< Joshua 6 >
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
(イスラエルの人々の故によりてヱリコは堅く閉して出入する者なし)
2 The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言ひたまひけるは觀よわれヱリコおよびその王と大勇士とを汝の手に付さん
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
汝ら軍人みな邑を繞りて邑の周圍を一次まはるべし汝六日が間かく爲よ
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
祭司等七人おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへて櫃に先だつべし而して第七日には汝ら七次邑をめぐり祭司等喇叭を吹ならすべし
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
然して祭司等ヨベルの角を音ながくふきならして喇叭の聲なんぢらに聞ゆる時は民みな大に呼はり喊ぶべし然せばその邑の石垣崩れおちん民みな直に進て攻のぼるべしと
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
ヌンの子ヨシユアやがて祭司等を召て之に言ふ汝ら契約の櫃を舁き祭司等七人ヨベルの喇叭七をたづさへてヱホバの櫃に先だつべしと
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
而して民に言ふ汝ら進みゆきて邑を繞れ甲冑のものどもヱホバの櫃に先だちて進むべしと
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
ヨシユアかく民に語りしかば七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバに先だちすきみて喇叭を吹きヱホバの契約の櫃これにしたがふ
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
即ち甲冑のものどもは喇叭を吹くところの祭司等にさきだちて行き後軍は櫃の後に行く祭司たちは喇叭を吹きつつすすめり
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
ヨシユア民に命じて言ふ汝ら呼はる勿れ汝らの聲を聞えしむるなかれまた汝らの口より言を出すなかれわが汝らに呼はれと命ずる日におよびて呼はるべしと
11 So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
而してヱホバの櫃をもち邑を繞りて一周し陣營に來りて營中に宿れり
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
又あくる朝ヨシユアはやく興いで祭司等ヱホバの櫃を舁き
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバの櫃に先だちて行き喇叭を吹きつつすすみ甲冑の者等これに先だちて行き後軍はヱホバの櫃の後に行く祭司等喇叭をふきつつ進めり
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
その次の日にも一次邑を繞りて陣營に歸り六日が間然なせり
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
第七日には夜明に早く興いで前のごとくして七次邑を繞れり唯この日のみ七次邑を繞りたり
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
七次目にいたりて祭司等喇叭を吹くときにヨシユア民に言ふ汝ら呼はれヱホバこの邑を汝らに賜へり
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
この邑およびその中の一切の物をば詛はれしものとしてヱホバに献ぐべし唯妓婦ラハブおよび凡て彼とともに家に在るものは生し存べしわれらが遣しし使者を匿したればなり
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
唯汝ら詛はれし物を愼め恐らくは汝ら其を詛はれしものとして献ぐるに方りその詛はれし物を自ら取りてイスラエルの陣營をも詛はるるものとならしめ之をして惱ましむるに至らん
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
但し銀金銅器鐵器などは凡てヱホバに聖別て奉まつるべきものなればヱホバの府庫にこれを携へいるべしと
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
是において民よばはり祭司喇叭を吹ならしけるが民喇叭の聲をきくと斉しくみな大聲を擧て呼はりしかば石垣崩れおちぬ斯りしかば民おのおの直に邑に上りいりて邑を攻取り
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
邑にある者は男女少きもの老たるものの區別なく盡くこれを刃にかけて滅ぼし且つ牛羊驢馬にまで及ぼせり
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
時にヨシユアこの地を窺ひたりし二箇の人にむかひ汝らかの妓婦の家に入りかの婦人およびかれに屬る一切のものを携へいだしかれに誓ひし如くせよと言ければ
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
間者たりし少き人等すなはち入てラハブおよびその父母兄弟ならびに彼につけるすべてのものを携へ出しまたその親戚をも携へ出しイスラエルの陣營の外にかれらを置り
24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
斯て火をもて邑とその中の一切のものを焚ぬ但し銀金銅器鐵器などはヱホバの室の府庫に納めたり
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
妓婦ラハブおよびその父の家の一族と彼に屬る一切の者とはヨシユアこれを生し存ければラハブは今日までイスラエルの中に住をる是はヨシユアがヱリコを窺はせんとて遣はしし使者を匿したるに因てなり
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
ヨシユアその時人衆に誓ひて命じ言けるは凡そ起てこのヱリコの邑を建る者はヱホバの前に詛はるべし其石礎をすゑなば長子を失ひその門を建なば季子を失はんと
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアとともに在してヨシユアの名あまねく此地に聞ゆ
