< 出エジプト記 19 >
1 イスラエルの子孫エジプトの地を出て後第三月にいたりて其日にシナイの曠野に至る
And in the third month of the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina.
2 即ちかれらレピデムを出たちてシナイの曠野にいたり曠野に幕を張り彼處にてイスラエルは山の前に營を設けたり
And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 爰にモーセ登て神に詣るにヱホバ山より彼を呼て言たまはく汝かくヤコブの家に言ひイスラエルの子孫に告べし
And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report them to the children of Israel.
4 汝らはエジプト人に我がなしたるところの事を見我が鷲の翼をのべて汝らを負て我にいたらしめしを見たり
You have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.
5 然ば汝等もし善く我が言を聽きわが契約を守らば汝等は諸の民に愈りてわが寶となるべし全地はわが所有なればなり
And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.
6 汝等は我に對して祭司の國となり聖き民となるべし是等の言語を汝イスラエルの子孫に告べし
And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.
7 是に於てモーセ來りて民の長老等を呼びヱホバの己に命じたまひし言を盡くその前に陳たれば
And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them.
8 民皆等く應へて言けるはヱホバの言たまひし所は皆われら之を爲べしとモーセすなはち民の言をヱホバに告ぐ
And all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God has spoken, we will do and listen to: and Moses reported these words to God.
9 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは觀よ我密雲の中にをりて汝に臨む是民をして我が汝と語るを聞しめて汝を永く信ぜしめんがためなりとモーセ民の言をヱホバに告たり
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold! I come to you in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to you, and may believe you for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
10 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝民の所に往て今日明日これを聖め之にその衣服を澣せ
And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them today and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 準備をなして三日を待て其は第三日にヱホバ全體の民の目の前にてシナイ山に降ればなり
And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.
12 汝民のために四周に境界を設けて言べし汝等愼んで山に登るなかれその境界に捫るべからず山に捫る者はかならず殺さるべし
And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die.
13 手を之に觸べからず其者はかならす石にて撃ころされ或は射ころさるべし獣と人とを言ず生ることを得じ喇叭を長く吹鳴さば人々山に上るべしと
A hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.
14 モーセすなはち山を下り民にいたりて民を聖め民その衣服を濯ふ
And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.
15 モーセ民に言けるは準備をなして三日を待て婦人に近づくべからず
And he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a woman.
16 かくて三日の朝にいたりて雷と電および密雲山の上にあり又喇叭の聲ありて甚だ高かり營にある民みな震ふ
And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.
17 モーセ營より民を引いでて神に會しむ民山の麓に立に
And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp.
18 シナイ山都て煙を出せりヱホバ火の中にありてその上に下りたまへばなりその煙竃の煙のごとく立のぼり山すべて震ふ
The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.
19 喇叭の聲彌高くなりゆきてばげしくなりける時モーセ言を出すに神聲をもて應へたまふ
And the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.
20 ヱホバ、シナイ山に下りその山の頂上にいまし而してヱホバ山の頂上にモーセを召たまひければモーセ上れり
And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは下りて民を警めよ恐らくは民推破りてヱホバに來りて見んとし多の者死るにいたらん
And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw near to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall.
22 又ヱホバに近くところの祭司等にその身を潔めしめよ恐くはヱホバかれらを撃ん
And let the priests that draw near to the Lord God sanctify themselves, destroy some of them.
23 モーセ、ヱホバに言けるは民はシナイ山に得のぼらじ其は汝われらを警めて山の四周に境界をたて山を聖めよと言たまひたればなり
And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for you have solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.
24 ヱホバかれに言たまひけるは往け下れ而して汝とアロンともに上り來るべし但祭司等と民には推破りてにのぼりきたらしめざれ恐らくは我かれらを撃ん
And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up you and Aaron with you; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.
And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
