Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep with any defect or serious flaw, for that is detestable to the LORD your God.
凡て疵あり惡き處ある牛羊は汝これを汝の神ヱホバに献ぐべからず斯る者は汝の神ヱホバの忌嫌ひたまふ者なればなり
2 If a man or woman among you in one of the towns that the LORD your God gives you is found doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God by transgressing His covenant
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ邑々の中にて汝らの中間に若し或男または女汝の神ヱホバの目の前に惡事を行ひてその契約に悖り
3 and going to worship other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—
往て他の神々に事へてこれを拝み我が命ぜざる日や月や天の衆群などを拝むあらんに
4 and if it is reported and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If the report is true and such an abomination has happened in Israel,
その事を汝に告る者ありて汝これを聞き細かにこれを査べ見るにその事眞にその言確にしてイスラエルの中に斯る憎むべき事行はれ居たらば
5 you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.
汝その惡き事を行へる男または女を汝の門に曳いだし石をもてその男または女を撃殺すべし
6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone witness.
殺すべき者は二人の證人または三人の證人の口に依てこれを殺すべし惟一人の證人の口のみをもて之を殺すことは爲べからず
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be the first in putting him to death, and after that, the hands of all the people. So you must purge the evil from among you.
斯る者を殺すには證人まづその手を之に加へ然る後に民みなその手を加ふべし汝かく惡事を汝らの中より除くべし
8 If a case is too difficult for you to judge, whether the controversy within your gates is regarding bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults, you must go up to the place the LORD your God will choose.
汝の門の内に訟へ爭ふ事おこるに當りその事件もし血を相流す事または權理を相爭ふ事または互に相撃たる事などにして汝に裁判かぬる者ならば汝起あがりて汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處に上り往き
9 You are to go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who presides at that time. Inquire of them, and they will give you a verdict in the case.
祭司なるレビ人と當時の士師とに詣りて問べし彼ら裁判の言詞を汝に示さん
10 You must abide by the verdict they give you at the place the LORD will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you,
ヱホバの選びたまふ處にて彼らが汝に示す命令の言のごとくに汝行ひ凡て彼らが汝に敎ふるごとくに愼みて爲べし
11 according to the terms of law they give and the verdict they proclaim. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from the decision they declare to you.
即ち故らが汝に敎ふる律法の命令に循がひ彼らが汝に告る裁判に依て行ふべし彼らが汝に示す言に違ふて右にも左にも偏るべからず
12 But the man who acts presumptuously, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.
人もし自ら壇斷にしその汝の神ヱホバの前に立て事ふる祭司またはその士師に聽したがはざる有ばその人を殺しイスラエルの中より惡を除くべし
13 Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will no longer behave arrogantly.
然せば民みな聞て畏れ重て壇斷に事をなさざらん
14 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地に汝いたり之を獲て其處に住におよべる時汝もし我周圍の一切の國人のごとくに我も王をわが上に立んと言あらば
15 you are to appoint over yourselves the king whom the LORD your God shall choose. Appoint a king from among your brothers; you are not to set over yourselves a foreigner who is not one of your brothers.
只なんぢの神ヱホバの選びたまふ人を汝の上にたてて王となすべしまた汝の上に王を立るには汝の兄弟の中の人をもてすべし汝の兄弟ならざる他國の人を汝の上に立べからず
16 But the king must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire more horses, for the LORD has said, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’
但し王となれる者は馬を多く得んとすべからず又馬を多く得んために民を率てエジプトに還るべからず其はヱホバなんぢらに向ひて汝らはこの後かさねて此路に歸るべからずと宣ひたればなり
17 He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray. He must not accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.
また妻を多くその身に有て心を迷すべからずまた金銀を己のために多く蓄積べからず
18 When he is seated on his royal throne, he must write for himself a copy of this instruction on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
彼その國の位に坐するにいたらば祭司なるレビ人の前にある書よりしてこの律法を一の書に書寫さしめ
19 It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this instruction and these statutes.
世に生存ふる日の間つねにこれを己の許に置て誦み斯してその神ヱホバを畏るることを學びこの律法の一切の言と是等の法度を守りて行ふべし
20 Then his heart will not be exalted above his countrymen, and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.
然せば彼の心その兄弟の上に高ぶること無くまたその誡命を離れて右にも左にもまがること無してその子女とともにその國においてイスラエルの中にその日を永うすることを得ん
