< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.
然ば汝の神ヱホバを愛し常にその職守と法度と律法と誡命とを守るべし
2 And know ye this day...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,
汝らの子女は知ずまた見ざれば我これに言ず惟汝らに言ふ汝らは今日すでに汝らの神ヱホバの懲戒とその大なる事とその強き手とその伸たる腕とを知り
3 and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
またそのエジプトの中においてエジプト王パロとその全國にむかひておこなひたまひし徴證と行爲とを知り
4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;
またヱホバがエジプトの軍勢とその馬とその車とに爲たまひし事すなはち彼らが汝らの後を追きたれる時に紅海の水を彼らの上に覆ひかからしめ之を滅ぼして今日までその跡方なからしめし事を知り
5 — and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
また此處にいたるまで曠野に於て汝らに爲たまひし事等を知り
6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, — how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel.
またそのルベンの子孫なるエリアブの子等ダタンとアビラムに爲たまひし事すなはちイスラエルの全家の眞中において地その口を啓きて彼らとその家族とその天幕とその足下に立つ者とを呑つくしし事を知なり
7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.
即ち汝らはヱホバの行ひたまひし此諸の大なる作爲を目に覩たり
8 Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;
然ば汝ら我今日汝らに命ずる誡命を盡く守るべし然せば汝らは強くなり汝らが濟りゆきて獲んとする地にいりて之を獲ことを得
9 and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
またヱホバが汝らと汝らの後の子孫にあたへんと汝らの先祖等に誓たまひし地乳と蜜との流るる國において汝らの日を長うすることを得ん
10 For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
汝らが進みいりて獲んとする地は汝らが出來りしエジプトの地のごとくならず彼處にては汝ら種を播き足をもて之に灌漑げりその状蔬菜園におけるが如し
11 but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,
然ど汝らが濟りゆきて獲ところの地は山と谷の多き地にして天よりの雨水を吸ふなり
12 a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
その地は汝の神ヱホバの顧みたまふ者にして年の始より年の終まで汝の神ヱホバの目常にその上に在り
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
汝らもし我今日なんぢらに命ずる吾命令を善守りて汝らの神ヱホバを愛し心を盡し精神を盡して之に事へなば
14 that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;
我なんぢらの地の雨を秋の雨春の雨ともに時に隨ひて降し汝らをしてその穀物を收入しめ且酒と油を獲せしめ
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.
また汝の家畜のために野に草を生ぜしむべし汝は食ひて飽ん
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
汝ら自ら愼むべし心迷ひ翻へりて他の神々に事へこれを拝む勿れ
17 and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.
恐くはヱホバ汝らにむかひて怒を發して天を閉たまひ雨ふらず地物を生ぜずなりて汝らそのヱホバに賜れる美地より速かに滅亡るに至らん
18 And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
汝ら是等の我言を汝らの心と魂との中に蔵めまた之を汝らの手に結びて徴となし汝らの目の間におきて誌となし
19 And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;
之をなんぢらの子等に敎へ家に坐する時も路を歩む時も寝る時も興る時もこれを語り
20 and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;
また汝の家の柱となんぢの門に之を書記べし
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.
然せばヱホバが汝らの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし地に汝らのをる日および汝らの子等のをる日は數多くして天の地を覆ふ日の久きが如くならん
22 For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
汝らもし我が汝らに命ずる此一切の誡命を善く守りてこれを行ひ汝等の神ヱホバを愛しその一切の道に歩み之に附從がはば
23 then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
ヱホバこの國々の民をことごとく汝らの前より逐はらひたまはん而して汝らは己よりも大にして能力ある國々を獲にいたるべし
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.
凡そ汝らが足の蹠にて踏む處は皆汝らの有とならん即ち汝らの境界は曠野よりレバノンに亘りまたユフラテ河といふ河より西の海に亘るべし
25 No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
汝らの前に立ことを得る人あらじ汝らの神ヱホバ汝らが踏いるところの地の人々をして汝らを怖ぢ汝らを畏れしめたまふこと其嘗て汝らに言たまひし如くならん
26 See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
視よ我今日汝らの前に祝福と呪詛とを置く
27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;
汝らもし我が今日なんぢらに命ずる汝らの神ヱホバの誡命に遵はば祝福を得ん
28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
汝らもし汝らの神ヱホバの誡命に遵はず翻へりて我が今日なんぢらに命ずる道を離れ素知ざりし他の神々に從がひなば呪詛を蒙らん
29 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲んとする地に汝を導きいりたまふ時は汝ゲリジム山に祝福を置きエバル山に呪詛をおくべし
30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
この二山はヨルダンの彼旁アラバに住るカナン人の地において日の出る方の道の後にありギルガルに對ひてモレの橡樹と相去こと遠らざるにあらずや
31 For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.
汝らはヨルダンを濟り汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに賜ふ地に進みいりて之を獲んとす必ずこれを獲て其處に住ことを得ん
32 And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
然ば我が今日なんぢらに授くるところの法度と律法を汝らことごとく守りて行ふべし
