< Exodus 3 >
1 And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, to Horeb;
モーセその妻の父なるミデアンの祭司ヱテロの群を牧ひをりしがその群を曠野の奧にみちびきて神の山ホレブに至るに
2 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.
ヱホバの使者棘の裏の火燄の中にて彼にあらはる彼見るに棘火に燃れどもその棘燬ず
3 And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”
モーセいひけるは我ゆきてこの大なる觀を見 何故に棘の燃たえざるかを見ん
4 And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”
ヱホバ彼がきたり觀んとするを見たまふ即ち神棘の中よりモーセよモーセよと彼をよびたまひければ我ここにありといふに
5 And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
神いひたまひけるは此に近よるなかれ汝の足より履を脱ぐべし汝が立つ處は聖き地なればなり
6 He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward God.
又いひたまひけるは我はなんぢの父の神アブラハムの神イサクの神ヤコブの神なりとモーセ神を見ることを畏れてその面を蔽せり
7 And YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我まことにエジプトにをるわが民の苦患を觀また彼等がその驅使者の故をもて號ぶところの聲を聞り我かれらの憂苦を知るなり
8 and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
われ降りてかれらをエジプト人の手より救ひいだし之を彼地より導きのぼりて善き廣き地乳と蜜との流るる地すなはちカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人ベリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人のをる處に至らしめんとす
9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,
今イスラエルの子孫の號呼われに達る我またエジプト人が彼らを苦むるその暴虐を見たり
10 and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from Egypt.”
然ば來れ我なんぢをパロにつかはし汝をしてわが民イスラエルの子孫をエジプトより導きいださしめん
11 And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?”
モーセ神にいひけるは我は如何なる者ぞや我豈パロの許に往きイスラエルの子孫をエジプトより導きいだすべき者ならんや
12 And He says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on this mountain.”
神いひたまひけるは我かならず汝とともにあるべし是はわが汝をつかはせる證據なり汝民をエジプトより導きいだしたる時汝等この山にて神に事へん
13 And Moses says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to them?”
モーセ神にいひけるは我イスラエルの子孫の所にゆきて汝らの先祖等の神我を汝らに遣はしたまふと言んに彼等もし其名は何と我に言ば何とかれらに言べきや
14 And God says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”
神モーセにいひたまひけるは我は有て在る者なり又いひたまひけるは汝かくイスラエルの子孫にいふべし我有といふ者我を汝らに遣したまふと
15 And God says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.
神またモーセにいひたまひけるは汝かくイスラエルの子孫にいふべし汝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われを汝らにつかはしたまふと是は永遠にわが名となり世々にわが誌となるべし
16 Go, and you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;
汝往てイスラエルの長老等をあつめて之にいふべし汝らの先祖等の神アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブの神ヱホバ我にあらはれて言たまひけらく我誠になんぢらを眷み汝らがエジプトにて蒙るところの事を見たり
17 and I say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
我すなはち言り我汝らをエジプトの苦患の中より導き出してカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人ペリジ人ヒビ人エブス人の地すなはち乳と蜜の流るる地にのぼり至らしめんと
18 And they have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.
彼等なんぢの言に聽したがふべし汝とイスラエルの長老等エジプトの王の許にいたりて之に言へヘブル人の神ヱホバ我らに臨めり然ば請ふわれらをして三日程ほど曠野に入しめわれらの神ヱホバに犠牲をささぐることを得せしめよと
19 And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,
我しるエジプトの王は假令能力ある手をくはふるも汝等の往をゆるさざるべし
20 and I have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.
我すなはちわが手を舒ベエジプトの中に諸の奇跡を行ひてエジプトを撃ん其後かれ汝等を去しむべし
21 And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do not go empty;
我エジプト人をして此民をめぐましめん汝ら去る時手を空うして去るべからず
22 and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
婦女皆その隣人とおのれの家に寓る者とに金の飾品銀の飾品および衣服を乞べし而して汝らこれを汝らの子女に穿戴せよ汝等かくエジプト人の物を取べし
