Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
イスラエルよ聽け汝は今日ヨルダンを濟りゆき汝よりも大にして強き國々に入てこれを取んとすその邑々は大にして石垣は天に達り
2 The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?”
その民は汝が知ところのアナクの子孫にして大くかつ身長たかし汝また人の言るを聞り云く誰かアナクの子孫の前に立ことを得んと
3 But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
汝今日知る汝の神ヱホバは燬つくす火にましまして汝の前に進みたまふとヱホバかならず彼らを滅ぼし彼らを汝の前に攻伏たまはんヱホバの汝に言たまひし如く汝かれらを逐はらひ速かに彼らを滅ぼすべし
4 When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.
汝の神ヱホバ汝の前より彼らを逐はらひたまはん後に汝心に言なかれ云く我の義がためにヱホバ我をこの地に導きいりてこれを獲させたまへりとそはこの國々の民の惡きがためにヱホバ之を汝の前より逐はらひたまふなり
5 It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
汝の往てその地を獲は汝の義きによるにあらず又なんぢの心の直によるに非ずこの國々の民惡きが故に汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の前より逐はらひたまふなりヱホバの斯したまふはまた汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓たりし言を行はんとてなり
6 Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.
汝知る汝の神ヱホバの汝に此美地を與へて獲させたまふは汝の義きによるに非ず汝は項の強き民なればなり
7 Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
汝曠野に於て汝の神ヱホバを怒せし事を憶えて忘るる勿れ汝らはエジプトの地を出し日より此處にいたる日まで常にヱホバに悖れり
8 At Horeb you provoked the LORD, and He was angry enough to destroy you.
ホレブにおいて汝らヱホバを怒せたればヱホバ汝らを怒りて汝らを滅ぼさんとしたまへり
9 When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water.
かの時われ石の板すなはちヱホバの汝らに立たまへる契約を載る石の板を受んとて山に上り四十日四十夜山に居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき
10 Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.
ヱホバ我に神の指をもて書しるしたる文字ある石の板二枚を授けたまへりその上には集會の日にヱホバが山において火の中より汝らに告たまひし言をことごとく載す
11 And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
すなはち四十日四十夜過し時ヱホバ我にその契約を載る板なる石の板二枚を授け
12 And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”
而してヱホバ我に言たまひけるは汝起あがりて速かに此より下れ汝がエジプトより導き出しし民は惡き事を行ふなり彼らは早くもわが彼らに命ぜし道を離れて自己のために偶像を鋳造れりと
13 The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
ヱホバまた我に言たまひけるは我この民を觀たり視よ是は項の強き民なり
14 Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”
我を阻むるなかれ我かれらを滅ぼしその名を天が下より抹さり汝をして彼らよりも強くまた大なる民とならしむべし
15 So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
是に於て我身をめぐらして山を下りけるが山は火にて燒をる又その契約の板二枚はわが兩の手にあり
16 And I saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
斯て我觀しに汝らはその神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯し自己のために犢を鋳造りて早くもヱホバの汝らに命じたまひし道を離れたりしかば
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
我その二枚の板をとりてわが兩の手よりこれを擲ち汝らの目の前にこれを碎けり
18 Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and provoking Him to anger.
而して我は前のごとく四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏て居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき是は汝らヱホバの目の前に惡き事をおこなひ之を怒せて大に罪を獲たればなり
19 For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.
ヱホバ忿怒を發し憤恨をおこし汝らを怒りて滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我懼れたりしが此度もまたヱホバ我に聽たまへり
20 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.
ヱホバまた痛くアロンを怒りてこれを滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我その時またアロンのために祈れり
21 And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
斯て我なんぢらが作りて罪を犯しし犢を取り火をもて之を燒きこれを搗きこれを善く打碎きて細き塵となしその塵を山より流れ下るところの渓流に投棄たり
22 You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
汝らはタベラ、マツサおよびキブロテハツタワにおいてもまたヱホバを怒らせたり
23 And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
またヱホバ、カデシバルネアより汝らを遣さんとせし時言たまひけるは汝ら上りゆきて我がなんぢらに與ふる地を獲て產業とせよと然るに汝らはその神ヱホバの命に悖り之を信ぜずまたその言を聽ざりき
24 You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
我が汝らを識し日より以來汝らは常にヱホバに悖りしなり
25 So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
かの時ヱホバ汝らを滅さんと言たまひしに因て我最初に伏たる如く四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏し
26 And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
ヱホバに祈りて言けるは主ヱホバよ汝その大なる權能をもて贖ひ強き手をもてエジプトより導き出しし汝の民汝の產業を滅したまふ勿れ
27 Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin.
汝の僕アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブを念たまへ此民の剛愎と惡と罪とを鑑みたまふ勿れ
28 Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
恐くは汝が我らを導き出したまひし國の人言んヱホバその約せし地にかれらを導きいること能はざるに因りまた彼らを惡むに因て彼らを導き出して曠野に殺せりと
29 But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”
抑かれらは汝の民汝の產業にして汝が強き能力をもて腕を伸て導き出したまひし者なり
