出エジプト記 9
1 爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロの所にいりてかれに告よヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我につかふることをえせしめよ
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people, to sacrifice to me.
2 汝もし彼等をさらしむることを拒みて尚かれらを拘留へなば
But if you still refuse, and you retain them,
3 ヱホバの手野にをる汝の家畜馬驢馬駱駝牛および羊に加はらん即ち甚だ惡き疾あるべし
behold, my hand will be over your fields. And a very grievous pestilence will be upon the horses, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the oxen, and the sheep.
4 ヱホバ、イスラエルの家畜とエジプトの家畜とを別ちたまはんイスラエルの子孫に屬する者は死る者あらざるべしと
And the Lord will cause a miracle between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, so that nothing at all will perish from those things which belong to the sons of Israel.”
5 ヱホバまた期をさだめて言たまふ明日ヱホバこの事を國になさんと
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: “Tomorrow, the Lord will accomplish this word in the land.”
6 明日ヱホバこの事をなしたまひければエジプトの家畜みな死り然どイスラエルの子孫の家畜は一も死ざりき
Therefore, the Lord accomplished this word the next day. And all the animals of the Egyptians died. Yet truly, of the animals of the sons of Israel, nothing at all perished.
7 パロ人をつかはして見さしめたるにイスラエルの家畜は一頭だにも死ざりき然どもパロは心剛愎にして民をさらしめざりき
And Pharaoh sent to see; neither was there anything dead of those things that Israel possessed. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not release the people.
8 またヱホバ、モーセとアロンにいひたまひけるは汝等竃爐の灰を一握とれ而してモーセ、パロの目の前にて天にむかひて之をまきちらすべし
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: “Take handfuls of ashes from the oven, and let Moses sprinkle it into the air, in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 其灰エジプト全國に塵となりてエジプト全國の人と畜獣につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物とならんと
And let there be dust upon all the land of Egypt. For there will be sores and swelling pustules on men and on beasts, throughout the entire land of Egypt.”
10 彼等すなはち竃爐の灰をとりてパロの前に立ちモーセ天にむかひて之をまきちらしければ人と獣畜につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物となれり
And they took ashes from the oven, and they stood in the sight of Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it in the air. And there came sores with swelling pustules on men and on beasts.
11 法術士等はその腫物のためにモーセの前に立つことを得ざりき腫物は法術士等よりして諸のエジプト人にまで生じたり
Neither could the sorcerers stand in the sight of Moses, because of the sores that were on them and on all the land of Egypt.
12 然どヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたれば彼らに聽ざりきヱホバのモーセに言給ひし如し
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord said to Moses.
13 爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは朝早くおきてパロの前にたちて彼に言へヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我に事ふるをえせしめよ
And the Lord said to Moses: “Rise up in the morning, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
14 我此度わが諸の災害を汝の心となんぢの臣下およびなんぢの民に降し全地に我ごとき者なきことを汝に知しめん
For at this turn, I will send all my plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants, and upon your people. So may you know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 我もしわが手を伸べ疫病をもて汝となんぢの民を撃たらば汝は地より絶れしならん
For now, extending my hand, I shall strike you and your people with pestilence, and you will perish from the earth.
16 抑わが汝をたてたるは即ちなんぢをしてわが權能を見さしめわが名を全地に傳へんためなり
But it was for this reason that I appointed you, so that I may reveal my strength by you, and so that my name may be described throughout all the earth.
17 汝なほ吾民の前に立ふさがりて之を去しめざるや
Do you still retain my people, and are you still unwilling to release them?
18 視よ明日の今頃我はなはだ大なる雹を降すべし是はエジプトの開國より今までに嘗てあらざりし者なり
So then, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will rain down exceedingly great hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, even until this present time.
19 然ば人をやりて汝の家畜および凡て汝が野に有る物を集めよ人も獣畜も凡て野にありて家に歸らざる者は雹その上にふりくだりて死るにたらん
Therefore, send immediately and gather together your cattle, and all that you have in the field. For men and beasts, and all things that will be found outside, not gathered in from the fields, and on which the hail will fall, shall die.’”
20 パロの臣下の中ヱホバの言を畏る者はその僕と家畜を家に逃いらしめしが
He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh caused his servants and cattle to flee together into the houses.
21 ヱホバの言を意にとめざる者はその僕と家畜を野に置り
But he who neglected the word of the Lord released his servants and cattle into the fields.
22 ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝の手を天に舒てエジプト全國に雹あらしめエジプトの國中の人と獣畜と田圃の諸の蔬にふりくだらしめよと
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky, so that there may be hail in the entire land of Egypt, on men, and on beasts, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”
23 モーセ天にむかひて杖を舒たればヱホバ雷と雹を遣りたまふ又火いでて地に馳すヱホバ雹をエジプトの地に降せたまふ
And Moses extended his staff into the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and also lightning dashing across the earth. And the Lord rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 斯雹ふり又火の塊雹に雑りて降る甚だ勵しエジプト全國には其國を成てよりこのかた未だ斯る者あらざりしなり
And the hail and intermingled fire drove on together. And it was of such magnitude as had never before been seen in the entire land of Egypt, from the time when that nation was formed.
25 雹エジプト全國に於て人と獣畜とをいはず凡て田圃にをる者を撃り雹また田圃の諸の蔬を撃ち野の諸の樹を折り
And the hail struck, throughout all the land of Egypt, everything that was in the fields, from man even to beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field, and it broke every tree of the region.
26 唯イスラエルの子孫のをるゴセンの地には雹あらざりき
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, did the hail not fall.
27 是に於てパロ人をつかはしてモーセとアロンを召てこれに言けるは我此度罪ををかしたりヱホバは義く我とわが民は惡し
And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: “I have sinned even until now. The Lord is just. I and my people are impious.
28 ヱホバに願ひてこの神鳴と雹を最早これにて足しめよ我なんぢらを去しめん汝等今は留るにおよばず
Pray to the Lord, so that the thundering of God and the hail may cease, so that I may release you, and so that you may by no means remain here any longer.”
29 モーセかれに曰けるは我邑より出て我手をヱホバに舒ひろげん然ば雷やみて雹かさねてあらざるべし斯して地はヱホバの所屬なるを汝にしらしめん
Moses said: “When I have departed from the city, I will extend my hands to the Lord, and the thunders will cease, and the hail will not be, so that you may know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30 然ど我しる汝となんぢの臣下等はなほヱホバ神を畏れざるならんと
But I know that both you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord God.”
31 偖麻と大麥は撃れたり大麥は穂いで麻は花さきゐたればなり
And so, the flax and the barley were damaged, because the barley was growing, and the flax was already developing grains.
32 然ど小麥と裸麥は未だ長ざりしによりて撃れざりき
But the wheat and the spelt were not damaged, because they were late.
33 モーセ、パロをはなれて邑より出でヱホバにむかひて手をのべひろげたれば雷と雹やみて雨地にふらずなりぬ
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh out of the city, reached out his hands toward the Lord. And the thunders and hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the land.
34 然るにパロ雨と雹と雷鳴のやみたるを見て復も罪を犯し其心を剛硬にす彼もその臣下も然り
Then Pharaoh, seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, added to his sin.
35 即ちパロは心剛愎にしてイスラエルの子孫を去しめざりきヱホバのモーセによりて言たまひしごとし
And his heart was weighed down, along with that of his servants, and it was hardened exceedingly. Neither did he release the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses.
