalita mo sa mga tao at ikaw ang magiging tagapagsalita ng Diyos na magsasabi naman sa kanya kung ano ang sasabihin niya. 17 Dalhin mo ang iyong tungkod sapagkat iyan ang gagamitin mo sa paggawa ng mga kababalaghan.”
Bumalik si Moises sa Egipto
18 Umuwi si Moises upang magpaalam sa biyenan niyang si Jetro. Sinabi niya, “Babalik po ako sa Egipto. Dadalawin ko po ang aking mga kamag-anak doon para malaman ko naman kung buháy pa sila.” Pumayag naman si Jetro.
19 Matapos magpaalam, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Magbalik ka na sa Egipto sapagkat patay nang lahat ang mga taong ibig pumatay sa iyo.” 20 Kaya, isinakay niya sa mga asno ang kanyang asawa't mga anak at naglakbay sila patungong Egipto; dala niya ang kanyang tungkod.
21 Sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, “Pagdating mo sa Egipto, gawin mo sa harapan ng Faraon ang mga kababalaghang ipinagagawa ko sa iyo. Binigyan kita ng kapangyarihang gawin ang mga ito. Ngunit patitigasin ko ang puso niya upang hindi niya payagang umalis ang mga tao. 22 Kung magkagayon, ganito ang sabihin mo sa kanya: ‘Ipinapasabi ni Yahweh, Ang Israel ay aking anak na panganay. 23 Payagan(A) mo siyang umalis para sumamba sa akin. Kapag hindi mo pinayagan, papatayin ko ang iyong panganay.’”
24 Isang gabi, samantalang namamahinga sina Moises sa kanilang paglalakbay patungong Egipto, nilapitan siya ni Yahweh at pinagtangkaang patayin. 25 Kaya't kumuha si Zipora ng isang matalim na bato at tinuli ang kanyang anak. Pagkatapos, ipinahid niya sa mga paa[a] ni Moises ang pinagtulian, saka sinabi, “Tunay ngang asawa na kita sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng pagtutuli.” 26 Dahil dito, hinayaan ni Yahweh na mabuhay pa si Moises. Kaya, sinabi ni Zipora kay Moises, “Naging asawa kita sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng pagtutuli.”
27 Samantala, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Aaron, “Salubungin mo sa ilang si Moises.” Sinalubong nga niya si Moises sa Bundok ng Diyos at hinagkan niya nang sila'y magkita. 28 Sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron ang lahat ng sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, pati ang mga kababalaghang ipinagagawa sa kanya. 29 At magkasama silang lumakad upang tipunin ang mga pinuno ng Israel. 30 Lahat ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises ay sinabi ni Aaron sa kanila. Pagkatapos, gumawa si Moises ng kababalaghan sa harapan nila 31 at naniwala ang buong bayan. Nang marinig nilang sila'y dinalaw ni Yahweh at hindi lingid sa kanya ang pang-aaping ginagawa sa kanila ng mga Egipcio, yumuko sila at sumamba kay Yahweh.
