出エジプト記 19

シナイ山にて
19 エジプトを出てから三か月後、イスラエル人はシナイ半島に入りました。 2-3 レフィディムの野営地をたたみ、シナイ山のふもとに来て、そこにテントを張ったのです。モーセは神に会うため、ごつごつした岩山を登りました。すると、どこからともなく、主の呼ぶ声が聞こえました。「モーセ、人々にわたしのことばとして伝えなさい。 4 『あなたがたはわたしがエジプト人に何をしたか見た。わしの翼に乗せるようにして、あなたがたをわたしのところへ連れて来たのを見た。 5 もし、わたしに従い、契約を守るなら、あなたがたは地上のあらゆる国々の中にあって、わたしの大切な民となる。全世界はわたしのものだからだ。 6 あなたがたは神に仕える祭司の国、聖なる民となる。』」
7 モーセは山から帰ると指導者たちを呼び集め、主のことばを伝えました。
8 「私たちは、主がせよと言われることは、必ずそのとおり行います。」一同は口をそろえて答えました。
9 モーセがそのことばを伝えると、主はモーセに語りました。「わたしは厚い雲の中からあなたと会おう。あなたと話す時、民もわたしの声を自分の耳で聞けるようにしよう。そうすれば、彼らはいつもあなたを信じるだろう。 10 さあ、山を下りなさい。わたしが行ってもいいように、人々に準備をさせなさい。今日と明日、特別に身をきよめ、衣服を洗うように言いなさい。 11 三日目に、わたしは人々全員が見守る中で、シナイ山に降りる。 12 間違って人々がそこへ足を踏み入れたりしないよう、周囲に境界線を引きなさい。そしてこう言うのだ。『気をつけよ。山へ登ってはならない。境界線に触れてもいけない。万一そんなことをしたらいのちはないものと思いなさい。 13 よいか、決して手を触れてはならない。さもないと、人であろうと動物であろうと、石で打ち殺されるか、刺し殺されることになる。』雄羊の角笛が長く響き渡るのを聞くまで、山へは絶対近づかないようにしなさい。角笛が鳴ったら山のふもとに集まりなさい。」
14 モーセは山を下り、民のところに帰ると、すぐに身をきよめ、衣服を洗うように言いました。 15 「二日後に神様がおいでになるから、準備をしなさい。男は女に近づいてはならない。」
16 いよいよ三日目です。朝から恐ろしい嵐になりました。雷は耳をつんざき、いなずまは宙を走ります。厚い雲が山に垂れ込め、雄羊の角笛のような大きな音が長く響き渡りました。あまりの恐ろしさに、人々はみな震え上がりました。 17 神をお迎えしなければなりません。モーセは人々を促して野営地から連れ出し、全員が山のふもとに立ちました。 18 見ると、シナイ山全体が煙に包まれています。主が山の上に、炎に包まれて下ったのです。煙は、まるで炉に燃えさかる火のように空に渦巻き、山全体が強い地震で揺れ動きました。 19 ラッパのような響きがますます大きくなる中で、モーセが語り、神の答える声は天地にとどろき渡るのでした。 20 こうして、主はシナイ山の頂上に降り、モーセを招きました。モーセは主のもとに登って行きました。
21 しかし、主はモーセに告げました。「今すぐ下り、決して境界線を越えないよう人々に警告して来なさい。主を見ようという気を起こして、ここへ来るといけないからだ。そんなことをしたらいのちはない。 22 祭司でさえ、務めをするときは主に打たれないよう身をきよめるのだ。」
23 モーセは主に言いました。「だれ一人、山へ登って来る者はありません。あなたのきびしいご命令を、みな聞いております。あなたは山の回りに境界線を引けとおっしゃいました。あなたの場所だから人が入ってはならないと宣告するよう、お命じになったからです。」
24 主は彼に言いました。「とにかく、今は山を下りなさい。今度はアロンを連れて来るのだ。しかし、祭司も民も境界線を越すことは決して許されない。そんなわきまえのない者は滅ぼす。」
25 そこでモーセは山を下りて人々のところに行き、主の語ったことを告げました。
Exodus 19
King James Version
19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Exodus 19
New King James Version
Israel at Mount Sinai
19 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, (A)they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they had departed from (B)Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before (C)the mountain.
3 And (D)Moses went up to God, and the Lord (E)called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 (F)‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (G)I [a]bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now (H)therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and (I)keep My covenant, then (J)you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is (K)Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a (L)kingdom of priests and a (M)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 So Moses came and called for the (N)elders of the people, and [b]laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him. 8 Then (O)all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord. 9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you (P)in the thick cloud, (Q)that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.”
So Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (R)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. (S)Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; (T)do not come near your wives.”
16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were (U)thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp (V)trembled. 17 And (W)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (X)Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon (Y)it in fire. (Z)Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and [c]the (AA)whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, (AB)Moses spoke, and (AC)God answered him by voice. 20 Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through (AD)to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish. 22 Also let the (AE)priests who come near the Lord (AF)consecrate themselves, lest the Lord (AG)break out against them.”
23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, (AH)‘Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.’ ”
24 Then the Lord said to him, “Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
