< Exodus 9 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるはパロの所にいりてかれに告よヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我につかふることをえせしめよ
2 If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
汝もし彼等をさらしむることを拒みて尚かれらを拘留へなば
3 I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
ヱホバの手野にをる汝の家畜馬驢馬駱駝牛および羊に加はらん即ち甚だ惡き疾あるべし
4 But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
ヱホバ、イスラエルの家畜とエジプトの家畜とを別ちたまはんイスラエルの子孫に屬する者は死る者あらざるべしと
5 [Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
ヱホバまた期をさだめて言たまふ明日ヱホバこの事を國になさんと
6 The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
明日ヱホバこの事をなしたまひければエジプトの家畜みな死り然どイスラエルの子孫の家畜は一も死ざりき
7 The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
パロ人をつかはして見さしめたるにイスラエルの家畜は一頭だにも死ざりき然どもパロは心剛愎にして民をさらしめざりき
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
またヱホバ、モーセとアロンにいひたまひけるは汝等竃爐の灰を一握とれ而してモーセ、パロの目の前にて天にむかひて之をまきちらすべし
9 The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
其灰エジプト全國に塵となりてエジプト全國の人と畜獣につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物とならんと
10 So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
彼等すなはち竃爐の灰をとりてパロの前に立ちモーセ天にむかひて之をまきちらしければ人と獣畜につき膿をもちて脹るる腫物となれり
11 Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
法術士等はその腫物のためにモーセの前に立つことを得ざりき腫物は法術士等よりして諸のエジプト人にまで生じたり
12 But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
然どヱホバ、パロの心を剛愎にしたまひたれば彼らに聽ざりきヱホバのモーセに言給ひし如し
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
爰にヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは朝早くおきてパロの前にたちて彼に言へヘブル人の神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ吾民を去しめて我に事ふるをえせしめよ
14 [If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
我此度わが諸の災害を汝の心となんぢの臣下およびなんぢの民に降し全地に我ごとき者なきことを汝に知しめん
15 By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
我もしわが手を伸べ疫病をもて汝となんぢの民を撃たらば汝は地より絶れしならん
16 But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
抑わが汝をたてたるは即ちなんぢをしてわが權能を見さしめわが名を全地に傳へんためなり
17 You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
汝なほ吾民の前に立ふさがりて之を去しめざるや
18 So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
視よ明日の今頃我はなはだ大なる雹を降すべし是はエジプトの開國より今までに嘗てあらざりし者なり
19 So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
然ば人をやりて汝の家畜および凡て汝が野に有る物を集めよ人も獣畜も凡て野にありて家に歸らざる者は雹その上にふりくだりて死るにたらん
20 Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
パロの臣下の中ヱホバの言を畏る者はその僕と家畜を家に逃いらしめしが
21 But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
ヱホバの言を意にとめざる者はその僕と家畜を野に置り
22 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
ヱホバ、モーセにいひたまひけるは汝の手を天に舒てエジプト全國に雹あらしめエジプトの國中の人と獣畜と田圃の諸の蔬にふりくだらしめよと
23 So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
モーセ天にむかひて杖を舒たればヱホバ雷と雹を遣りたまふ又火いでて地に馳すヱホバ雹をエジプトの地に降せたまふ
24 While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
斯雹ふり又火の塊雹に雑りて降る甚だ勵しエジプト全國には其國を成てよりこのかた未だ斯る者あらざりしなり
25 The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
雹エジプト全國に於て人と獣畜とをいはず凡て田圃にをる者を撃り雹また田圃の諸の蔬を撃ち野の諸の樹を折り
26 Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
唯イスラエルの子孫のをるゴセンの地には雹あらざりき
27 Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
是に於てパロ人をつかはしてモーセとアロンを召てこれに言けるは我此度罪ををかしたりヱホバは義く我とわが民は惡し
28 (Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
ヱホバに願ひてこの神鳴と雹を最早これにて足しめよ我なんぢらを去しめん汝等今は留るにおよばず
29 Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
モーセかれに曰けるは我邑より出て我手をヱホバに舒ひろげん然ば雷やみて雹かさねてあらざるべし斯して地はヱホバの所屬なるを汝にしらしめん
30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
然ど我しる汝となんぢの臣下等はなほヱホバ神を畏れざるならんと
31 When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
偖麻と大麥は撃れたり大麥は穂いで麻は花さきゐたればなり
32 But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
然ど小麥と裸麥は未だ長ざりしによりて撃れざりき
33 So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
モーセ、パロをはなれて邑より出でヱホバにむかひて手をのべひろげたれば雷と雹やみて雨地にふらずなりぬ
34 But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
然るにパロ雨と雹と雷鳴のやみたるを見て復も罪を犯し其心を剛硬にす彼もその臣下も然り
35 So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
即ちパロは心剛愎にしてイスラエルの子孫を去しめざりきヱホバのモーセによりて言たまひしごとし
