5:1
|
后来摩西、亚伦去对法老说：「耶和华以色列的神这样说：『容我的百姓去，在旷野向我守节。』」
|
|
|
And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
|
|
5:2
|
法老说：「耶和华是谁，使我听他的话，容以色列人去呢？我不认识耶和华，也不容以色列人去！」
|
|
|
And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.
|
|
5:3
|
他们说：「希伯来人的神遇见了我们。求你容我们往旷野去，走三天的路程，祭祀耶和华我们的神，免得他用瘟疫、刀兵攻击我们。」
|
|
|
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days` journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
|
|
5:4
|
埃及王对他们说：「摩西、亚伦！你们为什么叫百姓旷工呢？你们去担你们的担子吧！」
|
|
|
And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
|
|
5:5
|
又说：「看哪，这地的以色列人如今众多，你们竟叫他们歇下担子！」
|
|
|
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
|
|
5:6
|
当天，法老吩咐督工的和官长说：
|
|
|
And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
|
|
5:7
|
「你们不可照常把草给百姓做砖，叫他们自己去捡草。
|
|
|
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
|
|
5:8
|
他们素常做砖的数目，你们仍旧向他们要，一点不可减少；因为他们是懒惰的，所以呼求说：『容我们去祭祀我们的神。』
|
|
|
And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
|
|
5:9
|
你们要把更重的工夫加在这些人身上，叫他们劳碌，不听虚谎的言语。」
|
|
|
Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words.
|
|
5:10
|
督工的和官长出来对百姓说：「法老这样说：『我不给你们草。
|
|
|
And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
|
|
5:11
|
你们自己在那里能找草，就往那里去找吧！但你们的工一点不可减少。』」
|
|
|
Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.
|
|
5:12
|
于是百姓散在埃及遍地，捡碎稓当作草。
|
|
|
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
|
|
5:13
|
督工的催着说：「你们一天当完一天的工，与先前有草一样。」
|
|
|
And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
|
|
5:14
|
法老督工的，责打他所派以色列人的官长，说：「你们昨天今天为什么没有照向来的数目做砖、完你们的工作呢？」
|
|
|
And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh`s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?
|
|
5:15
|
以色列人的官长就来哀求法老说：「为什么这样待你的仆人？
|
|
|
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
|
|
5:16
|
督工的不把草给仆人，并且对我们说：『做砖吧！』看哪，你仆人挨了打，其实是你百姓的错。」
|
|
|
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault it in thine own people.
|
|
5:17
|
但法老说：「你们是懒惰的！你们是懒惰的！所以说：『容我们去祭祀耶和华。』
|
|
|
But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.
|
|
5:18
|
现在你们去做工吧！草是不给你们的，砖却要如数交纳。」
|
|
|
Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
|
|
5:19
|
以色列人的官长听说「你们每天做砖的工作一点不可减少」，就知道是遭遇祸患了。
|
|
|
And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, [your] daily tasks.
|
|
5:20
|
他们离了法老出来，正遇见摩西、亚伦站在对面，
|
|
|
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
|
|
5:21
|
就向他们说：「愿耶和华鉴察你们，施行判断；因你们使我们在法老和他臣仆面前有了臭名，把刀递在他们手中杀我们。」
|
|
|
and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
|
|
5:22
|
摩西回到耶和华那里，说：「主啊，你为什么苦待这百姓呢？为什么打发我去呢？
|
|
|
And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
|
|
5:23
|
自从我去见法老，奉你的名说话，他就苦待这百姓，你一点也没有拯救他们。」
|
|
|
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
