出エジプト記 7
1 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは視よ我汝をしてパロにおけること神のごとくならしむ汝の兄弟アロンは汝の預言者となるべし
The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 汝はわが汝に命ずる所を盡く宣べし汝の兄弟アロンはパロに告ることを爲べし彼イスラエルの子孫をその國より出すに至らん
You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
3 我パロの心を剛愎にして吾徴と奇跡をエジプトの國に多くせん
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 然どパロ汝に聽ざるべし我すなはち吾手をエジプトに加へ大なる罰をほどこして吾軍隊わが民イスラエルの子孫をエジプトの國より出さん
Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
5 我わが手をエジプトの上に伸てイスラエルの子孫をエジプト人の中より出す時には彼等我のヱホバなるを知ん
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”
6 モーセとアロン斯おこなひヱホバの命じたまへる如くに然なしぬ
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
7 そのパロと談論ける時モーセは八十歳アロンは八十三歳なりき
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
9 パロ汝等に語りて汝ら自ら奇蹟を行へと言時には汝アロンに言べし汝の杖をとりてパロの前に擲てよと其は蛇とならん
“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”
10 是に於てモーセとアロンはパロの許にいたりヱホバの命じたまひしごとくに行へり即ちアロンその杖をパロとその臣下の前に擲しに蛇となりぬ
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
11 斯在しかばパロもまた博士と魔術士を召よせたるにエジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもてかくおこなへり
But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
12 即ち彼ら各人その杖を投たれば蛇となりけるがアロンの杖かれらの杖を呑つくせり
Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
13 然るにパロの心剛愎になりて彼らに聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
14 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるはパロは心頑にして民を去しむることを拒むなり
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
15 朝におよびて汝パロの許にいたれ視よ彼は水に臨む汝河の邊にたちて彼を逆ふべし汝かの蛇に化し杖を手にとりて居り
Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
16 彼に言ふべしヘブル人の神ヱホバ我を汝につかはして言しむ吾民を去しめて曠野にて我に事ふることを得せしめよ視よ今まで汝は聽入ざりしなり
Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
17 ヱホバかく言ふ汝これによりて我がヱホバなるを知ん視よ我わが手の杖をもて河の水を撃ん是血に變ずべし
This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
18 而して河の魚は死に河は臭くならんエジプト人は河の水を飮ことを厭ふにいたるべし
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
19 ヱホバまたモーセに言たまはく汝アロンに言へ汝の杖をとりて汝の手をエジプトの上に伸べ流水の上河々の上池塘の上一切の湖水の上に伸て血とならしめよエジプト全國に於て木石の器の中に凡て血あるにいたらん
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
20 モーセ、アロンすなはちヱホバの命じたまへるごとくに爲り即ち彼パロとその臣下の前にて杖をあげて河の水を撃しに河の水みな血に變じたり
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
21 是において河の魚死て河臭くなりエジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりき斯エジプト全國に血ありき
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
22 エジプトの法術士等もその秘術をもて斯のごとく行へりパロは心頑固にして彼等に聽ことをせざりきヱホバの言たまひし如し
But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
23 パロすなはち身をめぐらしてその家に入り此事にも心をとめざりき
Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
24 エジプト人河の水を飮ことを得ざりしかば皆飮水を得んとて河のまはりを掘たりヱホバ河を撃たまひてより後七日たちぬ
So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
