Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.
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 unto him, What is that in thy hand? and he said, A staff.
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 before 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 unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and grasp it by the tail; and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand.
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 In order that they may believe that there hath appeared unto thee the Everlasting One, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the 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 farthermore unto him, Do put thy hand into thy bosom: and he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, white 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, Put thy hand again into thy bosom: and he put his hand again into his bosom; and when he pulled it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as 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 it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter 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 also these two signs, and will not hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou shalt take out of the river shall become 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 unto the Lord, Pardon, O Lord, I am not a man of words, neither yesterday, nor the day before, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am heavy of speech, and heavy of tongue.
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 unto him, Who hath given a mouth to man? or who maketh him dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the Lord?
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 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.
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 he said, Pardon, O Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wouldst 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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well; and also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
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 thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and I will teach you what ye 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 thee unto the people; and he shall be, yea he shall be to thee as a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as a 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 staff shalt thou take in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
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 Jether his father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive; and Jithro said to Moses, Go in peace.
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 unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
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 sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the staff of 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 unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, regard well all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, and do them before Pharaoh; but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
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 thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus hath said the Lord, My son, my first-born, is Israel.
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 unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou refusest to let him go; so, behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born.
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 as he was on the journey in the inn, the Lord met him, 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 Then took Zipporah a sharp instrument, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody relative art thou to me.
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 then he withdrew from him; when she said, A bloody relative, but only in respect of the circumcision.
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 to meet Moses, into the wilderness; and he went and met him by the mount of God, and kissed him.
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 told Aaron all the words of the Lord wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded 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 assembled all 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 the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and he did the signs before the eyes of 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 when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads 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
