¹耶和华对摩西说：“看哪，我使你在法老面前好像　神一样；你哥哥亚伦要作你的先知。

¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;

²我吩咐你的一切，你都要说；你哥哥亚伦要告诉法老，法老就让以色列人离开他的地。

²thou — thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.

³我要使法老心硬，我也要在埃及地加增我的神迹奇事。

³`And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,

⁴可是法老不听你们的话，我必下手击打埃及；借着严厉的刑罚把我的军队，我的人民以色列人，从埃及地领出来。

⁴and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;

⁵我向埃及伸手，把以色列人从他们中间领出来的时候，埃及人就必知道我是耶和华。”

⁵and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.`

⁶摩西和亚伦这样行了；耶和华怎样吩咐摩西和亚伦，他们就照样行了。

⁶And Moses doth — Aaron also — as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;

⁷摩西和亚伦与法老说话的时候，摩西八十岁，亚伦八十三岁。

⁷and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.

⁸以杖变蛇耶和华告诉摩西和亚伦说：

⁸And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

⁹“如果法老告诉你们说：‘你们行件奇事吧’，你就要对亚伦说：‘拿你的手杖来，把它丢在法老面前，它就会变作蛇。’”

⁹`When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh — it becometh a monster.`

¹⁰摩西和亚伦就进到法老那里，照着耶和华吩咐他们的行了；亚伦把手杖丢在法老和法老的臣仆面前，手杖就变了蛇。

¹⁰And Moses goeth in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.

¹¹于是，法老也把智慧人和行法术的人召了来；他们本是埃及的术士，也用他们的巫术照样行了。

¹¹And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,

¹²他们各人都丢下自己的手杖，手杖就变了蛇；亚伦的手杖却吞了他们的手杖。

¹²and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;

¹³法老心里刚硬，不肯听他们的话，就像耶和华所说的一样。

¹³and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁴血灾耶和华对摩西说：“法老心里固执，拒绝让人民离去。

¹⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;

¹⁵明天早晨你要到法老那里去。看哪，法老出来到水边去的时候，你要站在河边迎见他；那变过蛇的手杖，你要拿在手里。

¹⁵go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy hand,

¹⁶你要对法老说：‘耶和华希伯来人的　神差我到你这里来，说：“让我的人民离开这里，好使他们可以在旷野事奉我”，你看，直到现在你还是不听。

¹⁶and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.

¹⁷耶和华这样说：“看哪，我要用我手里的杖击打河中的水，水就必变成血；因此你就知道我是耶和华。

¹⁷`Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,

¹⁸河中的鱼必死亡，河水也必发臭，埃及人就必厌恶喝这河里的水。”’”

¹⁸and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.`

¹⁹耶和华对摩西说：“你要对亚伦说：‘拿你的手杖来，把你的手伸在埃及的众水之上，就是在他们的江、河、池和所有水塘之上，使水都变成血。因此，在埃及全地，连木器石器中都必有血。’”

¹⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood — and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.`

²⁰摩西和亚伦就这样行了，就像耶和华所吩咐的；亚伦在法老面前和法老的臣仆面前举起手杖，击打河里的水，河里的水就都变了血。

²⁰And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,

²¹河里的鱼死了，河水发臭了，埃及人也不能喝这河里的水了；在埃及，全地都有血。

²¹and the fish which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.

²²埃及的术士也用他们的巫术这样行了；可是法老却心里刚硬，不肯听摩西和亚伦，就像耶和华所说的。

²²And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,

²³法老转身回到宫里去，也不把这事放在心上。

²³and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;

²⁴所有的埃及人都在河的周围掘地，要得水喝，因为他们不能喝这河里的水。

²⁴and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.

²⁵耶和华击打尼罗河以后，满了七天。

²⁵And seven days are completed after Jehovah`s smiting the River,
