亚伦的杖吞了术士的杖

⁸耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

⁹“法老若对你们说：‘你们行件奇事吧！’你就吩咐亚伦说：‘把杖丢在法老面前，使杖变作蛇。’”“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”

¹⁰摩西、亚伦进去见法老，就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦把杖丢在法老和臣仆面前，杖就变作蛇。So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

¹¹于是法老召了博士和术士来；他们是埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.

¹²他们各人丢下自己的杖，杖就变作蛇；但亚伦的杖吞了他们的杖。Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.

¹³法老心里刚硬，不肯听从摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

第一灾：水变血

¹⁴耶和华对摩西说：“法老心里固执，不肯容百姓去。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

¹⁵明日早晨，他出来往水边去，你要往河边迎接他，手里要拿着那变过蛇的杖，Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.

¹⁶对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的　神打发我来见你，说：容我的百姓去，好在旷野事奉我。到如今你还是不听。Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened.

¹⁷耶和华这样说：我要用我手里的杖击打河中的水，水就变作血；因此，你必知道我是耶和华。This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.

¹⁸河里的鱼必死，河也要腥臭，埃及人就要厌恶吃这河里的水。’”The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”

¹⁹耶和华晓谕摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘把你的杖伸在埃及所有的水以上，就是在他们的江、河、池、塘以上，叫水都变作血。在埃及遍地，无论在木器中，石器中，都必有血。’”And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and all the reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”

²⁰摩西、亚伦就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦在法老和臣仆眼前举杖击打河里的水，河里的水都变作血了。Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.

²¹河里的鱼死了，河也腥臭了，埃及人就不能吃这河里的水；埃及遍地都有了血。The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.

术士照样而行，法老心硬

²²埃及行法术的，也用邪术照样而行。法老心里刚硬，不肯听摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

²³法老转身进宫，也不把这事放在心上。Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

²⁴埃及人都在河的两边挖地，要得水喝，因为他们不能喝这河里的水。So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

²⁵耶和华击打河以后满了七天。And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.

第二灾：青蛙

¹耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

²你若不肯容他们去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.

³河里要滋生青蛙；这青蛙要上来进你的宫殿和你的卧房，上你的床榻，进你臣仆的房屋，上你百姓的身上，进你的炉灶和你的抟面盆，The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.

⁴又要上你和你百姓并你众臣仆的身上。’”The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”

⁵耶和华晓谕摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘把你的杖伸在江、河、池以上，使青蛙到埃及地上来。’”And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”

⁶亚伦便伸杖在埃及的诸水以上，青蛙就上来，遮满了埃及地。So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

⁷行法术的也用他们的邪术照样而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.

法老求摩西祈求

⁸法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“请你们求耶和华使这青蛙离开我和我的民，我就容百姓去祭祀耶和华。”Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”

⁹摩西对法老说：“任凭你吧，我要何时为你和你的臣仆并你的百姓祈求，除灭青蛙离开你和你的宫殿只留在河里呢？”Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

¹⁰他说：“明天。”摩西说：“可以照你的话吧，好叫你知道没有像耶和华—我们　神的。“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

¹¹青蛙要离开你和你的宫殿，并你的臣仆与你的百姓，只留在河里。”The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

¹²于是摩西、亚伦离开法老出去。摩西为扰害法老的青蛙呼求耶和华。After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

¹³耶和华就照摩西的话行。凡在房里、院中、田间的青蛙都死了。And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

¹⁴众人把青蛙聚拢成堆，遍地就都腥臭。They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.

法老又硬着心

¹⁵但法老见灾祸松缓，就硬着心，不肯听他们，正如耶和华所说的。When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

第三灾：虱子

¹⁶耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘伸出你的杖击打地上的尘土，使尘土在埃及遍地变作虱子（或译：虼蚤；下同）。’”Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”

¹⁷他们就这样行。亚伦伸杖击打地上的尘土，就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子；埃及遍地的尘土都变成虱子了。This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

术士承认是神的手段

¹⁸行法术的也用邪术要生出虱子来，却是不能。于是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

¹⁹行法术的就对法老说：“这是　神的手段。”法老心里刚硬，不肯听摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

天国里谁是最大的

¹当时，门徒进前来，问耶稣说：“天国里谁是最大的？”At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

²耶稣便叫一个小孩子来，使他站在他们当中，Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.

³说：“我实在告诉你们，你们若不回转，变成小孩子的样式，断不得进天国。“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

⁵凡为我的名接待一个像这小孩子的，就是接待我。”And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

不可使小子跌倒

⁶“凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上，沉在深海里。But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

⁷这世界有祸了，因为将人绊倒；绊倒人的事是免不了的，但那绊倒人的有祸了！Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

叫你跌倒的就砍下来

⁸倘若你一只手，或是一只脚，叫你跌倒，就砍下来丢掉。你缺一只手，或是一只脚，进入永生，强如有两手两脚被丢在永火里。If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.

⁹倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒，就把它剜出来丢掉。你只有一只眼进入永生，强如有两只眼被丢在地狱的火里。”And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

¹¹人子来，为要拯救失丧的人。）（BSB 英译本没有这一节）

迷羊的比喻

¹²一个人若有一百只羊，一只走迷了路，你们的意思如何？他岂不撇下这九十九只，往山里去找那只迷路的羊吗？What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?

¹³若是找着了，我实在告诉你们，他为这一只羊欢喜，比为那没有迷路的九十九只欢喜还大呢！And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

¹⁴你们在天上的父也是这样，不愿意这小子里失丧一个。”In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

弟兄得罪你的时候

¹⁵“倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去，趁着只有他和你在一处的时候，指出他的错来。他若听你，你便得了你的弟兄；If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

¹⁶他若不听，你就另外带一两个人同去，要凭两三个人的口作见证，句句都可定准。But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’

饶恕到七十个七次

²¹那时，彼得进前来，对耶稣说：“主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我当饶恕他几次呢？到七次可以吗？”Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²²耶稣说：“我对你说，不是到七次，乃是到七十个七次。Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

不饶恕人的仆人

²³天国好像一个王要和他仆人算帐。Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

²⁴才算的时候，有人带了一个欠一千万银子的来。As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.

²⁵因为他没有什么偿还之物，主人吩咐把他和他妻子儿女，并一切所有的都卖了偿还。Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.

²⁶那仆人就俯伏拜他，说：‘主啊，宽容我，将来我都要还清。’Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

²⁷那仆人的主人就动了慈心，把他释放了，并且免了他的债。His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.

²⁸“那仆人出来，遇见他的一个同伴欠他十两银子，便揪着他，掐住他的喉咙，说：‘你把所欠的还我！’But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’

²⁹他的同伴就俯伏央求他，说：‘宽容我吧，将来我必还清。’So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’

³⁰他不肯，竟去把他下在监里，等他还了所欠的债。But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.

³¹众同伴看见他所做的事就甚忧愁，去把这事都告诉了主人。When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.

³²于是主人叫了他来，对他说：‘你这恶奴才！你央求我，我就把你所欠的都免了，Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.

³³你不应当怜恤你的同伴，像我怜恤你吗？’Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’

³⁴主人就大怒，把他交给掌刑的，等他还清了所欠的债。In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.

³⁵你们各人若不从心里饶恕你的弟兄，我天父也要这样待你们了。”That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
