Was it I who conceived all this people? Or did I give birth to them, that You should say to me,‘ Carry them in your arms, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers’?

这百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去。’

这众百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱着吃奶的婴孩，一直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的土地去。’

这众百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱着吃奶的婴孩，一直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的土地去。’

难道他们是我的骨肉，是我生的吗？为什么你要我像父亲呵护儿子一样，把他们抱到你应许给他们祖先的地方呢？

这人民岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生的吗？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，像养育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们列祖的地方去。’

這百姓豈是我懷的胎，豈是我生下來的呢？你竟對我說：『把他們抱在懷裏，如養育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓應許給他們祖宗的地去。』

這眾百姓豈是我懷的胎，豈是我生下來的呢？你竟對我說：『把他們抱在懷裏，如養育之父抱着吃奶的嬰孩，一直抱到你起誓應許給他們祖宗的土地去。』

這眾百姓豈是我懷的胎，豈是我生下來的呢？你竟對我說：『把他們抱在懷裏，如養育之父抱着吃奶的嬰孩，一直抱到你起誓應許給他們祖宗的土地去。』

難道他們是我的骨肉，是我生的嗎？為什麼你要我像父親呵護兒子一樣，把他們抱到你應許給他們祖先的地方呢？

這人民豈是我懷的胎，豈是我生的嗎？你竟對我說：‘把他們抱在懷裡，像養育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓應許給他們列祖的地方去。’

我何曾將這眾民懷胎過？何曾生下他們來呢？而你竟對我說：「把他們抱在懷裏，像養育之父抱喫奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓應許他們祖宗的土地」啊？

斯民豈我所孕、豈我所育、爾乃謂我、汝其抱之於懷、猶父之懷乳子、攜至誓許其祖之地、

我豈生育斯民哉、奚可使我提抱、猶父之懷赤子、攜至爾所許其祖之地乎。

主使我懷抱此眾民、如父母之懷抱嬰孩、攜至主所誓賜其祖之地、我豈妊之乎、我豈產之乎、

Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me,‘ Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land that you swore to give their fathers?

Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will bow down to you with their faces to the ground And lick the dust from your feet; And you will know that I am the Lord; Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.

And it shall be when the Lord brings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this rite in this month.

Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, In His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in the fold of His robe; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ I am about to die, but God will assuredly take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children,

Live for a time in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham.

“ Then I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.

“ I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

“ Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.

My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

and said,“ By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand, which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.

for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
