Then I said,“ Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.”

我就说：“主耶和华啊，我不知怎样说，因为我是年幼的。”

我就说：“唉！主耶和华，看哪，我不知道怎么说，因为我年轻。”

我就说：“唉！主耶和华，看哪，我不知道怎么说，因为我年轻。”

我回答说：“主耶和华啊，我太年轻，不懂得怎样说话。”

我就说：“主耶和华啊！我不晓得说话，因为我年轻。”

我就說：主耶和華啊，我不知怎樣說，因為我是年幼的。

我就說：「唉！主耶和華，看哪，我不知道怎麼說，因為我年輕。」

我就說：「唉！主耶和華，看哪，我不知道怎麼說，因為我年輕。」

我回答說：「主耶和華啊，我太年輕，不懂得怎樣說話。」

我就說：“主耶和華啊！我不曉得說話，因為我年輕。”

我就說：『啊，主永恆主啊，你看；我不曉得說話，因為我年輕。』

我曰、噫、主耶和華歟、我乃小子、不知所言、

我曰、主耶和華與、渺余小子、不能知所當言。

我曰、主天主歟、我年幼小、不知所當言、

“ Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said,“ I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

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

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”

“ O Sovereign Lord,” I said,“ I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”

But I protested,“ Oh no, Lord GOD! Look, I don’t know how to speak since I am only a youth.”

Then said I:“ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child.

But I protested,“ Oh no, Lord, God! Look, I don’t know how to speak since I am only a youth.”

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I[ am] a child.

I answered,“ Oh, Lord GOD, I really do not know how to speak well enough for that, for I am too young.”

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”

But Moses spoke before the Lord, saying,“ Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, as I am unskilled in speech?”

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.”But the Lord said to him,“ Who has made the human mouth? Or who makes anyone unable to speak or deaf, or able to see or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?Now then go, and I Myself will be with your mouth, and instruct you in what you are to say.”But he said,“ Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will.”Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said,“ Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be overjoyed.So you are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I Myself will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you are to do.He shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.

And now, Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am like a little boy; I do not know how to go out or come in.And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted.So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil. For who is capable of judging this great people of Yours?”

‘ Oh, Lord God! Behold, You Yourself have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You,

But Moses said before the Lord,“ Behold, I am unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”

Then I said,“ Oh, Lord God! Surely You have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying,‘ You will have peace’; yet a sword touches the throat.”

Then I said,“ Woe to me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.”

But I said,“ Oh, Lord God! Behold, the prophets are telling them,‘ You will not see a sword, nor will you have famine; on the contrary, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’ ”

Then Moses said,“ What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say,‘ The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ”
