< Exodus 11 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “There's one last plague I will bring down on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will let you go, but when he does, he'll expel every one of you from the country.
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは我今一箇の災をパロおよびエジプトに降さん然後かれ汝等を此處より去しむべし彼なんぢらを全く去しむるには必ず汝らを此より逐はらはん
2 Now go and tell the Israelites, both men and women, to ask their Egyptian neighbors for silver and gold objects.”
然ば汝民の耳にかたり男女をしておのおのその隣々に銀の飾品金の飾具を乞しめよと
3 The Lord made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites. In fact, Moses himself was highly respected in Egypt by both Pharaoh's officials and the ordinary people.
ヱホバつひに民をしてエジプト人の恩を蒙らしめたまふ又その人モーセはエジプトの國にてパロの臣下の目と民の目に甚だ大なる者と見えたり
4 Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Around midnight I will go through the whole of Egypt.
モーセいひけるはヱホバかく言たまふ夜半頃われ出てエジプトの中に至らん
5 Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl working with a handmill, as well as all the firstborn of the cattle.
エジプトの國の中の長子たる者は位に坐するパロの長子より磨の後にをる婢の長子まで悉く死べし又獣畜の首出もしかり
6 There will be loud cries of mourning all over Egypt, such as have never been before, and will never be again.
而してエジプト全國に大なる號哭あるべし是まで是のごとき事はあらずまた再び斯ること有ざるべし
7 But among all the Israelites there won't even be the sound of a dog barking at them or their animals. That way you will know that the Lord distinguishes between Egypt and Israel.’
然どイスラエルの子孫にむかひては犬もその舌をうごかさじ人にむかひても獣畜にむかひても然り汝等これによりてヱホバがエジプト人とイスラエルのあひだに區別をなしたまふを知べし
8 All your officials will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Leave, and take everyone who follows you with you!’ After that I will leave.” Moses was very angry, and left Pharaoh.
汝の此臣等みなわが許に下り來てわれを拝し汝となんぢに從がふ民みな出よと言ん然る後われ出べしと烈しく怒りてパロの所より出たり
9 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh is refusing to listen to you so I can do even more miracles in Egypt.”
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロ汝に聽ざるべし是をもて吾がエジプトの國に奇蹟をおこなふこと増べし
10 Moses and Aaron did these miracles before Pharaoh, but the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave his country.
モーセとアロンこの諸の奇蹟をことごとくパロの前に行ひたれどもヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひければ彼イスラエルの子孫をその國より去しめざりき
