出エジプト記 10
1 爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロの所に入れ我かれの心とその臣下の心を剛硬にせり是はわが此等の徴を彼等の中に示さんため
And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
2 又なんぢをして吾がエジプトにて行ひし事等すなはち吾がエジプトの中にてなしたる徴をなんぢの子となんぢの子の子の耳に語らしめんためなり斯して汝等わがヱホバなるを知べし
and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
3 モーセとアロン、パロの所にいりて彼にいひけるはヘブル人の神ヱホバかく言たまふ何時まで汝は我に降ることを拒むや我民をさらしめて我に事ふることをえせしめよ
Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
4 汝もしわが民を去しむることを拒まば明日我蝗をなんぢの境に入しめん
But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
5 蝗地の面を蔽て人地を見るあたはざるべし蝗かの免かれてなんぢに遺れる者すなはち雹に打のこされたる者を食ひ野に汝らのために生る諸の樹をくらはん
And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
6 又なんぢの家となんぢの臣下の家々および凡のエジプト人の家に滿べし是はなんぢの父となんぢの父の父が世にいでしより今日にいたるまで未だ嘗て見ざるものなりと斯て彼身をめぐらしてパロの所よりいでたり
And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
7 時にパロの臣下パロにいひけるは何時まで此人われらの羂となるや人々を去しめてその神ヱホバに事ふることをえせしめよ汝なほエジプトの滅ぶるを知ざるやと
Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
8 是をもてモーセとアロンふたたび召れてパロの許にいたるにパロかれらにいふ往てなんぢらの神ヱホバに事よ但し往く者は誰と誰なるや
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
9 モーセいひけるは我等は幼者をも老者をも子息をも息女をも挈へて往き羊をも牛をもたづさへて往くべし其は我らヱホバの祭禮をなさんとすればなり
Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
10 パロかれらにいひけるは我汝等となんぢらの子等を去しむる時はヱホバなんぢらと偕に在れ愼めよ惡き事なんぢらの面のまへにあり
And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
11 そは宜からず汝ら男子のみ往てヱホバに事よ是なんぢらが求むるところなりと彼等つひにパロの前より逐いださる
It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
12 爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝の手をエジプトの地のうへに舒て蝗をエジプトの國にのぞませて彼の雹が打殘したる地の諸の蔬を悉く食しめよ
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
13 モーセすなはちエジプトの地の上に其杖をのべければヱホバ東風をおこしてその一日一夜地にふかしめたまひしが東風朝におよびて蝗を吹きたりて
And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
14 蝗エジプト全國にのぞみエジプトの四方の境に居て害をなすこと太甚し是より先には斯のごとき蝗なかりし是より後にもあらざるべし
And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
15 蝗全國の上を蔽ひければ國暗くなりぬ而して蝗地の諸の蔬および雹の打殘せし樹の菓を食ひたればエジプト全國に於て樹にも田圃の蔬にも靑き者とてはのこらざりき
And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
16 是をもてパロ急ぎモーセとアロンを召て言ふ 我なんちらの神ヱホバと汝等とにむかひて罪ををかせり
For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 然ば請ふ今一次のみ吾罪を宥してなんぢらの神ヱホバに願ひ唯此死を我より取はなさしめよと
But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
18 彼すなはちパロの所より出てヱホバにねがひければ
And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
19 ヱホバはなはだ強き西風を吹めぐらせて蝗を吹はらはしめ之を紅海に驅いれたまひてエジプトの四方の境に蝗ひとつも遺らざるにいたれり
And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
20 然れどもヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたればイスラエルの子孫をさらしめざりき
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
21 ヱホバまたモーセにいひたまひけるは天にむかひて汝の手を舒べエジプトの國に黑暗を起すべし其暗黑は摸るべきなりと
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
22 モーセすなはち天にむかひて手を舒ければ稠密黑暗三日のあひだエジプト全國にありて
And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23 三日の間は人々たがひに相見るあたはず又おのれの處より起ものなかりき然どイスラエルの子孫の居處には皆光ありき
No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
24 是に於てパロ、モーセを呼ていひけるは汝等ゆきてヱホバに事よ唯なんぢらの羊と牛を留めおくべし汝らの子女も亦なんぢらとともに往べし
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
25 モーセいひけるは汝また我等の神ヱホバに献ぐべき犠牲と燔祭の物をも我儕に與ふべきなり
Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
26 われらの家畜もわれらとともに往べし一蹄も後にのこすべからず其は我等その中を取てわれらの神ヱホバに事べきが故なりまたわれら彼處にいたるまでは何をもてヱホバに事ふべきかを知ざればなりと
All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
27 然れどもヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたればパロかれらをさらしむることを肯ぜざりき
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
28 すなはちパロ、モーセに言ふ我をはなれて去よ自ら愼め重てわが面を見るなかれ汝わが面を見る日には死べし
And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
29 モーセいひけるは汝の言ふところは善し我重て復なんぢの面を見ざるべし
Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
