Exodus 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは視よ我汝をしてパロにおけること神のごとくならしむ汝の兄弟アロンは汝の預言者となるべし
2 You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
汝はわが汝に命ずる所を盡く宣べし汝の兄弟アロンはパロに告ることを爲べし彼イスラエルの子孫をその國より出すに至らん
3 But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
我パロの心を剛愎にして吾徴と奇跡をエジプトの國に多くせん
4 the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
然どパロ汝に聽ざるべし我すなはち吾手をエジプトに加へ大なる罰をほどこして吾軍隊わが民イスラエルの子孫をエジプトの國より出さん
5 Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
我わが手をエジプトの上に伸てイスラエルの子孫をエジプト人の中より出す時には彼等我のヱホバなるを知ん
6 Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
モーセとアロン斯おこなひヱホバの命じたまへる如くに然なしぬ
7 At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
そのパロと談論ける時モーセは八十歳アロンは八十三歳なりき
8 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
9 “If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
パロ汝等に語りて汝ら自ら奇蹟を行へと言時には汝アロンに言べし汝の杖をとりてパロの前に擲てよと其は蛇とならん
10 So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
是に於てモーセとアロンはパロの許にいたりヱホバの命じたまひしごとくに行へり即ちアロンその杖をパロとその臣下の前に擲しに蛇となりぬ
11 Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
斯在しかばパロもまた博士と魔術士を召よせたるにエジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもてかくおこなへり
12 They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
即ち彼ら各人その杖を投たれば蛇となりけるがアロンの杖かれらの杖を呑つくせり
13 But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
然るにパロの心剛愎になりて彼らに聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるはパロは心頑にして民を去しむることを拒むなり
15 So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became a snake.
朝におよびて汝パロの許にいたれ視よ彼は水に臨む汝河の邊にたちて彼を逆ふべし汝かの蛇に化し杖を手にとりて居り
16 Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
彼に言ふべしヘブル人の神ヱホバ我を汝につかはして言しむ吾民を去しめて曠野にて我に事ふることを得せしめよ視よ今まで汝は聽入ざりしなり
17 [So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
ヱホバかく言ふ汝これによりて我がヱホバなるを知ん視よ我わが手の杖をもて河の水を撃ん是血に變ずべし
18 Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
而して河の魚は死に河は臭くならんエジプト人は河の水を飮ことを厭ふにいたるべし
19 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
ヱホバまたモーセに言たまはく汝アロンに言へ汝の杖をとりて汝の手をエジプトの上に伸べ流水の上河々の上池塘の上一切の湖水の上に伸て血とならしめよエジプト全國に於て木石の器の中に凡て血あるにいたらん
20 So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] blood.
モーセ、アロンすなはちヱホバの命じたまへるごとくに爲り即ち彼パロとその臣下の前にて杖をあげて河の水を撃しに河の水みな血に變じたり
21 Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
是において河の魚死て河臭くなりエジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりき斯エジプト全國に血ありき
22 But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
エジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもて斯のごとく行へりパロは心頑固にして彼等に聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
23 The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
パロすなはち身をめぐらしてその家に入り此事にも心をとめざりき
24 The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
エジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりしかば皆飮水を得んとて河のまはりを掘たりヱホバ河を撃たまひてより後七日たちぬ
25 (One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
