Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
モーセ對へていひけるは然ながら彼等我を信ぜず又わが言に聽したがはずして言んヱホバ汝にあらはれたまはずと
2 And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
ヱホバかれにいひたまひけるは汝の手にある者は何なるや彼いふ杖なり
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは其を地に擲よとすなはち之を地になぐるに蛇となりければモーセその前を避たり
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝の手をのべて其尾を執れとすなはち手をのべて之を執ば手にいりて杖となる
5 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
ヱホバいひたまふ是は彼らの先祖等の神アブラハムの神イサクの神ヤコブの神ヱホバの汝にあらはれたることを彼らに信ぜしめんためなり
6 And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
ヱホバまたかれに言たまひけるは汝の手を懐に納よとすなはち手を懐にいれて之を出し見るにその手癩病を生じて雪のごとくなれり
7 And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
ヱホバまた言たまひけるは汝の手をふたたび懐にいれよと彼すなはちふたたび其手を懐にいれて之を懐より出し見るに變りて他處の肌膚のごとくになる
8 And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
ヱホバいひたまふ彼等もし汝を信ぜずまたその最初の徴の聲に聽從はざるならば後の徴の聲を信ぜん
9 And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
彼らもし是ふたつの徴をも信ぜすして汝の言に聽從はざるならば汝河の水をとりて之を陸地にそそげ汝が河より取たる水陸地にて血となるべし
10 And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
モーセ、ヱホバにいひけるはわが主よ我は素言辭に敏き人にあらず汝が僕に語りたまへるに及びても猶しかり我は口重く舌重き者なり
11 And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
ヱホバかれにいひたまひけるは人の口を造る者は誰なるや唖者聾者目明者瞽者などを造る者は誰なるや我ヱホバなるにあらずや
12 And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
然ば往けよ我なんぢの口にありて汝の言ふべきことを敎へん
13 And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
モーセいひけるはわが主よ願くは遣すべき者をつかはしたまへ
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
是においてヱホバ、モーセにむかひ怒を發していひたまひけるはレビ人アロンは汝の兄弟なるにあらずや我かれが言を善するを知るまた彼なんぢに遇んとていで來る彼汝を見る時心に喜ばん
15 And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
汝かれに語りて言をその口に授くべし我なんぢの口と彼の口にありて汝らの爲べき事を敎へん
16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
彼なんぢに代て民に語らん彼は汝の口に代らん汝は彼のために神に代るべし
17 And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
なんぢこの杖を手に執り之をもて奇蹟をおこなふべし
18 And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
是においてモーセゆきてその妻の父ヱテロの許にかへりて之にいふ請ふ我をして往てわがエジプトにある兄弟等の所にかへらしめ彼等のなほ生ながらへをるや否を見さしめよヱテロ、モーセに安然に往くべしといふ
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
爰にヱホバ、ミデアンにてモーセにいひたまひけるは往てエジプトにかへれ汝の生命をもとめし人は皆死たりと
20 And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
モーセすなはちその妻と子等をとり之を驢馬に乗てエジプトの地にかへるモーセは神の杖を手に執り
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝エジプトにかへりゆける時はかならず我がなんぢの手に授けたるところの奇跡を悉くパロのまへにおこなふべし但し我かれの心を剛愎にすれば彼民を去しめざるべし
22 And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
汝パロに言べしヱホバかく言ふイスラエルはわが子わが冢子なり
23 And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
我なんぢにいふ我が子を去らしめて我に事ふることをえせしめよ汝もし彼をさらしむることを拒ば我なんぢの子なんぢの冢子を殺すべしと
24 And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
モーセ途にある時ヱホバかれの宿所にて彼に遇てころさんとしたまひければ
25 and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
チツポラ利き石をとりてその男子の陽の皮を割りモーセの足下になげうちて言ふ汝はまことにわがためには血の夫なりと
26 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
是においてヱホバ、モーセをゆるしたまふ此時チツポラが血の夫といひしは割禮の故によりてなり
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
爰にヱホバ、アロンにいひたまひけるに曠野にゆきてモーセを迎へよと彼すなはちゆきて神の山にてモーセに遇ひ之に接吻す
28 And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
モーセ、ヱホバがおのれに言ふくめて遣したまへる諸の言とヱホバのおのれに命じたまひし諸の奇跡とをアロンにつげたり
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
斯てモーセとアロン往てイスラエルの子孫の長老を盡く集む
30 And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
而してアロン、ヱホバのモーセにかたりたまひし言を盡くつぐ又彼民の目のまへにて奇蹟をなしければ
31 and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
民すなはち信ず彼等ヱホバがイスラエルの民をかへりみその苦患をおもひたまふを聞て身をかがめて拝をなせり
