出エジプト記 5
1 その後モーセとアロン入てパロにいふイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我民を去しめ彼等をして曠野に於て我を祭ることをえせしめよと
And afterward Moses and Aaron have entered, and they say to Pharaoh, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Send My people away, and they keep a celebration for Me in the wilderness”;
2 パロいひけるはヱホバは誰なればか我その聲にしたがひてイスラエルを去しむべき我ヱホバを識ず亦イスラエルを去しめじ
and Pharaoh says, “Who [is] YHWH, that I listen to His voice to send Israel away? I have not known YHWH, and I also do not send Israel away.”
3 彼ら言けるはヘブル人の神我らに顯れたまへり請ふ我等をして三日程ほど曠野にいりてわれらの神ヱホバに犠牲をささぐることをえせしめよ恐くはヱホバ疫病か又は刀兵をもて我らをなやましたまはん
And they say, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.”
4 エジプト王かれらに言けるは汝等モーセ、アロンなんぞ民の操作を妨ぐるや往てなんぢらの荷を負へ
And the king of Egypt says to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you free the people from its works? Go to your burdens.”
5 パロまたいふ土民今は多かり然るに汝等かれらをして荷をおふことを止しめんとす
Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
6 パロ此日民が驅使ふ者等および民の有司等に命じていふ
And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
7 汝等再び前のごとく民に磚瓦を造る禾稈を與ふべからず彼等をして往てみづから禾稈をあつめしめよ
“You do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as before—they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
8 また彼等が前に造りし磚瓦の數のごとくに仍かれらに之をつくらしめよ其を減すなかれ彼等は懈惰が故に我儕をして往てわれらの神に犠牲をささげしめよと呼はり言ふなり
and you put on them the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making before, you do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
9 人々の工作を重くして之に勞かしめよ然ば偽の言を聽ことあらじと
let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
10 民を驅使ふ者等およびその有司等出ゆきて民にいひけるはパロかく言たまふ我なんぢらに禾稈をあたへじ
And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh: I do not give you straw,
11 汝等往て禾稈のある處にて之をとれ但しなんぢらの工作は分毫も減さざるべしと
you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
12 是において民遍くエジプトの地に散て草藁をあつめて禾稈となす
And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
13 驅使者かれらを促たてて言ふ禾稈のありし時のごとく汝らの工作汝らの日々の業をなしをふべしと
and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
14 パロの驅使者等がイスラエルの子孫の上に立たるところの有司等撻れなんぢら何ぞ昨日も今日も磚瓦を作るところの汝らの業を前のごとくに爲しをへざるやと言る
And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, “Why have you not completed your portion in making brick as before, both yesterday and today?”
15 是に於てイスラエルの子孫の有司等來りてパロに呼はりて言ふ汝なんぞ斯僕等になすや
And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
16 僕等に禾稈を與へずしてわれらに磚瓦を作れといふ視よ僕等は撻る是なんぢの民の過なりと
Straw is not given to your servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and behold, your servants are struck—and your people have sinned.”
17 然るにパロいふ汝等は懶惰し懶惰し故に汝らは我らをして往てヱホバに犠牲をささげしめよと言ふなり
And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
18 然ば汝ら往て操作けよ禾稈はなんぢらに與ふることなかるべけれどなんぢら尚數のごとくに磚瓦を交納むべしと
and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
19 イスラエルの子孫の有司等汝等その日々につくる磚瓦を減すべからずと言るを聞て災害の身におよぶを知り
And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, “You do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.”
20 彼らパロをはなれて出たる時モーセとアロンの對面にたてるを見たれば
And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
21 之にいひけるは願くはヱホバ汝等を鑒みて鞫きたまへ汝等はわれらの臭をパロの目と彼の僕の目に忌嫌はれしめ刀を彼等の手にわたして我等を殺さしめんとするなりと
and say to them, “YHWH look on you, and judge, because you have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants—to give a sword into their hand to slay us.”
22 モーセ、ヱホバに返りて言ふわが主よ何て此民をあしくしたまふや何のために我をつかはしたまひしや
And Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Lord, why have You done evil to this people? Why [is] this [that] You have sent me?
23 わがパロの許に來りて汝の名をもて語りしよりして彼この民をあしくす汝また絶てなんぢの民をすくひたまはざるなり
And since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
