Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
茲にヨシユア、ルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半を召て
2 And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:
これに言けるは汝らはヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命ぜし所をことごとく守り又わが汝らに命ぜし一切の事において我言に聽したがへり
3 You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.
汝らは今日まで日ひさしく汝らの兄弟を離れずして汝らの神ヱホバの命令の言を守り來り
4 And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.
今は已に汝らの神ヱホバなんぢらの兄弟に向に宣まひし如く安息を賜ふに至れり然ば汝ら身を轉らしヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの彼方なる汝等の產業の地に歸りて自己の天幕にゆけ
5 Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.
只ヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命じおきし誡命と律法とを善く謹しみて行ひ汝らの神ヱホバを愛しその一切の途に歩みその命令を守りて之に附したがひ心を盡し精神を盡して之に事ふべしと
6 Then Joshua gave them his blessing and sent them away: and they went back to their tents.
かくてヨシユア彼らを祝して去しめければ彼らはその天幕に往り
7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,
マナセの支派の半にはモーセ、バシヤンにて產業を與へおけりその他の半にはヨシユア、ヨルダンの此旁西の方にてその兄弟等の中に產業を與ふヨシユア彼らをその天幕に歸し遣るに當りて之を祝し
8 And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.
之に告て言けるは汝ら衆多の貨財夥多しき家畜金銀銅鐵および夥多しき衣服をもちて汝らの天幕に歸り汝らの敵より獲たるその物を汝らの兄弟の中に分つべしと
9 So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.
爰にルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半はヱホバのモーセによりて命じ給ひし所に循ひて己の所有の地すなはち已に獲たるギレアデの地に往んとてカナンの地のシロよりしてイスラエルの子孫に別れて歸りけるが
10 Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地のヨルダンの岸邊にいたるにおよびて彼處にてヨルダンの傍に一の壇を築けりその壇は大にして遥に見えわたる
11 And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.
イスラエルの子孫はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地の前の部にてヨルダンの岸邊イスラエルの子孫に屬する方にて一の壇を築けりと言を聞り
12 Then all the meeting of the children of Israel, hearing this, came together at Shiloh to go up against them to war.
イスラエルの子孫これを聞と斉しくイスラエルの子孫の會衆ことごとくシロに集まりて彼らの所に攻のぼらんとす
13 And the children of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,
イスラエルの子孫すなはち祭司エレアザルの子ピハネスをギレアデの地に遣はしてルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半の所に至らしめ
14 And with him they sent ten chiefs, one for every tribe of the children of Israel, every one of them the head of his house among the families of Israel.
イスラエルの各々の支派の中より父祖の家の牧伯一人づつを擧て合せて十人の牧伯を之に伴なはしむ是みなイスラエルの家族の中にて父祖の家の長たる者なりき
15 And they came to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and said to them,
彼らギレアデの地に往きルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半にいたりて之に語りて言けらく
16 This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord?
ヱホバの全會衆かく言ふ汝らイスラエルの神にむかひて愆を犯し今日すでに翻へりてヱホバに從がはざらんとし即ち己のために一の壇を築きて今日ヱホバに叛かんとするは何事ぞや
17 Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,
ベオルの罪われらに足ざらんや之がためにヱホバの會衆に災禍くだりたりしかども我ら今日までも尚身を潔めてその罪を棄ざるなり
18 That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel.
然るに汝らは今日ひるがへりてヱホバに從がはざらんとするや汝ら今日ヱホバに叛けば明日はヱホバ、イスラエルの全會衆を怒りたまふべし
19 But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.
然ながら汝らの所有の地もし潔からずばヱホバの幕屋のたてるヱホバの產業の地に濟り來て我らの中にて所有を獲よ惟われらの神ヱホバの壇の外に壇を築きてヱホバに叛く勿れまた我らに悖るなかれ
20 Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.
ゼラの子アカン詛はれし物につきて愆を犯しつひにイスラエルの全會衆に震怒臨みしにあらずや且また其罪にて滅亡し者は彼人ひとりにはあらざりき
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh said in answer to the heads of the families of Israel,
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半答へてイスラエルの宗族の長等に言けるは
22 God, even God the Lord, God, even God the Lord, he sees, and Israel will see — if it is in pride or in sin against the Lord,
諸の神の神ヱホバ諸の神の神ヱホバ知しめすイスラエルも亦知んもし叛く事あるひはヱホバに罪を犯す事ならば汝今日我らを救ふなかれ
23 That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;
我らが壇を築きし事もし翻がへりてヱホバに從がはざらんが爲なるか又は其上に燔祭素祭を献げんが爲なるか又はその上に酬恩祭の犠牲を獻げんがためならばヱホバみづからその罪を問討したまへ
24 And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
我等は遠き慮をもて故に斯なしたるなり即ち思ひけらく後の日にいたりて汝らの子孫われらの子孫に語りて言ならん汝らはイスラエルの神ヱホバと何の關係あらんや
25 For the Lord has made Jordan a line of division between us and you, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord: so your children will make our children give up fearing the Lord.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫よヱホバ我らと汝らの間にヨルダンを界となしたまへり汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと斯いひてなんぢらの子孫われらの子孫としてヱホバを畏るることを息しめんと
26 So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:
是故に我ら言けらく我らいま一の壇を我らのために築かんと是燔祭のために非ずまた犠牲のために非ず
27 But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.
惟し之をして我らと汝らの間および我らの後の子孫の間に證とならしめて我ら燔祭犠牲および酬恩祭をもてヱホバの前にその職務をなさんがためなり然せば汝らの子孫後の日いたりて我らの子孫に汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと言こと無らん
28 For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.
是をもて我ら言り彼らが我らまたは後の日に我らの子孫に然いはばその時我ら言ん我らの父祖の築きたりしヱホバの壇の模形を見よ是は燔祭のためにも非ずまた犠牲のためにもあらず我らと汝らとの間の證なり
29 Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.
ヱホバに叛き翻へりて今日ヱホバに從がふことを息め我らの神ヱホバの幕屋の前にあるその祭壇の外に燔祭素祭犠牲などのために壇を築くことは我らの絶て爲ざる所なり
30 Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.
祭司ピネハスおよび會衆の長等即ち彼とともなるイスラエルの宗族の首等はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫が述たる言を聞て善とせり
31 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスすなはちルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫に言けるは我ら今日ヱホバの我らの中に在すを知る其は汝らヱホバにむかひて此愆を犯さざればなり今なんぢらはイスラエルの子孫をヱホバの手より救ひいだせりと
32 Then Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs went back from the land of Gilead, from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and came to the children of Israel in Canaan and gave them the news.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスおよび牧伯等すなはちルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫に別れてギレアデの地よりカナンの地に歸りイスラエルの子孫にいたりて復命しけるに
33 And the children of Israel were pleased about this; and they gave praise to God, and had no more thought of going to war against the children of Reuben and the children of Gad for the destruction of their land.
イスラエルの子孫これを善とせり而してイスラエルの子孫神を讃めルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫の住をる國を滅ぼしに攻上らんと重ねて言ざりき
34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫その壇をエド(證)と名けて云ふ是は我らの間にありてヱホバは神にいますとの證をなす者なりと
