< Exodus 8 >

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝パロに詣りて彼に言へヱホバかく言たまふ吾民を去しめて我に事ふることを得せしめよ
2 If you refuse to let them go, I will afflict all your country with frogs.
汝もし去しむることを拒まば我蛙をもて汝の四方の境を惱さん
3 The river will swarm with frogs. They will come up and go into your house, your bedroom, and your bed. They will go into your servants' houses. They will go onto your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
河に蛙むらがり上りきたりて汝の家にいり汝の寝室にいり汝の牀にのぼり汝の臣下の家にいり汝の民の所にいたり汝の竃におよび汝の搓鉢にいらん
4 The frogs will attack you, your people, and all your servants.”'”
蛙なんぢの身にのぼり汝の民と汝の臣下の上にのぼるべし
5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your hand and your staff over the rivers, the streams, and the pools, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.'”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはく汝アロンに言へ汝杖をとりて手を流水の上に伸べ河々の上と池塘の上に伸て蛙をエジプトの地に上らしめよ
6 Aaron reached out with his hand over Egypt's waters, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
アロン手をエジプトの水のうへに伸たれば蛙のぼりきたりてエジプトの地を蔽ふ
7 But the magicians did the same with their magic; they brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
法術士等もその秘術をもて斯おこなひ蛙をエジプトの地に上らしめたり
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to Yahweh for him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to him.”
パロ、モーセとアロンを召て言けるはヱホバに願ひてこの蛙を我とわが民の所より取さらしめよ我この民を去しめてヱホバに犠牲をささぐることを得せしめん
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “You can have the privilege of telling me when I should pray for you, your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be removed from you and your houses and stay only in the river.”
モーセ、パロに言けるは我なんぢと汝の臣下と汝の民のために願ひて何時此蛙を汝と汝の家より絶さりて河にのみ止らしむべきや我に示せと
10 Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like Yahweh, our God.
彼明日といひければモーセ言ふ汝の言のごとくに爲し汝をして我らの神ヱホバのごとき者なきことを知しめん
11 The frogs will go from you, your houses, your servants, and your people. They will stay only in the river.”
蛙汝と汝の家を離れ汝の臣下と汝の民を離れて河にのみ止るべしと
12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. Then Moses cried out to Yahweh concerning the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
モーセとアロンすなはちパロを離れて出でモーセそのパロに至らしめたまひし蛙のためにヱホバに呼はりしに
13 Yahweh did as Moses asked: The frogs died in the houses, courts, and fields.
ヱホバ、モーセの言のごとくなしたまひて蛙家より村より田野より死亡たり
14 The people gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
茲にこれを攢むるに山をなし地臭くなりぬ
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Yahweh had said that he would do.
然るにパロは嘘氣時あるを見てその心を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
16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your staff and strike the dust on the ground, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝アロンに言へ汝の杖を伸べ地の塵を打てエジプト全國に蚤とならしめよと
17 They did so: Aaron reached out with his hand and his staff. He struck the dust on the ground. Gnats came onto man and beast. All the dust on the ground became gnats throughout the whole land of Egypt.
彼等斯なせり即ちアロン杖をとりて手を伸べ地の塵を撃けるに蚤となりて人と畜につけりエジプト全國において地の塵みな蚤となりぬ
18 The magicians tried with their magic to produce gnats, but they could not. There were gnats on man and beast.
法術士等その秘術をもて斯おこなひて蚤を出さんとしたりしが能はざりき蚤は人と畜に著く
19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so he refused to listen to them. It was just as Yahweh had said Pharaoh would do.
是において法術士等パロに言ふ是は神の指なりと然るにパロは心剛愎にして彼等に聽ざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
20 Yahweh said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and stand in front of Pharaoh as he goes out to the river. Say to him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはく汝朝早く起てパロの前に立て視よ彼は水に臨む汝彼に言へヱホバかく言たまふわが民を去しめて我に事ふることを得せしめよ
21 But if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you, your servants, and your people, and into your houses. The Egyptians' houses will be full of swarms of flies, and even the ground on which they stand will be full of flies.
汝もしわが民を去しめずば視よ我汝と汝の臣下と汝の民と汝の家とに蚋をおくらんエジプト人の家々には蚋充べし彼らの居るところの地も然らん
22 But on that day I will treat the land of Goshen differently, the land in which my people are living, so that no swarms of flies will be there. This will happen so that you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of this land.
その日に我わが民の居るゴセンの地を區別おきて其處に蚋あらしめじ是地の中にありて我のヱホバなることを汝が知んためなり
23 I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign of my power will take place tomorrow.”'”
我わが民と汝の民の間に區別をたてん明日この徴あるべし
24 Yahweh did so, and thick swarms of flies came into Pharaoh's house and into his servants' houses. Throughout the whole land of Egypt, the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
ヱホバかく爲たまひたれば蚋おびただしく出來りてパロの家にいりその臣下の家にいりエジプト全國にたり蚋のために地害はる
25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in our own land.”
是においてパロ、モーセとアロンを召ていひけるは汝等往て國の中にて汝らの神に犠牲を献げよ
26 Moses said, “It is not right for us to do so, for the sacrifices we make to Yahweh our God are something disgusting to the Egyptians. If we make sacrifices right before their eyes that are disgusting to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
モーセ言ふ然するは宜からず我等はエジプト人の崇拝む者を犠牲としてわれらの神ヱホバに献ぐべければなり我等もしエジプト人の崇拝む者をその目の前にて犠牲に献げなば彼等石にて我等を撃ざらんや
27 No, it is a three days' journey into the wilderness that we must make, in order to sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he commands us.”
我等は三日路ほど曠野にいりて我らの神ヱホバに犠牲を献げその命じたまひしごとくせんとす
28 Pharaoh said, “I will allow you to go and sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness. Only you must not go very far away. Pray for me.”
パロ言けるは我汝らを去しめて汝らの神ヱホバに曠野にて犠牲を献ぐることを得せしめん但餘に遠くは行べからず我ために祈れよ
29 Moses said, “As soon as I go out from you, I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may leave you, Pharaoh, and your servants and people tomorrow. But you must not deal deceitfully any more by not letting our people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
モーセ言けるは視よ我汝をはなれて出づ我ヱホバに祈ん明日蚋パロとその臣下とその民を離れん第パロ再び偽をおこなひ民を去しめてヱホバに犠牲をささぐるを得せしめざるが如きことを爲ざれ
30 Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
かくてモーセ、パロをはなれて出でヱホバに祈りたれば
31 Yahweh did as Moses asked; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, his servants, and his people. Not one remained.
ヱホバ、モーセの言のごとく爲したまへり即ちその蚋をパロとその臣下とその民よりはなれしめたまふ一ものこらざりき
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
然るにパロ此時にもまたその心を頑固にして民を去しめざりき
