出エジプト記 24

1 又モーセに言たまひけるは汝アロン、ナダブ、アビウおよびイスラエルの七十人の長老とともにヱホバの許に上りきたれ而して汝等遥にたちて拝むべし

He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.

2 モーセ一人ヱホバに近づくべし彼等は近るべからず又民もかれとともに上るべからず

And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”

3 モーセ來りてヱホバの諸の言およびその諸の典例を民に告しに民みな同音に應て云ふヱホバの宣ひし言は皆われらこれを爲べし

Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”

4 モーセ、ヱホバの言をことごとく書記し朝夙に興いでて山の麓に壇を築きイスラエルの十二の支派にしたがひて十二の柱を建て

Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 而してイスラエルの子孫の中の少き人等を遣はしてヱホバに燔祭を献げしめ牛をもて酬恩祭を供へしむ

And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.

6 モーセ時にその血の半をとりて鉢に盛れ又その血の半を壇の上に灌げり

And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.

7 而して契約の書をとりて民に誦きかせたるに彼ら應へて言ふヱホバの宣ふ所は皆われらこれを爲て遵ふべしと

And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”

8 モーセすなはちその血をとりて民に灌ぎて言ふ是すなはちヱホバが此諸の言につきて汝と結たまへる契約の血なり

In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”

9 斯てモーセ、アロン、ナダブ、アビウおよびイスラエルの七十人の長老のぼりゆきて

And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.

10 イスラエルの神を見るにその足の下には透明れる靑玉をもて作れるごとき物ありて耀ける天空にさも似たり

And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.

11 神はイスラエルの此頭人等にその手をかけたまはざりき彼等は神を見又食飮をなせり

Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.

12 茲にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは山に上りて我に來り其處にをれ我わが彼等を敎へんために書しるせる法律と誡命を載るところの石の板を汝に與へん

Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”

13 モーセその從者ヨシユアとともに起あがりモーセのぼりて神の山に至る

Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,

14 時に彼長老等に言けるは我等の汝等に歸るまで汝等は此に待ちをれ視よアロンとホル汝等とともに在り凡て事ある者は彼等にいたるべし

said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”

15 而してモーセ山にのぼりしが雲山を蔽ひをる

And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.

16 すなはちヱホバの榮光シナイ山の上に駐りて雲山を蔽ふこと六日なりしが七日にいたりてヱホバ雲の中よりモーセを呼たまふ

And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.

17 ヱホバの榮光山の嶺に燃る火のごとくにイスラエルの子孫の目に見えたり

Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.

18 モーセ雲の中に入り山に登りモーセ四十日四十夜山に居る

And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
