出エジプト記 33

1 茲にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝と汝がエジプトの國より導き上りし民此を起いでて我がアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひて之を汝の子孫に與へんと言しその地に上るべし

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—Get thee away, go up from hence, thou, and the people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, —into the land of which I sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed, will I give it;

2 我一の使を遣して汝に先だたしめん我カナン人アモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人を逐はらひ

And I will send before thee a messenger, -and will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;

3 なんぢらをして乳と蜜の流るる地にいたらしむべし我は汝の中にをりては共に上らじ汝は項の強き民なれば恐くは我途にて汝を滅すにいたらん

into a land flowing with milk and honey, —for I will not go up in thy midst in that a stiff-necked people, thou art, lest I consume thee in the way.

4 民この惡き告を聞て憂へ一人もその妝飾を身につくる者なし

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they afflicted themselves, —and they put not, any man, his ornaments upon him.

5 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるはイスラエルの子孫に言へ汝等は項の強き民なり我もし一刻も汝の中にありて往ば汝を滅すにいたらん然ば今汝らの妝飾を身より取すてよ然せば我汝に爲べきことを知んと

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye, are a stiff-necked people, in one moment—if I should go up in thy midst, should I make an end of thee, —Now, therefore lay down thine ornaments from off thee, that I may see what I must do with thee.

6 是をもてイスラエルの子孫ホレブ山より以來はその妝飾を取すてて居ぬ

So then the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, [and moved on] from Mount Horeb.

7 モーセ幕屋をとりてこれを營の外に張て營と遥に離れしめ之を集會の幕屋と名けたり凡てヱホバに求むることのある者は出ゆきて營の外なるその集會の幕屋にいたる

And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, —and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of the camp.

8 モーセの出て幕屋にいたる時には民みな起あがりてモーセが幕屋にいるまで各々その天幕の門口に立てかれを見る

And it came about, that, when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people used to rise up, and station themselves every man at the opening of his tent, —and they watched Moses, until he entered the tent.

9 モーセ幕屋にいれば雲の柱くだりて幕屋の門口に立つ而してヱホバ、モーセとものいひたまふ

And it came to pass that when Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the opening of the tent, —and spake with Moses.

10 民みな幕屋の門口に雲の柱の立つを見れば民みな起て各人その天幕の門口にて拝をなす

And when all the people beheld the pillar of cloud, standing at the opening of the tent, then all the people rose up and bowed themselves down, every man at the entrance of his tent.

11 人がその友に言談ごとくにヱホバ、モーセと面をあはせてものいひたまふモーセはその天幕に歸りしがその僕なる少者ヌンの子ヨシユアは幕屋を離れざりき

Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, —and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.

12 茲にモーセ、ヱホバに言けるは視たまへ汝はこの民を導き上れと我に言たまひながら誰を我とともに遣したまふかを我にしらしめたまはず汝かつて言たまひけらく我名をもて汝を知る汝はまた我前に恩を得たりと

Then said Moses, unto Yahweh, See! thou art saying unto me—Take up this people, and yet thou hast no let me know whom thou wilt send with me, —though thou thyself, didst say—I acknowledge thee by name, Yea, moreover, thou hast found favour in mine eyes.

13 然ば我もし誠に汝の目の前に恩を得たらば願くは汝の道を我に示して我に汝を知しめ我をして汝の目の前に恩を得せしめたまへ又汝この民の汝の有なるを念たまへ

Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, —see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own people.

14 ヱホバ言たまひけるは我親汝と共にゆくべし我汝をして安泰にならしめん

So then he said, —Mine own presence, shall go on thus will I give thee rest.

15 モーセ、ヱホバに言けるは汝もしみづから行たまはずは我等を此より上らしめたまふ勿れ

And he said unto him, If thy presence is not going on, do not take us up from hence.

16 我と汝の民とが汝の目の前に恩を得ることは如何にして知るべきや是汝が我等とともに往たまひて我と汝の民とが地の諸の民に異る者となるによるにあらずや

Whereby, indeed, shall it be known then that I have found favour in thine eyes, I, and thy people? Shall it not be, by thy going on with us? So shall we be more distinguished, I, and thy people, than any people that are on the face of the ground.

17 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝が言るこの事をも我爲ん汝はわが目の前に恩を得たればなり我名をもて汝を知なり

Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Even this thing, which thou hast spoken, will I do—For thou hast found favour in mine eyes, And I have acknowledged thee by name.

18 モーセ願くは汝の榮光を我に示したまへと言ければ

And he said, —Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.

19 ヱホバ言たまはく我わが諸の善を汝の前に通らしめヱホバの名を汝の前に宣ん我は惠んとする者を惠み憐まんとする者を憐むなり

And he said, —I, will cause all my goodness to pass before thee. And will proclaim myself by the name Yahweh, before thee, And will show favour, unto whom I may show favour, And will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.

20 又言たまはく汝はわが面を見ることあたはず我を見て生る人あらざればなり

But he said—Thou canst not see my face, For no son of earth can see me, and live

21 而してヱホバ言たまひけるは視よ我が傍に一の處あり汝磐の上に立べし

And Yahweh, said, Lo! a place near me, —So then thou shalt station thyself upon the rock:

22 吾榮光其處を過る時に我なんぢを磐の穴にいれ我が過る時にわが手をもて汝を蔽はん

And it shall be while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, —and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 而してわが手を除る時に汝わが背後を見るべし吾面は見るべきにあらず

Then will I take away my hand, and thou shalt see behind me, But, my face, must not be seen.
