出埃及記 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
亞倫和摩西面見法老
7 耶和華對摩西說：「我要使你在法老面前像上帝一樣，你哥哥亞倫是你的發言人。 2 你要把我吩咐你的話告訴你哥哥亞倫，由他要求法老讓以色列人離開埃及。 3 可是，我要使法老的心剛硬，雖然我在埃及行許多神蹟奇事， 4 他將無動於衷。那時，我必伸手重重地懲罰埃及，然後領我的大隊子民離開埃及。 5 埃及人看見我伸手攻擊他們、把以色列人帶出埃及，就會知道我是耶和華。」 6 摩西和亞倫便遵命而行。 7 去見法老的時候，摩西八十歲，亞倫八十三歲。
8 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 9 「倘若法老要你們行神蹟給他看，你就吩咐亞倫把手杖丟在法老面前，使杖變作蛇。」
10 摩西和亞倫照耶和華的吩咐來到法老面前。亞倫把手杖丟在法老和他的臣僕面前，杖就變作蛇。 11 法老召他的謀士和巫師前來，這些人是埃及的術士，他們也用邪術如法炮製。 12 各人將自己的手杖扔在地上，杖就變作蛇，但亞倫的杖吞噬了他們的杖。 13 法老卻仍然硬著心，不肯聽從摩西和亞倫，正如耶和華所言。
水變血之災
14 耶和華對摩西說：「法老非常頑固，不肯釋放百姓。 15 明天早晨，法老會去尼羅河邊，你就在那裡等他，要拿著曾變成蛇的手杖。 16 你要對他說，『希伯來人的上帝耶和華差遣我來告訴你，要讓祂的子民到曠野去事奉祂，但到如今你還是不肯。 17 所以祂說要用手杖擊打尼羅河水，使河水變成血，好叫你知道祂是耶和華。 18 河裡的魚會死，河水會發臭，埃及人不能再喝尼羅河的水。』」
19 耶和華對摩西說：「你告訴亞倫，讓他向埃及境內的各江河、溪流、池塘伸杖，使水變成血。埃及境內，包括木桶和石缸裡將到處是血。」 20 摩西和亞倫就按著耶和華所吩咐的去做，亞倫在法老和埃及眾臣僕面前舉杖擊打尼羅河水，河水都變成了血。 21 河裡的魚都死了，河水臭得不能飲用。埃及遍地都是血。 22 可是，法老的巫師也一樣用邪術使水變成血。法老的心仍然剛硬，不肯聽從摩西和亞倫的話，正如耶和華所言。 23 法老若無其事地轉身回宮去了。 24 因為河水不能飲用，埃及人就在尼羅河兩岸掘井取水飲用。
25 擊打河水後，七天過去了。
出埃及 7
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
7 耶和华对摩西说：“看哪，我使你在法老面前好象 神一样；你哥哥亚伦要作你的先知。 2 我吩咐你的一切，你都要说；你哥哥亚伦要告诉法老，法老就让以色列人离开他的地。 3 我要使法老心硬，我也要在埃及地加增我的神迹奇事。 4 可是法老不听你们的话，我必下手击打埃及；借着严厉的刑罚把我的军队，我的人民以色列人，从埃及地领出来。 5 我向埃及伸手，把以色列人从他们中间领出来的时候，埃及人就必知道我是耶和华。” 6 摩西和亚伦这样行了；耶和华怎样吩咐摩西和亚伦，他们就照样行了。 7 摩西和亚伦与法老说话的时候，摩西八十岁，亚伦八十三岁。
以杖变蛇
8 耶和华告诉摩西和亚伦说： 9 “如果法老告诉你们说：‘你们行件奇事吧’，你就要对亚伦说：‘拿你的手杖来，把它丢在法老面前，它就会变作蛇。’” 10 摩西和亚伦就进到法老那里，照着耶和华吩咐他们的行了；亚伦把手杖丢在法老和法老的臣仆面前，手杖就变了蛇。 11 于是，法老也把智慧人和行法术的人召了来；他们本是埃及的术士，也用他们的巫术照样行了。 12 他们各人都丢下自己的手杖，手杖就变了蛇；亚伦的手杖却吞了他们的手杖。 13 法老心里刚硬，不肯听他们的话，就像耶和华所说的一样。
血灾
14 耶和华对摩西说：“法老心里固执，拒绝让人民离去。 15 明天早晨你要到法老那里去。看哪，法老出来到水边去的时候，你要站在河边迎见他；那变过蛇的手杖，你要拿在手里。 16 你要对法老说：‘耶和华希伯来人的 神差我到你这里来，说：“让我的人民离开这里，好使他们可以在旷野事奉我”，你看，直到现在你还是不听。 17 耶和华这样说：“看哪，我要用我手里的杖击打河中的水，水就必变成血；因此你就知道我是耶和华。 18 河中的鱼必死亡，河水也必发臭，埃及人就必厌恶喝这河里的水。”’” 19 耶和华对摩西说：“你要对亚伦说：‘拿你的手杖来，把你的手伸在埃及的众水之上，就是在他们的江、河、池和所有水塘之上，使水都变成血。因此，在埃及全地，连木器石器中都必有血。’”
20 摩西和亚伦就这样行了，就像耶和华所吩咐的；亚伦在法老面前和法老的臣仆面前举起手杖，击打河里的水，河里的水就都变了血。 21 河里的鱼死了，河水发臭了，埃及人也不能喝这河里的水了；在埃及，全地都有血。 22 埃及的术士也用他们的巫术这样行了；可是法老却心里刚硬，不肯听摩西和亚伦，就像耶和华所说的。 23 法老转身回到宫里去，也不把这事放在心上。 24 所有的埃及人都在河的周围掘地，要得水喝，因为他们不能喝这河里的水。
25 耶和华击打尼罗河以后，满了七天。
Exodus 7
Expanded Bible
7 The Lord said to Moses, “I have made you ·like God [L God] to ·the king of Egypt [L Pharaoh], and your brother Aaron will be like a prophet for you [C just as God would speak to people through prophets so Moses would speak to Pharaoh through Aaron]. 2 Tell Aaron your brother everything that I command you, and let him tell ·the king of Egypt [L Pharaoh] to let the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel] leave his ·country [land]. 3 But I will ·make the king stubborn [L harden the heart of Pharaoh]. I will ·do many miracles [L multiply my signs and wonders] in Egypt, 4 but ·he will still refuse to listen [L Pharaoh will not listen to you]. So then I will ·punish Egypt terribly [L place my hand on Egypt with great judgments], and I will lead my ·divisions [hosts; companies; 6:26], my people the Israelites, out of ·that land [L the land of Egypt]. 5 I will ·punish Egypt with my power [L extend my hand against Egypt], and I will bring the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel] ·out of that land [L from their midst]. Then the Egyptians will know I am the Lord.”
6 Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to ·the king [L Pharaoh].
Aaron’s Walking Stick Becomes a Snake
8 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “Moses, when ·the king [L Pharaoh] asks you to do a ·miracle [wonder], tell Aaron to [L take and] throw his ·walking stick [staff] down in front of ·the king [L Pharaoh], and it will become a ·snake [serpent; 4:3–5; C symbols of dangerous power in Egypt; Pharaoh’s headdress had a serpent at its crest].”
10 So Moses and Aaron went to ·the king [L Pharaoh] as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw his ·walking stick [staff] down in front of ·the king [L Pharaoh] and his officers, and it became a ·snake [serpent].
11 So ·the king [L Pharaoh] called in his wise men and his ·magicians [sorcerers], and with their ·tricks [magic arts] the Egyptian magicians were able to do the same thing [C showing that they had spiritual powers supporting them]. 12 They threw their ·walking sticks [staffs] on the ground, and their ·sticks [staffs] became snakes. But Aaron’s ·stick [staff] swallowed theirs [C showing God’s power was superior]. 13 Still the king ·was stubborn [L hardened his heart] and refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said.
The Water Becomes Blood
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “·The king is being stubborn [L Pharaoh’s heart is hard/heavy] and refuses to let the people go. 15 In the morning ·the king [L Pharaoh] will go out to the ·Nile River [L water]. Go meet him by the edge of the ·river [L Nile], and take with you the ·walking stick [staff] that became a ·snake [serpent]. 16 Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you. He said, ‘Let my people go ·worship [serve] me in the ·desert [wilderness].’ Until now you have not listened. 17 This is what the Lord says: ‘This is how you will know that I am the Lord. I will strike the water of the Nile River with this ·stick [staff] in my hand, and the water will change into blood. 18 Then the fish in the Nile will die, and the river will begin to stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink the water from the Nile.’”
19 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron: ‘Take the ·walking stick [staff] in your hand and stretch your hand over the rivers, canals, ponds, and pools in Egypt.’ The water will become blood everywhere in Egypt, both in wooden buckets and in stone jars.”
20 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded. In front of ·the king [L Pharaoh] and his officers, Aaron raised his ·walking stick [staff] and struck the water in the Nile River. So all the water in the Nile changed into blood. 21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river began to stink, so the Egyptians could not drink water from it. Blood was everywhere in the land of Egypt.
22 Using their ·tricks [magic arts], the ·magicians [sorcerers] of Egypt did the same thing. So the ·king was stubborn [L heart of Pharaoh was hardened] and refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said. 23 ·The king [L Pharaoh] turned and went into his ·palace [house] and ·ignored what Moses and Aaron had done [L did not take this to heart]. 24 The Egyptians could not drink the water from the Nile, so all of them dug along the bank of the river, looking for water to drink.
The Frogs
25 Seven days passed after the Lord ·changed [L struck] the Nile River.
