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.”

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

But Moses said to the Lord,“ If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips?” (niv)

Moses said to the Lord,“ Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”The Lord said to him,“ Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”But Moses said,“ Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said,“ What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you.You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do.He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. (niv)

“ Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties.Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number.So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” (niv)

“ Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. (niv)

But Moses said to the Lord,“ Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?” (niv)

Then I said,“ Alas, Sovereign Lord! How completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying,‘ You will have peace,’ when the sword is at our throats!” (niv)

“ Woe to me!” I cried.“ I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” (niv)

But I said,“ Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets keep telling them,‘ You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’” (niv)

Moses answered,“ What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say,‘ The Lord did not appear to you’?” (niv)
