Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath smitten him,
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふ地において若し人殺されて野に仆れをるあらんに之を殺せる者の誰なるかを知ざる時は
2 then thine elders and thy judges shall go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain;
汝の長老等と士師等出きたりその人の殺されをる處よりその四周の邑々までを度るべし
3 and the city that is nearest unto him that is slain, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer that hath not been wrought with, that hath not drawn in the yoke;
而してその人の殺されをる處に最も近き邑すなはちその邑の長老等は未だ使はず未だ軛を負せて牽ざるところの少き牝牛を取り
4 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto an ever-flowing watercourse, which is not tilled, nor is it sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the watercourse;
邑の長老等その牝牛を耕すことも種蒔こともせざる流つきせぬ谷に牽ゆきその谷において牝牛の頸を折べし
5 and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to do service unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall be every controversy and every stroke.
その時は祭司たるレビの子孫等其處に進み來るべし彼らは汝の神ヱホバが選びて己に事へしめまたヱホバの名をもて祝することを爲しめたまふ者にて一切の訴訟と一切の爭競は彼らの口によりて決定るべきが故なり
6 And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto him that is slain, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck is broken in the watercourse,
而してその人の殺されをりし處に最も近き邑の長老等その谷にて頸を折たる牝牛の上において手を洗ひ
7 and shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
答へて言べし我らの手はこの血を流さず我らの目はこれを見ざりしなり
8 Forgive thy people Israel, whom thou, Jehovah, hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel; and the blood shall be expiated for them.
ヱホバよ汝が贖ひし汝の民イスラエルを赦したまへこの辜なき者の血を流せる罰を汝の民イスラエルの中に降したまふ勿れと斯せば彼らその血の罪を赦されん
9 So shalt thou put away innocent blood from thy midst, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
汝かくヱホバの善と觀たまふ事をおこなひその辜なき者の血を流せる咎を汝らの中より除くべし
10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou hast taken captives of them,
汝出て汝の敵と戰ふにあたり汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の手に付したまひて汝これを俘虜となしたる時
11 and thou seest among the captives a woman of beautiful form, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wife;
汝もしその俘虜の中に貌美しき女あるを見てこれを悦び取て妻となさんとせば
12 then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
汝の家の中にこれを携へゆくべし而して彼はその髮を剃り爪を截り
13 and she shall put the clothes of her captivity from off her, and shall abide in thy house, and bewail her father and mother a full month, and afterwards thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
まだ俘虜の衣服を脱すてて汝の家に居りその父母のために一月のあひだ哀哭べし然る後なんぢ故の處に入りてこれが夫となりこれを汝の妻とすべし
14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go according to her desire; but thou shalt in no wise sell her for money; thou shalt not treat her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her.
その後汝もし彼を好まずなりなば彼の心のままに去ゆかしむべし決して金のためにこれを賣べからず汝すでにこれを犯したれば之を嚴く待遇べからざるなり
15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and one hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and the firstborn son be hers that was hated;
人二人の妻ありてその一人は愛する者一人は惡む者ならんにその愛する者と惡む者の二人ともに男の子を生ありてその長子もし惡む婦の產る者なる時は
16 then it shall be, in the day that he maketh his sons to inherit what he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
その子等に己の所有を嗣しむる日にその惡む婦の產る長子を措てその愛する婦の產る子を長子となすべからず
17 but he shall acknowledge as firstborn the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that is found with him; for he is the firstfruits of his vigour: the right of the firstborn is his.
必ずその惡む者の產る子を長子となし己の所有を分つ時にこれには二倍を與ふべし是は己の力の始にして長子の權これに屬すればなり
18 If a man have an unmanageable and rebellious son, who hearkeneth not unto the voice of his father, nor unto the voice of his mother, and they have chastened him, but he hearkeneth not unto them;
人にもし放肆にして背悖る子ありその父の言にも母の言にも順はず父母これを責るも聽ことをせざる時は
19 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
その父母これを執へてその處の門にいたり邑の長老等に就き
20 and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is unmanageable and rebellious, he hearkeneth not unto our voice; he is a profligate and a drunkard.
邑の長老たちに言べし我らの此子は放肆にして背悖る者我らの言にしたがはざる者放蕩にして酒に耽る者なりと
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. And thou shalt put evil away from thy midst; and all Israel shall hear and fear.
然る時は邑の人みな石をもて之を撃殺すべし汝かく汝らの中より惡事を除き去べし然せばイスラエルみな聞て懼れん
22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou have hanged him on a tree,
人もし死にあたる罪を犯して死刑に遇ことありて汝これを木に懸て曝す時は
23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged is a curse of God); and thou shalt not defile thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
翌朝までその體を木の上に留おくべからず必ずこれをその日の中に埋むべし其は木に懸らるる者はヱホバに詛はるる者なればなり斯するは汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふて產業となさしめたまふ地の汚れざらんためなり
