出エジプト記 33

1 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

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go forth, ascend from this place, you and your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To your offspring, I will give it.

2 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

And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,

3 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

and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”

4 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

And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.

5 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

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.”

6 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

Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.

7 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

Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.

8 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

And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.

9 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

And when he had gone into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.

10 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

And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.

11 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

But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.

12 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

Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’

13 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

If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”

14 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

And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”

15 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

And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.

16 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

For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”

17 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

Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”

18 モーセ願くは汝の榮光を我に示したまへと言ければ

And he said, “Show me your glory.”

19 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

He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”

20 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

And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”

21 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

And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.

22 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

And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.

23 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

And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see.”
