Exodus 2
1 And there goes a man of the house of Levi, and he takes the daughter of Levi,
爰にレビの家の一箇の人往てレビの女を娶れり
2 and the woman conceives, and bears a son, and she sees him, that he [is] beautiful, and she hides him [for] three months,
女妊みて男子を生みその美きを見て三月のあひだこれを匿せしが
3 and she has not been able to hide him anymore, and she takes an ark of rushes for him, and covers it with bitumen and with pitch, and puts the boy in it, and puts [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;
すでにこれを匿すあたはざるにいたりければ萑の箱舟を之がために取て之に瀝靑と樹脂を塗り子をその中に納てこれを河邊の葦の中に置り
4 and his sister stations herself far off, to know what is done to him.
その姉遥に立てその如何になるかを窺ふ
5 And a daughter of Pharaoh comes down to bathe at the River, and her girls are walking by the side of the River, and she sees the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sends her handmaid, and she takes it,
茲にパロの女身を洗んとて河にくだりその婢等河の傍にあゆむ彼葦の中に箱舟あるを見て使女をつかはしてこれを取きたらしめ
6 and opens, and sees him—the boy, and behold, a child weeping! And she has pity on him and says, “This is [one] of the Hebrews’ children.”
これを啓きてその子のをるを見る嬰兒すなはち啼く彼これを憐みていひけるは是はヘブル人の子なりと
7 And his sister says to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Do I go? When I have called a suckling woman of the Hebrews for you, then she suckles the boy for you”;
時にその姉パロの女にいひけるは我ゆきてヘブルの女の中より此子をなんぢのために養ふべき乳母を呼きたらんか
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Go”; and the virgin goes, and calls the mother of the boy,
パロの女往よと之にいひければ女子すなはち往てその子の母を呼きたる
9 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Take this boy away, and suckle him for me, and I give your hire”; and the woman takes the boy, and suckles him.
パロの女かれにいひけるは此子をつれゆきて我ために之を養へ我その値をなんぢにとらせんと婦すなはちその子を取てこれを養ふ
10 And the boy grows, and she brings him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calls his name Moses, and says, “Because I have drawn him from the water.”
斯てその子の長ずるにおよびて之をパロの女の所にたづさへゆきければすなはちこれが子となる彼その名をモーセ(援出)と名けて言ふ我これを水より援いだせしに因ると
11 And it comes to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goes out to his brothers, and looks on their burdens, and sees a man, an Egyptian, striking a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brothers,
茲にモーセ生長におよびて一時いでてその兄弟等の所にいたりその重荷を負ふを見しが會一箇のエジプト人が一箇のイスラエル人即ちおのれの兄弟を撃つを見たれば
12 and he turns here and there, and sees that there is no man, and strikes the Egyptian, and hides him in the sand.
右左を視まはして人のをらざるを見てそのエジプト人を撃ころし之を沙の中に埋め匿せり
13 And he goes out on the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, are striving, and he says to the wrongdoer, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
次の日また出て二人のヘブル人の相爭ふを見たればその曲き者にむかひ汝なんぞ汝の隣人を撃つやといふに
14 And he says, “Who set you for a head and judge over us? Are you saying [it] to slay me as you have slain the Egyptian?” And Moses fears and says, “Surely the thing has been known.”
彼いひけるは誰が汝を立てわれらの君とし判官としたるや汝かのエジプト人をころせしごとく我をも殺さんとするやと是においてモーセ懼れてその事かならず知れたるならんとおもへり
15 And Pharaoh hears of this thing, and seeks to slay Moses, and Moses flees from the face of Pharaoh, and dwells in the land of Midian, and dwells by the well.
パロ此事を聞てモーセを殺さんともとめければモーセすなはちパロの面をさけて逃げのびミデアンの地に住り彼井の傍に坐せり
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs to water the flock of their father,
ミデアンの祭司に七人の女子ありしが彼等來りて水を汲み水鉢に盈て父の羊群に飮はんとしけるに
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses arises, and saves them, and waters their flock.
牧羊者等きたりて彼らを逐はらひければモーセ起あがりて彼等をたすけその羊群に飮ふ
18 And they come to their father Reuel, and he says, “Why have you hurried to come in today?”
彼等その父リウエルに至れる時父言けるは今日はなんぢら何ぞかく速にかへりしや
19 And they say, “A man, an Egyptian, has delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and has also diligently drawn for us, and waters the flock”;
かれらいひけるは一箇のエジプト人我らを牧羊者等の手より救いだし亦われらのために水を多く汲て羊群に飮しめたり
20 and he says to his daughters, “And where [is] he? Why [is] this [that] you left the man? Call for him, and he eats bread.”
父女等にいひけるは彼は何處にをるや汝等なんぞその人を遺てきたりしや彼をよびて物を食しめよと
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he gives his daughter Zipporah to Moses,
モーセこの人とともに居ることを好めり彼すなはちその女子チツポラをモーセに與ふ
22 and she bears a son, and he calls his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land.”
彼男子を生みければモーセその名をゲルシヨム(客)と名けて言ふ我異邦に客となりをればなりと
23 And it comes to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dies, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goes up to God, because of the service;
斯て時をふる程にジプトの王死りイスラエルの子孫その勞役の故によりて歎き號ぶにその勞役の故によりて號ぶところの聲神に達りければ
24 and God hears their groaning, and God remembers His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
神その長呻を聞き神そのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブになしたる契約を憶え
25 and God sees the sons of Israel, and God knows.
神イスラエルの子孫を眷み神知しめしたまへり
