迨上帝許亞伯拉罕之期已近、民於埃及、滋生蕃衍、

迨上帝誓許亞伯拉罕之期近、我民居埃及者蕃衍、

天主立誓許亞伯拉罕之言、將驗之期、以色列民在伊及增益蕃多、

迨天主所許於亞伯漢者之期將屆、義塞人在埃及日漸蕃衍；

“ As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.

“ In Egypt the number of our people grew and grew. It was nearly time for God to make his promise to Abraham come true.

“ But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt

“ As the time drew near when God would fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt greatly increased.

“ As the time was approaching to fulfill the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people flourished and multiplied in Egypt

“ But as the time of the promise which God had assured to Abraham was approaching, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

“ But when the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

这以色列民的神拣选了我们的祖宗，当民寄居埃及的时候抬举他们，用大能的手领他们出来；

神说：‘他的后裔必寄居外邦，那里的人要叫他们作奴仆，苦待他们四百年。’

神厚待收生婆。以色列人多起来，极其强盛。

耶和华使他的百姓生养众多，使他们比敌人强盛，使敌人的心转去恨他的百姓，并用诡计待他的仆人。

以色列人生养众多，并且繁茂，极其强盛，满了那地。有不认识约瑟的新王起来，治理埃及，对他的百姓说：“看哪，这以色列民比我们还多，又比我们强盛。来吧，我们不如用巧计待他们，恐怕他们多起来，日后若遇什么争战的事，就连合我们的仇敌攻击我们，离开这地去了。”于是埃及人派督工的辖制他们，加重担苦害他们。他们为法老建造两座积货城，就是比东和兰塞。只是越发苦害他们，他们越发多起来，越发蔓延；埃及人就因以色列人愁烦。

亲爱的弟兄啊，有一件事你们不可忘记，就是主看一日如千年，千年如一日。主所应许的尚未成就，有人以为他是耽延，其实不是耽延，乃是宽容你们，不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改。

耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要的确知道，你的后裔必寄居别人的地，又服侍那地的人；那地的人要苦待他们四百年。并且他们所要服侍的那国，我要惩罚，后来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。但你要享大寿数，平平安安地归到你列祖那里，被人埋葬。到了第四代，他们必回到此地，因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈。”
