Exodus 5
1 And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.
その後モーセとアロン入てパロにいふイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我民を去しめ彼等をして曠野に於て我を祭ることをえせしめよと
2 Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!
パロいひけるはヱホバは誰なればか我その聲にしたがひてイスラエルを去しむべき我ヱホバを識ず亦イスラエルを去しめじ
3 And they said, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us, —let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.
彼ら言けるはヘブル人の神我らに顯れたまへり請ふ我等をして三日程ほど曠野にいりてわれらの神ヱホバに犠牲をささぐることをえせしめよ恐くはヱホバ疫病か又は刀兵をもて我らをなやましたまはん
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
エジプト王かれらに言けるは汝等モーセ、アロンなんぞ民の操作を妨ぐるや往てなんぢらの荷を負へ
5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many—now, are the people of the land, —and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
パロまたいふ土民今は多かり然るに汝等かれらをして荷をおふことを止しめんとす
6 So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers—saying:
パロ此日民が驅使ふ者等および民の有司等に命じていふ
7 Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:
汝等再び前のごとく民に磚瓦を造る禾稈を與ふべからず彼等をして往てみづから禾稈をあつめしめよ
8 Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, —for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.
また彼等が前に造りし磚瓦の數のごとくに仍かれらに之をつくらしめよ其を減すなかれ彼等は懈惰が故に我儕をして往てわれらの神に犠牲をささげしめよと呼はり言ふなり
9 The service must be made heavy on the men that they may labour on it, —and let them not pay regard to words of falsehood.
人々の工作を重くして之に勞かしめよ然ば偽の言を聽ことあらじと
10 Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people, —saying, —Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,
民を驅使ふ者等およびその有司等出ゆきて民にいひけるはパロかく言たまふ我なんぢらに禾稈をあたへじ
11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, —yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
汝等往て禾稈のある處にて之をとれ但しなんぢらの工作は分毫も減さざるべしと
12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, —to gather stubble for straw:
是において民遍くエジプトの地に散て草藁をあつめて禾稈となす
13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, —Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
驅使者かれらを促たてて言ふ禾稈のありし時のごとく汝らの工作汝らの日々の業をなしをふべしと
14 Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?
パロの驅使者等がイスラエルの子孫の上に立たるところの有司等撻れなんぢら何ぞ昨日も今日も磚瓦を作るところの汝らの業を前のごとくに爲しをへざるやと言る
15 Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?
是に於てイスラエルの子孫の有司等來りてパロに呼はりて言ふ汝なんぞ斯僕等になすや
16 No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, —they keep saying to us—make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten—thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.
僕等に禾稈を與へずしてわれらに磚瓦を作れといふ視よ僕等は撻る是なんぢの民の過なりと
17 But he said: Idle, ye are—idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.
然るにパロいふ汝等は懶惰し懶惰し故に汝らは我らをして往てヱホバに犠牲をささげしめよと言ふなり
18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, —yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
然ば汝ら往て操作けよ禾稈はなんぢらに與ふることなかるべけれどなんぢら尚數のごとくに磚瓦を交納むべしと
19 Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, —Ye shall not diminish from your bricks—the task of a day, in its day
イスラエルの子孫の有司等汝等その日々につくる磚瓦を減すべからずと言るを聞て災害の身におよぶを知り
20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, —as they came forth from Pharaoh;
彼らパロをはなれて出たる時モーセとアロンの對面にたてるを見たれば
21 and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you and judge, —in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.
之にいひけるは願くはヱホバ汝等を鑒みて鞫きたまへ汝等はわれらの臭をパロの目と彼の僕の目に忌嫌はれしめ刀を彼等の手にわたして我等を殺さしめんとするなりと
22 And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, —O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?
モーセ、ヱホバに返りて言ふわが主よ何て此民をあしくしたまふや何のために我をつかはしたまひしや
23 seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,
わがパロの許に來りて汝の名をもて語りしよりして彼この民をあしくす汝また絶てなんぢの民をすくひたまはざるなり
