< 出エジプト記 14 >
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 イスラエルの子孫に言て轉回てミグドルと海の間なるピハヒロテの前にあたりてバアルゼポンの前に幕を張しめよ其にむかひて海の傍に幕を張るべし
Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 パロ、イスラエルの子孫の事をかたりて彼等はその地に迷ひをりて曠野に閉こめられたるならんといふべければなり
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 我パロの心を剛愎にすべければパロ彼等の後を追はん我パロとその凡の軍勢に由て譽を得エジプト人をして吾ヱホバなるを知しめんと彼等すなはち斯なせり
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the LORD. And they did so.
5 茲に民の逃さりたることエジプト王に聞えければパロとその臣下等民の事につきて心を變じて言ふ我等何て斯イスラエルを去しめて我に事ざらしむるがごとき事をなしたるやと
And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 パロすなはちその車を備へ民を將て己にしたがはしめ
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 撰抜の戰車六百兩にエジプトの諸の戰車および其の諸の軍長等を率ゐたり
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 ヱホバ、エジプト王パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたれば彼イスラエルの子孫の後を追ふイスラエルの子孫は高らかなる手によりて出しなり
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 エジプト人等パロの馬、車およびその騎兵と軍勢彼等の後を追てそのバアルゼポンの前なるピハヒロテの邊にて海の傍に幕を張るに追つけり
But the Egyptians pursued them (all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army) and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 パロの近よりし時イスラエルの子孫目をあげて視しにエジプト人己の後に進み來りしかば痛く懼れたり是に於てイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼號り
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
11 且モーセに言けるはエジプトに墓のあらざるがために汝われらをたづさへいだして曠野に死しむるや何故に汝われらをエジプトより導き出して斯我らに爲や
And they said to Moses, Because [there were] no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us, to conduct us out of Egypt?
12 我等がエジプトにて汝に告て我儕を棄おき我らをしてエジプト人に事しめよと言し言は是ならずや其は曠野にて死るよりもエジプト人に事るは善ればなり
[Is] not this the word that we told thee in Egypt, Saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 モーセ民にいひけるは汝ら懼るるなかれ立てヱホバが今日汝等のために爲たまはんところの救を見よ汝らが今日見たるエジプト人をば汝らかさねて復これを見ること絶てなかるべきなり
And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 ヱホバ汝等のために戰ひたまはん汝等は靜りて居るべし
The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 時にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝なんぞ我に呼はるやイスラエルの子孫に言て進みゆかしめよ
And the LORD said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 汝杖を擧げ手を海の上に伸て之を分ちイスラエルの子孫をして海の中の乾ける所を往しめよ
But lift thou thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
17 我エジプト人の心を剛愎にすべければ彼等その後にしたがひて入るべし我かくしてパロとその諸の軍勢およびそ戰車と騎兵に囚て榮譽を得ん
And I, behold I, will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.
18 我がパロとその戰車と騎兵とによりて榮譽をえん時エジプト人は我のヱホバなるを知ん
And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 爰にイスラエルの陣營の前に行る神の使者移りてその後に行けり即ち雲の柱その前面をはなれて後に立ち
And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed, and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 エジプト人の陣營とイスラエル人の陣營の間に至りけるが彼がためには雲となり暗となり是がためには夜を照せり是をもて彼と是と夜の中に相近づかざりき
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but it gave light by night [to these]: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 モーセ手を海の上に伸ければヱホバ終夜強き東風をもて海を退かしめ海を陸地となしたまひて水遂に分れたり
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
22 イスラエルの子孫海の中の乾ける所を行くに水は彼等の右左に墻となれり
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 エジプト人等パロの馬車、騎兵みなその後にしたがひて海の中に入る
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 暁にヱホバ火と雲との柱の中よりエジプト人の軍勢を望みエジプト人の軍勢を惱まし
And it came to pass, that, in the morning-watch, the LORD looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire, and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 其車の輪を脱して行に重くならしめたまひければエジプト人言ふ我儕イスラエルを離れて逃ん其はヱホバかれらのためにエジプト人と戰へばなりと
And took off their chariot-wheels, and made them to move heavily, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 時にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひける汝の手を海の上に伸て水をエジプト人とその戰車と騎兵の上に流れ反らしめよと
And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 モーセすなはち手を海の上に伸けるに夜明におよびて海本の勢力にかへりたればエジプト人之に逆ひて逃たりしがヱホバ、エジプト人を海の中に擲ちたまへり
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 即ち水流反りて戰車と騎兵を覆ひイスラエルの後にしたがひて海にいりしパロの軍勢を悉く覆へり一人も遺れる者あらざりき
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 然どイスラエルの子孫は海の中の乾ける所を歩みしが水はその右左に墻となれり
But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 斯ヱホバこの日イスラエルをエジプト人の手より救ひたまへりイスラエルはエジプト人が海邊に死をるを見たり
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
31 イスラエルまたヱホバがエジプト人に爲たまひし大なる事を見たり是に於て民ヱホバを畏れヱホバとその僕モーセを信じたり
And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
