出埃及 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚伦和摩西面见法老
7 耶和华对摩西说：“我要使你在法老面前像上帝一样，你哥哥亚伦是你的发言人。 2 你要把我吩咐你的话告诉你哥哥亚伦，由他要求法老让以色列人离开埃及。 3 可是，我要使法老的心刚硬，虽然我在埃及行许多神迹奇事， 4 他将无动于衷。那时，我必伸手重重地惩罚埃及，然后领我的大队子民离开埃及。 5 埃及人看见我伸手攻击他们、把以色列人带出埃及，就会知道我是耶和华。” 6 摩西和亚伦便遵命而行。 7 去见法老的时候，摩西八十岁，亚伦八十三岁。
8 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说： 9 “倘若法老要你们行神迹给他看，你就吩咐亚伦把手杖丢在法老面前，使杖变作蛇。”
10 摩西和亚伦照耶和华的吩咐来到法老面前。亚伦把手杖丢在法老和他的臣仆面前，杖就变作蛇。 11 法老召他的谋士和巫师前来，这些人是埃及的术士，他们也用邪术如法炮制。 12 各人将自己的手杖扔在地上，杖就变作蛇，但亚伦的杖吞噬了他们的杖。 13 法老却仍然硬着心，不肯听从摩西和亚伦，正如耶和华所言。
水变血之灾
14 耶和华对摩西说：“法老非常顽固，不肯释放百姓。 15 明天早晨，法老会去尼罗河边，你就在那里等他，要拿着曾变成蛇的手杖。 16 你要对他说，‘希伯来人的上帝耶和华差遣我来告诉你，要让祂的子民到旷野去事奉祂，但到如今你还是不肯。 17 所以祂说要用手杖击打尼罗河水，使河水变成血，好叫你知道祂是耶和华。 18 河里的鱼会死，河水会发臭，埃及人不能再喝尼罗河的水。’”
19 耶和华对摩西说：“你告诉亚伦，让他向埃及境内的各江河、溪流、池塘伸杖，使水变成血。埃及境内，包括木桶和石缸里将到处是血。” 20 摩西和亚伦就按着耶和华所吩咐的去做，亚伦在法老和埃及众臣仆面前举杖击打尼罗河水，河水都变成了血。 21 河里的鱼都死了，河水臭得不能饮用。埃及遍地都是血。 22 可是，法老的巫师也一样用邪术使水变成血。法老的心仍然刚硬，不肯听从摩西和亚伦的话，正如耶和华所言。 23 法老若无其事地转身回宫去了。 24 因为河水不能饮用，埃及人就在尼罗河两岸掘井取水饮用。
25 击打河水后，七天过去了。
出埃及记 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
7 耶和華對摩西說：“看哪，我使你在法老面前好像 神一樣；你哥哥亞倫要作你的先知。 2 我吩咐你的一切，你都要說；你哥哥亞倫要告訴法老，法老就讓以色列人離開他的地。 3 我要使法老心硬，我也要在埃及地加增我的神蹟奇事。 4 可是法老不聽你們的話，我必下手擊打埃及；藉著嚴厲的刑罰把我的軍隊，我的人民以色列人，從埃及地領出來。 5 我向埃及伸手，把以色列人從他們中間領出來的時候，埃及人就必知道我是耶和華。” 6 摩西和亞倫這樣行了；耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西和亞倫，他們就照樣行了。 7 摩西和亞倫與法老說話的時候，摩西八十歲，亞倫八十三歲。
以杖變蛇
8 耶和華告訴摩西和亞倫說： 9 “如果法老告訴你們說：‘你們行件奇事吧’，你就要對亞倫說：‘拿你的手杖來，把它丟在法老面前，它就會變作蛇。’” 10 摩西和亞倫就進到法老那裡，照著耶和華吩咐他們的行了；亞倫把手杖丟在法老和法老的臣僕面前，手杖就變了蛇。 11 於是，法老也把智慧人和行法術的人召了來；他們本是埃及的術士，也用他們的巫術照樣行了。 12 他們各人都丟下自己的手杖，手杖就變了蛇；亞倫的手杖卻吞了他們的手杖。 13 法老心裡剛硬，不肯聽他們的話，就像耶和華所說的一樣。
血災
14 耶和華對摩西說：“法老心裡固執，拒絕讓人民離去。 15 明天早晨你要到法老那裡去。看哪，法老出來到水邊去的時候，你要站在河邊迎見他；那變過蛇的手杖，你要拿在手裡。 16 你要對法老說：‘耶和華希伯來人的 神差我到你這裡來，說：“讓我的人民離開這裡，好使他們可以在曠野事奉我”，你看，直到現在你還是不聽。 17 耶和華這樣說：“看哪，我要用我手裡的杖擊打河中的水，水就必變成血；因此你就知道我是耶和華。 18 河中的魚必死亡，河水也必發臭，埃及人就必厭惡喝這河裡的水。”’” 19 耶和華對摩西說：“你要對亞倫說：‘拿你的手杖來，把你的手伸在埃及的眾水之上，就是在他們的江、河、池和所有水塘之上，使水都變成血。因此，在埃及全地，連木器石器中都必有血。’”
20 摩西和亞倫就這樣行了，就像耶和華所吩咐的；亞倫在法老面前和法老的臣僕面前舉起手杖，擊打河裡的水，河裡的水就都變了血。 21 河裡的魚死了，河水發臭了，埃及人也不能喝這河裡的水了；在埃及，全地都有血。 22 埃及的術士也用他們的巫術這樣行了；可是法老卻心裡剛硬，不肯聽摩西和亞倫，就像耶和華所說的。 23 法老轉身回到宮裡去，也不把這事放在心上。 24 所有的埃及人都在河的周圍掘地，要得水喝，因為他們不能喝這河裡的水。
25 耶和華擊打尼羅河以後，滿了七天。
Exodus 7
Living Bible
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have appointed you as my ambassador to Pharaoh, and your brother, Aaron, shall be your spokesman. 2 Tell Aaron everything I say to you, and he will announce it to Pharaoh, demanding that the people of Israel be allowed to leave Egypt. 3 But I will cause Pharaoh to stubbornly refuse, and I will multiply my miracles in the land of Egypt. 4 Yet even then Pharaoh won’t listen to you; so I will crush Egypt with a final major disaster and then lead my people out. 5 The Egyptians will find out that I am indeed God when I show them my power and force them to let my people go.”
6 So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three at this time of their confrontation with Pharaoh.
8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “Pharaoh will demand that you show him a miracle to prove that God has sent you; when he does, Aaron is to throw down his rod, and it will become a serpent.”
10 So Moses and Aaron went in to see Pharaoh, and performed the miracle, as Jehovah had instructed them—Aaron threw down his rod before Pharaoh and his court, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh called in his sorcerers—the magicians of Egypt—and they were able to do the same thing with their magical arts! 12 Their rods became serpents, too! But Aaron’s serpent swallowed their serpents! 13 Pharaoh’s heart was still hard and stubborn, and he wouldn’t listen, just as the Lord had predicted. 14 The Lord pointed this out to Moses, that Pharaoh’s heart had been unmoved, and that he would continue to refuse to let the people go.
15 “Nevertheless,” the Lord said, “go back to Pharaoh in the morning, to be there as he goes down to the river. Stand beside the riverbank and meet him there, holding in your hand the rod that turned into a serpent. 16 Say to him, ‘Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me back to demand that you let his people go to worship him in the wilderness. You wouldn’t listen before, 17 and now the Lord says this: “You are going to find out that I am God. For I have instructed Moses to hit the water of the Nile with his rod, and the river will turn to blood! 18 The fish will die and the river will stink, so that the Egyptians will be unwilling to drink it.”’”
19 Then the Lord instructed Moses: “Tell Aaron to point his rod toward the waters of Egypt: all its rivers, canals, marshes, and reservoirs, and even the water stored in bowls and pots in the homes will turn to blood.”
20 So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. As Pharaoh and all of his officials watched, Aaron hit the surface of the Nile with the rod, and the river turned to blood. 21 The fish died and the water became so foul that the Egyptians couldn’t drink it; and there was blood throughout the land of Egypt. 22 But then the magicians of Egypt used their secret arts and they, too, turned water into blood; so Pharaoh’s heart remained hard and stubborn, and he wouldn’t listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted, 23 and he returned to his palace, unimpressed. 24 Then the Egyptians dug wells along the riverbank to get drinking water, for they couldn’t drink from the river.
25 A week went by.
