Numbers 21
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked Israel and captured some prisoners.
茲に南の方に住るカナン人アラデ王といふ者イスラエルが間者の道よりして來るといふを聞きイスラエルを攻うちてその中の數人を擄にせり
2 So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”
是においてイスラエル誓願をヱホバに立て言ふ汝もしこの民をわが手に付したまはば我その城邑を盡く滅さんと
3 And the LORD heard Israel’s plea and delivered up the Canaanites. Israel devoted them and their cities to destruction; so they named the place Hormah.
ヱホバすなはちイスラエルの言を聽いれてカナン人を付したまひければ之とその城邑をことごとく滅せり是をもてその處の名をホルマ(殲滅)と呼なしたり
4 Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey
民はホル山より進みゆき紅海の途よりしてエドムを繞り通らんとせしがその途のために民心を苦めたり
5 and spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
すなはち民神とモーセにむかいて呟きけるは汝等なんぞ我らをエジプトより導きのぼりて曠野に死しめんとするや此には食物も無くまた水も無し我等はこの粗き食物を心に厭ふなりと
6 So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
是をもてヱバホ火の蛇を民の中に遣して民を咬しめたまひければイスラエルの民の中死る者多かりき
7 Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.
是によりて民モーセにいたりて言けるは我らヱホバと汝にむかひて呟きて罪を獲たり請ふ汝ヱホバに祈りて蛇を我等より取はなさしめよとモーセすなはち民のために祈ければ
8 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝蛇を作りてこれを杆の上に載おくべし凡て咬れたる者は之を仰ぎ觀なば生べし
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.
モーセすなはち銅をもて一條の蛇をつくり之を杆の上に載おけり凡て蛇に咬れたる者その銅の蛇を仰ぎ觀ば生たり
10 Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
イスラエルの子孫途に進みてオボテに營を張り
11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
またオボテより進み往きモアブの東の方に亘るところの曠野においてイヱアバリムに營を張り
12 From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
また其處より進みゆきてゼレデの谷に營を張り
13 From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.
其處より進みゆきてアルノンの彼旁に營を張りアルノンはアモリの境より出て曠野に流るる者にてモアブとアモリの間にありてモアブの界をなすなり
14 Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
故にヱホバの戰爭の記に言るあり云くスパのワヘブ、アルノンの河
15 even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
河の流即ちアルの邑に落下りモアブの界に倚る者と
16 From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people so that I may give them water.”
かれら其處よりベエル(井)にいたれりヱホバがモーセにむかひて汝民を集めよ我これに水を與へんと言たまひしはこの井なりき
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
時にイスラエルこの歌を歌へり云く井の水よ湧あがれ汝等これがために歌へよ
18 The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,
此井は笏と杖とをもて牧伯等これを掘り民の君長等之を掘りと斯て曠野よりマツタナにいたり
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
マツタナよりナハリエルにいたりナハリエルよりバモテにいたり
20 and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
バモテよりモアブの野にある谷に往き曠野に對するピスガの嶺にいたれり
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
かくてイスラエル使者をアモリ人の王シホンに遣して言しめけるは
22 “Let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
我をして汝の國を通過しめよ我等は田畝にも葡萄園にも入じまた井の水をも飮じ我らは汝の境を出るまでは唯王の道を通りて行んのみと
23 But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
然るにシホンはイスラエルに自己の境の中を通る事を容さざりき而してシホンその民をことごとく集め曠野にいでてイスラエルを攻んとしヤハヅに來りてイスラエルと戰ひけるが
24 And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok—but only up to the border of the Ammonites, because it was fortified.
イスラエル刄をもて之を撃やぶりその地をアルノンよりヤボクまで奪ひ取りアンモンの子孫にまで至れりアンモンの子孫の境界は堅固なりき
25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
イスラエルかくその城邑を盡く取り而してイスラエルはアモリ人の諸の城邑に住みヘシボンとそれに附る諸の村々に居る
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon.
ヘシボンはアモリ人の王シホンの都城なりシホンは曾てモアブの前の王と戰ひてかれの地をアルノンまで盡くその手より奪ひ取しなり
27 That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
故に歌をもて云るあり曰く汝らヘシボンに來れシホンの城邑を築き建よ
28 For a fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of Arnon’s heights.
ヘシボンより火出でシホンの都城より熖いでてモアブのアルを焚つくしアルノンの邊の高處を占る君王等を滅ぼせり
29 Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.
モアブよ汝は禍なる哉ケモシの民よ汝は滅ぼさるその男子は逃奔りその女子はアモリ人の王シホンに擄らるるなり
30 But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
我等は彼らを撃たふしヘシボンを滅ぼしてデボンに及び之を荒してまたノパに及びメデバにいたる
31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
斯イスラエルの子孫はアモリ人の地に住たりしが
32 After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
モーセまた人を遣はしてヤゼルを窺はしめ遂にその村々を取て其處にをりしアモリ人を逐出し
33 Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
轉てバシヤンの路に上り往きけるにバシヤンの王オグその民を盡く率ゐて出で之を迎へてエデレイに戰はんとす
34 But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは彼を懼るる勿れ我かれとその民とその地を盡く汝の手に付す汝ヘシボンに住をりしアモリ人の王シホンに爲たるごとくに彼にも爲べしと
35 So they struck down Og, along with his sons and his whole army, until no remnant was left. And they took possession of his land.
是において彼とその子とその民をことごとく撃ころし一人も生存る者なきに至らしめて之が地を奪ひたり
