 神向摩西顯現

那時,摩西正在牧放他岳父米甸祭司葉忒羅的羊群。有一次,他把羊群領到曠野的盡頭去,到了 神的山,就是何烈山。 耶和華的使者從荊棘叢裡的火燄中向摩西顯現。摩西觀看,看見荊棘被火燒著,卻沒有燒毀。 摩西說:“我要到那邊去,看看這大異象,這荊棘為甚麼燒不掉?” 耶和華見摩西要到那邊去觀看, 神就從荊棘叢裡呼叫他,說:“摩西,摩西。”摩西說:“我在這裡。” 耶和華說:“不可過到這裡來;要把你腳上的鞋脫掉,因為你所站的地方是聖地。” 又說:“我是你父親的 神、亞伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神。”摩西因為怕見 神,就把自己的臉蒙住了。

摩西的使命

耶和華說:“我的子民在埃及所受的痛苦,我實在看見了;他們因受督工的轄制所發的呼聲,我也聽見了;他們的痛苦,我是知道的。 所以我下來,要救他們脫離埃及人的手,領他們脫離那地,到美好寬闊之地,到流奶與蜜之地,就是到迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的地方。 現在以色列人的呼聲已經達到我的面前,我也看見了埃及人對他們所施的壓迫。 10 所以現在你來,我要派你到法老那裡去,使你可以把我的人民以色列人從埃及領出來。” 11 摩西對 神說:“我是誰,竟能到法老那裡去,把以色列人從埃及領出來呢?” 12  神回答:“我必與你同在;你把人民從埃及領出來的時候,你們要在這山上事奉 神;這就是我派你去的憑據。”

13 摩西對 神說:“我到以色列人那裡,對他們說:‘你們祖宗的 神差遣我到你們這裡來’,他們必問我:‘他叫甚麼名字?’我要對他們說甚麼呢?” 14  神回答摩西:“我是‘自有永有者’。”又說:“你要對以色列人這樣說:‘那自有者派我到你們這裡來。’” 15  神又對摩西說:“你要對以色列人這樣說:‘耶和華你們祖宗的 神,就是亞伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神,差遣我到你們這裡來;這就是我永久的名字,也是世世代代中我被記念的名字。’ 16 你去召集以色列的長老,對他們說:‘耶和華你們祖宗的 神,就是亞伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神,向我顯現,說:“我實在眷顧了你們,和鑒察了你們在埃及所遭遇的。” 17 我也曾說:“我要把你們從埃及的痛苦中領出來,到迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人之地去,就是到流奶與蜜之地去。”’ 18 他們必聽你的話;你和以色列的長老要到埃及王那裡去,對他說:‘耶和華希伯來人的 神遇見了我們。現在求你讓我們走三天的路程到曠野去,好獻祭給耶和華我們的 神。’ 19 我也知道,如果不施行大能的手(“如果不施行大能的手”或譯:“雖然施行大能的手”),埃及王決不會讓你們走的。 20 因此,我要伸手,用我在埃及快要施行的一切異能,擊打埃及;然後他才會讓你們離去。 21 我必叫這民在埃及人的眼前蒙恩。因此你們離去的時候,就不至於空手而去。 22 但每個婦女要向她鄰居的婦女,和寄居在她家中的婦女索取銀器、金器和衣服,要給你們的兒女穿戴;這樣,你們就把埃及人的財物掠奪了。”

Ang Pagtawag kang Moises

Usa ka adlaw, nagbantay si Moises sa kahayopan sa iyang ugangan nga si Jetro[a] nga pari sa Midian. Gidala ni Moises ang kahayopan unahan sa kamingawan ug nakaabot siya sa Horeb,[b] ang bukid sa Dios. Nagpakita kaniya didto ang anghel sa Ginoo sa dagway sa nagadilaab nga kalayo diha sa sampinit. Nakita ni Moises nga nagadilaab ang sampinit apan wala kini masunog. Miingon siya, “Katingalahan! Nganong wala man masunog kana nga sampinit? Ako ra gud duolon ug susihon.”

Pagkakita sa Ginoo nga miduol si Moises aron sa pagtan-aw, miingon siya gikan sa taliwala sa tanom, “Moises, Moises!” Mitubag si Moises, “Unsa man.” Miingon ang Ginoo, “Ayaw na pagduol pa. Huboa ang imong sandalyas, kay balaan ang lugar nga imong ginatindogan. Ako ang Dios sa imong mga katigulangan, ang Dios ni Abraham, Isaac, ug Jacob.” Sa pagkadungog niini ni Moises, gitabonan niya ang iyang nawong, kay nahadlok siya nga motan-aw sa Dios.

Unya miingon ang Ginoo, “Nakita ko gayod ang pag-antos sa akong katawhan didto sa Ehipto. Nadungog ko ang ilang pagpakitabang tungod sa mga tawo nga nagapugos kanila sa pagtrabaho ug bug-at, ug nalooy gayod ako kanila tungod sa ilang mga pag-antos. Busa minaog ako sa pagluwas kanila gikan sa kamot sa mga Ehiptohanon, ug sa pagdala kanila ngadto sa maayo, lapad, ug mabungahon nga yuta,[c] nga ginapuy-an karon sa mga Canaanhon, Hitihanon, Amorihanon, Perisihanon, Hibihanon, ug mga Jebusihanon. Nadungog ko ang pagpakitabang sa mga Israelinhon ug nakita ko kon giunsa sila paglutos sa mga Ehiptohanon. 10 Busa ipadala ko ikaw sa hari sa Ehipto sa pagpagawas sa akong katawhan nga mga Israelinhon gikan sa Ehipto.”

11 Apan miingon si Moises sa Dios, “Si kinsa man ko nga moadto sa hari ug mopagawas sa mga Israelinhon gikan sa Ehipto?” 12 Miingon ang Dios, “Magauban ako kanimo, ug mao kini ang mahimong timailhan nga ako ang nagpadala kanimo: Kon mapagawas mo na ang mga Israelinhon gikan sa Ehipto, magasimba kamo kanako dinhi niining bukira.”

13 Miingon si Moises sa Dios, “Pananglit moadto ako sa mga Israelinhon ug ingnon ko sila nga ang Dios sa ilang mga katigulangan nagpadala kanako sa pagluwas kanila, unya mangutana sila kanako, ‘Kinsay iyang ngalan?’ Unsa may akong itubag kanila?”

14 Mitubag ang Dios kang Moises, “Ako ang Dios nga mao sa gihapon.[d] Mao kini ang imong itubag kanila: ‘Ang Dios nga mao sa gihapon mao ang nagpadala kanako nganhi kaninyo.’ ” 15 Miingon pa gayod ang Dios kang Moises, “Isulti kini sa mga Israelinhon: ‘Ang Ginoo,[e] ang Dios sa inyong mga katigulangan nga si Abraham, Isaac, ug Jacob mao ang nagpadala kanako nganhi kaninyo. Ginoo ang akong ngalan ug pagailhon ako sa mao nga ngalan hangtod sa hangtod.’ ”

16 Unya miingon ang Ginoo kang Moises, “Lakaw ug tigoma ang mga tigdumala sa Israel ug sultihi sila, ‘Ang Ginoo, ang Dios sa inyong mga katigulangan nga si Abraham, Isaac, ug Jacob nagpakita kanako, ug miingon: Ginabantayan ko gayod kamo, ug nakita ko ang ginahimo sa mga Ehiptohanon kaninyo. 17 Nagasaad ako nga pagawason ko kamo gikan sa Ehipto diin nagaantos kamo, ug dalhon ngadto sa yuta sa mga Canaanhon, Hitihanon, Amorihanon, Perisihanon, Hibihanon, ug mga Jebusihanon—ang maayo ug mabungahon nga yuta.’

18 “Maminaw kanimo ang mga tigdumala sa Israel. Ug unya, ikaw ug ang mga tigdumala moadto sa hari sa Ehipto ug moingon kaniya, ‘Nagpakita kanamo ang Ginoo, ang Dios sa mga Hebreohanon. Busa kon mahimo tugoti kami sa paglakaw ug tulo ka adlaw ngadto sa kamingawan sa paghalad ngadto sa Ginoo nga among Dios.’ 19 Apan nasayod ako nga dili kamo tugotan sa hari sa Ehipto gawas lang kon may magpugos kaniya. 20 Busa silotan ko ang mga Ehiptohanon pinaagi sa mga milagro nga akong himuon taliwala kanila. Pagkahuman, tugotan na niya kamo sa paglakaw. 21 Ug sigurohon ko nga magminaayo kaninyo ang mga Ehiptohanon, aron iniglakaw na ninyo pabalonan pa nila kamo. 22 Ang matag babaye nga Israelinhon mangayo ug mga alahas nga plata ug bulawan ug mga bisti sa ilang silingan nga mga Ehiptohanon ug sa mga dumuduong didto sa Ehipto, ug ipasul-ob ninyo kini sa inyong mga anak. Niining paagiha, makuhaan ninyo ug mga kabtangan ang mga Ehiptohanon.”

Moses and the Burning Bush

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro(A) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,(B) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,(C) the mountain(D) of God. There the angel of the Lord(E) appeared to him in flames of fire(F) from within a bush.(G) Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called(H) to him from within the bush,(I) “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”(J)

“Do not come any closer,”(K) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”(L) Then he said, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”(M) At this, Moses hid(N) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.(O)

The Lord said, “I have indeed seen(P) the misery(Q) of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned(R) about their suffering.(S) So I have come down(T) to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(U) a land flowing with milk and honey(V)—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites(W) and Jebusites.(X) And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(Y) them. 10 So now, go. I am sending(Z) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”(AA)

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I(AB) that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 And God said, “I will be with you.(AC) And this will be the sign(AD) to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[b] will worship God on this mountain.(AE)

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’(AF) Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am(AG) has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers(AH)—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob(AI)—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name(AJ) forever,
    the name you shall call me
    from generation to generation.(AK)

16 “Go, assemble the elders(AL) of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(AM)—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen(AN) what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt(AO) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’(AP)

18 “The elders of Israel will listen(AQ) to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews,(AR) has met(AS) with us. Let us take a three-day journey(AT) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(AU) to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand(AV) compels him. 20 So I will stretch out my hand(AW) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders(AX) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.(AY)

21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed(AZ) toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.(BA) 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver(BB) and gold(BC) and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder(BD) the Egyptians.”(BE)

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.

19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.

22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
