Exodus 33
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
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
2 I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
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
3 You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
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
4 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their jewelry.
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
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
6 After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
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
7 [When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
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
8 Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
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
9 When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
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
10 When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
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
11 Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred Tent.
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
12 Moses/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with me!
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
13 So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
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
14 Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
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
15 Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
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
16 The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
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
17 Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
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
18 Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
モーセ願くは汝の榮光を我に示したまへと言ければ
19 Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
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
20 But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
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
21 [But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
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
22 When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by.
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
23 Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
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
