出エジプト記 33

1 茲にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝と汝がエジプトの國より導き上りし民此を起いでて我がアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひて之を汝の子孫に與へんと言しその地に上るべし

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt. Go to the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.'

2 我一の使を遣して汝に先だたしめん我カナン人アモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人を逐はらひ

I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

3 なんぢらをして乳と蜜の流るる地にいたらしむべし我は汝の中にをりては共に上らじ汝は項の強き民なれば恐くは我途にて汝を滅すにいたらん

Go to that land, which is flowing with milk and honey, but I will not go up with you, because you are a stubborn people. I might destroy you on the way.”

4 民この惡き告を聞て憂へ一人もその妝飾を身につくる者なし

When the people heard these troubling words, they mourned, and no one put on any jewelry.

5 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるはイスラエルの子孫に言へ汝等は項の強き民なり我もし一刻も汝の中にありて往ば汝を滅すにいたらん然ば今汝らの妝飾を身より取すてよ然せば我汝に爲べきことを知んと

Yahweh had said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, 'You are a stubborn people. If I went among you for even one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your jewelry so that I may decide what to do with you.'”

6 是をもてイスラエルの子孫ホレブ山より以來はその妝飾を取すてて居ぬ

So the Israelites wore no jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 モーセ幕屋をとりてこれを營の外に張て營と遥に離れしめ之を集會の幕屋と名けたり凡てヱホバに求むることのある者は出ゆきて營の外なるその集會の幕屋にいたる

Moses took a tent and pitched it outside the camp, some distance from the camp. He called it the tent of meeting. Everyone who asked Yahweh for anything went out to the tent of meeting, outside the camp.

8 モーセの出て幕屋にいたる時には民みな起あがりてモーセが幕屋にいるまで各々その天幕の門口に立てかれを見る

When Moses would go out to the tent, all the people would stand up at their tent entrances and look at Moses until he had gone inside.

9 モーセ幕屋にいれば雲の柱くだりて幕屋の門口に立つ而してヱホバ、モーセとものいひたまふ

Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stand at the tent entrance, and Yahweh would speak with Moses.

10 民みな幕屋の門口に雲の柱の立つを見れば民みな起て各人その天幕の門口にて拝をなす

Whenever all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the entrance to the tent, they would get up and worship, every man at his own tent entrance.

11 人がその友に言談ごとくにヱホバ、モーセと面をあはせてものいひたまふモーセはその天幕に歸りしがその僕なる少者ヌンの子ヨシユアは幕屋を離れざりき

Yahweh would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, would stay in the tent.

12 茲にモーセ、ヱホバに言けるは視たまへ汝はこの民を導き上れと我に言たまひながら誰を我とともに遣したまふかを我にしらしめたまはず汝かつて言たまひけらく我名をもて汝を知る汝はまた我前に恩を得たりと

Moses said to Yahweh, “See, you have been saying to me, 'Take this people on their journey,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my eyes.'

13 然ば我もし誠に汝の目の前に恩を得たらば願くは汝の道を我に示して我に汝を知しめ我をして汝の目の前に恩を得せしめたまへ又汝この民の汝の有なるを念たまへ

Now if I have found favor in your eyes, show me your ways so that I may know you and continue to find favor in your eyes. Remember that this nation is your people.”

14 ヱホバ言たまひけるは我親汝と共にゆくべし我汝をして安泰にならしめん

Yahweh answered, “My own presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 モーセ、ヱホバに言けるは汝もしみづから行たまはずは我等を此より上らしめたまふ勿れ

Moses said to him, “If your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here.

16 我と汝の民とが汝の目の前に恩を得ることは如何にして知るべきや是汝が我等とともに往たまひて我と汝の民とが地の諸の民に異る者となるによるにあらずや

For otherwise, how will it be known that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Will it not only be if you go with us so that I and your people are different from all the other peoples that are on the surface of the earth?”

17 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝が言るこの事をも我爲ん汝はわが目の前に恩を得たればなり我名をもて汝を知なり

Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have requested, for you have found favor in my eyes, and I know you by name.”

18 モーセ願くは汝の榮光を我に示したまへと言ければ

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”

19 ヱホバ言たまはく我わが諸の善を汝の前に通らしめヱホバの名を汝の前に宣ん我は惠んとする者を惠み憐まんとする者を憐むなり

Yahweh said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim my name 'Yahweh' before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

20 又言たまはく汝はわが面を見ることあたはず我を見て生る人あらざればなり

But Yahweh said, “You may not see my face, for no one can see me and live.”

21 而してヱホバ言たまひけるは視よ我が傍に一の處あり汝磐の上に立べし

Yahweh said, “See, here is a place by me; you will stand on this rock.

22 吾榮光其處を過る時に我なんぢを磐の穴にいれ我が過る時にわが手をもて汝を蔽はん

While my glory passes by, I will put you in a crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

23 而してわが手を除る時に汝わが背後を見るべし吾面は見るべきにあらず

Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be seen.”
