Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years,
ヱホバ、イスラエルの四方の敵をことごとく除きて安息をイスラエルに賜ひてより久しき後すなはちヨシユア年邁みて老たる後
2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and well stricken in years,
ヨシユア一切のイスラエル人すなはち其長老首領裁判人官吏などを招きよせて之に言けるは
3 and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God, he it is who has fought for you.
我は年すすみて老ゆ汝らは已に汝らの神ヱホバが汝らのために此もろもろの國人に行ひたまひし事を盡く見たり即ち汝らの神ヱホバみづから汝らのために戰ひたまへり
4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
視よ我ヨルダンより日の入る方大海までの此もろもろの漏のこれる國々および已に滅ぼしたる一切の國々を籤にて汝らに分ちて汝らの支派の產業となさしめたり
5 And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. And ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spoke to you.
汝らの神ヱホバみづから汝らの前よりその國民を打攘ひ汝らの目の前よりこれを逐はらひたまはん而して汝らは汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに宣まひしごとく之が地を獲にいたるべし
6 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye not turn aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
然ば汝ら勵みてモーセの律法の書に記されたる所を盡く守り行なへ之を離れて右にも左にも曲るなかれ
7 that ye do not come among these nations, these that remain among you, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves down to them,
汝らの中間に遺りをる是等の國人の中に往なかれ彼らの神の名を唱ふるなかれ之を指て誓はしむる勿れ又これに事へこれを拝むなかれ
8 but cling to Jehovah your God as ye have done to this day.
惟今日まで爲たるごとく汝らの神ヱホバに附したがへ
9 For Jehovah has driven out from before you great nations and strong. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
それヱホバは大にして且強き國民を汝らの前より逐はらひたまへり汝らには今日まで當ることを得る人一箇もあらざりき
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand, for Jehovah your God, he it is who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
汝らの一人は千人を逐ことを得ん其は汝らの神ヱホバ汝らに宣まひしごとく自ら汝らのために戰ひたまへばなり
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.
然ば汝ら自ら善く愼しみて汝らの神ヱホバを愛せよ
12 Else if ye do at all go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you,
然らずして汝ら若後もどりしつつ是等の國人の漏のこりて汝らの中間に止まる者等と親しくなり之と婚姻をなして互に相往來しなば
13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight, but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God has given you.
汝ら確く知れ汝らの神ヱホバかさねて是等の國人を汝らの目の前より逐はらひたまはじ彼ら反て汝らの羂となり罟となり汝らの脇に鞭となり汝らの目に莿となりて汝ら遂に汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに賜ひしこの美地より亡び絶ん
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass to you; not one thing has failed of it.
視よ今日われは世人の皆ゆく途を行んとす汝ら一心一念に善く知るならん汝らの神ヱホバの汝らにつきて宣まひし諸の善事は一も缺る所なかりき皆なんぢらに臨みてその中一も缺たる者なきなり
15 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you of which Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God has given you.
汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに宣まひし諸の善事の汝らに臨みしごとくヱホバまた諸の惡き事を汝らに降して汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに與へしこの美地より終に汝らを滅ぼし絶たまはん
16 When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them, then the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.
汝ら若なんぢらの神ヱホバの汝らに命じたまひしその契約を犯し往て他神に事へてこれに身を鞠むるに於てはヱホバの震怒なんぢらに向ひて燃いでてなんぢらヱホバに與へられし善地より迅速に亡びうせん
