Exodus 5

1 And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.

その後モーセとアロン入てパロにいふイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我民を去しめ彼等をして曠野に於て我を祭ることをえせしめよと

2 And Pharao said, Who is he that I should listen to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.

パロいひけるはヱホバは誰なればか我その聲にしたがひてイスラエルを去しむべき我ヱホバを識ず亦イスラエルを去しめじ

3 And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us.

彼ら言けるはヘブル人の神我らに顯れたまへり請ふ我等をして三日程ほど曠野にいりてわれらの神ヱホバに犠牲をささぐることをえせしめよ恐くはヱホバ疫病か又は刀兵をもて我らをなやましたまはん

4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.

エジプト王かれらに言けるは汝等モーセ、アロンなんぞ民の操作を妨ぐるや往てなんぢらの荷を負へ

5 And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.

パロまたいふ土民今は多かり然るに汝等かれらをして荷をおふことを止しめんとす

6 And Pharao gave orders to the taskmasters of the people and the accountants, saying,

パロ此日民が驅使ふ者等および民の有司等に命じていふ

7 You shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.

汝等再び前のごとく民に磚瓦を造る禾稈を與ふべからず彼等をして往てみづから禾稈をあつめしめよ

8 And you shall impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: you shall not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.

また彼等が前に造りし磚瓦の數のごとくに仍かれらに之をつくらしめよ其を減すなかれ彼等は懈惰が故に我儕をして往てわれらの神に犠牲をささげしめよと呼はり言ふなり

9 Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.

人々の工作を重くして之に勞かしめよ然ば偽の言を聽ことあらじと

10 And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.

民を驅使ふ者等およびその有司等出ゆきて民にいひけるはパロかく言たまふ我なんぢらに禾稈をあたへじ

11 Go you, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whenever you can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.

汝等往て禾稈のある處にて之をとれ但しなんぢらの工作は分毫も減さざるべしと

12 So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.

是において民遍くエジプトの地に散て草藁をあつめて禾稈となす

13 and the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.

驅使者かれらを促たてて言ふ禾稈のありし時のごとく汝らの工作汝らの日々の業をなしをふべしと

14 And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned, ] men] saying, Why have you not fulfilled your rates of brick work as yesterday and the third day, today also?

パロの驅使者等がイスラエルの子孫の上に立たるところの有司等撻れなんぢら何ぞ昨日も今日も磚瓦を作るところの汝らの業を前のごとくに爲しをへざるやと言る

15 And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why do you act thus to your servants?

是に於てイスラエルの子孫の有司等來りてパロに呼はりて言ふ汝なんぞ斯僕等になすや

16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold your servants have been scourged: you will therefore injure your people.

僕等に禾稈を與へずしてわれらに磚瓦を作れといふ視よ僕等は撻る是なんぢの民の過なりと

17 And he said to them, You are idle, you are idlers: therefore you say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God.

然るにパロいふ汝等は懶惰し懶惰し故に汝らは我らをして往てヱホバに犠牲をささげしめよと言ふなり

18 Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet you shall return the rate of bricks.

然ば汝ら往て操作けよ禾稈はなんぢらに與ふることなかるべけれどなんぢら尚數のごとくに磚瓦を交納むべしと

19 And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, You shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.

イスラエルの子孫の有司等汝等その日々につくる磚瓦を減すべからずと言るを聞て災害の身におよぶを知り

20 And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.

彼らパロをはなれて出たる時モーセとアロンの對面にたてるを見たれば

21 And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made our savor abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to kill us.

之にいひけるは願くはヱホバ汝等を鑒みて鞫きたまへ汝等はわれらの臭をパロの目と彼の僕の目に忌嫌はれしめ刀を彼等の手にわたして我等を殺さしめんとするなりと

22 And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why have you afflicted this people? and therefore have you sent me?

モーセ、ヱホバに返りて言ふわが主よ何て此民をあしくしたまふや何のために我をつかはしたまひしや

23 For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in your name, he has afflicted this people, and you have not delivered your people.

わがパロの許に來りて汝の名をもて語りしよりして彼この民をあしくす汝また絶てなんぢの民をすくひたまはざるなり
