Exodus 5
1 And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate 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, to whose voice I am to hearken to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, neither will I 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 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, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, wish to have the people go off from their works? Away, 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 wish to 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 Pharaoh commanded the same day 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 heretofore: 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 they have made heretofore shall ye 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 them put heavier labour on the men, that they may be taken up with it, and not regard vain 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 and their officers went out and 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 ye, get yourselves straw where ye may find it; but 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 And the people were scattered abroad throughout 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 urged [them], saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, 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 children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?
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 children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dost thou deal thus with thy bondmen?
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 bondmen, and they say to us, Make brick; and behold, thy bondmen are beaten, but it is the fault of thy 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 And he said, Ye are idle, 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 And now go — work! and straw shall not be given you, and ye shall deliver the measure 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 children of Israel saw [that] it stood ill with them, because it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, the daily work.
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 there to meet them, as they came out 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, that ye have made our odour to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen, putting a sword into their hand to kill 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 hast thou done evil to this people? why now hast thou 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 ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast 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
