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

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 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.”

Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying,“ Behold, the children of Israel haven’t listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, when I have uncircumcised lips?”

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.”Yahweh said to him,“ Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”Moses said,“ Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said,“ What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am just a little child. I don’t know how to go out or come in.Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude.Give your servant therefore 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 Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

Moses said before Yahweh,“ Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?”

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord Yahweh! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying,‘ You will have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”

Then I said,“ Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

Then I said,“ Ah, Lord Yahweh! Behold, the prophets tell them,‘ You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”

Moses answered,“ But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say,‘ Yahweh has not appeared to you.’”
