出エジプト記 13
1 爰にヱホバ、モーセに告ていひたまひけるは
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 人と畜とを論ず凡てイスラエルの子孫の中の始て生れたる首生をば皆聖別て我に歸せしむべし是わが所屬なればなり
Hallow to me every firstborn, that which any female first beareth among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —mine! it is.
3 モーセ民にいひけるは汝等エジプトを出で奴隸たる家を出るこの日を誌えよヱホバ能ある手をもて汝等を此より導きいだしたまへばなり酵いれたるパンを食ふべからず
And Moses said unto the people—[Ye are] to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, —there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.
4 アビブの月の此日なんぢら出づ
To-day, are, ye, coming forth, —in the month Abib.
5 ヱホバ汝を導きてカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人ヒビ人エブス人の地すなはちその汝にあたへんと汝の先祖たちに誓ひたまひし彼乳と蜜の流るる地に至らしめたまはん時なんぢ此月に是禮式を守るべし
And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.
6 七日の間なんぢ酵いれぬパンを食ひ第七日にヱホバの節筵をなすべし
Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.
7 酵いれぬパンを七日くらふべし酵いれたるパンを汝の所におくなかれ又汝の境の中にて汝の許にパン酵をおくなかれ
Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, —neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,
8 汝その日に汝の子に示して言べし是は吾がエジプトより出る時にヱホバの我に爲したまひし事のためなりと
And thou shalt tell thy son, on that day, saying, —[This is] because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.
9 斯是をなんぢの手におきて記號となし汝の目の間におきて記號となしてヱホバの法律を汝の口に在しむべし其はヱホバ能ある手をもて汝をエジプトより導きいだしたまへばなり
And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, —for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.
10 是故に年々その期にいたりてこの例をまもるべし
So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, —from year to year.
11 ヱホバ汝となんぢの先祖等に誓ひたまひしごとく汝をカナン人の地にみちびきて之を汝に與へたまはん時
And it shall be when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware to thee and to thy fathers, —and shalt give it thee,
12 汝凡て始て生れたる者及び汝の有る畜の初生を悉く分ちてヱホバに歸せしむべし男牡はヱホバの所屬なるべし
that thou shalt set apart whatsoever is born first, to Yahweh; and, of all firstlings of beasts which thou shalt have, the males, shall pertain to Yahweh.
13 又驢馬の初子は皆羔羊をもて贖ふべしもし贖はずばその頸を折るべし汝の子等の中の長子なる人はみな贖ふべし
But every firstling of an ass, shalt thou redeem with a lamb or if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck, —but every firstborn of men among thy sons, shalt thou redeem.
14 後に汝の子汝に問て是は何なると言ばこれに言べしヱホバ能ある手をもて我等をエジプトより出し奴隸たりし家より出したまへり
And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.
15 當時パロ剛愎にして我等を去しめざりしかばヱホバ、エジプトの國の中の長子たる者を人の長子より畜の初生まで盡く殺したまへり是故に始めて生れし牡を盡くヱホバに犠牲に献ぐ但しわが子等の中の長子は之を贖ふなり
And it came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.
16 是をなんぢの手におきて號となし汝の目の間におきて誌となすべしヱホバ能ある手をもて我等をエジプトより導きいだしたまひたればなりと
And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, —that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.
17 偖パロ民をさらしめし時ペリシテ人の地は近かりけれども神彼等をみちびきて其地を通りたまはざりき其は民戰爭を見ば悔てエジプトに歸るならんと神おもひたまひたればなり
And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, —for God said—Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.
18 神紅海の曠野の道より民を導きたまふイスラエルの子孫行伍をたててエジプトの國より出づ
So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, —and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.
19 其時モーセはヨセフの骨を携ふ是はヨセフ神かならず汝らを眷みたまふべければ汝らわが骨を此より携へ出づべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を固く誓せたればなり
And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, —for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.
20 斯てかれらスコテより進みて曠野の端なるエタム比幕張す
And they brake up from Succoth, —and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.
21 ヱホバかれらの前に往たまひ晝は雲の柱をもてかれらを導き夜は火の柱をもて彼らを照して晝夜往すすましめたまふ
Now, Yahweh, was going before them—by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, —that they might journey day and night:
22 民の前に晝は雲の柱を除きたまはず夜は火の柱をのぞきたまはず
the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, —from before the people.
