Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, O Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, gives you.
今イスラエルよ我が汝らに敎ふる法度と律法を聽てこれを行へ然せば汝らは生ることを得汝らの先祖の神ヱホバの汝らに賜ふ地にいりて之を產業となすを得べし
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
我が汝らに命ずる言は汝らこれを増しまたは減すべからず我が汝らに命ずる汝らの神ヱホバの命令を守るべし
3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor. For all the men who followed Baal-peor, Jehovah thy God has destroyed them from the midst of thee.
汝らはヱホバがバアルペオルの事によりて行ひたまひし所を目に觀たり即ちバアルペオルに從ひたる人々は汝の神ヱホバことごとく之を汝らの中間より滅し去たまひしが
4 But ye who clung to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
汝らの神ヱホバに附て離れざりし汝等はみな今日までも生ながらへ居るなり
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land where ye go in to possess it.
我はわが神ヱホバの我に命じたまひし如くに法度と律法を汝らに敎へ汝らをしてその往て獲ところの地において之を行はしめんとせり
6 Keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
然ば汝ら之を守り行ふべし然する事は國々の民の目の前において汝らの智慧たり汝らの知識たるなり彼らこの諸の法度を聞て言んこの大なる國人は必ず智慧あり知識ある民なりと
7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them, as Jehovah our God is whenever we call upon him?
われらの神ヱホバは我らがこれに龥もとむるに常に我らに近く在すなり何の國人か斯のごとく大にして神これに近く在すぞ
8 And what great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
また何の國人か斯のごとく大にして今日我が汝らの前に立るこの一切の律法の如き正しき法度と律法とを有るぞ
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life, but make them known to thy sons and thy son's sons-
汝深く自ら愼み汝の心を善く守れ恐くは汝その目に觀たる事を忘れん恐くは汝らの生存らふる日の中に其等の事汝の心を離れん汝それらの事を汝の子汝の孫に敎へよ
10 the day that thou stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and that they may teach their sons.
汝がホレブにおいて汝の神ヱホバの前に立る日にヱホバわれに言たまひけらく我ために民を集めよ我これに吾言を聽しめ之をしてその世に存らふる日の間我を畏るることを學ばせまたその子女を敎ふることを爲しめんとすと
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
是において汝らは前みよりて山の麓に立ちけるが山は火にて燒てその燄は中天に沖り暗くして雲あり黑雲深かりき
12 And Jehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. Ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form, only a voice.
時にヱホバ火の中より汝らに言ひたまひしが汝らは言詞の聲を聞る而已にて聲の外は何の像をも見ざりし
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone.
ヱホバすなはち其契約を汝らに述て汝らに之を守れと命じたまへり是すなはち十誡にしてヱホバこれを二枚の石の板に書したまふ
14 And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it.
かの時にヱホバ我に命じて汝らに法度と律法を敎へしめたまへり是汝らにその往て獲ところの地にて之を爲しめんとてなりき
15 Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves, for ye saw no manner of form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.
ホレブにおいてヱホバ火の中より汝らに言ひたまひし日には汝ら何の像をも見ざりしなり然ば汝ら深く自ら愼み
16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make for you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
道をあやまりて自己のために偶像を刻む勿れ物の像は男の形にもあれ女の形にもあれ凡て造るなかれ
17 the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
即ち地の上にをる諸の獣の像空に飛ぶ諸の鳥の像
18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth.
地に匍ふもろもろの物の像地の下の水の中に居る諸の魚の像など凡て造る勿れ
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes to heaven, and when thou see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
汝目をあげて天を望み日月星辰など凡て天の衆群を觀誘はれてこれを拝み之に事ふる勿れ是は汝の神ヱホバが一天下の萬國の人々に分ちたまひし者なり
20 But Jehovah has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
ヱホバ汝らを取り汝らを鐵の爐の中すなはちエジプトより導きいだして自己の產業の民となしたまへること今日のごとし
21 Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me because of you, and swore that I would not go over the Jordan, and that I would not go in to that good land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance,
然るにヱホバなんぢらの故によりて我を怒り我はヨルダンを濟りゆくことを得ずまた汝の神ヱホバが汝の產業に賜ひしその美地に入ことを得ずと誓ひたまへり
22 but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
我はこの地に死ざるを得ず我はヨルダンを濟りゆくことあたはずなんぢらは濟りゆきて之を獲て產業となすことを得ん
23 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of anything which Jehovah thy God has forbidden thee.
汝ら自ら愼み汝らの神ヱホバが汝らに立たまひし契約を忘れて汝の神ヱホバの禁じたまふ偶像など凡て物の像を刻むことを爲なかれ
24 For Jehovah thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
汝の神ヱホバは燬盡す火嫉妬神なり
25 When thou shall beget sons, and son's sons, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger,
汝ら子を擧け孫を得てその地に長く居におよびて若し道をあやまりて偶像など凡て物の像を刻み汝の神ヱホバの惡と觀たまふ事をなしてその震怒を惹おこすことあらば
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land to which ye go over the Jordan to possess it. Ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
我今日天と地を呼て證となす汝らはかならずそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲たる地より速かに滅亡うせん汝らはその上に汝らの日を永うする能はず必ず滅びうせん
27 And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations where Jehovah shall lead you away.
ヱホバなんぢらを國々に散したまべしヱホバの汝らを逐やりたまふ國々の中に汝らの遺る者はその數寡なからん
28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
其處にて汝らは人の手の作なる見ことも聞ことも食ふことも嗅こともなき木や石の神々に事へん
29 But from there ye shall seek Jehovah thy God. And thou shall find him when thou search after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
但しまた其處にて汝その神ヱホバを求むるあらんに若し心をつくし精神を盡してこれを求めなば之に遇ん
30 When thou are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, in the latter days thou shall return to Jehovah thy God, and hearken to his voice.
後の日にいたりて汝艱難にあひて此もろもろの事の汝に臨まん時に汝もしその神ヱホバにたち歸りてその言にしたがはば
31 For Jehovah thy God is a merciful God. He will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore to them.
汝の神ヱホバは慈悲ある神なれば汝を棄ず汝を滅さずまた汝の先祖に誓ひたりし契約を忘れたまはざるべし
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
試に問へ汝の前に過さりし日神が地の上に人を造りたまひし日より已來天の此極より彼極までに曾て斯のごとき大なる事ありしや是のごとき事の聞えたる事ありしや
33 Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou have heard, and live?
曾て人神が火の中より言ふ聲を汝らが聞るごとくに聞て尚生る者ありしや
34 Or has God assayed to go and take for him a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
汝らの神ヱホバがエジプトにおいて汝らの目の前にて汝らの爲に諸の事を爲たまひし如く曾て試探と徴證と奇蹟と戰爭と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる恐嚇をもて來りこの民をかの民の中より領いださんとせし神ありしや
35 It was shown to thee, that thou might know that Jehovah he is God. There is none else besides him.
汝にこの事を示ししはヱホバはすなはち神にしてその外には有ことなしと汝に知しめんがためなりき
36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee. And upon earth he made thee to see his great fire, and thou heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
汝を敎へんためにヱホバ天より汝に聲を聞しめ地に於てはまたその大なる火を汝に示したまへり即ち汝はその言の火の中より出るを聞り
37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt,
ヱホバ汝の先祖等を愛したまひしが故にその後の子孫を選び大なる能力をもて親ら汝をエジプトより導き出したまひ
38 to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
汝よりも大にして強き國々の民を汝の前より逐はらひ汝をその地に導きいりて之を汝の產業に與へんとしたまふこと今日のごとくなり
39 Know therefore this day, and lay it to thy heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath. There is none else.
然ば汝今日知て心に思念べし上は天下は地においてヱホバは神にいましその外には神有こと無し
40 And thou shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, and that thou may prolong thy days in the land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee, forever.
今日わが汝に命ずるヱホバの法度と命令を守るべし然せば汝と汝の後の子孫祥を得汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ地において汝その日を永うすることを得て疆なからん
41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,
斯てモーセ、ヨルダンの此旁日の出る方にないて邑三を別てり
42 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past, and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
是素より怨なきに誤りて人を殺せる者をして其處に逃れしむる爲なり其邑の一に逃るる時はその人生命を全うするを得べし
43 namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
即ち一は曠野の内の平野にあるベゼル是はルベン人のためなり一はギレアデのラモテ是はガド人のためなり一はバシヤンのゴラン是はマナセ人のためなり
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel.
モーセがイスラエルの子孫の前に示しし律法は是なり
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,
イスラエルの子孫のエジプトより出たる後モーセこの誡命と法度と律法を之に述たり
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote when they came forth out of Egypt.
即ちヨルダンの此旁なるアモリ人の王シホンの地にありベテペオルに對する谷に於て之を述たりシホンはヘシボンに住をりしがモーセとイスラエルの子孫エジプトより出きたりし後これを撃ほろぼして
47 And they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,
之が地を獲またバシヤンの王オグの地を獲たり彼ら二人はアモリ人の王にしてヨルダンの此旁日の出る方に居り
48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to mount Sion (the same is Hermon),
その獲たる地はアルノン河の邊なるアロエルよりヘルモンといふシオン山にいたり
49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
ヨルダンの此旁すなはちその東の方なるアラバの全部を括てアラバの鹽海に達しピスガの麓におよべり
