Moses spoke to the Lord. He said,“ Lord, I’ve never been a good speaker. And I haven’t gotten any better since you spoke to me. I don’t speak very well at all.”

摩西对耶和华说：“主啊，我素日不是能言的人，就是从你对仆人说话以后，也是这样。我本是拙口笨舌的。”

摩西对耶和华说：“主啊，求求你，我并不是一个能言善道的人，以前这样，就是你对仆人说话以后也是这样，因为我是拙口笨舌的。”

摩西对耶和华说：“主啊，求求你，我并不是一个能言善道的人，以前这样，就是你对仆人说话以后也是这样，因为我是拙口笨舌的。”

摩西對永恆主說：『主啊，我不是善於說話的人：昨天不是，前天不是，從你對僕人說話時以後也不是；因為我本是口舌遲鈍的。』

摩西對曰、主歟、我素無才辯、爾語僕之後亦然、訥於口、鈍於舌、

Moses said to the Lord,“ Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”

But Moses said to the Lord,“ Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.”

But Moses pleaded with the Lord,“ O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue tied, and my words get tangled.”

But Moses replied to the LORD,“ Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent— either in the past or recently or since you have been speaking to your servant— because my mouth and my tongue are sluggish.”

Then Moses said to the Lord,“ Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

Then Moses said to the Lord,“ O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

But Moses replied to the Lord,“ Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent— either in the past or recently or since You have been speaking to Your servant— because I am slow and hesitant in speech.”

And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I[ am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I[ am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

Then Moses said to the LORD,“ O my Lord, I am not an eloquent man, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant, for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

Moses said to Yahweh,“ O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”

But Moses said to the Lord,“ The people won’t listen to me. So why would Pharaoh listen to me? After all, I don’t speak very well.”

“ You are my Lord and King,” I said.“ I don’t know how to speak. I’m too young.”

It’s true that I haven’t been trained as a speaker. But I do have knowledge. I’ve made that very clear to you in every way.

Moses answered,“ What if the elders of Israel won’t believe me? What if they won’t listen to me? Suppose they say,‘ The Lord didn’t appear to you.’ Then what should I do?”

Moses was taught all the knowledge of the people of Egypt. He became a powerful speaker and a man of action.

“ You people think you are the only ones who matter! You are sure that wisdom will die with you!

And this was the way it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I didn’t come with fancy words or human wisdom. I preached to you the truth about God’s love.My goal while I was with you was to talk about only one thing. And that was Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.When I came to you, I was weak and very afraid and trembling all over.I didn’t preach my message with clever and compelling words. Instead, my preaching showed the Holy Spirit’s power.

Some say,“ His letters sound important. They are powerful. But in person he doesn’t seem like much. And what he says doesn’t amount to anything.”
