< Exodus 12 >

1 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
ヱホバ、エジプトの國にてモーセとアロンに告ていひたまひけるは
2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
此月を汝らの月の首となせ汝ら是を年の正月となすべし
3 Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.
汝等イスラエルの全會衆に告て言べし此月の十日に家の父たる者おのおの羔羊を取べし即ち家ごとに一箇の羔羊を取べし
4 If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.
もし家族少くして其羔羊を盡すことあたはずばその家の隣なる人とともに人の數にしたがひて之を取べし各人の食ふ所にしたがひて汝等羔羊を計るべし
5 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
汝らの羔羊は疵なき當歳の牡なるべし汝等綿羊あるひは山羊の中よりこれを取べし
6 You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.
而して此月の十四日まで之を守りおきイスラエルの會衆みな薄暮に之を屠り
7 They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
その血をとりて其之を食ふ家の門口の兩旁の橒と鴨居に塗べし
8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
而して此夜その肉を火に炙て食ひ又酵いれぬパンに苦菜をそへて食ふべし
9 Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.
其を生にても水に煮ても食ふなかれ火に炙べし其頭と脛と臓腑とを皆くらへ
10 Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.
其を明朝まで殘しおくなかれ其明朝まで殘れる者は火にて燒つくすべし
11 This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.
なんぢら斯之を食ふべし即ち腰をひきからげ足に鞋を穿き手に杖をとりて急て之を食ふべし是ヱホバの逾越節なり
12 On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
是夜われエジプトの國を巡りて人と畜とを論ずエジプトの國の中の長子たる者を盡く撃殺し又エジプトの諸の神に罰をかうむらせん我はヱホバなり
13 The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
その血なんぢらが居るところの家にありて汝等のために記號とならん我血を見る時なんぢらを逾越すべし又わがエジプトの國を撃つ時災なんぢらに降りて滅ぼすことなかるべし
14 And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
汝ら是日を記念えてヱホバの節期となし世々これを祝ふべし汝等之を常例となして祝ふべし
15 For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
七日の間酵いれぬパンを食ふべしその首の日にパン酵を汝等の家より除け凡て首の日より七日までに酵入たるパンを食ふ人はイスラエルより絶るべきなり
16 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.
且首の日に聖會をひらくべし又第七日に聖會を汝らの中に開け是ふたつの日には何の業をもなすべからず只各人の食ふ者のみ汝等作ることを得べし
17 So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
汝ら酵いれぬパンの節期を守るべし其は此日に我なんぢらの軍隊をエジプトの國より導きいだせばなり故に汝ら常例となして世々是日をまもるべし
18 In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
正月に於てその月の十四日の晩より同月の二十一日の晩まで汝ら酵いれぬパンを食へ
19 For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.
七日の間なんぢらの家にパン酵をおくべからず凡て酵いれたる物を食ふ人は其異邦人たると本國に生れし者たるとを問ず皆イスラエルの聖會より絶るべし
20 You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”
汝ら酵いれたる物は何をも食ふべからず凡て汝らの居處に於ては酵いれぬパンを食ふべし
21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.
是に於てモーセ、イスラエルの長老を盡くまねきて之にいふ汝等その家族に循ひて一頭の羔羊を撿み取り之を屠りて逾越節のために備へよ
22 Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
又牛膝草一束を取て盂の血に濡し盂の血を門口の鴨居および二旁の柱にそそぐべし明朝にいたるまで汝等一人も家の戸をいづるなかれ
23 When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
其はヱホバ、エジプトを撃に巡りたまふ時鴨居と兩旁の柱に血のあるを見ばヱキバ其門を逾越し殺滅者をして汝等の家に入て撃ざらしめたまふべければなり
24 And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.
汝ら是事を例となして汝となんぢの子孫永くこれを守るべし
25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.
汝等ヱホバがその言たまひし如くになんぢらに與へたまはんところの地に至る時はこの禮式をまもるべし
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
若なんぢらの子女この禮式は何の意なるやと汝らに問ば
27 you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
汝ら言ふべし是はヱホバの逾越節の祭祀なりヱホバ、エジプト人を撃たまひし時エジプトにをるイスラエルの子孫の家を逾越てわれらの家を救ひたまへりと民すなはち鞠て拝せり
28 And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
イスラエルの子孫去てヱホバのモーセとアロンに命じたまひしごとくなし斯おこなへり
29 Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.
爰にヱホバ夜半にエジプトの國の中の長子たる者を位に坐するパロの長子より牢獄にある俘虜の長子まで盡く撃たまふ亦家畜の首生もしかり
30 During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.
期有しかばパロとその諸の臣下およびエジプト人みな夜の中に起あがりエジプトに大なる號哭ありき死人あらざる家なかりければなり
31 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
パロすなはち夜の中にモーセとアロンを召ていひけるは汝らとイスラエルの子孫起てわが民の中より出さり汝らがいへる如くに往てヱホバに事へよ
32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”
亦なんぢらが言るごとく汝らの羊と牛をひきて去れ汝らまた我を祝せよと
33 And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”
是においてエジプト人我等みな死ると言て民を催逼て速かに國を去しめんとせしかば
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
民捏粉の未だ酵いれざるを執り捏盤を衣服に包みて肩に負ふ
35 Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.
而してイスラエルの子孫モーセの言のごとく爲しエジプト人に銀の飾物、金の飾物および衣服を乞たるに
36 And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.
ヱホバ、エジプト人をして民をめぐましめ彼等にこれを與へしめたまふ斯かれらエジプト人の物を取り
37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.
斯てイスラエルの子孫ラメセスよりスコテに進みしが子女の外に徒にて歩める男六十萬人ありき
38 And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
又衆多の寄集人および羊牛等はなはだ多の家畜彼等とともに上れり
39 Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.
爰に彼等エジプトより携へいでたる捏粉をもて酵いれぬパンを烘り未だ酵をいれざりければなり是かれらエジプトより逐いだされて濡滞るを得ざりしに由り又何の食糧をも備へざりしに因る
40 Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.
偖イスラエルの子孫のエジプトに住居しその住居の間は四百三十年なりき
41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.
四百三十年の終にいたり即ち其日にヱホバの軍隊みなエジプトの國より出たり
42 Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.
是はヱホバが彼等をエジプトの國より導きいだしたまひし事のためにヱホバの前に守るべき夜なり是はヱホバの夜にしてイスラエルの子孫が皆世々まもるべき者なり
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.
ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに言たまひけるは逾越節の例は是のごとし異邦人はこれを食ふべからず
44 But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.
但し各人の金にて買たる僕は割禮を施して然る後是を食しむべし
45 A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.
外國の客および傭人は之を食ふべからず
46 It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.
一の家にてこれを食ふべしその肉を少も家の外に持いづるなかれ又其骨を折べからず
47 The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.
イスラエルの會衆みな之を守るべし
48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
異邦人なんぢとともに寄居てヱホバの逾越節を守らんとせば其男悉く割禮を受て然る後に近りて守るべし即ち彼は國に生れたる者のごとくなるべし割禮をうけざる人はこれを食ふべからざるなり
49 The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
國に生れたる者にもまた汝らの中に寄居る異邦人にも此法は同一なり
50 Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
イスラエルの子孫みな斯おこなひヱホバのモーセとアロンに命じたまひしごとく爲たり
51 And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
その同じ日にヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫をその軍隊にしたがひてエジプトの國より導きいだしたまへり
