Judges 2
1 And the agent of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers. And I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
ヱホバの使者ギルガルよりボキムに上りていひけるは我汝等をエジプトより上らしめわが汝らの先祖に誓ひたる地に携へ來れりまた我いひけらくわれ汝らと締べる契約を絶てやぶることあらじ
2 And ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. Ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened to my voice. Why have ye done this?
汝らはこの國の民と契約を締ぶべからずかれらの祭壇を毀つべしとしかるに汝らはわが聲に從はざりき汝ら如何なれば斯ることをなせしや
3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
我またいひけらくわれ汝らの前より彼らを追ふべからずかれら反て汝等の肋を刺す荊棘とならんまた彼らの神々は汝等の罟となるべし
4 And it came to pass, when the agent of Jehovah spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
ヱホバの使これらの言をイスラエルのすべての子孫に語しかば民聲をあげて哭ぬ
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Jehovah.
故に其所の名をボキム（哭者）と呼ぶかれら彼所にてヱホバに祭物を獻げたり
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the sons of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
ヨシユア民を去しめたればイスラエルの子孫おのおのその領地におもむきて地を獲たり
7 And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.
ヨシユアの世にありし間またヨシユアより後に生きのこりたる長老等の世にありしあひだ民はヱホバに事へたりこの長老等はヱホバのかつてイスラエルのために成したまひし諸の大なる行爲を見しものなり
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
ヱホバの僕ヌンの子ヨシユア百十歳にて死り
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
衆人エフライムの山のテムナテヘレスにあるかれらの產業の地においてガアシ山の北にこれを葬れり
10 And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them that did not know Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
かくてまたその時代のものことごとくその先祖のもとにあつめられその後に至りて他の時代おこりしが是はヱホバを識ずまたそのイスラエルのために爲したまひし行爲をも識ざりき
11 And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim.
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバのまへに惡きことを作してバアリムにつかへ
12 And they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down to them. And they provoked Jehovah to anger.
かつてエジプトの地よりかれらを出したまひしその先祖の神ヱホバを棄てて他の神すなはちその四周なる國民の神にしたがひ之に跪づきてヱホバの怒を惹起せり
13 And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
即ちかれらヱホバをすててバアルとアシタロテに事へたれば
14 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them. And he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
ヱホバはげしくイスラエルを怒りたまひ掠むるものの手にわたして之を掠めしめかつ四周なるもろもろの敵の手にこれを賣たまひしかばかれらふたたびその敵の前に立つことを得ざりき
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn to them. And they were exceedingly distressed.
かれらいづこに往くもヱホバの手これに災をなしぬ是はヱホバのいひたまひしごとくヱホバのこれに誓ひたまひしごとしここにおいてかれら惱むこと甚だしかりしが
16 And Jehovah raised up judges who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them.
ヱホバ士師を立てたまひたればかれらこれを掠むるものの手よりすくひ出したり
17 And yet they did not hearken to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah. They did not do so.
然るにかれらその士師にもしたがはず反りて他の神を慕て之と淫をおこなひ之に跪き先祖がヱホバの命令に從がひて歩みたることろの道を頓に離れ去りてその如くには行はざりき
18 And when Jehovah raised up judges for them, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For Jehovah regretted because of their groaning because of those who oppressed them and vexed them.
かれらのためにヱホバ士師を立てたまひし時に方りてはヱホバつねにその士師とともに在しその士師の世に在る間はヱホバかれらを敵の手よりすくひ出したまへり此はかれらおのれを虐げくるしむるものありしを呻きかなしめるによりてヱホバ之を哀れみたまひたればなり
19 But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them. They did not cease from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
されどその士師の死しのちまた戻きて先祖よりも甚だしく邪曲を行ひ他の神にしたがひてこれに事へ之に跪きておのれの行爲を息めずその頑固なる路を離れざりき
20 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
是をもてヱホバはげしくイスラエルをいかりていひたまはく此民はわがかつてその列祖に命じたる契約を犯し吾聲に從がはざるがゆゑに
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died,
我もまたいまよりはヨシユアがその死しときに存しおけるいづれの國民をもかれらのまへより逐ひはらはざるべし
22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
此は我イスラエルがその先祖の守りしごとくヱホバの道を守りてこれに歩むやいなやを試みんがためなりと
23 So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out quickly. Neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
ヱホバはこれらの國民を逐はらふことを速にせずして之を遺しおきてヨシユアの手に付したまはざりしなり
