出エジプト記 32
1 茲に民モーセが山を下ることの遅きを見民集りてアロンの許に至り之に言けるは起よ汝われらを導く神を我儕のために作れ其は我らをエジプトの國より導き上りし彼モーセ其人は如何になりしか知ざればなり
When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.”
2 アロンかれらに言けるは汝等の妻と息子息女等の耳にある金の環をとりはづして我に持きたれと
So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 是において民みなその耳にある金の環をとりはづしてアロンの許に持來りければ
All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
4 アロンこれを彼等の手より取り鎚鑿をもて之が形を造りて犢を鋳なしたるに人々言ふイスラエルよ是は汝をエジプトの國より導きのぼりし汝の神なりと
He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 アロンこれを見てその前に壇を築き而してアロン宣告て明日はヱホバの祭禮なりと言ふ
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
6 是において人衆明朝早く起いでて燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を供ふ民坐して飮食し起て戯る
The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
7 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝往て下れよ汝がエジプトの地より導き出せし汝の民は惡き事を行ふなり
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 彼等は早くも我が彼等に命ぜし道を離れ己のために犢を鋳なしてそれを拝み其に犠牲を献げて言ふイスラエルよ是は汝をエジプトの地より導きのぼりし汝の神なりと
They have quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'”
9 ヱホバまたモーセに言たまひけるは我この民を觀たり視よ是は項の強き民なり
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 然ば我を阻るなかれ我かれらに向ひて怒を發して彼等を滅し盡さん而して汝をして大なる國をなさしむべし
Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
11 モ-セその神ヱホバの面を和めて言けるはヱホバよ汝などて彼の大なる權能と強き手をもてエジプトの國より導きいだしたまひし汝の民にむかひて怒を發したまふや
But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 何ぞエジプト人をして斯言しむべけんや曰く彼は禍をくだして彼等を山に殺し地の面より滅し盡さんとて彼等を導き出せしなりと然ば汝の烈き怒を息め汝の民にこの禍を下さんとせしを思ひ直したまへ
Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your people.
13 汝の僕アブラハム、イサク、イスラエルを憶ひたまへ汝は自己さして彼等に誓ひて我天の星のごとくに汝等の子孫を増し又わが言ところの比地をことごとく汝等の子孫にあたへて永くこれを有たしめんと彼等に言たまへりと
Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
14 ヱホバ是においてその民に禍を降んとせしを思ひ直したまへり
Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
15 モーセすなはち身を轉して山より下れりかの律法の二枚の板その手にあり此板はその兩面に文字あり即ち此面にも彼面にも文字あり
Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
16 此板は神の作なりまた文字は神の書にして板に彫つけてあり
The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
17 ヨシユア民の呼はる聲を聞てモーセにむかひ營中に戰爭の聲すと言ければ
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat in the camp.”
18 モーセ言ふ是は勝鬨の聲にあらず又敗北の號呼聲にもあらず我が聞ところのものは歌唱ふ聲なりと
But Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 斯てモ-セ營に近づくに及びて犢と舞跳を見たれば怒を發してその手よりかの板を擲ちこれを山の下に碎けり
When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
20 而して彼等が作りし犢をとりてこれを火に燒き碎きて粉となしてこれを水に撒きイスラエルの子孫に之をのましむ
He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
21 モーセ、アロンに言けるは此民汝に何をなしてか汝かれらに大なる罪を犯させしや
Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
22 アロン言けるは吾主よ怒を發したまふ勿れ此民の惡なるは汝の知ところなり
Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
23 彼等われに言けらく我らを導く神をわれらのために作れ其は我らをエジプトの國より導き上りし彼モーセ其人は如何になりしか知ざればなりと
They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
24 是において我凡て金をもつ者はそれをとりはづせと彼等に言ければ則ちそれを我に與へたり我これを火に投たれば此犢出きたれりと
So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 モーセ民を視るに縦肆に事をなすアロン彼等をして縦肆に事をなさしめたれば彼等はその敵の中に嘲笑となれるなり
Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
26 茲にモーセ營の門に立ち凡てヱホバに歸する者は我に來れと言ければレビの子孫みな集りてかれに至る
Then Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him.
27 モーセすなはち彼等に言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯言たまふ汝等おのおの劍を横たへて門より門と營の中を彼處此處に行めぐりて各人その兄弟を殺し各人その伴侶を殺し各人その隣人を殺すべしと
He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
28 レビの子孫すなはちモーセの言のごとくに爲たればその日民凡三千人殺されたり
The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
29 是に於てモーセ言ふ汝等おのおのその子をもその兄弟をも顧ずして今日ヱホバに身を献げ而して今日福祉を得よ
Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
30 明日モーセ民に言けるは汝等は大なる罪を犯せり今我ヱホバの許に上りゆかんとす我なんちらの罪を贖ふを得ることもあらん
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 モーセすなはちヱホバに歸りて言けるは嗚呼この民の罪は大なる罪なり彼等は自己のために金の神を作れり
Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
32 然どかなはば彼等の罪を赦したまへ然ずば願くは汝の書しるしたまへる書の中より吾名を抹さりたまへ
But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
33 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは凡てわれに罪を犯す者をば我これをわが書より抹さらん
Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
34 然ば今往て民を我が汝につげたる所に導けよ吾使者汝に先だちて往ん但しわが罰をなこなふ日には我かれらの罪を罰せん
So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 ヱホバすなはち民を撃たまへり是はかれら犢を造りたるに因る即ちアロンこれを造りしなり
Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
