摩西诞生

有一个利未家的人去娶了一个利未女子为妻。 那女人怀孕,生了一个儿子;见他俊美,就把他藏了三个月。 直到她不能把他再藏了,就拿一个蒲草箱来,涂上沥青和石漆;把孩子放在里面,把箱子放在河边的芦苇丛中。 孩子的姊姊远远地站着,要知道孩子究竟怎样。 那时,法老的女儿下到河边去洗澡;她的使女们在河边行走;她看见了在芦苇中的箱子,就打发自己的使女去把箱子拿过来。

她打开了,就看见那孩子;看哪,孩子哭了,她就怜悯他,说:“这是希伯来人的一个孩子。” 孩子的姊姊对法老的女儿说:“我去从希伯来妇人中给你请一个奶妈来,为你乳养这个孩子可以吗?” 法老的女儿回答:“你去吧。”童女就去把孩子的母亲请了来。 法老的女儿对她说:“你把这孩子抱去,替我乳养他,我必给你工钱。”妇人就抱了孩子去乳养他。 10 孩子长大了,妇人把他带到法老的女儿那里,他就作了法老女儿的儿子。她给孩子起名叫摩西,说:“因为我把他从水里拉出来。”

摩西逃往米甸

11 过了些日子,摩西长大了,有一次,他出去到他的同胞那里去,看见他们的重担,又看见一个埃及人打他的一个同胞希伯来人。 12 摩西左右观望,见没有人,就把那埃及人击杀了,埋藏在沙土里。 13 第二天他又出去,看见两个希伯来人彼此争斗着,就对那欺负人的说:“你为甚么打你同族的人呢?” 14 那人回答:“谁立了你作我们的领袖和审判官呢?难道你想杀我,好象杀那个埃及人一样吗?”摩西就惧怕起来,心里想:“这事必定给人知道了!”

15 法老听见这事,就设法要杀摩西;摩西躲避法老,就往米甸地去居住;有一天他坐在井旁。 16 米甸的祭司有七个女儿,她们来打水,打满了水槽,要给父亲的羊群喝。 17 有些牧人来了,把她们赶走;摩西却起来,救了她们,也给她们的羊群喝水。 18 她们回到父亲流珥那里,父亲问:“今天你们为甚么赶着回来呢?” 19 她们说:“有一个埃及人救我们脱离了牧羊人的手,而且还为我们打水给羊群喝。” 20 父亲对众女儿说:“他在哪里?你们为甚么撇下那人呢?去请他来吃饭。” 21 摩西乐意和那人同住;那人把自己的女儿西坡拉给了摩西作妻子。 22 西坡拉生了一个儿子,摩西给他起名叫革舜,因为他说:“我在异地作了客旅。”

23 过了很久,埃及王死了。以色列人在捆锁中叹息,他们就呼求,在捆锁中的呼求达到 神那里。 24  神听见他们的呼声,就记念他与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的约。 25  神看顾以色列人,也关注他们。

The Birth of Moses

Now a man of the tribe of Levi(A) married a Levite woman,(B) and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine(C) child, she hid him for three months.(D) But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus(E) basket[a] for him and coated it with tar and pitch.(F) Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds(G) along the bank of the Nile. His sister(H) stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank.(I) She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

“Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named(J) him Moses,[b] saying, “I drew(K) him out of the water.”

Moses Flees to Midian

11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people(L) were and watched them at their hard labor.(M) He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”(N)

14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us?(O) Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”

15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill(P) Moses, but Moses fled(Q) from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian,(R) where he sat down by a well. 16 Now a priest of Midian(S) had seven daughters, and they came to draw water(T) and fill the troughs(U) to water their father’s flock. 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue(V) and watered their flock.(W)

18 When the girls returned to Reuel(X) their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20 “And where is he?” Reuel asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”(Y)

21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah(Z) to Moses in marriage. 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom,[c](AA) saying, “I have become a foreigner(AB) in a foreign land.”

23 During that long period,(AC) the king of Egypt died.(AD) The Israelites groaned in their slavery(AE) and cried out, and their cry(AF) for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered(AG) his covenant(AH) with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned(AI) about them.
