< Exodus 3 >

1 Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, —so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto 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 Then appeared the messenger of Yahweh unto him, in a flame of fire from the midst of the thorn-bush, —so he looked and lo! the thorn-bush burning with fire and yet the thorn-bush, was 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 said, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight, —why the thorn-bush, doth not burn up.
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 Yahweh saw, that he turned aside to see, —so God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, and said—Moses! Moses! And he said—Behold me!
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 said—Do not draw nigh hither, —put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art 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 And he said—I, am the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon 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 Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, —and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their 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 therefore have I come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to take them up out of that land, into a land good and large, into a land flowing with milk and honey, —into 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 Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, —moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith 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 Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, —and bring thou forth my people—the sons of Israel—out of 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 said unto God, Who am, I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, —and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of 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 said—I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, [shall be] the sign, that, I have sent thee, —When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto God, upon 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 said unto God—Lo! as surely as, I, go in unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers, hath sent me unto you, So surely will they say unto me—What is his name? What shall I say unto 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 said unto Moses, I Will Become whatsoever I please, And he said—Thus, shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, I Will Become hath sent me unto 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 said yet further unto Moses—Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after 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 thou shalt gather together the elders of Israel and shalt say unto them-Yahweh God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, —I am, concerned, for you, and for what 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 therefore do I say—I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, —into 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 So will they hearken to thy voice, —and thou shalt go in—thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him—Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.
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 But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, —not even by a firm 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 So then I will put forth my hand and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof, —and, after that, he will send you forth.
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 Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, —so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall 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 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and mantles, —and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye spoil 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
