Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.
そこでモーセとイスラエルの人々は、この歌を主にむかって歌った。彼らは歌って言った、「主にむかってわたしは歌おう、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた。
2 The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.
主はわたしの力また歌、わたしの救となられた、彼こそわたしの神、わたしは彼をたたえる、彼はわたしの父の神、わたしは彼をあがめる。
3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
主はいくさびと、その名は主。
4 Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.
彼はパロの戦車とその軍勢とを海に投げ込まれた、そのすぐれた指揮者たちは紅海に沈んだ。
5 They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.
大水は彼らをおおい、彼らは石のように淵に下った。
6 Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.
主よ、あなたの右の手は力をもって栄光にかがやく、主よ、あなたの右の手は敵を打ち砕く。
7 When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
あなたは大いなる威光をもって、あなたに立ちむかう者を打ち破られた。あなたが怒りを発せられると、彼らは、わらのように焼きつくされた。
8 By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.
あなたの鼻の息によって水は積みかさなり、流れは堤となって立ち、大水は海のもなかに凝り固まった。
9 Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.
敵は言った、『わたしは追い行き、追い着いて、分捕物を分かち取ろう、わたしの欲望を彼らによって満たそう、つるぎを抜こう、わたしの手は彼らを滅ぼそう』。
10 You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.
あなたが息を吹かれると、海は彼らをおおい、彼らは鉛のように、大水の中に沈んだ。
11 Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
主よ、神々のうち、だれがあなたに比べられようか、だれがあなたのように、聖にして栄えあるもの、ほむべくして恐るべきもの、くすしきわざを行うものであろうか。
12 When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.
あなたが右の手を伸べられると、地は彼らをのんだ。
13 In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.
あなたは、あがなわれた民を恵みをもって導き、み力をもって、あなたの聖なるすまいに伴われた。
14 Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.
もろもろの民は聞いて震え、ペリシテの住民は苦しみに襲われた。
15 The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.
エドムの族長らは、おどろき、モアブの首長らは、わななき、カナンの住民は、みな溶け去った。
16 Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.
恐れと、おののきとは彼らに臨み、み腕の大いなるゆえに、彼らは石のように黙した、主よ、あなたの民の通りすぎるまで、あなたが買いとられた民の通りすぎるまで。
17 You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
あなたは彼らを導いて、あなたの嗣業の山に植えられる。主よ、これこそあなたのすまいとして、みずから造られた所、主よ、み手によって建てられた聖所。
18 The Lord is King for ever and ever.
主は永遠に統べ治められる」。
19 For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.
パロの馬が、その戦車および騎兵と共に海にはいると、主は海の水を彼らの上に流れ返らされたが、イスラエルの人々は海の中のかわいた地を行った。
20 And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.
そのとき、アロンの姉、女預言者ミリアムはタンバリンを手に取り、女たちも皆タンバリンを取って、踊りながら、そのあとに従って出てきた。
21 And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.
そこでミリアムは彼らに和して歌った、「主にむかって歌え、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた」。
22 Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.
さて、モーセはイスラエルを紅海から旅立たせた。彼らはシュルの荒野に入り、三日のあいだ荒野を歩いたが、水を得なかった。
23 And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.
彼らはメラに着いたが、メラの水は苦くて飲むことができなかった。それで、その所の名はメラと呼ばれた。
24 And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?
ときに、民はモーセにつぶやいて言った、「わたしたちは何を飲むのですか」。
25 And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;
モーセは主に叫んだ。主は彼に一本の木を示されたので、それを水に投げ入れると、水は甘くなった。その所で主は民のために定めと、おきてを立てられ、彼らを試みて、
26 And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.
言われた、「あなたが、もしあなたの神、主の声に良く聞き従い、その目に正しいと見られることを行い、その戒めに耳を傾け、すべての定めを守るならば、わたしは、かつてエジプトびとに下した病を一つもあなたに下さないであろう。わたしは主であって、あなたをいやすものである」。
27 And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
こうして彼らはエリムに着いた。そこには水の泉十二と、なつめやしの木七十本があった。その所で彼らは水のほとりに宿営した。
