出エジプト記 15
1 そこでモーセとイスラエルの人々は、この歌を主にむかって歌った。彼らは歌って言った、「主にむかってわたしは歌おう、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた。
Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
2 主はわたしの力また歌、わたしの救となられた、彼こそわたしの神、わたしは彼をたたえる、彼はわたしの父の神、わたしは彼をあがめる。
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 主はいくさびと、その名は主。
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
4 彼はパロの戦車とその軍勢とを海に投げ込まれた、そのすぐれた指揮者たちは紅海に沈んだ。
He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 大水は彼らをおおい、彼らは石のように淵に下った。
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 主よ、あなたの右の手は力をもって栄光にかがやく、主よ、あなたの右の手は敵を打ち砕く。
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 あなたは大いなる威光をもって、あなたに立ちむかう者を打ち破られた。あなたが怒りを発せられると、彼らは、わらのように焼きつくされた。
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
8 あなたの鼻の息によって水は積みかさなり、流れは堤となって立ち、大水は海のもなかに凝り固まった。
You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
9 敵は言った、『わたしは追い行き、追い着いて、分捕物を分かち取ろう、わたしの欲望を彼らによって満たそう、つるぎを抜こう、わたしの手は彼らを滅ぼそう』。
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
10 あなたが息を吹かれると、海は彼らをおおい、彼らは鉛のように、大水の中に沈んだ。
But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
11 主よ、神々のうち、だれがあなたに比べられようか、だれがあなたのように、聖にして栄えあるもの、ほむべくして恐るべきもの、くすしきわざを行うものであろうか。
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 あなたが右の手を伸べられると、地は彼らをのんだ。
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
13 あなたは、あがなわれた民を恵みをもって導き、み力をもって、あなたの聖なるすまいに伴われた。
You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 もろもろの民は聞いて震え、ペリシテの住民は苦しみに襲われた。
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 エドムの族長らは、おどろき、モアブの首長らは、わななき、カナンの住民は、みな溶け去った。
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
16 恐れと、おののきとは彼らに臨み、み腕の大いなるゆえに、彼らは石のように黙した、主よ、あなたの民の通りすぎるまで、あなたが買いとられた民の通りすぎるまで。
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
17 あなたは彼らを導いて、あなたの嗣業の山に植えられる。主よ、これこそあなたのすまいとして、みずから造られた所、主よ、み手によって建てられた聖所。
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 主は永遠に統べ治められる」。
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
19 パロの馬が、その戦車および騎兵と共に海にはいると、主は海の水を彼らの上に流れ返らされたが、イスラエルの人々は海の中のかわいた地を行った。
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
20 そのとき、アロンの姉、女預言者ミリアムはタンバリンを手に取り、女たちも皆タンバリンを取って、踊りながら、そのあとに従って出てきた。
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
21 そこでミリアムは彼らに和して歌った、「主にむかって歌え、彼は輝かしくも勝ちを得られた、彼は馬と乗り手を海に投げ込まれた」。
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 さて、モーセはイスラエルを紅海から旅立たせた。彼らはシュルの荒野に入り、三日のあいだ荒野を歩いたが、水を得なかった。
Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
23 彼らはメラに着いたが、メラの水は苦くて飲むことができなかった。それで、その所の名はメラと呼ばれた。
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 ときに、民はモーセにつぶやいて言った、「わたしたちは何を飲むのですか」。
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
25 モーセは主に叫んだ。主は彼に一本の木を示されたので、それを水に投げ入れると、水は甘くなった。その所で主は民のために定めと、おきてを立てられ、彼らを試みて、
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
26 言われた、「あなたが、もしあなたの神、主の声に良く聞き従い、その目に正しいと見られることを行い、その戒めに耳を傾け、すべての定めを守るならば、わたしは、かつてエジプトびとに下した病を一つもあなたに下さないであろう。わたしは主であって、あなたをいやすものである」。
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
27 こうして彼らはエリムに着いた。そこには水の泉十二と、なつめやしの木七十本があった。その所で彼らは水のほとりに宿営した。
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
