出エジプト記 32
1 茲に民モーセが山を下ることの遅きを見民集りてアロンの許に至り之に言けるは起よ汝われらを導く神を我儕のために作れ其は我らをエジプトの國より導き上りし彼モーセ其人は如何になりしか知ざればなり
Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.”
2 アロンかれらに言けるは汝等の妻と息子息女等の耳にある金の環をとりはづして我に持きたれと
And Aaron said to them, “Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 是において民みなその耳にある金の環をとりはづしてアロンの許に持來りければ
And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.
4 アロンこれを彼等の手より取り鎚鑿をもて之が形を造りて犢を鋳なしたるに人々言ふイスラエルよ是は汝をエジプトの國より導きのぼりし汝の神なりと
And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.”
5 アロンこれを見てその前に壇を築き而してアロン宣告て明日はヱホバの祭禮なりと言ふ
And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.”
6 是において人衆明朝早く起いでて燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を供ふ民坐して飮食し起て戯る
And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
7 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝往て下れよ汝がエジプトの地より導き出せし汝の民は惡き事を行ふなり
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.
8 彼等は早くも我が彼等に命ぜし道を離れ己のために犢を鋳なしてそれを拝み其に犠牲を献げて言ふイスラエルよ是は汝をエジプトの地より導きのぼりし汝の神なりと
They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’”
9 ヱホバまたモーセに言たまひけるは我この民を觀たり視よ是は項の強き民なり
And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
10 然ば我を阻るなかれ我かれらに向ひて怒を發して彼等を滅し盡さん而して汝をして大なる國をなさしむべし
Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you a great nation.”
11 モ-セその神ヱホバの面を和めて言けるはヱホバよ汝などて彼の大なる權能と強き手をもてエジプトの國より導きいだしたまひし汝の民にむかひて怒を發したまふや
Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?
12 何ぞエジプト人をして斯言しむべけんや曰く彼は禍をくだして彼等を山に殺し地の面より滅し盡さんとて彼等を導き出せしなりと然ば汝の烈き怒を息め汝の民にこの禍を下さんとせしを思ひ直したまへ
I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of your people.
13 汝の僕アブラハム、イサク、イスラエルを憶ひたまへ汝は自己さして彼等に誓ひて我天の星のごとくに汝等の子孫を増し又わが言ところの比地をことごとく汝等の子孫にあたへて永くこれを有たしめんと彼等に言たまへりと
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’”
14 ヱホバ是においてその民に禍を降んとせしを思ひ直したまへり
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
15 モーセすなはち身を轉して山より下れりかの律法の二枚の板その手にあり此板はその兩面に文字あり即ち此面にも彼面にも文字あり
And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
16 此板は神の作なりまた文字は神の書にして板に彫つけてあり
and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.
17 ヨシユア民の呼はる聲を聞てモーセにむかひ營中に戰爭の聲すと言ければ
Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard in the camp.”
18 モーセ言ふ是は勝鬨の聲にあらず又敗北の號呼聲にもあらず我が聞ところのものは歌唱ふ聲なりと
But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”
19 斯てモ-セ營に近づくに及びて犢と舞跳を見たれば怒を發してその手よりかの板を擲ちこれを山の下に碎けり
And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of the mountain.
20 而して彼等が作りし犢をとりてこれを火に燒き碎きて粉となしてこれを水に撒きイスラエルの子孫に之をのましむ
And seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.
21 モーセ、アロンに言けるは此民汝に何をなしてか汝かれらに大なる罪を犯させしや
And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”
22 アロン言けるは吾主よ怒を發したまふ勿れ此民の惡なるは汝の知ところなり
And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.
23 彼等われに言けらく我らを導く神をわれらのために作れ其は我らをエジプトの國より導き上りし彼モーセ其人は如何になりしか知ざればなりと
They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.’
24 是において我凡て金をもつ者はそれをとりはづせと彼等に言ければ則ちそれを我に與へたり我これを火に投たれば此犢出きたれりと
And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
25 モーセ民を視るに縦肆に事をなすアロン彼等をして縦肆に事をなさしめたれば彼等はその敵の中に嘲笑となれるなり
Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among their enemies),
26 茲にモーセ營の門に立ち凡てヱホバに歸する者は我に來れと言ければレビの子孫みな集りてかれに至る
and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 モーセすなはち彼等に言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯言たまふ汝等おのおの劍を横たへて門より門と營の中を彼處此處に行めぐりて各人その兄弟を殺し各人その伴侶を殺し各人その隣人を殺すべしと
And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”
28 レビの子孫すなはちモーセの言のごとくに爲たればその日民凡三千人殺されたり
And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-three thousand men.
29 是に於てモーセ言ふ汝等おのおのその子をもその兄弟をも顧ずして今日ヱホバに身を献げ而して今日福祉を得よ
And Moses said: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may be given to you.”
30 明日モーセ民に言けるは汝等は大なる罪を犯せり今我ヱホバの許に上りゆかんとす我なんちらの罪を贖ふを得ることもあらん
Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”
31 モーセすなはちヱホバに歸りて言けるは嗚呼この民の罪は大なる罪なり彼等は自己のために金の神を作れり
And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,
32 然どかなはば彼等の罪を赦したまへ然ずば願くは汝の書しるしたまへる書の中より吾名を抹さりたまへ
or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that you have written.”
33 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは凡てわれに罪を犯す者をば我これをわが書より抹さらん
And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from my book.
34 然ば今往て民を我が汝につげたる所に導けよ吾使者汝に先だちて往ん但しわが罰をなこなふ日には我かれらの罪を罰せん
But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”
35 ヱホバすなはち民を撃たまへり是はかれら犢を造りたるに因る即ちアロンこれを造りしなり
Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.
