Joshua 7
1 But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in what was set apart. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from what was set apart, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the sons of Israel.
時にイスラエルの人々その詛はれし物につきて罪を犯せり即ちユダの支派の中なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子アカン詛はれし物を取り是をもてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々にむかひて震怒を發ちたまへり
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
ヨシユア、ヱリコより人を遣はしベテルの東に當りてベテアベンの邊にあるアイに到らしめんとし之に語りて言ふ汝ら上りゆきてかの地を窺へとその人々上りゆきてアイを窺ひけるが
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for they are but few.
ヨシユアの許に歸て之に言ふ民を盡くは上り往しめざれ唯二三千人を上らせてアイを撃しめよかれらは寡ければ一切の民を彼處に遣て勞せしむるなかれと
4 So there went up there of the people about three thousand men. And they fled before the men of Ai.
是において民およそ三千人ばかり彼處に上りゆきけるが遂にアイの人の前より遁はしれり
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
アイの人彼らを門の前より追てシバリムにいたり下坂にてその三十六人ばかりを撃り民は魂神消て水のごとくになりぬ
6 And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their heads.
斯りしかばヨシユア衣を裂きイスラエルの長老等とともにヱホバの櫃の前にて暮まで地に俯伏をり首に塵を蒙れり
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O lord Jehovah, why have thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? Would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
ヨシユア言けらく嗟主ヱホバよ何とて此民を導きてヨルダンを濟らせ我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅亡させんとしたまふや我等ヨルダンの彼旁に安んじ居しならば善りしものを
8 Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
嗟主よイスラエルすでに敵に背を見せたれば我また何をか言ん
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?
カナン人およびこの地の一切の民これを聞きわれらを攻かこみてわれらの名をこの世より絶ん然らば汝の大なる御名を如何にせんや
10 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get thee up. Why are thou thus fallen upon thy face?
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは立よなんぢ何とて斯は俯伏すや
11 Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken from what was set apart, and have also stolen, and also dissembled. And they have even put it among their own stuff.
イスラエルすでに罪を犯しわが彼らに命じおける契約を破れり即ち彼らは詛はれし物を取り窃みかつ詐りてこれを己の所有物の中にいれたり
12 Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.
是をもてイスラエルの人々は敵に當ること能はず敵に背を見す是は彼らも詛はるる者となりたればなり汝ら其詛はれし物を汝らの中より絶にあらざれば我ふたたび汝らと偕にをらじ
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is what has been set apart in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou cannot stand before thine enemies until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.
たてよ民を潔めて言へ汝ら身を潔めて明日を待てイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルよ汝の中に詛はれしものあり汝その詛はれし物を汝らの中より除き去るまでは汝の敵に當ること能はず
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes, and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come near by families, and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households, and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.
然ば翌朝汝らその支派にしたがひて進みいづべし而してヱホバの掣たまふ支派はその宗族にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ宗族はその家にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ家は男ひとりびとりに從がひて進みいづべし
15 And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
凡そ掣れて詛はれし物を有りと定まる者は其一切の所有物とともに火に焚るべし是はヱホバの契約を破りイスラエルの中に愚なる事を行ひたるが故なりと
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
ヨシユア是において朝はやく興いでてイスラエルをその支派にしたがひて進出しめけるにユダの支派掣れたれば
17 And he brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
ユダのもろもろの宗族を進み出でしめけるにゼラの宗族掣れゼラの宗族の人々を進み出しめけるにザブデ掣れ
18 And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
ザブデの家の人々を進み出しめけるにアカン掣れぬ彼はユダの支派なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子なり
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.
ヨシユア、アカンに言けるは我子よ請ふイスラエルの神ヱホバに稱讃を歸し之にむかひて懺悔し汝の爲たる事を我に告よ其事を我に隱すなかれ
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
アカン、ヨシユアに答へて言けるは實にわれはイスラエルの神ヱホバに對ひて罪ををかし如此々々行へり
21 When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
即ちわれ掠取物の中にバビロンの美しき衣服一枚に銀二百シケルと重量五十シケルの金の棒あるを見欲く思ひて其を取れりそれはわが天幕の中に地に埋め匿してあり銀も下にありと
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
爰にヨシユア使者を遣はしければ即ち彼の天幕に奔りゆきて視しに其は彼の天幕の中に匿しありて銀も下にありき
23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before Jehovah.
彼ら其を天幕の中より取出してヨシユアとイスラエルの一切の人々の所に携へきたりければ則ちそれをヱホバの前に置り
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
ヨシユアやがてイスラエルの一切の人とともにゼラの子アカンを執へかの銀と衣服と金の棒およびその男子女子牛驢馬羊天幕など凡て彼の有る物をことごとく取てアコルの谷にこれを曳ゆけり
25 And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
而してヨシユア言けらく汝なんぞ我らを惱まししやヱホバ今日汝を惱ましたまふべしと頓てイスラエル人みな石をもて彼を撃ころし又その家族等をも石にて撃ころし火をもて之を焚けり
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
而してアカンの上に大なる石堆を積揚たりしが今日まで存るかくてヱホバその烈しき忿怒を息たまへり是によりてその處の名を今日までアコル(惱)の谷と呼ぶ
