旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)11-20章
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 11 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
11:1 耶和华对摩西说，我再使一样的灾殃临到法老和埃及，然后他必容你们离开这地。他容你们去的时候，总要催逼你们都从这地出去。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
11:2 你要传于百姓的耳中，叫他们男女各人向邻舍要金器银器。
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
11:3 耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，并且摩西在埃及地，法老臣仆，和百姓的眼中看为极大。
And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
11:4 摩西说，耶和华这样说，约到半夜，我必出去巡行埃及遍地。
And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
11:5 凡在埃及地，从坐宝座的法老直到磨子后的婢女所有的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，都必死。
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 埃及遍地必有大哀号，从前没有这样的，后来也必没有。
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
11:7 至于以色列中，无论是人是牲畜，连狗也不敢向他们摇舌，好叫你们知道耶和华是将埃及人和以色列人分别出来。
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8 你这一切臣仆都要俯伏来见我，说，求你和跟从你的百姓都出去，然后我要出去。于是，摩西气忿忿地离开法老，出去了。
And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
11:9 耶和华对摩西说，法老必不听你们，使我的奇事在埃及地多起来。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10 摩西，亚伦在法老面前行了这一切奇事，耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人出离他的地。
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 12 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
12:1 耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西，亚伦说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
12:2 你们要以本月为正月，为一年之首。
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
12:3 你们吩咐以色列全会众说，本月初十日，各人要按着父家取羊羔，一家一只。
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
12:4 若是一家的人太少，吃不了一只羊羔，本人就要和他隔壁的邻舍共取一只。你们预备羊羔，要按着人数和饭量计算。
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
12:5 要无残疾，一岁的公羊羔，你们或从绵羊里取，或从山羊里取，都可以。
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
12:6 要留到本月十四日，在黄昏的时候，以色列全会众把羊羔宰了。
And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
12:7 各家要取点血，涂在吃羊羔的房屋左右的门框上和门楣上。
And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
12:8 当夜要吃羊羔的肉，用火烤了，与无酵饼和苦菜同吃。
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
12:9 不可吃生的，断不可吃水煮的，要带着头，腿，五脏，用火烤了吃。
Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
12:10 不可剩下一点留到早晨，若留到早晨，要用火烧了。
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
12:11 你们吃羊羔当腰间束带，脚上穿鞋，手中拿杖，赶紧地吃，这是耶和华的逾越节。
And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
12:12 因为那夜我要巡行埃及地，把埃及地一切头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都击杀了，又要败坏埃及一切的神。我是耶和华。
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
12:13 这血要在你们所住的房屋上作记号，我一见这血，就越过你们去。我击杀埃及地头生的时候，灾殃必不临到你们身上灭你们。
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
12:14 你们要记念这日，守为耶和华的节，作为你们世世代代永远的定例。
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
12:15 你们要吃无酵饼七日。头一日要把酵从你们各家中除去，因为从头一日起，到第七日为止，凡吃有酵之饼的，必从以色列中剪除。
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
12:16 头一日你们当有圣会，第七日也当有圣会。这两日之内，除了预备各人所要吃的以外，无论何工都不可作。
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
12:17 你们要守无酵节，因为我正当这日把你们的军队从埃及地领出来。所以，你们要守这日，作为世世代代永远的定例。
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
12:18 从正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你们要吃无酵饼。
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
12:19 在你们各家中，七日之内不可有酵，因为凡吃有酵之物的，无论是寄居的，是本地的，必从以色列的会中剪除。
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
12:20 有酵的物，你们都不可吃，在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼。
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
12:21 于是，摩西召了以色列的众长老来，对他们说，你们要按着家口取出羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰了。
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
12:22 拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆里的血，打在门楣上和左右的门框上。你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
12:23 因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人，他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上，就必越过那门，不容灭命的进你们的房屋，击杀你们。
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
12:24 这例，你们要守着，作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例。
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
12:25 日后，你们到了耶和华按着所应许赐给你们的那地，就要守这礼。
And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
12:26 你们的儿女问你们说，行这礼是什么意思。
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
12:27 你们就说，这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭。当以色列人在埃及的时候，他击杀埃及人，越过以色列人的房屋，救了我们各家。于是百姓低头下拜。
That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
12:28 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
12:29 到了半夜，耶和华把埃及地所有的长子，就是从坐宝座的法老，直到被掳囚在监里之人的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，尽都杀了。
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
12:30 法老和一切臣仆，并埃及众人，夜间都起来了。在埃及有大哀号，无一家不死一个人的。
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
12:31 夜间，法老召了摩西，亚伦来，说，起来，连你们带以色列人，从我民中出去，依你们所说的，去事奉耶和华吧。
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
12:32 也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧，并要为我祝福。
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
12:33 埃及人催促百姓，打发他们快快出离那地，因为埃及人说，我们都要死了。
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
12:34 百姓就拿着没有酵的生面，把抟面盆包在衣服中，扛在肩头上。
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
12:35 以色列人照着摩西的话行，向埃及人要金器，银器，和衣裳。
And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
12:36 耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人给他们所要的。他们就把埃及人的财物夺去了。
And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
12:37 以色列人从兰塞起行，往疏割去，除了妇人孩子，步行的男人约有六十万。
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
12:38 又有许多闲杂人，并有羊群牛群，和他们一同上去。
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
12:39 他们用埃及带出来的生面烤成无酵饼。这生面原没有发起，因为他们被催逼离开埃及，不能耽延，也没有为自己预备什么食物。
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
12:40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 正满了四百三十年的那一天，耶和华的军队都从埃及地出来了。
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
12:42 这夜是耶和华的夜，因耶和华领他们出了埃及地，所以当向耶和华谨守，是以色列众人世世代代该谨守的。
It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
12:43 耶和华对摩西，亚伦说，逾越节的例是这样，外邦人都不可吃这羊羔。
And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
12:44 但各人用银子买的奴仆，既受了割礼就可以吃。
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof
12:45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
12:46 应当在一个房子里吃，不可把一点肉从房子里带到外头去。羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
12:47 以色列全会众都要守这礼。
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
12:48 若有外人寄居在你们中间，愿向耶和华守逾越节，他所有的男子务要受割礼，然后才容他前来遵守，他也就像本地人一样，但未受割礼的，都不可吃这羊羔。
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
12:49 本地人和寄居在你们中间的外人同归一例。
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
12:50 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，亚伦，以色列众人就怎样行了。
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
12:51 正当那日，耶和华将以色列人按着他们的军队，从埃及地领出来。
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 13 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
13:1 耶和华晓谕摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 以色列中凡头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都是我的，要分别为圣归我。
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
13:3 摩西对百姓说，你们要记念从埃及为奴之家出来的这日，因为耶和华用大能的手将你们从这地方领出来。有酵的饼都不可吃。
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
13:4 亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子。
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
13:5 将来耶和华领你进迦南人，赫人，亚摩利人，希未人，耶布斯人之地，就是他向你的祖宗起誓应许给你那流奶与蜜之地，那时你要在这月间守这礼。
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
13:6 你要吃无酵饼七日，到第七日要向耶和华守节。
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
13:7 这七日之久，要吃无酵饼，在你四境之内不可见有酵的饼，也不可见发酵的物。
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
13:8 当那日，你要告诉你的儿子说，这是因耶和华在我出埃及的时候为我所行的事。
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
13:9 这要在你手上作记号，在你额上作纪念，使耶和华的律法常在你口中，因为耶和华曾用大能的手将你从埃及领出来。
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
13:10 所以你每年要按着日期守这例。
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
13:11 将来，耶和华照他向你和你祖宗所起的誓将你领进迦南人之地，把这地赐给你，
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
13:12 那时你要将一切头生的，并牲畜中头生的，归给耶和华，公的都要属耶和华。
That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
13:13 凡头生的驴，你要用羊羔代赎，若不代赎，就要打折它的颈项。凡你儿子中头生的都要赎出来。
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
13:14 日后，你的儿子问你说，这是什么意思。你就说，耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及为奴之家领出来。
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
13:15 那时法老几乎不容我们去，耶和华就把埃及地所有头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都杀了。因此，我把一切头生的公牲畜献给耶和华为祭，但将头生的儿子都赎出来。
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
13:16 这要在你手上作记号，在你额上作经文，因为耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来。
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
13:17 法老容百姓去的时候，非利士地的道路虽近，神却不领他们从那里走，因为神说，恐怕百姓遇见打仗后悔，就回埃及去。
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
13:18 所以神领百姓绕道而行，走红海旷野的路。以色列人出埃及地，都带着兵器上去。
But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
13:19 摩西把约瑟的骸骨一同带去，因为约瑟曾叫以色列人严严地起誓，对他们说，神必眷顾你们，你们要把我的骸骨从这里一同带上去。
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
13:20 他们从疏割起行，在旷野边的以倘安营。
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
13:21 日间，耶和华在云柱中领他们的路，夜间，在火柱中光照他们，使他们日夜都可以行走。
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
13:22 日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 14 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
14:1 耶和华晓谕摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14:2 你吩咐以色列人转回，安营在比哈希录前，密夺和海的中间，对着巴力洗分，靠近海边安营。
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
14:3 法老必说，以色列人在地中绕迷了，旷野把他们困住了。
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
14:4 我要使法老的心刚硬，他要追赶他们，我便在法老和他全军身上得荣耀，埃及人就知道我是耶和华。于是以色列人这样行了。
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
14:5 有人告诉埃及王说，百姓逃跑。法老和他的臣仆就向百姓变心，说，我们容以色列人去，不再服事我们，这作的是什么事呢。
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
14:6 法老就预备他的车辆，带领军兵同去，
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
14:7 并带着六百辆特选的车和埃及所有的车，每辆都有车兵长。
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
14:8 耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬，他就追赶以色列人，因为以色列人是昂然无惧地出埃及。
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
14:9 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹，车辆，马兵，与军兵就在海边上，靠近比哈希录，对着巴力洗分，在他们安营的地方追上了。
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
14:10 法老临近的时候，以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来，就甚惧怕，向耶和华哀求。
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
14:11 他们对摩西说，难道在埃及没有坟地，你把我们带来死在旷野吗。你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来呢。
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
14:12 我们在埃及岂没有对你说过，不要搅扰我们，容我们服事埃及人吗，因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
14:13 摩西对百姓说，不要惧怕，只管站住，看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。因为，你们今天所看见的埃及人必永远不再看见了。
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14:14 耶和华必为你们争战，你们只管静默，不要作声。
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
14:15 耶和华对摩西说，你为什么向我哀求呢，你吩咐以色列人往前走。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
14:16 你举手向海伸杖，把水分开。以色列人要下海中走乾地。
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
14:17 我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就跟着下去。我要在法老和他的全军，车辆，马兵上得荣耀。
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
14:18 我在法老和他的车辆，马兵上得荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华了。
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
14:19 在以色列营前行走神的使者，转到他们后边去，云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住。
And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
14:20 在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱，一边黑暗，一边发光，终夜两下不得相近。
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
14:21 摩西向海伸杖，耶和华便用大东风，使海水一夜退去，水便分开，海就成了乾地。
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
14:22 以色列人下海中走乾地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
14:23 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹，车辆，和马兵都跟着下到海中。
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
14:24 到了晨更的时候，耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看，使埃及的军兵混乱了，
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
14:25 又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说，我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧，因耶和华为他们攻击我们了。
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
14:26 耶和华对摩西说，你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆，马兵身上。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
14:27 摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍旧复原。埃及人避水逃跑的时候，耶和华把他们推翻在海中，
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
14:28 水就回流，淹没了车辆和马兵。那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全军，连一个也没有剩下。
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
14:29 以色列人却在海中走乾地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
14:30 当日，耶和华这样拯救以色列人脱离埃及人的手，以色列人看见埃及人的死尸都在海边了。
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
14:31 以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所行的大事，就敬畏耶和华，又信服他和他的仆人摩西。
And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 15 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
15:1 那时，摩西和以色列人向耶和华唱歌说，我要向耶和华歌唱，因他大大战胜，将马和骑马的投在海中。
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
15:2 耶和华是我的力量，我的诗歌，也成了我的拯救。这是我的神，我要赞美他，是我父亲的神，我要尊崇他。
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
15:3 耶和华是战士，他的名是耶和华。
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
15:4 法老的车辆，军兵，耶和华已抛在海中，他特选的军长都沉于红海。
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
15:5 深水淹没他们，他们如同石头坠到深处。
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
15:6 耶和华阿，你的右手施展能力，显出荣耀，耶和华阿，你的右手摔碎仇敌。
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
15:7 你大发威严，推翻那些起来攻击你的，你发出烈怒如火，烧灭他们像烧碎一样。
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
15:8 你发鼻中的气，水便聚起成堆，大水直立如垒，海中的深水凝结。
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 仇敌说，我要追赶，我要追上，我要分掳物，我要在他们身上称我的心愿。我要拔出刀来，亲手杀灭他们。
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
15:10 你叫风一吹，海就把他们淹没，他们如铅沉在大水之中。
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
15:11 耶和华阿，众神之中，谁能像你。谁能像你，至圣至荣，可颂可畏，施行奇事。
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12 你伸出右手，地便吞灭他们。
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
15:13 你凭慈爱，领了你所赎的百姓，你凭能力，引他们到了你的圣所。
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
15:14 外邦人听见就发颤，疼痛抓住非利士的居民。
The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15:15 那时，以东的族长惊惶，摩押的英雄被战兢抓住，迦南的居民心都消化了。
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
15:16 惊骇恐惧临到他们。耶和华阿，因你膀臂的大能，他们如石头寂然不动，等候你的百姓过去，等候你所赎的百姓过去。
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
15:17 你要将他们领进去，栽于你产业的山上。耶和华阿，就是你为自己所造的住处，主阿，就是你手所建立的圣所。
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
15:18 耶和华必作王，直到永永远远。
The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
15:19 法老的马匹，车辆，和马兵下到海中，耶和华使海水回流，淹没他们，惟有以色列人在海中走乾地。
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
15:20 亚伦的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手里拿着鼓，众妇女也跟她出去拿鼓跳舞。
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
15:21 米利暗应声说，你们要歌颂耶和华，因他大大战胜，将马和骑马的投在海中。
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
15:22 摩西领以色列人从红海往前行，到了书珥的旷野，在旷野走了三天，找不着水。
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
15:23 到了玛拉，不能喝那里的水，因为水苦，所以那地名叫玛拉。
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
15:24 百姓就向摩西发怨言，说，我们喝什么呢。
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
15:25 摩西呼求耶和华，耶和华指示他一棵树。他把树丢在水里，水就变甜了。耶和华在那里为他们定了律例，典章，在那里试验他们，
And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
15:26 又说，你若留意听耶和华你神的话，又行我眼中看为正的事，留心听我的诫命，守我一切的律例，我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因为我耶和华是医治你的。
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
15:27 他们到了以琳，在那里有十二股水泉，七十棵棕树，他们就在那里的水边安营。
And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 16 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
16:1 以色列全会众从以琳起行，在出埃及后第二个月十五日到了以琳和西奈中间，汛的旷野。
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
16:2 以色列全会众在旷野向摩西，亚伦发怨言，
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
16:3 说，巴不得我们早死在埃及地，耶和华的手下，那时我们坐在肉锅旁边，吃得饱足。你们将我们领出来，到这旷野，是要叫这全会众都饿死阿。
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
16:4 耶和华对摩西说，我要将粮食从天降给你们。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的分，我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度。
Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
16:5 到第六天，他们要把所收进来的预备好了，比每天所收的多一倍。
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
16:6 摩西，亚伦对以色列众人说，到了晚上，你们要知道是耶和华将你们从埃及地领出来的。
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
16:7 早晨，你们要看见耶和华的荣耀，因为耶和华听见你们向他所发的怨言了。我们算什么，你们竟向我们发怨言呢。
And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
16:8 摩西又说，耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃，早晨必给你们食物得饱，因为你们向耶和华发的怨言，他都听见了。我们算什么，你们的怨言不是向我们发的，乃是向耶和华发的。
And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
16:9 摩西对亚伦说，你告诉以色列全会众说，你们就近耶和华面前，因为他已经听见你们的怨言了。
And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
16:10 亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候，他们向旷野观看，不料，耶和华的荣光在云中显现。
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
16:11 耶和华晓谕摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
16:12 我已经听见以色列人的怨言。你告诉他们说，到黄昏的时候，你们要吃肉，早晨必有食物得饱，你们就知道我是耶和华你们的神。
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
16:13 到了晚上，有鹌鹑飞来，遮满了营，早晨在营四围的地上有露水。
And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
16:14 露水上升之后，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圆物。
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
16:15 以色列人看见，不知道是什么，就彼此对问说，这是什么呢。摩西对他们说，这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物。
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16:16 耶和华所吩咐的是这样，你们要按着各人的饭量，为帐棚里的人，按着人数收起来，各拿一俄梅珥。
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
16:17 以色列人就这样行，有多收的，有少收的。
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
16:18 及至用俄梅珥量一量，多收的也没有馀，少收的也没有缺，各人按着自己的饭量收取。
And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
16:19 摩西对他们说，所收的，不许什么人留到早晨。
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
16:20 然而他们不听摩西的话，内中有留到早晨的，就生虫变臭了，摩西便向他们发怒。
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
16:21 他们每日早晨，按着各人的饭量收取，日头一发热，就消化了。
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
16:22 到第六天，他们收了双倍的食物，每人两俄梅珥。会众的官长来告诉摩西，
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
16:23 摩西对他们说，耶和华这样说，明天是圣安息日，是向耶和华守的圣安息日。你们要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。
And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
16:24 他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，里头也没有虫子。
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
16:25 摩西说，你们今天吃这个吧，因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日，你们在田野必找不着了。
And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
16:26 六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
16:27 第七天，百姓中有人出去收，什么也找不着。
And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
16:28 耶和华对摩西说，你们不肯守我的诫命和律法，要到几时呢。
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
16:29 你们看，耶和华既将安息日赐给你们，所以第六天他赐给你们两天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不许什么人出去。
See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
16:30 于是百姓第七天安息了。
So the people rested on the seventh day.
16:31 这食物，以色列家叫吗哪，样子像芫荽子，颜色是白的，滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼。
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
16:32 摩西说，耶和华所吩咐的是这样，要将一满俄梅珥（俄梅珥乃伊法十分之一）吗哪留到世世代代，使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地，在旷野所给你们吃的食物。
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
16:33 摩西对亚伦说，你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
16:34 耶和华怎吗吩咐摩西，亚伦就怎吗行，把吗哪放在法柜前存留。
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
16:35 以色列人吃吗哪共四十年，直到进了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。
And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
16:36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 17 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
17:1 以色列全会众都遵耶和华的吩咐，按着站口从汛的旷野往前行，在利非订安营。百姓没有水喝，
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
17:2 所以与摩西争闹，说，给我们水喝吧。摩西对他们说，你们为什么与我争闹，为什么试探耶和华呢。
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
17:3 百姓在那里甚渴，要喝水，就向摩西发怨言，说，你为什么将我们从埃及领出来，使我们和我们的儿女并牲畜都渴死呢。
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
17:4 摩西就呼求耶和华说，我向这百姓怎样行呢，他们几乎要拿石头打死我。
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
17:5 耶和华对摩西说，你手里拿着你先前击打河水的杖，带领以色列的几个长老，从百姓面前走过去。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
17:6 我必在何烈的磐石那里，站在你面前。你要击打磐石，从磐石里必有水流出来，使百姓可以喝。摩西就在以色列的长老眼前赦样行了。
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
17:7 他给那地方起名叫玛撒（就是试探的意思），又叫米利巴（就是争闹的意思），因以色列人争闹，又因他们试探耶和华，说，耶和华是在我们中间不是。
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
17:8 那时，亚玛力人来在利非订，和以色列人争战。
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
17:9 摩西对约书亚说，你为我们选出人来，出去和亚玛力人争战。明天我手里要拿着神的杖，站在山顶上。
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
17:10 于是约书亚照着摩西对他所说的话行，和亚玛力人争战。摩西，亚伦，与户珥都上了山顶。
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
17:11 摩西何时举手，以色列人就得胜，何时垂手，亚玛力人就得胜。
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
17:12 但摩西的手发沉，他们就搬石头来，放在他以下，他就坐在上面。亚伦与户珥扶着他的手，一个在这边，一个在那边，他的手就稳住，直到日落的时候。
But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
17:13 约书亚用刀杀了亚玛力王和他的百姓。
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
17:14 耶和华对摩西说，我要将亚玛力的名号从天下全然涂抹了，你要将这话写在书上作纪念，又念给约书亚听。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
17:15 摩西筑了一座坛，起名叫耶和华尼西（就是耶和华是我旌旗的意思），
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
17:16 又说，耶和华已经起了誓，必世世代代和亚玛力人争战。
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 18 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
18:1 摩西的岳父，米甸祭司叶忒罗，听见神为摩西和神的百姓以色列所行的一切事，就是耶和华将以色列从埃及领出来的事，
When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
18:2 便带着摩西的妻子西坡拉，就是摩西从前打发回去的，
Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
18:3 又带着西坡拉的两个儿子，一个名叫革舜，因为摩西说，我在外邦作了寄居的，
And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
18:4 一个名叫以利以谢，因为他说，我父亲的神帮助了我，救我脱离法老的刀。
And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
18:5 摩西的岳父叶忒罗带着摩西的妻子和两个儿子来到神的山，就是摩西在旷野安营的地方。
And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
18:6 他对摩西说，我是你岳父叶忒罗，带着你的妻子和两个儿子来到你这里。
And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
18:7 摩西迎接他的岳父，向他下拜，与他亲嘴，彼此问安，都进了帐棚。
And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
18:8 摩西将耶和华为以色列的缘故向法老和埃及人所行的一切事，以及路上所遭遇的一切艰难，并耶和华怎样搭救他们，都述说与他岳父听。
And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
18:9 叶忒罗因耶和华待以色列的一切好处，就是拯救他们脱离埃及人的手，便甚欢喜。
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
18:10 叶忒罗说，耶和华是应当称颂的，他救了你们脱离埃及人和法老的手，将这百姓从埃及人的手下救出来。
And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
18:11 我现今在埃及人向这百姓发狂傲的事上得知，耶和华比万神都大。
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
18:12 摩西的岳父叶忒罗把燔祭和平安祭献给神。亚伦和以色列的众长老都来了，与摩西的岳父在神面前吃饭。
And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
18:13 第二天，摩西坐着审判百姓，百姓从早到晚都站在摩西的左右。
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
18:14 摩西的岳父看见他向百姓所作的一切事，就说，你向百姓作的是什么事呢，你为什么独自坐着，众百姓从早到晚都站在你的左右呢。
And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
18:15 摩西对岳父说，这是因百姓到我这里来求问神。
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
18:16 他们有事的时候就到我这里来，我便在两造之间施行审判，我又叫他们知道神的律例和法度。
When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
18:17 摩西的岳父说，你这作的不好。
And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18:18 你和这些百姓必都疲惫，因为这事太重，你独自一人办理不了。
Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
18:19 现在你要听我的话。我为你出个主意，愿神与你同在。你要替百姓到神面前，将案件奏告神，
Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
18:20 又要将律例和法度教训他们，指示他们当行的道，当作的事，
And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
18:21 并要从百姓中拣选有才能的人，就是敬畏神，诚实无妄，恨不义之财的人，派他们作千夫长，百夫长，五十夫长，十夫长，管理百姓，
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
18:22 叫他们随时审判百姓，大事都要呈到你这里，小事他们自己可以审判。这样，你就轻省些，他们也可以同当此任。
And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
18:23 你若这样行，神也这样吩咐你，你就能受得住，这百姓也都平平安安归回他们的住处。
If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
18:24 于是，摩西听从他岳父的话，按着他所说的去行。
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
18:25 摩西从以色列人中拣选了有才能的人，立他们为百姓的首领，作千夫长，百夫长，五十夫长，十夫长。
And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
18:26 他们随时审判百姓，有难断的案件就呈到摩西那里，但各样小事他们自己审判。
And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
18:27 此后，摩西让他的岳父去，他就往本地去了。
And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

19:1 以色列人出埃及地以后，满了三个月的那一天，就来到西奈的旷野。
In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
19:2 他们离了利非订，来到西奈的旷野，就在那里的山下安营。
For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
19:3 摩西到神那里，耶和华从山上呼唤他说，你要这样告诉雅各家，晓谕以色列人说，
And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
19:4 我向埃及人所行的事，你们都看见了，且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
19:5 如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
19:6 你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。这些话你要告诉以色列人。
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
19:7 摩西去召了民间的长老来，将耶和华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
19:8 百姓都同声回答说，凡耶和华所说的，我们都要遵行。摩西就将百姓的话回覆耶和华。
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
19:9 耶和华对摩西说，我要在密云中临到你那里，叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见，也可以永远信你了。于是，摩西将百姓的话奏告耶和华。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
19:10 耶和华又对摩西说，你往百姓那里去，叫他们今天明天自洁，又叫他们洗衣服。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
19:11 到第三天要预备好了，因为第三天耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山上。
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
19:12 你要在山的四围给百姓定界限，说，你们当谨慎，不可上山去，也不可摸山的边界，凡摸这山的，必要治死他。
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
19:13 不可用手摸他，必用石头打死，或用箭射透，无论是人是牲畜，都不得活。到角声拖长的时候，他们才可到山根来。
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
19:14 摩西下山往百姓那里去，叫他们自洁，他们就洗衣服。
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
19:15 他对百姓说，到第三天要预备好了。不可亲近女人。
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
19:16 到了第三天早晨，在山上有雷轰，闪电，和密云，并且角声甚大，营中的百姓尽都发颤。
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
19:17 摩西率领百姓出营迎接神，都站在山下。
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
19:18 西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降于山上。山的烟气上腾，如烧窑一般，遍山大大地震动。
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19:19 角声渐渐地高而又高，摩西就说话，神有声音答应他。
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
19:20 耶和华降临在西奈山顶上，耶和华召摩西上山顶，摩西就上去。
And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
19:21 耶和华对摩西说，你下去嘱咐百姓，不可闯过来到我面前观看，恐怕他们有多人死亡，
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
19:22 又叫亲近我的祭司自洁，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。
And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
19:23 摩西对耶和华说，百姓不能上西奈山，因为你已经嘱咐我们说，要在山的四围定界限，叫山成圣。
And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
19:24 耶和华对他说，下去吧，你要和亚伦一同上来，只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前，恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。
And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
19:25 于是摩西下到百姓那里告诉他们。
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
旧约--出埃及记(Exodus)--第 20 章 ( 本篇共有 40 章 )
20:1 神吩咐这一切的话说，
And God spake all these words, saying,
20:2 我是耶和华你的神，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3 除了我以外，你不可有别的神。
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
20:4 不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可作什么形像彷佛上天，下地，和地底下，水中的百物。
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
20:5 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因为我耶和华你的神是忌邪的神。恨我的，我必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代，
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
20:6 爱我，守我诫命的，我必向他们发慈爱，直到千代。
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
20:7 不可妄称耶和华你神的名，因为妄称耶和华名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
20:8 当记念安息日，守为圣日。
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 六日要劳碌作你一切的工，
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
20:10 但第七日是向耶和华你神当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女，仆婢，牲畜，并你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可作，
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
20:11 因为六日之内，耶和华造天，地，海，和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
20:12 当孝敬父母，使你的日子在耶和华你神所赐你的地上得以长久。
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
20:13 不可杀人。
Thou shalt not kill.
20:14 不可奸淫。
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
20:15 不可偷盗。

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
20:18 众百姓见雷轰，闪电，角声，山上冒烟，就都发颤，远远地站立。
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
20:19 对摩西说，求你和我们说话，我们必听，不要神和我们说话，恐怕我们死亡。
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20:20 摩西对百姓说，不要惧怕，因为神降临是要试验你们，叫你们时常敬畏他，不致犯罪。
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
20:21 于是百姓远远地站立，摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗之中。
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
20:22 耶和华对摩西说，你要向以色列人这样说，你们自己看见我从天上和你们说话了。
And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
20:23 你们不可作什么神像与我相配，不可为自己作金银的神像。
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
20:24 你要为我筑土坛，在上面以牛羊献为燔祭和平安祭。凡记下我名的地方，我必到那里赐福给你。
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
20:25 你若为我筑一座石坛，不可用凿成的石头，因你在上头一动家具，就把坛污秽了。
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
20:26 你上我的坛，不可用台阶，免得露出你的下体来。
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
