< Exodus 9 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “Go and speak to Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロの所にいりてかれに告よヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我につかふることをえせしめよ
2 If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,
汝もし彼等をさらしむることを拒みて尚かれらを拘留へなば
3 I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
ヱホバの手野にをる汝の家畜馬驢馬駱駝牛および羊に加はらん即ち甚だ惡き疾あるべし
4 But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’
ヱホバ、イスラエルの家畜とエジプトの家畜とを別ちたまはんイスラエルの子孫に屬する者は死る者あらざるべしと
5 The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”
ヱホバまた期をさだめて言たまふ明日ヱホバこの事を國になさんと
6 The following day the Lord did what he had said. All the Egyptians' livestock died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.
明日ヱホバこの事をなしたまひければエジプトの家畜みな死り然どイスラエルの子孫の家畜は一も死ざりき
7 Pharaoh sent out officials and discovered that not a single one of the Israelites' livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he would not let the people leave.
パロ人をつかはして見さしめたるにイスラエルの家畜は一頭だにも死ざりき然どもパロは心剛愎にして民をさらしめざりき
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Go and get some handfuls of soot from a furnace. Then have Moses throw it into the air in front of Pharaoh.
またヱホバ、モーセとアロンにいひたまひけるは汝等竃爐の灰を一握とれ而してモーセ、パロの目の前にて天にむかひて之をまきちらすべし
9 It will spread like fine dust over the whole country of Egypt, and open sores will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
其灰エジプト全國に塵となりてエジプト全國の人と畜獣につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物とならんと
10 They got soot from a furnace, and went to see Pharaoh. Moses threw it into the air, and open sores broke out on people and animals.
彼等すなはち竃爐の灰をとりてパロの前に立ちモーセ天にむかひて之をまきちらしければ人と獣畜につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物となれり
11 The magicians were unable to come and appear before Moses, because they and all the other Egyptians were covered in sores.
法術士等はその腫物のためにモーセの前に立つことを得ざりき腫物は法術士等よりして諸のエジプト人にまで生じたり
12 But the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.
然どヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたれば彼らに聽ざりきヱホバのモーセに言給ひし如し
13 The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and go to Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは朝早くおきてパロの前にたちて彼に言へヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我に事ふるをえせしめよ
14 This time I will direct all my plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you will realize that there is no one like me in all the earth.
我此度わが諸の災害を汝の心となんぢの臣下およびなんぢの民に降し全地に我ごとき者なきことを汝に知しめん
15 By now I could have reached out to strike you and your people with a plague that would have completely destroyed you.
我もしわが手を伸べ疫病をもて汝となんぢの民を撃たらば汝は地より絶れしならん
16 However, I have let you live so you can see my power, and that my reputation may be spread throughout the earth.
抑わが汝をたてたるは即ちなんぢをしてわが權能を見さしめわが名を全地に傳へんためなり
17 But in your pride you are still tyrannizing my people, and refuse to let them leave.
汝なほ吾民の前に立ふさがりて之を去しめざるや
18 So watch out! About this time tomorrow I will send down the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the beginning of its history until now.
視よ明日の今頃我はなはだ大なる雹を降すべし是はエジプトの開國より今までに嘗てあらざりし者なり
19 So order your livestock and everything you have in the field to be brought inside. Every person and every animal that stays outside and is not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.’”
然ば人をやりて汝の家畜および凡て汝が野に有る物を集めよ人も獣畜も凡て野にありて家に歸らざる者は雹その上にふりくだりて死るにたらん
20 Those of Pharaoh's officials who took seriously what the Lord said rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside.
パロの臣下の中ヱホバの言を畏る者はその僕と家畜を家に逃いらしめしが
21 But those who didn't care what the Lord said left their servants and livestock outside.
ヱホバの言を意にとめざる者はその僕と家畜を野に置り
22 The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand towards the sky so that a hailstorm will fall over the whole of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝の手を天に舒てエジプト全國に雹あらしめエジプトの國中の人と獣畜と田圃の諸の蔬にふりくだらしめよと
23 Moses held up his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and made lightning hit the ground. This is how the Lord rained hail down on Egypt.
モーセ天にむかひて杖を舒たればヱホバ雷と雹を遣りたまふ又火いでて地に馳すヱホバ雹をエジプトの地に降せたまふ
24 As the hail fell it was accompanied by lightning flashing back and forth. The hail that fell was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in the whole of Egypt since the beginning of its history.
斯雹ふり又火の塊雹に雑りて降る甚だ勵しエジプト全國には其國を成てよりこのかた未だ斯る者あらざりしなり
25 All across Egypt hail hit everything in the fields, both people and animals. It knocked down everything growing in the fields, and stripped every tree bare.
雹エジプト全國に於て人と獣畜とをいはず凡て田圃にをる者を撃り雹また田圃の諸の蔬を撃ち野の諸の樹を折り
26 Only in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived was there no hail.
唯イスラエルの子孫のをるゴセンの地には雹あらざりき
27 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “I admit that I sinned this time! The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong!
是に於てパロ人をつかはしてモーセとアロンを召てこれに言けるは我此度罪ををかしたりヱホバは義く我とわが民は惡し
28 Pray to the Lord for us, because there's been more than enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you leave. You don't need to stay here any longer.”
ヱホバに願ひてこの神鳴と雹を最早これにて足しめよ我なんぢらを去しめん汝等今は留るにおよばず
29 “Once I've left the city, I will pray to the Lord for you,” Moses told him. “The thunder will stop, and there'll be no more hail, so that you will realize that the earth belongs to the Lord.
モーセかれに曰けるは我邑より出て我手をヱホバに舒ひろげん然ば雷やみて雹かさねてあらざるべし斯して地はヱホバの所屬なるを汝にしらしめん
30 But I know you and your officials still do not really respect the Lord our God.”
然ど我しる汝となんぢの臣下等はなほヱホバ神を畏れざるならんと
31 (The flax and barley were destroyed, because the barley was ripe and the flax was flowering.
偖麻と大麥は撃れたり大麥は穂いで麻は花さきゐたればなり
32 However, the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they grow later.)
然ど小麥と裸麥は未だ長ざりしによりて撃れざりき
33 Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, and prayed to the Lord. The thunder and hail stopped, and the rainstorm finished.
モーセ、パロをはなれて邑より出でヱホバにむかひて手をのべひろげたれば雷と雹やみて雨地にふらずなりぬ
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again, and he chose to become stubborn again, along with his officials.
然るにパロ雨と雹と雷鳴のやみたるを見て復も罪を犯し其心を剛硬にす彼もその臣下も然り
35 Because of his stubborn attitude, Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.
即ちパロは心剛愎にしてイスラエルの子孫を去しめざりきヱホバのモーセによりて言たまひしごとし
