< Joshua 10 >

1 Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
茲にエルサレムの王アドニゼデクはヨシユアがアイを攻取てこれを全く滅ぼし嚮にヱリコとその王とに爲しごとくにアイとその王とにも爲たる事およびギベオンの民がイスラエルと好を爲て之が中にをる事を聞て
2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
大に懼る是ギベオンは大なる邑にして都府に等しきに因りまたアイよりも大きくしてその内の人々凡て強きに因てなり
3 Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
エルサレムの王アドニゼデク是においてヘブロンの王ホハム、ヤルムテの王ピラム、ラキシの王ヤピアおよびエグロンの王デビルに人を遣はして云ふ
4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
我の處に上りきたりて我を助けよ我らギベオンを攻撃ん其はヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫と好を結びたればなりと
5 So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
而してこのアモリ人の王五人すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王あひ集まりそり諸軍勢を率て上りきたりギベオンに對ひて陣を取り之を攻て戰ふ
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
ギベオンの人々ギルガルの陣營に人を遣はしヨシユアに言しめけるは僕等を助くることを緩うする勿れ迅速に我らの所に上り來りて我らを救ひ助けよ山地に住をるアモリ人の王みな相集りて我らを攻るなりと
7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
ヨシユアすなはち一切の軍人および一切の大勇士を率ゐてギルガルより進みのぼれり
8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは彼らを懼るるなかれ我かれらを汝の手に付す彼らの中には汝に當ることを得る者一人もあらじと
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
この故にヨシユア、ギルガルより終夜進みのぼりて猝然にかれらに攻よせしに
10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
ヱホバかれらをイスラエルの前に敗りたまひければヨシユア、ギベオンにおいて彼らを夥多く撃殺しベテホロンの昇阪の路よりしてアゼカおよびマツケダまで彼らを追撃り
11 As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
彼らイスラエルの前より逃はしりてベテホロンの降阪にありける時ヱホバ天より大石を降しそのアゼカに到るまで然したまひければ多く死りイスラエルの子孫が劍をもて殺しし者よりも雹石にて死し者の方衆かりき
12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
ヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫の前にアモリ人を付したまひし日にヨシユア、ヱホバにむかひて申せしことあり即ちイスラエルの目の前にて言けらく日よギベオンの上に止まれ月よアヤロンの谷にやすらへ
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
民その敵を撃やぶるまで日は止まり月はやすらひぬ是はヤシヤルの書に記さるるにあらずや即ち日空の中にやすらひて急ぎ沒ざりしこと凡そ一日なりき
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
是より先にも後にもヱホバ是のごとく人の言を聽いれたまひし日は有ず是時にはヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまへり
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人とともにギルガルの陣營に歸りぬ
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
かの五人の王は逃ゆきてマツケダの洞穴に隱れたりしが
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
五人の王はマツケダの洞穴に隱れをるとヨシユアに告て言ふ者ありければ
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
ヨシユアいひけるは汝ら洞穴の口に大石を轉ばしその傍に人を置てこれを守らせよ
19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
但し汝らは止る勿れ汝らの敵の後を追てその殿軍を撃て彼らをその邑々に入しむる勿れ汝らの神ヱホバかれらを汝らの手に付したまへるぞかしと
20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫おびただしく彼らを撃殺して遂に殺し盡しその撃もらされて遺れる者等城々に逃いるにおよびて
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
民みな安然にマツケダの陣營にかへりてヨシユアの許にいたりけるがイスラエルの子孫にむかひて舌を鳴すもの一人もなかりき
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
時にヨシユア言ふ洞穴の口を開きて洞穴よりかの五人の王を我前に曳いだせと
23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
やがて然なしてかの五人の王すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王を洞穴より彼の前に曳いだせり
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
かの王等をヨシユアの前に曳いだしし時ヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人々を呼よせ己とともに往し軍人の長等に言けるは汝ら近よりて此王等の頸に足をかけよと乃はち近よりてその王等の頸に足をかけければ
25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
ヨシユアこれに言ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ慄く勿れ心を強くしかつ勇めよ汝らが攻て戰ふ諸の敵にはヱホバすべて斯のごとく爲たまふべしと
26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
かくて後ヨシユア彼らを撃て死しめ五個の木にかけて晩暮まで木の上にこれを曝しおきしが
27 At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
日の沒る時におよびてヨシユア命を下しければ之を木より取おろしその隱れたりし洞穴に投いれて洞穴の口に大石を置り是は今日が日までも存す
28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
ヨシユアかの日マツケダを取り刃をもて之とその王とを撃ち之とその中たる一切の人をことごとく滅して一人をも遺さずヱリコの王になしたるごとくにマツケダの王にも爲しぬ
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてマツケダよりリブナに進みてリブナを攻て戰ひけるに
30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
ヱホバまた之とその王をもイスラエルの手に付したまひしかば刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人を撃ほろぼし一人をもその中に遺さずヱリコの王に爲たるごとくにその王にも爲ぬ
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてリブナよりラキシに進み之にむかひて陣をとり之を攻めて戰ひけるに
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
ヱホバでラキシをイスラエルの手に付したまひけれぼ第二日にこれを取り刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人々を撃ちほろぼせり凡てリブナに爲たるがごとし
33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
時にゲゼルの王ホラム、ラキシを援けんとて上りきたりければヨシユアかれとその民とを撃ころして終に一人をも遺さざりき
34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
斯てヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてラキシよりエグロンに進み之に對ひて陣を取りこれを攻て戰ひ
35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
その日にこれを取り刃をもて之を撃その中なる一切の人をことごとくその日に滅ぼせり凡てラキシに爲たるが如し
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人をひきゐてエグロンよりヘブロンに進みのぼり之を攻て戰ひ
37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
やがてこれを取り之とその王およびその一切の邑々とその中なる一切の人を刃にかけて撃ころして一人をも遺さざりき凡てエグロンに爲たるが如し即ち之とその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼせり
38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐ歸りてデビルに至り之を攻て戰ひ
39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
之とその王およびその一切の邑を取り刃をもて之を撃てその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼし一人をも遺さざりき其デビルと其王に爲たる所はヘブロンに爲たるが如く又リブナとその王に爲たるがごとくなりき
40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
ヨシユアかく此全地すなはち山地南の地平地および山腹の地ならびに其すべての王等を撃ほろぼして人一箇をも遺さず凡て氣息する者は盡くこれを滅ぼせりイスラエルの神ヱホバの命じたまひしごとし
41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
ヨシユア、カデシバルネアよりガザまでの國々およびゴセンの全地を撃ほろぼしてギベオンにまで及ぼせり
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
イスラエルの神ヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまひしに因てヨシユアこれらの諸王およびその地を一時に取り
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてギルガルの陣營にかへりぬ
