Numbers 14
1 Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
是において會衆みな聲をあげて叫び民その夜哭あかせり
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
すなはちイスラエルの子孫みなモーセとアロンに對ひて呟き全會衆かれらに言けるは嗚呼我等はエジプトの國に死たらば善りしものを又はこの曠野に死ば善らんものを
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
何とてヱホバ我等をこの地に導きいりて劍に斃れしめんとし我らの妻子をして掠められしめんとするやエジプトに歸ること反て好らずやと
4 So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
互に相語り我等一人の長を立てエジプトに歸らんと云り
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
是をもてモーセとアロンはイスラエルの子孫の全會衆の前において俯伏たり
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
時にかの地を窺ひたりし者の中なるヌンの子ヨシユアとヱフンネの子カルブその衣服を裂き
7 and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
イスラエルの子孫の全會衆に語りて言ふ我等が行巡りて窺ひたりし地は甚だ善き地なり
8 If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
ヱホバもし我等を悦びたまはば我らをその地に導きいりて之を我等に賜はん是は乳と蜜との流るる地なるぞかし
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
唯ヱホバに逆ふ勿れまたその地の民を懼るるなかれ彼等は我等の食物とならん彼等の影となる者は旣に去りかつヱホバわれらと共にいますなり彼等を懼るる勿れ
10 But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
然るに會衆みな石をもて之を撃んとせり時にヱホバの榮光集會の幕屋の中よりイスラエルの全體の子孫に顯れたり
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
ヱホバすなはちモーセに言たまはく此民は何時まで我を藐視るや我諸の休徴をかれらの中間に行ひたるに彼等何時まで我を賴むことを爲ざるや
12 I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
我疫病をもてかれらを撃ち滅し汝をして彼等よりも大なる強き民とならしめん
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
モーセ、ヱホバに言けるは汝がその權能をもてこの民をエジプトより導き出したまひし事はエジプト人唯これを聞し而已ならず
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
また之をこの地に住る民に告たりまた彼等は汝ヱホバがこの民の中に在し汝ヱホバが明かにこれに顯れたまふことを聞きまたその上に汝の雲をりて汝が晝は雲の柱の中にあり夜は火の柱の中にありて之が前に行たまふを聞り
15 If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
然ば汝もしこの民を一人のごとくに殺したまはば汝の名聲を聞る國人等言ん
16 ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
ヱホバこの民を導きてその之に誓ひたりし地に至ること能はざるが故に之を曠野に殺せりと
17 So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
吾主ねがはくは今汝の權能を大ならしめて汝の言たまへる如したまへ
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
汝曾言たまひけらくヱホバは怒ること遅く恩惠深く惡と過とを赦す者また罰すべき者をば必ず赦すことをせず父の罪を子に報いて三四代に及ぼす者と
19 Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
願くは汝の大なる恩惠をもち汝がエジプトより今にいたるまでこの民を赦しし如くにこの民の惡を赦したまへ
20 “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
ヱホバ言たまはく我汝の言にしたがひて之を赦す
21 “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
然ながら我の活るごとくまたヱホバの榮光の全世界に充わたらん如く
22 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
かのわが榮光および我がエジプトと曠野において行ひし休徴を見ながら斯十度も我を試みて我聲に聽したがはざる人々は
23 not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
皆かならず我がその先祖等に誓ひし地を見ざるべしまた我を藐視る人々も之を見ざるべし
24 But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
但しわが僕カルブはその心異にして我に全く從ひたれば彼の往たりし地に我かれを導きいらんその子孫これを有つに至るべし
25 Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
アマレキ人とカナン人谷にをれば明日汝等身を轉して紅海の路より曠野に退くべし
26 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまはく
27 “How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
我この我にむかひて呟くところの惡き會衆を何時まで赦しおかんや我イスラエルの子孫が我にむかひて呟くところの怨言を聞り
28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
彼等に言へヱホバ曰ふ我は活く汝等が我耳に言しごとく我汝等になすべし
29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
汝らの屍はこの曠野に横はらん即ち汝ら核數られたる二十歳以上の者の中我に對ひて呟ける者は皆ことごとく此に斃るべし
30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
ヱフンネの子カルブとヌンの子ヨシュアを除くの外汝等は我が汝らを住しめんと手をあげて誓ひたりし地に至ることを得ず
31 But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
汝等が掠められんと言たりし汝等の子女等を我導きて入ん彼等は汝らが顧みざるところの地を知に至るべし
32 As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
汝らの屍はかならずこの曠野に横はらん
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
汝らの子女等は汝らが屍となりて曠野に朽るまで四十年の間曠野に流蕩て汝らの悸逆の罪にあたらん
34 In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
汝らはかの地を窺ふに日數四十日を經たれば其一日を一年として汝等四十年の間その罪を任ひ我が汝らを離たるを知べし
35 I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
我ヱホバこれを言り必ずこれをかの集りて我に敵する惡き會衆に盡く行なふべし彼らはこの曠野に朽ち此に死うせん
36 So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
モーセに遣されてかの地を窺ひに往き還り來りてその地を謗り全會衆をしてモーセに對ひて呟かしめたる人々
37 those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
即ちその地を惡く言なしたるかの人々は罰をうけてヱホバの前に死り
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
但しその地を窺ひに往きたる人々の中ヌンの子ヨシユアとヱフンネの子カルブとは生のこれり
39 And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
モーセこれらの事をイスラエルの子孫に告ければ民痛く哀み
40 Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
朝蚤く起いでて山の嶺に登りて言ふ視よ我儕此にあり率ヱホバの約束したまひし地に上りゆかん我等罪を犯したればなり
41 But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
モーセ言けるは汝等なんぞ斯ヱホバの命に背くやこの事成就せざるべし
42 Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
汝ら上り行く勿れヱホバ汝らの中にいまさざれば恐くは汝らその敵の前に撃破られん
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
アマレキ人とカナン人其處に汝らの前にあれば汝等は劍に斃るるならん汝らヱホバに遵はざりし故にヱホバ汝等と偕に在さざるべしと
44 But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
然るに彼等自擅に山の嶺に登れり但しヱホバの契約の櫃およびモーセは營を出ざりき
45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
斯りしかばその山に住るアマレキ人とカナン人下り來てこれを打敗りホルマまで追いたれり
