最後一災的預告

¹耶和華對摩西說：「我再使一樣的災殃臨到法老和埃及，然後他必容你們離開這地。他容你們去的時候，總要催逼你們都從這地出去。Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt one more plague. After that, he will allow you to leave this place. And when he lets you go, he will drive you out completely.

²你要傳於百姓的耳中，叫他們男女各人向鄰舍要金器銀器。」Now announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”

³耶和華叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，並且摩西在埃及地、法老臣僕，和百姓的眼中看為極大。And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.

埃及的長子都必死

⁴摩西說：「耶和華這樣說：『約到半夜，我必出去巡行埃及遍地。So Moses declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt,

⁵凡在埃及地，從坐寶座的法老直到磨子後的婢女所有的長子，以及一切頭生的牲畜，都必死。and every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the servant girl behind the hand mill, as well as the firstborn of all the cattle.

⁶埃及遍地必有大哀號；從前沒有這樣的，後來也必沒有。Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again.

⁷至於以色列中，無論是人是牲畜，連狗也不敢向他們搖舌，好叫你們知道耶和華是將埃及人和以色列人分別出來。』But among all the Israelites, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

⁸你這一切臣僕都要俯伏來見我，說：『求你和跟從你的百姓都出去』，然後我要出去。」於是，摩西氣忿忿地離開法老，出去了。And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.

⁹耶和華對摩西說：「法老必不聽你們，使我的奇事在埃及地多起來。」The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”

¹⁰摩西、亞倫在法老面前行了這一切奇事；耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人出離他的地。Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.

以本月為正月；設立逾越節

¹耶和華在埃及地曉諭摩西、亞倫說：Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

²「你們要以本月為正月，為一年之首。“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

³你們吩咐以色列全會眾說：本月初十日，各人要按著父家取羊羔，一家一隻。Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.

⁴若是一家的人太少，吃不了一隻羊羔，本人就要和他隔壁的鄰舍共取一隻。你們預備羊羔，要按著人數和飯量計算。If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.

⁵要無殘疾、一歲的公羊羔，你們或從綿羊裡取，或從山羊裡取，都可以。Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

⁶要留到本月十四日，在黃昏的時候，以色列全會眾把羊羔宰了。You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.

⁷各家要取點血，塗在吃羊羔的房屋左右的門框上和門楣上。They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

⁸當夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，與無酵餅和苦菜同吃。They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

⁹不可吃生的，斷不可吃水煮的，要帶著頭、腿、五臟，用火烤了吃。Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.

¹⁰不可剩下一點留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火燒了。Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

¹¹你們吃羊羔當腰間束帶，腳上穿鞋，手中拿杖，趕緊地吃；這是耶和華的逾越節。This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.

¹²因為那夜我要巡行埃及地，把埃及地一切頭生的，無論是人是牲畜，都擊殺了，又要敗壞埃及一切的神。我是耶和華。On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

¹³這血要在你們所住的房屋上作記號；我一見這血，就越過你們去。我擊殺埃及地頭生的時候，災殃必不臨到你們身上滅你們。」The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

無酵節

¹⁴「你們要記念這日，守為耶和華的節，作為你們世世代代永遠的定例。And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

¹⁵你們要吃無酵餅七日。頭一日要把酵從你們各家中除去；因為從頭一日起，到第七日為止，凡吃有酵之餅的，必從以色列中剪除。For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶頭一日你們當有聖會，第七日也當有聖會。這兩日之內，除了預備各人所要吃的以外，無論何工都不可做。On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.

¹⁷你們要守無酵節，因為我正當這日把你們的軍隊從埃及地領出來。所以，你們要守這日，作為世世代代永遠的定例。So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

¹⁸從正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你們要吃無酵餅。In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.

¹⁹在你們各家中，七日之內不可有酵；因為凡吃有酵之物的，無論是寄居的，是本地的，必從以色列的會中剪除。For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.

²⁰有酵的物，你們都不可吃；在你們一切住處要吃無酵餅。」You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

摩西吩咐眾長老

²¹於是，摩西召了以色列的眾長老來，對他們說：「你們要按著家口取出羊羔，把這逾越節的羊羔宰了。Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.

²²拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆裡的血，打在門楣上和左右的門框上。你們誰也不可出自己的房門，直到早晨。Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.

²³因為耶和華要巡行擊殺埃及人，他看見血在門楣上和左右的門框上，就必越過那門，不容滅命的進你們的房屋，擊殺你們。When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

²⁴這例，你們要守著，作為你們和你們子孫永遠的定例。And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

²⁵日後，你們到了耶和華按著所應許賜給你們的那地，就要守這禮。When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

²⁶你們的兒女問你們說：『行這禮是甚麼意思？』When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

²⁷你們就說：『這是獻給耶和華逾越節的祭。當以色列人在埃及的時候，他擊殺埃及人，越過以色列人的房屋，救了我們各家。』」於是百姓低頭下拜。you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

²⁸耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列人就怎樣行。And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

擊殺埃及的長子

²⁹到了半夜，耶和華把埃及地所有的長子，就是從坐寶座的法老，直到被擄囚在監裡之人的長子，以及一切頭生的牲畜，盡都殺了。Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

³⁰法老和一切臣僕，並埃及眾人，夜間都起來了。在埃及有大哀號，無一家不死一個人的。During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.

法老催百姓出去

³¹夜間，法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「起來！連你們帶以色列人，從我民中出去，依你們所說的，去事奉耶和華吧！Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.

³²也依你們所說的，連羊群牛群帶著走吧！並要為我祝福。」Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

³³埃及人催促百姓，打發他們快快出離那地，因為埃及人說：「我們都要死了。」And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”

³⁴百姓就拿著沒有酵的生麵，把摶麵盆包在衣服中，扛在肩頭上。So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

³⁵以色列人照著摩西的話行，向埃及人要金器、銀器，和衣裳。Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

³⁶耶和華叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人給他們所要的。他們就把埃及人的財物奪去了。And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

以色列人從蘭塞起行

³⁷以色列人從蘭塞起行，往疏割去；除了婦人孩子，步行的男人約有六十萬。The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

³⁸又有許多閒雜人，並有羊群牛群，和他們一同上去。And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

³⁹他們用埃及帶出來的生麵烤成無酵餅。這生麵原沒有發起；因為他們被催逼離開埃及，不能耽延，也沒有為自己預備甚麼食物。Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.

⁴⁰以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

⁴¹正滿了四百三十年的那一天，耶和華的軍隊都從埃及地出來了。At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

⁴²這夜是耶和華的夜；因耶和華領他們出了埃及地，所以當向耶和華謹守，是以色列眾人世世代代該謹守的。Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

逾越節的條例

⁴³耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：「逾越節的例是這樣：外邦人都不可吃這羊羔。And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

⁴⁴但各人用銀子買的奴僕，既受了割禮就可以吃。But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

⁴⁵寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

⁴⁶應當在一個房子裡吃；不可把一點肉從房子裡帶到外頭去。羊羔的骨頭一根也不可折斷。It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.

⁴⁷以色列全會眾都要守這禮。The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

⁴⁸若有外人寄居在你們中間，願向耶和華守逾越節，他所有的男子務要受割禮，然後才容他前來遵守，他也就像本地人一樣；但未受割禮的，都不可吃這羊羔。If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.

⁴⁹本地人和寄居在你們中間的外人同歸一例。」The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

⁵⁰耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列眾人就怎樣行了。Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

⁵¹正當那日，耶和華將以色列人按著他們的軍隊，從埃及地領出來。And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.

頭生的歸給耶和華

¹耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「以色列中凡頭生的，無論是人是牲畜，都是我的，要分別為聖歸我。」“Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”

記念出埃及的日子

³摩西對百姓說：「你們要記念從埃及為奴之家出來的這日，因為耶和華用大能的手將你們從這地方領出來。有酵的餅都不可吃。So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.

⁴亞筆月間的這日是你們出來的日子。Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.

⁵將來耶和華領你進迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、希未人、耶布斯人之地，就是他向你的祖宗起誓應許給你那流奶與蜜之地，那時你要在這月間守這禮。And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.

⁶你要吃無酵餅七日，到第七日要向耶和華守節。For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.

⁷這七日之久，要吃無酵餅；在你四境之內不可見有酵的餅，也不可見發酵的物。Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.

⁸當那日，你要告訴你的兒子說：『這是因耶和華在我出埃及的時候為我所行的事。And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

⁹這要在你手上作記號，在你額上作紀念，使耶和華的律法常在你口中，因為耶和華曾用大能的手將你從埃及領出來。It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.

¹⁰所以你每年要按著日期守這例。』」Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.

頭生的要贖出來

¹¹「將來，耶和華照他向你和你祖宗所起的誓將你領進迦南人之地，把這地賜給你，And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,

¹²那時你要將一切頭生的，並牲畜中頭生的，歸給耶和華；公的都要屬耶和華。you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.

¹⁵那時法老幾乎不容我們去，耶和華就把埃及地所有頭生的，無論是人是牲畜，都殺了。因此，我把一切頭生的公牲畜獻給耶和華為祭，但將頭生的兒子都贖出來。And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb, but I redeem all the firstborn of my sons.’

¹⁶這要在你手上作記號，在你額上作經文，因為耶和華用大能的手將我們從埃及領出來。』」So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”

神領百姓繞道而行

¹⁷法老容百姓去的時候，非利士地的道路雖近，　神卻不領他們從那裡走；因為　神說：「恐怕百姓遇見打仗後悔，就回埃及去。」When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”

¹⁸所以　神領百姓繞道而行，走紅海曠野的路。以色列人出埃及地，都帶著兵器上去。So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.

¹⁹摩西把約瑟的骸骨一同帶去；因為約瑟曾叫以色列人嚴嚴地起誓，對他們說：「　神必眷顧你們，你們要把我的骸骨從這裡一同帶上去。」Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”

²⁰他們從疏割起行，在曠野邊的以倘安營。They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.

雲柱和火柱

²¹日間，耶和華在雲柱中領他們的路；夜間，在火柱中光照他們，使他們日夜都可以行走。And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night.

²²日間雲柱，夜間火柱，總不離開百姓的面前。Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.

富有的少年人

¹⁶有一個人來見耶穌，說：「夫子（有古卷：良善的夫子），我該做甚麼善事才能得永生？」Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

¹⁷耶穌對他說：「你為甚麼以善事問我呢？只有一位是善的（有古卷：你為甚麼稱我是良善的？除了　神以外，沒有一個良善的）。你若要進入永生，就當遵守誡命。」“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

¹⁸他說：「甚麼誡命？」耶穌說：「就是不可殺人；不可姦淫；不可偷盜；不可作假見證；“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

¹⁹當孝敬父母；又當愛人如己。」honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

²⁹凡為我的名撇下房屋，或是弟兄、姊妹、父親、母親、（有古卷加：妻子、）兒女、田地的，必要得著百倍，並且承受永生。And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

葡萄園工人的比喻

¹「因為天國好像家主清早去雇人進他的葡萄園做工，“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

²和工人講定一天一錢銀子，就打發他們進葡萄園去。He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

³約在巳初出去，看見市上還有閒站的人，About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

⁴就對他們說：『你們也進葡萄園去，所當給的，我必給你們。』他們也進去了。‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’

⁵約在午正和申初又出去，也是這樣行。So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.

⁶約在酉初出去，看見還有人站在那裡，就問他們說：『你們為甚麼整天在這裡閒站呢？』About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.

⁷他們說：『因為沒有人雇我們。』他說：『你們也進葡萄園去。』‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’

先來後來的都得一錢銀子

⁸到了晚上，園主對管事的說：『叫工人都來，給他們工錢，從後來的起，到先來的為止。』When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’

⁹約在酉初雇的人來了，各人得了一錢銀子。The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.

¹⁰及至那先雇的來了，他們以為必要多得；誰知也是各得一錢。So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.

先雇的埋怨家主

¹¹他們得了，就埋怨家主說：On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.

¹²『我們整天勞苦受熱，那後來的只做了一小時，你竟叫他們和我們一樣嗎？』‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’

我給後來的和給你一樣

¹³家主回答其中的一人說：『朋友，我不虧負你，你與我講定的不是一錢銀子嗎？But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?

¹⁴拿你的走吧！我給那後來的和給你一樣，這是我願意的。Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.

¹⁵我的東西難道不可隨我的意思用嗎？因為我作好人，你就紅了眼嗎？』Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

¹⁶這樣，那在後的，將要在前；在前的，將要在後了。（有古卷加：因為被召的人多，選上的人少。）」So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
