Then his people remembered what he did long ago. They recalled the days of Moses and his people. They asked,“ Where is the God who brought Israel through the Red Sea? Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock. Where is the God who put his Holy Spirit among them?

那时，他们想起古时的日子，摩西和他百姓，说：“将百姓和牧养他全群的人从海里领上来的在哪里呢？将他的圣灵降在他们中间的在哪里呢？

那时，他的百姓想起古时摩西的日子：“那将百姓和牧养群羊的人从海里领上来的在哪里呢？那将圣灵降在他们中间，

那时，他的百姓想起古时摩西的日子：“那将百姓和牧养群羊的人从海里领上来的在哪里呢？那将圣灵降在他们中间，

后来，他们想起古时候，想起了摩西和他的百姓，便问，带领百姓及其牧者摩西从海里出来的那位在哪里？将自己的圣灵降在他们中间的那位在哪里？

那时，他们想起古时的日子，就是摩西和他的人民的日子，说：那把人民和他羊群的牧者从海里领上来的，在哪里呢？那把自己的圣灵降在他们中间的，在哪里呢？

那时，他想起古时的日子，就是摩西和他子民的日子：那把他们和他群羊的牧人们从海里带上来的，在哪里呢？那把他的圣灵降在他们当中的，在哪里呢？

那時，他們想起古時的日子－摩西和他百姓，說：將百姓和牧養他全羣的人從海裏領上來的在哪裏呢？將他的聖靈降在他們中間的在哪裏呢？

那時，他的百姓想起古時摩西的日子：「那將百姓和牧養羣羊的人從海裏領上來的在哪裏呢？那將聖靈降在他們中間，

那時，他的百姓想起古時摩西的日子：「那將百姓和牧養羣羊的人從海裏領上來的在哪裏呢？那將聖靈降在他們中間，

後來，他們想起古時候，想起了摩西和他的百姓，便問，帶領百姓及其牧者摩西從海裡出來的那位在哪裡？將自己的聖靈降在他們中間的那位在哪裡？

那時，他們想起古時的日子，就是摩西和他的人民的日子，說：那把人民和他羊群的牧者從海裡領上來的，在哪裡呢？那把自己的聖靈降在他們中間的，在哪裡呢？

於是他們想起往古之日，想起主的僕人摩西，說：那將人民、將看顧他全羣的牧人們從海裏領上來的、在哪裏呢？那將他的聖靈降在他們中間的、在哪裏呢？

那時，他想起古時的日子，就是摩西和他子民的日子：那把他們和他群羊的牧人們從海裡帶上來的，在哪裡呢？那把他的聖靈降在他們當中的，在哪裡呢？

民乃憶及古昔、摩西與其眾民、曰、導民與民之牧、出自海中、賦以聖神者、安在哉、

民憶古昔、摩西與其牧伯、為主所導、至自海濱、賦以聖神、今我主安在哉。

民乃憶古昔、憶摩西、曰、昔主導其民、及牧其民民原文作羊者自海而來、於今安在、昔主賦畀聖神於民、於今安在、

Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people— where is he who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them,

Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses and his people. Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put in the midst of them his Holy Spirit,

Then they remembered those days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They cried out,“ Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea, with Moses as their shepherd? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among his people?

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses,[ and] his people,[ saying], Where[ is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where[ is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?

His people remembered the ancient times. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherd of his flock? Where is the one who placed his holy Spirit among them,

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying,“ Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”

I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you. And I will put it on them. They will share the responsibility of these people with you. Then you will not have to carry it alone.

You led your people like a flock. You led them by the hands of Moses and Aaron.

Then the Lord came down in the cloud. He spoke with Moses. He took some of the power of the Spirit that was on Moses. And he put it on the 70 elders. When the Spirit came on them, they prophesied. But they didn’t do it again.

‘ That is what I promised you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit continues to be with you. So do not be afraid.’ ”

But Moses replied,“ Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the Lord’ s people were prophets. And I wish that the Lord would put his Spirit on them.”

That day the Lord saved Israel from the power of Egypt. The Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.

The people of Israel went through the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and on their left.

Lord, remember your great mercy and love. You have shown them to your people for a long time.

Finally, Daniel came to me. He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god. The spirit of the holy gods is in him. I told him my dream.

He has helped the people of Israel, who serve him. He has always remembered to be kindto Abraham and his children down through the years. He has done it just as he promised to our people of long ago.”

So he said to me,“ A message from the Lord came to Zerubbabel. The Lord said,‘ Your strength will not get my temple rebuilt. Your power will not do it either. Only the power of my Spirit will do it,’ says the Lord who rules over all.

Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear about it. You used your power to bring these people up from among them.And the Egyptians will tell the people who live in Canaan about it. Lord, they have already heard a lot about you. They’ve heard that you are with these people. They’ve heard that you have been seen face to face. They’ve been told that your cloud stays over them. They’ve heard that you go in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day. They’ve been told that you go in front of them in a pillar of fire at night.Suppose you put all these people to death and leave none alive. Then the nations who have heard these things about you will talk. They’ll say,‘ The Lord promised to give these people the land of Canaan. But he wasn’t able to bring them into it. So he killed them in the desert.’“ Now, Lord, show your strength. You have said,‘ I am the Lord. I am slow to get angry. I am full of love. I forgive those who sin. I forgive those who refuse to obey. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sin of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren.’Lord, your love is great. So forgive the sin of these people. Forgive them just as you have done from the time they left Egypt until now.”The Lord replied,“ I have forgiven them, just as you asked.You can be sure that I live. You can be just as sure that my glory fills the whole earth.And here is what you can be just as sure of. Not one of these people will see the land I promised to give them. They have seen my glory. They have seen the signs I did in Egypt. And they have seen what I did in the desert. But they did not obey me. And they have tested me ten times.So not even one of them will ever see the land I promised to give to their people of long ago. The person who has not respected me will never see it.But my servant Caleb has a different spirit. He follows me with his whole heart. So I will bring him into the land he went to. And his children after him will receive land there.The Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys. So turn back tomorrow. Start out toward the desert. Go along the way that leads to the Red Sea.”

Remember how short my life is. You have created all people for such a useless purpose!Who can live and not die? Who can escape the power of the grave?Lord, where is the great love you used to have? You faithfully promised it to David.Lord, remember how my enemies have made fun of me. I’ve had to put up with mean words from all the nations.

But Moses asked the Lord his God to have mercy on the people.“ Lord,” he said,“ why should you destroy your people in anger? You used your great power and mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.Why should the Egyptians say,‘ He brought them out to hurt them. He wanted to kill them in the mountains. He wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn away from your great anger. Please take pity on your people. Don’t destroy them!

You gave them your good Spirit to teach them. You didn’t hold back your manna from their mouths. And you gave them water when they were thirsty.

I thought about days gone by. I thought about the years of long ago.I remembered how I used to sing praise to you in the night. I thought about it, and here is what I asked myself.“ Will the Lord turn away from us forever? Won’t he ever show us his kindness again?Has his faithful love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed for all time?Has God forgotten to help us? Has he held back his tender love because he was angry?”Then I thought,“ Here is what gives me hope. For many years the Most High God showed how powerful he is.Lord, I will remember what you did. Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

All the things I’ve told you about might happen to you. And you will be in trouble. But later you will return to the Lord your God. You will obey him.The Lord your God is tender and loving. He won’t leave you or destroy you. He won’t forget the covenant he made with your people of long ago. He gave his word when he made it.

I remember what happened long ago. I spend time thinking about all your acts. I consider what your hands have done.

Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?

Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?Didn’t you dry up the Red Sea? Didn’t you dry up those deep waters? You made a road on the bottom of that sea. Then those who were set free went across.

They did not ask,‘ Where is the Lord? He brought us up out of Egypt. He led us through a dry and empty land. He guided us through deserts and deep valleys. It was a land of total darkness where there wasn’t any rain. No one lived or traveled there.’

“‘ But suppose you admit that both you and your people who lived before you have sinned. You admit the evil and dishonest things you have done against me. And you admit you have become my enemy.What you did made me become your enemy. I let your enemies take you into their land. But suppose you stop being stubborn. You stop being proud. And you pay for your sin.Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob. I will remember my covenant with Isaac. I will remember my covenant with Abraham. I will remember what I said to them about the land.You will leave the land. It will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies deserted because you are not there. You will pay for your sins because you said no to my laws. You turned away from my rules.But even after all that, I will not say no to you or turn away from you. I will not destroy you completely in the land of your enemies. I will not break my covenant with you. I am the Lord your God.Because of you, I will remember the covenant I made with the people of Israel who lived before you. I brought them out of Egypt to be their God. The nations saw me do it. I am the Lord.’ ”
