So Gideon said to God,“ If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said—

基甸对神说：“你若果照着所说的话，藉我手拯救以色列人，

基甸对上帝说：“你如果真的照你所说的，藉我的手拯救以色列，

基甸对神说：“你如果真的照你所说的，藉我的手拯救以色列，

基甸对上帝说：“若如你所言，你要用我去拯救以色列人，

基甸对神说：“如果你按着你所说的，要藉着我的手拯救以色列人；

基甸對神說：「你若果照着所說的話，藉我手拯救以色列人，

基甸對上帝說：「你如果真的照你所說的，藉我的手拯救以色列，

基甸對神說：「你如果真的照你所說的，藉我的手拯救以色列，

基甸對上帝說：「若如你所言，你要用我去拯救以色列人，

基甸對神說：“如果你按著你所說的，要藉著我的手拯救以色列人；

基甸對上帝說：『你如果照你所說的要藉着我的手來拯救以色列，

基甸謂上帝曰、如爾果循所言、假我手而拯以色列人、

其田求上帝曰、爾嘗有言、必假手於我、援以色列族。

基甸禱天主曰、主若果藉我手拯以色列人、循主所許、

Gideon said to God,“ If you will save Israel by my hand as you have promised—

Gideon said to God,“ You promised you would use me to save Israel.

Then Gideon said to God,“ If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,

Then Gideon said to God,“ If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised,

Then Gideon said to God,“ If you will deliver Israel by me, as you said,

Then Gideon said to God,“ If You are going to save Israel through me, as You have spoken,

And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken,

Then Gideon said to God,“ If You will deliver Israel by my hand, as You said,

And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

Gideon said to God,“ If you really intend to use me to deliver Israel, as you promised, then give me a sign as proof.

Gideon said to God,“ If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,

Then the Lord turned to him and said,“ Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”

As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.

Then Moses answered and said,“ But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say,‘ The Lord has not appeared to you.’”So the Lord said to him,“ What is that in your hand?” He said,“ A rod.”And He said,“ Cast it on the ground.” so he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Reach out your hand and take it by the tail”( and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand),“ that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”Furthermore the Lord said to him,“ Now put your hand in your bosom.” And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow.And He said,“ Put your hand in your bosom again.” So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh.“ Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that they may believe the message of the latter sign.And it shall be, if they do not believe even these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land.”

Then Isaiah said,“ This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?”

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

Then he said to Him,“ If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” And He said,“ I will wait until you come back.”So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.The Angel of God said to him,“ Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so.
