Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.
その後モーセとアロン入てパロにいふイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我民を去しめ彼等をして曠野に於て我を祭ることをえせしめよと
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.
パロいひけるはヱホバは誰なればか我その聲にしたがひてイスラエルを去しむべき我ヱホバを識ず亦イスラエルを去しめじ
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
彼ら言けるはヘブル人の神我らに顯れたまへり請ふ我等をして三日程ほど曠野にいりてわれらの神ヱホバに犠牲をささぐることをえせしめよ恐くはヱホバ疫病か又は刀兵をもて我らをなやましたまはん
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Therefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
エジプト王かれらに言けるは汝等モーセ、アロンなんぞ民の操作を妨ぐるや往てなんぢらの荷を負へ
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
パロまたいふ土民今は多かり然るに汝等かれらをして荷をおふことを止しめんとす
6 And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
パロ此日民が驅使ふ者等および民の有司等に命じていふ
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick as formerly. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
汝等再び前のごとく民に磚瓦を造る禾稈を與ふべからず彼等をして往てみづから禾稈をあつめしめよ
8 And the number of the bricks, which they made formerly, ye shall lay upon them. Ye shall not diminish any of it. For they are idle, therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
また彼等が前に造りし磚瓦の數のごとくに仍かれらに之をつくらしめよ其を減すなかれ彼等は懈惰が故に我儕をして往てわれらの神に犠牲をささげしめよと呼はり言ふなり
9 Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard lying words.
人々の工作を重くして之に勞かしめよ然ば偽の言を聽ことあらじと
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
民を驅使ふ者等およびその有司等出ゆきて民にいひけるはパロかく言たまふ我なんぢらに禾稈をあたへじ
11 Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it, for none of your work shall be diminished.
汝等往て禾稈のある處にて之をとれ但しなんぢらの工作は分毫も減さざるべしと
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
是において民遍くエジプトの地に散て草藁をあつめて禾稈となす
13 And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
驅使者かれらを促たてて言ふ禾稈のありし時のごとく汝らの工作汝らの日々の業をなしをふべしと
14 And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and today, in making brick as formerly?
パロの驅使者等がイスラエルの子孫の上に立たるところの有司等撻れなんぢら何ぞ昨日も今日も磚瓦を作るところの汝らの業を前のごとくに爲しをへざるやと言る
15 Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why do thou deal thus with thy servants?
是に於てイスラエルの子孫の有司等來りてパロに呼はりて言ふ汝なんぞ斯僕等になすや
16 There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick. And, behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault it in thine own people.
僕等に禾稈を與へずしてわれらに磚瓦を作れといふ視よ僕等は撻る是なんぢの民の過なりと
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle. Therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.
然るにパロいふ汝等は懶惰し懶惰し故に汝らは我らをして往てヱホバに犠牲をささげしめよと言ふなり
18 Go therefore now, and work, for there shall no straw be given you, yet ye shall deliver the number of bricks.
然ば汝ら往て操作けよ禾稈はなんぢらに與ふることなかるべけれどなんぢら尚數のごとくに磚瓦を交納むべしと
19 And the officers of the sons of Israel saw that they were in affliction, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, your daily tasks.
イスラエルの子孫の有司等汝等その日々につくる磚瓦を減すべからずと言るを聞て災害の身におよぶを知り
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh,
彼らパロをはなれて出たる時モーセとアロンの對面にたてるを見たれば
21 and they said to them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge, because ye have made our fragrance to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
之にいひけるは願くはヱホバ汝等を鑒みて鞫きたまへ汝等はわれらの臭をパロの目と彼の僕の目に忌嫌はれしめ刀を彼等の手にわたして我等を殺さしめんとするなりと
22 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Lord, why have thou dealt ill with this people? Why is it that thou have sent me?
モーセ、ヱホバに返りて言ふわが主よ何て此民をあしくしたまふや何のために我をつかはしたまひしや
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has dealt ill with this people, neither have thou delivered thy people at all.
わがパロの許に來りて汝の名をもて語りしよりして彼この民をあしくす汝また絶てなんぢの民をすくひたまはざるなり
