< 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
And Yhwh said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy 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
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel 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
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my 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
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
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 shall know that I am Yhwh, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel 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
And Moses and Aaron did as Yhwh commanded them, so did they.
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
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
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 shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall 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
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yhwh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, 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
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
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
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
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
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as Yhwh 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
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth 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
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
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
And thou shalt say unto him, Yhwh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
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
Thus saith Yhwh, In this thou shalt know that I am Yhwh: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned 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
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
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 Yhwh spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of 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
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Yhwh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were 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
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all 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
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yhwh 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
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
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
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that Yhwh had smitten the river.
