< Exodus 11 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I will cause one more disaster to strike the king of Egypt and all his people [MTY]. After that, he will let you leave. In fact, he will expel you all.
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは我今一箇の災をパロおよびエジプトに降さん然後かれ汝等を此處より去しむべし彼なんぢらを全く去しむるには必ず汝らを此より逐はらはん
2 So now speak to all the [Israeli] people. Tell them to ask all their [Egyptian] neighbors, both men and women, to give them some silver and gold jewelry.”
然ば汝民の耳にかたり男女をしておのおのその隣々に銀の飾品金の飾具を乞しめよと
3 Yahweh made the Egyptians highly respect the Israeli people. In particular, the Egyptian officials and all [the rest of] the people considered Moses/me to be a very great man.
ヱホバつひに民をしてエジプト人の恩を蒙らしめたまふ又その人モーセはエジプトの國にてパロの臣下の目と民の目に甚だ大なる者と見えたり
4 Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,
モーセいひけるはヱホバかく言たまふ夜半頃われ出てエジプトの中に至らん
5 and I will cause all the firstborn/oldest [sons] to die. That will include your oldest son, the oldest sons of the slave women who grind grain, [and the oldest sons of everyone else]. I will also kill the oldest males of the Egyptians’ livestock.
エジプトの國の中の長子たる者は位に坐するパロの長子より磨の後にをる婢の長子まで悉く死べし又獣畜の首出もしかり
6 When that happens, people all over Egypt will wail loudly. They have never wailed like that before, and they will never wail like that again.
而してエジプト全國に大なる號哭あるべし是まで是のごとき事はあらずまた再び斯ること有ざるべし
7 But among the Israeli people [it will be so quiet that] not even a dog will bark! Then you will know for sure that I, Yahweh, distinguish [how I act toward] the Egyptians and [how I act toward] the Israeli people.
然どイスラエルの子孫にむかひては犬もその舌をうごかさじ人にむかひても獣畜にむかひても然り汝等これによりてヱホバがエジプト人とイスラエルのあひだに區別をなしたまふを知べし
8 Then all these officials of yours will come and bow down before me and will say, “Please get out [of Egypt], you and all the Israeli people!”’ After that, I will leave Egypt!” [After Moses/I said that], he/I very angrily left the king.
汝の此臣等みなわが許に下り來てわれを拝し汝となんぢに從がふ民みな出よと言ん然る後われ出べしと烈しく怒りてパロの所より出たり
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king will not pay any attention to what you say. The result will be that I will perform more plagues in the land of Egypt.”
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロ汝に聽ざるべし是をもて吾がエジプトの國に奇蹟をおこなふこと増べし
10 Aaron and Moses/I performed all these miracles in front of the king, but Yahweh made the king stubborn, and he did not let the Israeli people leave his country.
モーセとアロンこの諸の奇蹟をことごとくパロの前に行ひたれどもヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひければ彼イスラエルの子孫をその國より去しめざりき
