Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:
天よ耳を傾むけよ我語らん地よ吾口の言を聽け
2 My teaching is dropping like rain, coming down like dew on the fields; like rain on the young grass and showers on the garden plants:
わが敎は雨の降るがごとし吾言は露のおくがごとく靀の若艸の上にふるごとく細雨の靑艸の上にくだるが如し
3 For I will give honour to the name of the Lord: let our God be named great.
我はヱホバの御名を頌揚ん我らの神に汝ら榮光を歸せよ
4 He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.
ヱホバは磐にましましてその御行爲は完くその道はみな正しまた眞實ある神にましまして惡きところ無し只正くして直くいます
5 They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.
彼らはヱホバにむかひて惡き事をおこなふ者にてその子にはあらず只これが玷となるのみ其人と爲は邪僻にして曲れり
6 Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.
愚にして智慧なき民よ汝らがヱホバに報ゆること是のごとくなるかヱホバは汝の父にして汝を贖ひまた汝を造り汝を建たまはずや
7 Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.
昔の日を憶え過にし世代の年を念へよ汝の父に問べし彼汝に示さん汝の中の年老に問べし彼ら汝に語らん
8 When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.
至高者人の子を四方に散して萬の民にその產業を分ちイスラエルの子孫の數に照して諸の民の境界を定めたまへり
9 For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.
ヱホバの分はその民にしてヤユブはその產業たり
10 He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.
ヱホバこれを荒野の地に見これに獣の吼る曠野に遇ひ環りかこみて之をいたはり眼の珠のごとくにこれを護りたまへり
11 As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:
鵰のその巣雛を喚起しその子の上に翺翔ごとくヱホバその羽を展て彼らを載せその翼をもてこれを負たまへり
12 So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.
ヱホバは只独にてかれを導きたまへり別神はこれとともならざりき
13 He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;
ヱホバかれに地の高處を乗とほらせ田園の產物を食はせ石の中より蜜を吸しめ磐の中より油を吸しめ
14 Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.
牛の乳 羊の乳 羔羊の脂 バシヤンより出る牡羊 牡山羊および小麥の最も佳き者をこれに食はせたまひき汝はまた葡萄の汁の紅き酒を飮り
15 But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.
然るにヱシユルンは肥て踢ことを爲す汝は肥太りて大きくなり己を造りし神を棄て己が救拯の磐を軽んず
16 The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.
彼らは別神をもて之が嫉妬をおこし憎むべき者をもて之が震怒を惹く
17 They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.
彼らが犠牲をささぐる者は鬼にして神にあらず彼らが識ざりし鬼神近頃新に出たる者汝らの遠つ親の畏まざりし者なり
18 You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.
汝を生し磐をば汝これを棄て汝を造りし神をば汝これを忘る
19 And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.
ヱホバこれを見その男子女子を怒りてこれを棄たまふ
20 And he said, My face will be veiled from them, I will see what their end will be: for they are an uncontrolled generation, children in whom is no faith.
すなはち曰たまはく我わが面をかれらに隱さん我かれらの終を觀ん彼らはみな背き悖る類の者眞實あらざる子等なり
21 They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,
彼らは神ならぬ者をもて我に嫉妬を起させ虚き者をもて我を怒らせたれば我も民ならぬ者をもて彼らに嫉妬を起させ愚なる民をもて彼らを怒らせん
22 For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
即ちわが震怒によりて火燃いで深き陰府に燃いたりまた地とその產物とを燒つくし山々の基をもやさん (Sheol h7585)
23 I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them.
我禍災をかれらの上に積かさね吾矢をかれらにむかひて射つくさん
24 They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.
彼らは饑て痩おとろへ熱の病患と惡き疫とによりて滅びん我またかれらをして獣の歯にかからしめ地に匍ふ者の毒にあたらしめん
25 Outside they will be cut off by the sword, and in the inner rooms by fear; death will take the young man and the virgin, the baby at the breast and the grey-haired man.
外には劒内には恐惶ありて少き男をも少き女をも幼兒をも白髮の人をも滅ぼさん
26 I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:
我は曰ふ我彼等を吹掃ひ彼らの事をして世の中に記憶らるること無らしめんと
27 But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this.
然れども我は敵人の怒を恐る即ち敵人どれを見あやまりて言ん我らの手能くこれを爲り是はすべてヱホバの爲るにあらずと
28 For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.
彼らはまつたく智慧なき民なりその中には知識ある者なし
29 If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!
嗚呼彼らもし智慧あらば之を了りてその身の終を思慮らんものを
30 How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?
彼らの磐これを賣ずヱホバごれを付さずば爭か一人にて千人を逐ひ二人にて萬人を敗ることを得ん
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.
彼らの磐は我らの磐にしかず我らの敵たる者等も然認めたり
32 For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:
彼らの葡萄の樹はソドムの葡萄の樹またゴモラの野より出たる者その葡萄は毒葡萄その球は苦し
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes.
その葡萄酒は蛇の毒のごとく蝮の惡き毒のごとし
34 Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?
是は我の許に蓄へあり我の庫に封じこめ有にあらずや
35 Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.
彼らの足の躚かん時に我仇をかへし應報をなさんその災禍の日は近く其がために備へられたる事は迅速にいたる
36 For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.
ヱホバつひにその民を鞫きまたその僕に憐憫をくはへたまはん其は彼らの力のすでに去うせて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者もあらずなれるを見たまへばなり
37 And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?
ヱホバ言たまはん彼らの神々は何處にをるや彼らが賴める磐は何處ぞや
38 Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.
即ちその犠牲の膏油を食ひその灌祭の酒を飮たる者は何處にをるや其等をして起て汝らを助けしめ汝らを護しめよ
39 See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.
汝ら今觀よ我こそは彼なり我の外には神なし殺すこと活すこと撃こと愈すことは凡て我是を爲す我手より救ひ出すことを得る者あらず
40 For lifting up my hand to heaven I say, By my unending life,
我天にむかひて手をあげて言ふ我は永遠に活く
41 If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.
我わが閃爍く刃を磨ぎ審判をわが手に握る時はかならず仇をわが敵にかへし我を惡む者に返報をなさん
42 I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.
我わが箭をして血に酔しめ吾劍をして肉を食しめん即ち殺るる者と擄らるる者の血を之に飮せ敵の髮おほき首の肉をこれに食はせん
43 Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people.
國々の民よ汝らヱホバの民のために歓悦をなせ其はヱホバその僕の血のために返報をなしその敵に仇をかへしその地とその民の汚穢をのぞきたまへばなり
44 So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.
モーセ、ヌンの子ヨシユアとともに到りてこの歌の言をことごとく民に誦きかせたり
45 And after saying all this to the people,
モーセこの言語をことごとくイスラエルの一切の人に告をはりて
46 Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.
これに言けるは我が今日なんぢらに對ひて證するこの一切の言語を汝ら心に蔵め汝らの子等にこの律法の一切の言語を守りおこなふことを命ずべし
47 And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
抑この言は汝らには虚しき言にあらず是は汝らの生命なりこの言によりて汝らはそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲ところの地にて汝らの生命を永うすることを得るなり
48 That same day the Lord said to Moses,
この日にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
49 Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:
汝ヱリコに對するモアブの地のアバリム山に登りてネボ山にいたり我がイスラエルの子孫にあたへて產業となさしむるカナンの地を觀わたせよ
50 And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:
汝はその登れる山に死て汝の民に列ならん是汝の兄弟アロンがホル山に死てその民に列りしごとくなるべし
51 Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.
是は汝らチンの曠野なるカデシのメリバの水の邊においてイスラエルの子孫の中間にて我に悖りイスラエルの子孫の中に我の聖きことを顯さざりしが故なり
52 So you will see the land before you, but you will not go into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.
然ども汝は我がイスラエルの子孫に與ふる地を汝の前に觀わたすことを得ん但しその地には汝いることを得じ
