< 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
In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
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
When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; 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
Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell 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 what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you 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
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from amongst all peoples; for all the 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 kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall 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
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
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
All the people answered together, and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
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
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told 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
The LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, 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 be ready for the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
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
You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
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
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to 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
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; 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
He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with 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
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were 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
Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
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
All of Mount Sinai smoked, because the LORD descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
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
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by 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
The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. 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
The LORD said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
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
Let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break out on 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
Moses said to the LORD, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around 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
The LORD said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them.”
25 モーセ民にくだりゆきてこれに告たり
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
