出エジプト記 2
1 爰にレビの家の一箇の人往てレビの女を娶れり
Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
2 女妊みて男子を生みその美きを見て三月のあひだこれを匿せしが
And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
3 すでにこれを匿すあたはざるにいたりければ萑の箱舟を之がために取て之に瀝靑と樹脂を塗り子をその中に納てこれを河邊の葦の中に置り
But when she could no longer hide him, she tooke for him an arke made of reede, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laide the childe therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the riuers brinke.
4 その姉遥に立てその如何になるかを窺ふ
Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
5 茲にパロの女身を洗んとて河にくだりその婢等河の傍にあゆむ彼葦の中に箱舟あるを見て使女をつかはしてこれを取きたらしめ
Then ye daughter of Pharaoh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her maidens walked by the riuers side: and when shee sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent her maide to fet it.
6 これを啓きてその子のをるを見る嬰兒すなはち啼く彼これを憐みていひけるは是はヘブル人の子なりと
Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe: and beholde, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and sayde, This is one of the Ebrewes children.
7 時にその姉パロの女にいひけるは我ゆきてヘブルの女の中より此子をなんぢのために養ふべき乳母を呼きたらんか
Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and cal vnto thee a nurce of the Ebrew women to nurce thee the childe?
8 パロの女往よと之にいひければ女子すなはち往てその子の母を呼きたる
And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
9 パロの女かれにいひけるは此子をつれゆきて我ために之を養へ我その値をなんぢにとらせんと婦すなはちその子を取てこれを養ふ
To whome Pharaohs daughter sayde, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil reward thee. Then the woman tooke the childe and nurced him.
10 斯てその子の長ずるにおよびて之をパロの女の所にたづさへゆきければすなはちこれが子となる彼その名をモーセ(援出)と名けて言ふ我これを水より援いだせしに因ると
Nowe the childe grewe, and she brought him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drewe him out of the water.
11 茲にモーセ生長におよびて一時いでてその兄弟等の所にいたりその重荷を負ふを見しが會一箇のエジプト人が一箇のイスラエル人即ちおのれの兄弟を撃つを見たれば
And in those dayes, when Moses was growen, he went forth vnto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he sawe an Egyptian smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren.
12 右左を視まはして人のをらざるを見てそのエジプト人を撃ころし之を沙の中に埋め匿せり
And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
13 次の日また出て二人のヘブル人の相爭ふを見たればその曲き者にむかひ汝なんぞ汝の隣人を撃つやといふに
Againe he came forth the second day, and behold, two Ebrewes stroue: and he said vnto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowe?
14 彼いひけるは誰が汝を立てわれらの君とし判官としたるや汝かのエジプト人をころせしごとく我をも殺さんとするやと是においてモーセ懼れてその事かならず知れたるならんとおもへり
And hee answered, Who made thee a man of authoritie, and a iudge ouer vs? Thinkest thou to kill mee, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and sayde, Certainly this thing is knowen.
15 パロ此事を聞てモーセを殺さんともとめければモーセすなはちパロの面をさけて逃げのびミデアンの地に住り彼井の傍に坐せり
Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the lande of Midian, and hee sate downe by a well.
16 ミデアンの祭司に七人の女子ありしが彼等來りて水を汲み水鉢に盈て父の羊群に飮はんとしけるに
And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
17 牧羊者等きたりて彼らを逐はらひければモーセ起あがりて彼等をたすけその羊群に飮ふ
Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
18 彼等その父リウエルに至れる時父言けるは今日はなんぢら何ぞかく速にかへりしや
And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
19 かれらいひけるは一箇のエジプト人我らを牧羊者等の手より救いだし亦われらのために水を多く汲て羊群に飮しめたり
And they saide, A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the hand of the shepherdes, and also drew vs water ynough, and watered the sheepe.
20 父女等にいひけるは彼は何處にをるや汝等なんぞその人を遺てきたりしや彼をよびて物を食しめよと
Then he saide vnto his daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man? call him that he may eate bread.
21 モーセこの人とともに居ることを好めり彼すなはちその女子チツポラをモーセに與ふ
And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
22 彼男子を生みければモーセその名をゲルシヨム(客)と名けて言ふ我異邦に客となりをればなりと
And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
23 斯て時をふる程にジプトの王死りイスラエルの子孫その勞役の故によりて歎き號ぶにその勞役の故によりて號ぶところの聲神に達りければ
Then in processe of time, the King of Egypt dyed, and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cryed: and their crie for the bondage came vp vnto God.
24 神その長呻を聞き神そのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブになしたる契約を憶え
Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
25 神イスラエルの子孫を眷み神知しめしたまへり
So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
