出エジプト記 7
1 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは視よ我汝をしてパロにおけること神のごとくならしむ汝の兄弟アロンは汝の預言者となるべし
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 汝はわが汝に命ずる所を盡く宣べし汝の兄弟アロンはパロに告ることを爲べし彼イスラエルの子孫をその國より出すに至らん
You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 我パロの心を剛愎にして吾徴と奇跡をエジプトの國に多くせん
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 然どパロ汝に聽ざるべし我すなはち吾手をエジプトに加へ大なる罰をほどこして吾軍隊わが民イスラエルの子孫をエジプトの國より出さん
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgements.
5 我わが手をエジプトの上に伸てイスラエルの子孫をエジプト人の中より出す時には彼等我のヱホバなるを知ん
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from amongst them.”
6 モーセとアロン斯おこなひヱホバの命じたまへる如くに然なしぬ
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 そのパロと談論ける時モーセは八十歳アロンは八十三歳なりき
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 パロ汝等に語りて汝ら自ら奇蹟を行へと言時には汝アロンに言べし汝の杖をとりてパロの前に擲てよと其は蛇とならん
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 是に於てモーセとアロンはパロの許にいたりヱホバの命じたまひしごとくに行へり即ちアロンその杖をパロとその臣下の前に擲しに蛇となりぬ
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 斯在しかばパロもまた博士と魔術士を召よせたるにエジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもてかくおこなへり
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 即ち彼ら各人その杖を投たれば蛇となりけるがアロンの杖かれらの杖を呑つくせり
For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 然るにパロの心剛愎になりて彼らに聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
14 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるはパロは心頑にして民を去しむることを拒むなり
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 朝におよびて汝パロの許にいたれ視よ彼は水に臨む汝河の邊にたちて彼を逆ふべし汝かの蛇に化し杖を手にとりて居り
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 彼に言ふべしヘブル人の神ヱホバ我を汝につかはして言しむ吾民を去しめて曠野にて我に事ふることを得せしめよ視よ今まで汝は聽入ざりしなり
You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
17 ヱホバかく言ふ汝これによりて我がヱホバなるを知ん視よ我わが手の杖をもて河の水を撃ん是血に變ずべし
The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 而して河の魚は死に河は臭くならんエジプト人は河の水を飮ことを厭ふにいたるべし
The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 ヱホバまたモーセに言たまはく汝アロンに言へ汝の杖をとりて汝の手をエジプトの上に伸べ流水の上河々の上池塘の上一切の湖水の上に伸て血とならしめよエジプト全國に於て木石の器の中に凡て血あるにいたらん
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 モーセ、アロンすなはちヱホバの命じたまへるごとくに爲り即ち彼パロとその臣下の前にて杖をあげて河の水を撃しに河の水みな血に變じたり
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 是において河の魚死て河臭くなりエジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりき斯エジプト全國に血ありき
The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 エジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもて斯のごとく行へりパロは心頑固にして彼等に聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
23 パロすなはち身をめぐらしてその家に入り此事にも心をとめざりき
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 エジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりしかば皆飮水を得んとて河のまはりを掘たりヱホバ河を撃たまひてより後七日たちぬ
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
