Then said I:“ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for 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 I said,“ Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because 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.”

And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying,“ The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?”

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.”So the Lord said to him,“ Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”But he said,“ O my Lord, please send by the hand of whomever else You may send.”So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said:“ Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God.

Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; 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, too numerous to be numbered or counted.Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

‘ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

But Moses said before the Lord,“ Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord GOD! Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, Saying,‘ You shall have peace,’ Whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”

So I said:“ Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord God! Behold, the prophets say to them,‘ You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”

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.’”
