Deuteronomy 9
1 Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;
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 A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before 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 Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.
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 And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.
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 Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, 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 Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; 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 Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of 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 Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to 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 had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking 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 And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.
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 Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.
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 now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal 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 And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:
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 Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
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 turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were 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 that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.
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 And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken 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 And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.
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 full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.
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 And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time.
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 your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing 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 Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you made the Lord angry.
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 from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.
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 From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.
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 went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to 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 made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your 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 Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and 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 Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.
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 still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out 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
