出エジプト記 15

1 是に於てモーセおよびイスラエルの子孫この歌をヱホバに謡ふ云く我ヱホバを歌ひ頌ん彼は高らかに高くいますなり彼は馬とその乗者を海になげうちたまへり

Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.

2 わが力わが歌はヱホバなり彼はわが救拯となりたまへり彼はわが神なり我これを頌美ん彼はわが父の神なり我これを崇めん

The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.

3 ヱホバは軍人にして其名はヱホバなり

The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.

4 彼パロの戰車とその軍勢を海に投すてたまふパロの勝れたる軍長等は紅海に沈めり

The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.

5 大水かれらを掩ひて彼等石のごとくに淵の底に下る

The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.

6 ヱホバよ汝の右の手は力をもて榮光をあらはすヱホバよ汝の右の手は敵を碎く

Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.

7 汝の大なる榮光をもて汝は汝にたち逆ふ者を滅したまふ汝怒を發すれば彼等は藁のごとくに焚つくさる

And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.

8 汝の鼻の息によりて水積かさなり浪堅く立て岸のごとくに成り大水海の中に凝る

And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.

9 敵は言ふ我追て追つき掠取物を分たん我かれらに因てわが心を飽しめん我劍を抜んわが手かれらを亡さんと

The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’

10 汝氣を吹たまへば海かれらを覆ひて彼等は猛烈き水に鉛のごとくに沈めり

Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.

11 ヱホバよ神の中に誰か汝に如ものあらん誰か汝のごとく聖して榮あり讃べくして威ありて奇事を行なふ者あらんや

Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?

12 汝その右の手を伸たまへば地かれらを呑む

You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.

13 汝はその贖ひし民を恩惠をもて導き汝の力をもて彼等を汝の聖き居所に引たまふ

In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.

14 國々の民聞て慄へペリシテに住む者畏懼を懐く

Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 エドムの君等駭きモアブの剛者戰慄くカナンに住る者みな消うせん

Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.

16 畏懼と戰慄かれらに及ぶ汝の腕の大なるがために彼らは石のごとくに默然たりヱホバよ汝の民の通り過るまで汝の買たまひし民の通り過るまで然るべし

Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.

17 汝民を導きてこれを汝の產業の山に植たまはんヱホバよ是すなはち汝の居所とせんとて汝の設けたまひし者なり主よ是汝の手の建たる聖所なり

You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.

18 ヱホバは世々限なく王たるべし

The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.

19 斯パロの馬その車および騎兵とともに海にいりしにヱホバ海の水を彼等の上に流れ還らしめたまひしがイスラエルの子孫は海の中にありて旱地を通れり

For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”

20 時にアロンの姉なる預言者ミリアム鼗を手にとるに婦等みな彼にしたがひて出で鼗をとり且踊る

And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.

21 ミリアムすなはち彼等に和へて言ふ汝等ヱホバを歌ひ頌よ彼は高らかに高くいますなり彼は馬とその乗者を海に擲ちたまへりと

And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”

22 斯てモーセ紅海よりイスラエルを導きてシユルの曠野にいり曠野に三日歩みたりしが水を得ざりき

Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.

23 彼ら遂にメラにいたりしがメラの水苦くして飮ことを得ざりき是をもて其名はメラ(苦)と呼る

And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.

24 是に於て民モーセにむかひて呟き我儕何を飮んかと言ければ

And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”

25 モーセ、ヱホバに呼はりしにヱホバこれに一本の木を示したまひたれば即ちこれを水に投いれしに水甘くなれり彼處にてヱホバ民のために法度と法律をたてたまひ彼處にてこれを試みて

So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,

26 言たまはく汝もし善く汝の神ヱホバの聲に聽したがひヱホバの口に善と見ることを爲しその誡命に耳を傾けその諸の法度を守ば我わがエジプト人に加へしところのその疾病を一も汝に加へざるべし其は我はヱホバにして汝を醫す者なればなりと

saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”

27 斯て彼等エリムに至れり其處に水の井十二棕櫚七十本あり彼處にて彼等水の傍に幕張す

Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
