< Joshua 6 >
1 (Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)
(イスラエルの人々の故によりてヱリコは堅く閉して出入する者なし)
2 And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言ひたまひけるは觀よわれヱリコおよびその王と大勇士とを汝の手に付さん
3 Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.
汝ら軍人みな邑を繞りて邑の周圍を一次まはるべし汝六日が間かく爲よ
4 And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.
祭司等七人おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへて櫃に先だつべし而して第七日には汝ら七次邑をめぐり祭司等喇叭を吹ならすべし
5 And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.
然して祭司等ヨベルの角を音ながくふきならして喇叭の聲なんぢらに聞ゆる時は民みな大に呼はり喊ぶべし然せばその邑の石垣崩れおちん民みな直に進て攻のぼるべしと
6 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.
ヌンの子ヨシユアやがて祭司等を召て之に言ふ汝ら契約の櫃を舁き祭司等七人ヨベルの喇叭七をたづさへてヱホバの櫃に先だつべしと
7 And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.
而して民に言ふ汝ら進みゆきて邑を繞れ甲冑のものどもヱホバの櫃に先だちて進むべしと
8 So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.
ヨシユアかく民に語りしかば七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバに先だちすきみて喇叭を吹きヱホバの契約の櫃これにしたがふ
9 And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.
即ち甲冑のものどもは喇叭を吹くところの祭司等にさきだちて行き後軍は櫃の後に行く祭司たちは喇叭を吹きつつすすめり
10 And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.
ヨシユア民に命じて言ふ汝ら呼はる勿れ汝らの聲を聞えしむるなかれまた汝らの口より言を出すなかれわが汝らに呼はれと命ずる日におよびて呼はるべしと
11 So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.
而してヱホバの櫃をもち邑を繞りて一周し陣營に來りて營中に宿れり
12 And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
又あくる朝ヨシユアはやく興いで祭司等ヱホバの櫃を舁き
13 And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.
七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバの櫃に先だちて行き喇叭を吹きつつすすみ甲冑の者等これに先だちて行き後軍はヱホバの櫃の後に行く祭司等喇叭をふきつつ進めり
14 The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days.
その次の日にも一次邑を繞りて陣營に歸り六日が間然なせり
15 Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.
第七日には夜明に早く興いで前のごとくして七次邑を繞れり唯この日のみ七次邑を繞りたり
16 And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.
七次目にいたりて祭司等喇叭を吹くときにヨシユア民に言ふ汝ら呼はれヱホバこの邑を汝らに賜へり
17 And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.
この邑およびその中の一切の物をば詛はれしものとしてヱホバに献ぐべし唯妓婦ラハブおよび凡て彼とともに家に在るものは生し存べしわれらが遣しし使者を匿したればなり
18 And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.
唯汝ら詛はれし物を愼め恐らくは汝ら其を詛はれしものとして献ぐるに方りその詛はれし物を自ら取りてイスラエルの陣營をも詛はるるものとならしめ之をして惱ましむるに至らん
19 But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.
但し銀金銅器鐵器などは凡てヱホバに聖別て奉まつるべきものなればヱホバの府庫にこれを携へいるべしと
20 So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.
是において民よばはり祭司喇叭を吹ならしけるが民喇叭の聲をきくと斉しくみな大聲を擧て呼はりしかば石垣崩れおちぬ斯りしかば民おのおの直に邑に上りいりて邑を攻取り
21 And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.
邑にある者は男女少きもの老たるものの區別なく盡くこれを刃にかけて滅ぼし且つ牛羊驢馬にまで及ぼせり
22 Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.
時にヨシユアこの地を窺ひたりし二箇の人にむかひ汝らかの妓婦の家に入りかの婦人およびかれに屬る一切のものを携へいだしかれに誓ひし如くせよと言ければ
23 So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel.
間者たりし少き人等すなはち入てラハブおよびその父母兄弟ならびに彼につけるすべてのものを携へ出しまたその親戚をも携へ出しイスラエルの陣營の外にかれらを置り
24 Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.
斯て火をもて邑とその中の一切のものを焚ぬ但し銀金銅器鐵器などはヱホバの室の府庫に納めたり
25 But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.
妓婦ラハブおよびその父の家の一族と彼に屬る一切の者とはヨシユアこれを生し存ければラハブは今日までイスラエルの中に住をる是はヨシユアがヱリコを窺はせんとて遣はしし使者を匿したるに因てなり
26 Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.
ヨシユアその時人衆に誓ひて命じ言けるは凡そ起てこのヱリコの邑を建る者はヱホバの前に詛はるべし其石礎をすゑなば長子を失ひその門を建なば季子を失はんと
27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアとともに在してヨシユアの名あまねく此地に聞ゆ
