Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.
そこでモーセとイスラエルの人々は、この歌を主にむかって歌った。彼らは歌って言った、「主にむかってわたしは歌おう、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた。
2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
主はわたしの力また歌、わたしの救となられた、彼こそわたしの神、わたしは彼をたたえる、彼はわたしの父の神、わたしは彼をあがめる。
3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
主はいくさびと、その名は主。
4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
彼はパロの戦車とその軍勢とを海に投げ込まれた、そのすぐれた指揮者たちは紅海に沈んだ。
5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
大水は彼らをおおい、彼らは石のように淵に下った。
6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
主よ、あなたの右の手は力をもって栄光にかがやく、主よ、あなたの右の手は敵を打ち砕く。
7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
あなたは大いなる威光をもって、あなたに立ちむかう者を打ち破られた。あなたが怒りを発せられると、彼らは、わらのように焼きつくされた。
8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.
あなたの鼻の息によって水は積みかさなり、流れは堤となって立ち、大水は海のもなかに凝り固まった。
9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
敵は言った、『わたしは追い行き、追い着いて、分捕物を分かち取ろう、わたしの欲望を彼らによって満たそう、つるぎを抜こう、わたしの手は彼らを滅ぼそう』。
10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
あなたが息を吹かれると、海は彼らをおおい、彼らは鉛のように、大水の中に沈んだ。
11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
主よ、神々のうち、だれがあなたに比べられようか、だれがあなたのように、聖にして栄えあるもの、ほむべくして恐るべきもの、くすしきわざを行うものであろうか。
12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
あなたが右の手を伸べられると、地は彼らをのんだ。
13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
あなたは、あがなわれた民を恵みをもって導き、み力をもって、あなたの聖なるすまいに伴われた。
14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
もろもろの民は聞いて震え、ペリシテの住民は苦しみに襲われた。
15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
エドムの族長らは、おどろき、モアブの首長らは、わななき、カナンの住民は、みな溶け去った。
16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
恐れと、おののきとは彼らに臨み、み腕の大いなるゆえに、彼らは石のように黙した、主よ、あなたの民の通りすぎるまで、あなたが買いとられた民の通りすぎるまで。
17 You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
あなたは彼らを導いて、あなたの嗣業の山に植えられる。主よ、これこそあなたのすまいとして、みずから造られた所、主よ、み手によって建てられた聖所。
18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
主は永遠に統べ治められる」。
19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
パロの馬が、その戦車および騎兵と共に海にはいると、主は海の水を彼らの上に流れ返らされたが、イスラエルの人々は海の中のかわいた地を行った。
20 And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
そのとき、アロンの姉、女預言者ミリアムはタンバリンを手に取り、女たちも皆タンバリンを取って、踊りながら、そのあとに従って出てきた。
21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”
そこでミリアムは彼らに和して歌った、「主にむかって歌え、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた」。
22 Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.
さて、モーセはイスラエルを紅海から旅立たせた。彼らはシュルの荒野に入り、三日のあいだ荒野を歩いたが、水を得なかった。
23 And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
彼らはメラに着いたが、メラの水は苦くて飲むことができなかった。それで、その所の名はメラと呼ばれた。
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
ときに、民はモーセにつぶやいて言った、「わたしたちは何を飲むのですか」。
25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
モーセは主に叫んだ。主は彼に一本の木を示されたので、それを水に投げ入れると、水は甘くなった。その所で主は民のために定めと、おきてを立てられ、彼らを試みて、
26 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
言われた、「あなたが、もしあなたの神、主の声に良く聞き従い、その目に正しいと見られることを行い、その戒めに耳を傾け、すべての定めを守るならば、わたしは、かつてエジプトびとに下した病を一つもあなたに下さないであろう。わたしは主であって、あなたをいやすものである」。
27 Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
こうして彼らはエリムに着いた。そこには水の泉十二と、なつめやしの木七十本があった。その所で彼らは水のほとりに宿営した。
