Exodus 13
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
爰にヱホバ、モーセに告ていひたまひけるは
2 “Set apart all the firstborn males in order that they may belong to me. The firstborn males of the Israeli people and of their animals will be mine.”
人と畜とを論ず凡てイスラエルの子孫の中の始て生れたる首生をば皆聖別て我に歸せしむべし是わが所屬なればなり
3 Moses/I said to the people, “Do not forget this day! This is the day that you are leaving Egypt. This is the day you [are freed from] being their slaves. Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]. Do not eat any bread that has yeast in it [whenever you celebrate] this day.
モーセ民にいひけるは汝等エジプトを出で奴隸たる家を出るこの日を誌えよヱホバ能ある手をもて汝等を此より導きいだしたまへばなり酵いれたるパンを食ふべからず
4 You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
アビブの月の此日なんぢら出づ
5 Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Hiv, and Jebus [now live], the land that he solemnly promised to give to you, a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY], you must celebrate this festival during this month [every year].
ヱホバ汝を導きてカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人ヒビ人エブス人の地すなはちその汝にあたへんと汝の先祖たちに誓ひたまひし彼乳と蜜の流るる地に至らしめたまはん時なんぢ此月に是禮式を守るべし
6 For seven days the bread that you eat must not have any yeast in it. On the seventh day there must be a festival to [honor] Yahweh.
七日の間なんぢ酵いれぬパンを食ひ第七日にヱホバの節筵をなすべし
7 For seven days do not eat bread that has yeast in it. You should not have any yeast or bread made with yeast anywhere in your land.
酵いれぬパンを七日くらふべし酵いれたるパンを汝の所におくなかれ又汝の境の中にて汝の許にパン酵をおくなかれ
8 On the day [the festival starts], you must tell your children, ‘[We are doing this to remember] what Yahweh did for our ancestors when they left Egypt.
汝その日に汝の子に示して言べし是は吾がエジプトより出る時にヱホバの我に爲したまひし事のためなりと
9 This ritual will remind you how Yahweh brought your ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY]. [The ritual will be like something] you tie on your forehead or on your wrist. It will remind you to recite to others what Yahweh has instructed you.
斯是をなんぢの手におきて記號となし汝の目の間におきて記號となしてヱホバの法律を汝の口に在しむべし其はヱホバ能ある手をもて汝をエジプトより導きいだしたまへばなり
10 So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
是故に年々その期にいたりてこの例をまもるべし
11 Yahweh will bring you into the land where the descendants of Canaan live, just as he promised you and your ancestors that he would do. When he gives that land to you,
ヱホバ汝となんぢの先祖等に誓ひたまひしごとく汝をカナン人の地にみちびきて之を汝に與へたまはん時
12 you must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
汝凡て始て生れたる者及び汝の有る畜の初生を悉く分ちてヱホバに歸せしむべし男牡はヱホバの所屬なるべし
13 You may keep the firstborn male donkeys, but you must buy them back by sacrificing a lamb as a substitute for the donkey. If you do not want to buy back the donkey, you must [kill it by] breaking its neck. You must also buy back every one of your own firstborn sons.
又驢馬の初子は皆羔羊をもて贖ふべしもし贖はずばその頸を折るべし汝の子等の中の長子なる人はみな贖ふべし
14 In the future, when one of your children asks, ‘What does this mean?’, you must say to him, ‘Yahweh brought our ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY], and freed us from being slaves there.
後に汝の子汝に問て是は何なると言ばこれに言べしヱホバ能ある手をもて我等をエジプトより出し奴隸たりし家より出したまへり
15 The king of Egypt stubbornly refused to let them leave his country, so Yahweh killed all the firstborn males in Egypt, both the boys and the firstborn of their livestock. That is why we now sacrifice to Yahweh all the firstborn of our livestock, but we buy back our own firstborn sons.’
當時パロ剛愎にして我等を去しめざりしかばヱホバ、エジプトの國の中の長子たる者を人の長子より畜の初生まで盡く殺したまへり是故に始めて生れし牡を盡くヱホバに犠牲に献ぐ但しわが子等の中の長子は之を贖ふなり
16 I repeat that this ritual will remind you about how Yahweh brought our [ancestors] out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]; it will be like something you tie on your wrist or on your forehead [to remind you of that].”
是をなんぢの手におきて號となし汝の目の間におきて誌となすべしヱホバ能ある手をもて我等をエジプトより導きいだしたまひたればなりと
17 When the king [of Egypt] let the [Israeli] people go, God did not lead them to go through the land of the Philistines. That was a shorter way, but God said, “It would be bad if my people change their minds when they realize that they will have to fight [the Philistines to take their land], and then [decide to] return to Egypt.”
偖パロ民をさらしめし時ペリシテ人の地は近かりけれども神彼等をみちびきて其地を通りたまはざりき其は民戰爭を見ば悔てエジプトに歸るならんと神おもひたまひたればなり
18 Instead, God led them to go around through the desert toward the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). When the Israeli people left Egypt, they were carrying weapons to fight [their enemies].
神紅海の曠野の道より民を導きたまふイスラエルの子孫行伍をたててエジプトの國より出づ
19 Moses/I [had them] take along the bones of Joseph with them/us, because Joseph long ago had made the Israeli people promise solemnly that they would do that. He had said to them, “God will enable your descendants to leave Egypt. When that happens, you must carry my bones with you.”
其時モーセはヨセフの骨を携ふ是はヨセフ神かならず汝らを眷みたまふべければ汝らわが骨を此より携へ出づべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を固く誓せたればなり
20 The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
斯てかれらスコテより進みて曠野の端なるエタム比幕張す
21 [When they traveled] during the daytime, Yahweh went in front of them in a tall [white] cloud to show them the way. During the night, he went in front of them in a tall cloud that looked like a fire. By doing that, he enabled them to travel in the daytime and also at nighttime.
ヱホバかれらの前に往たまひ晝は雲の柱をもてかれらを導き夜は火の柱をもて彼らを照して晝夜往すすましめたまふ
22 The tall cloud did not leave them. It was always in front of them, as a bright white cloud in the daytime and like a fire at night.
民の前に晝は雲の柱を除きたまはず夜は火の柱をのぞきたまはず
