他们却悖逆我，不肯听从我，不抛弃他们眼所喜爱那可憎之物，不离弃埃及的偶像。我就说，我要将我的忿怒倾在他们身上，在埃及地向他们成就我怒中所定的。
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
我却为我名的缘故没有这样行，免得我名在他们所住的列国人眼前被亵渎。我领他们出埃及地，在这列国人的眼前将自己向他们显现。
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
这样，我就使他们出埃及地，领他们到旷野，
Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
将我的律例赐给他们，将我的典章指示他们。人若遵行就必因此活着。
And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
又将我的安息日赐给他们，好在我与他们中间为证据，使他们知道我耶和华是叫他们成为圣的。
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
并且我在旷野向他们起誓，必不领他们进入我所赐给他们流奶与蜜之地，那地在万国中是有荣耀的。
Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
虽然如此，我眼仍顾惜他们，不毁灭他们，不在旷野将他们灭绝净尽。
Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
我是耶和华你们的神，你们要顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章，
I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
并且我在旷野向他们起誓，必将他们分散在列国，四散在列邦。
I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
因他们将一切头生的经火，我就任凭他们在这供献的事上玷污自己，好叫他们凄凉，使他们知道我是耶和华。
And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
