Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you.
今イスラエルよ我が汝らに敎ふる法度と律法を聽てこれを行へ然せば汝らは生ることを得汝らの先祖の神ヱホバの汝らに賜ふ地にいりて之を產業となすを得べし
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye take from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
我が汝らに命ずる言は汝らこれを増しまたは減すべからず我が汝らに命ずる汝らの神ヱホバの命令を守るべし
3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you;
汝らはヱホバがバアルペオルの事によりて行ひたまひし所を目に觀たり即ちバアルペオルに從ひたる人々は汝の神ヱホバことごとく之を汝らの中間より滅し去たまひしが
4 but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
汝らの神ヱホバに附て離れざりし汝等はみな今日までも生ながらへ居るなり
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it.
我はわが神ヱホバの我に命じたまひし如くに法度と律法を汝らに敎へ汝らをしてその往て獲ところの地において之を行はしめんとせり
6 And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
然ば汝ら之を守り行ふべし然する事は國々の民の目の前において汝らの智慧たり汝らの知識たるなり彼らこの諸の法度を聞て言んこの大なる國人は必ず智慧あり知識ある民なりと
7 For what great nation is there that hath God near to them as Jehovah our God is in everything we call upon him for?
われらの神ヱホバは我らがこれに龥もとむるに常に我らに近く在すなり何の國人か斯のごとく大にして神これに近く在すぞ
8 And what great nation is there that hath righteous statutes and ordinances, as all this law which I set before you this day?
また何の國人か斯のごとく大にして今日我が汝らの前に立るこの一切の律法の如き正しき法度と律法とを有るぞ
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
汝深く自ら愼み汝の心を善く守れ恐くは汝その目に觀たる事を忘れん恐くは汝らの生存らふる日の中に其等の事汝の心を離れん汝それらの事を汝の子汝の孫に敎へよ
10 the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children.
汝がホレブにおいて汝の神ヱホバの前に立る日にヱホバわれに言たまひけらく我ために民を集めよ我これに吾言を聽しめ之をしてその世に存らふる日の間我を畏るることを學ばせまたその子女を敎ふることを爲しめんとすと
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity.
是において汝らは前みよりて山の麓に立ちけるが山は火にて燒てその燄は中天に沖り暗くして雲あり黑雲深かりき
12 And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.
時にヱホバ火の中より汝らに言ひたまひしが汝らは言詞の聲を聞る而已にて聲の外は何の像をも見ざりし
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
ヱホバすなはち其契約を汝らに述て汝らに之を守れと命じたまへり是すなはち十誡にしてヱホバこれを二枚の石の板に書したまふ
14 And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it.
かの時にヱホバ我に命じて汝らに法度と律法を敎へしめたまへり是汝らにその往て獲ところの地にて之を爲しめんとてなりき
15 And take great heed to your souls (for ye saw no form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire),
ホレブにおいてヱホバ火の中より汝らに言ひたまひし日には汝ら何の像をも見ざりしなり然ば汝ら深く自ら愼み
16 lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the pattern of male or female,
道をあやまりて自己のために偶像を刻む勿れ物の像は男の形にもあれ女の形にもあれ凡て造るなかれ
17 the pattern of any beast that is on the earth, the pattern of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,
即ち地の上にをる諸の獣の像空に飛ぶ諸の鳥の像
18 the pattern of anything that creepeth on the ground, the pattern of any fish that is in the waters under the earth;
地に匍ふもろもろの物の像地の下の水の中に居る諸の魚の像など凡て造る勿れ
19 and lest thou lift up thine eyes to the heavens, and see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the whole host of heaven, and be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath assigned unto all peoples under the whole heaven.
汝目をあげて天を望み日月星辰など凡て天の衆群を觀誘はれてこれを拝み之に事ふる勿れ是は汝の神ヱホバが一天下の萬國の人々に分ちたまひし者なり
20 But you hath Jehovah taken, and hath brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, that ye might be to him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.
ヱホバ汝らを取り汝らを鐵の爐の中すなはちエジプトより導きいだして自己の產業の民となしたまへること今日のごとし
21 And Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not enter in to that good land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance;
然るにヱホバなんぢらの故によりて我を怒り我はヨルダンを濟りゆくことを得ずまた汝の神ヱホバが汝の產業に賜ひしその美地に入ことを得ずと誓ひたまへり
22 for I shall die in this land, I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess this good land.
我はこの地に死ざるを得ず我はヨルダンを濟りゆくことあたはずなんぢらは濟りゆきて之を獲て產業となすことを得ん
23 Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.
汝ら自ら愼み汝らの神ヱホバが汝らに立たまひし契約を忘れて汝の神ヱホバの禁じたまふ偶像など凡て物の像を刻むことを爲なかれ
24 For Jehovah thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
汝の神ヱホバは燬盡す火嫉妬神なり
25 When thou begettest sons, and sons' sons, and ye have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger,
汝ら子を擧け孫を得てその地に長く居におよびて若し道をあやまりて偶像など凡て物の像を刻み汝の神ヱホバの惡と觀たまふ事をなしてその震怒を惹おこすことあらば
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days on it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
我今日天と地を呼て證となす汝らはかならずそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲たる地より速かに滅亡うせん汝らはその上に汝らの日を永うする能はず必ず滅びうせん
27 And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you.
ヱホバなんぢらを國々に散したまべしヱホバの汝らを逐やりたまふ國々の中に汝らの遺る者はその數寡なからん
28 And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
其處にて汝らは人の手の作なる見ことも聞ことも食ふことも嗅こともなき木や石の神々に事へん
29 And from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul.
但しまた其處にて汝その神ヱホバを求むるあらんに若し心をつくし精神を盡してこれを求めなば之に遇ん
30 In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice,
後の日にいたりて汝艱難にあひて此もろもろの事の汝に臨まん時に汝もしその神ヱホバにたち歸りてその言にしたがはば
31 — for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God, — he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
汝の神ヱホバは慈悲ある神なれば汝を棄ず汝を滅さずまた汝の先祖に誓ひたりし契約を忘れたまはざるべし
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
試に問へ汝の前に過さりし日神が地の上に人を造りたまひし日より已來天の此極より彼極までに曾て斯のごとき大なる事ありしや是のごとき事の聞えたる事ありしや
33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
曾て人神が火の中より言ふ聲を汝らが聞るごとくに聞て尚生る者ありしや
34 Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
汝らの神ヱホバがエジプトにおいて汝らの目の前にて汝らの爲に諸の事を爲たまひし如く曾て試探と徴證と奇蹟と戰爭と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる恐嚇をもて來りこの民をかの民の中より領いださんとせし神ありしや
35 Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God — there is none other besides him.
汝にこの事を示ししはヱホバはすなはち神にしてその外には有ことなしと汝に知しめんがためなりき
36 From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
汝を敎へんためにヱホバ天より汝に聲を聞しめ地に於てはまたその大なる火を汝に示したまへり即ち汝はその言の火の中より出るを聞り
37 And because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, he brought thee out with his countenance, with his great power, out of Egypt,
ヱホバ汝の先祖等を愛したまひしが故にその後の子孫を選び大なる能力をもて親ら汝をエジプトより導き出したまひ
38 to dispossess nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
汝よりも大にして強き國々の民を汝の前より逐はらひ汝をその地に導きいりて之を汝の產業に與へんとしたまふこと今日のごとくなり
39 Thou shalt know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that Jehovah, he is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
然ば汝今日知て心に思念べし上は天下は地においてヱホバは神にいましその外には神有こと無し
40 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days on the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever.
今日わが汝に命ずるヱホバの法度と命令を守るべし然せば汝と汝の後の子孫祥を得汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ地において汝その日を永うすることを得て疆なからん
41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side the Jordan toward the sun-rising,
斯てモーセ、ヨルダンの此旁日の出る方にないて邑三を別てり
42 that the manslayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not previously, that fleeing to one of these cities, he might live:
是素より怨なきに誤りて人を殺せる者をして其處に逃れしむる爲なり其邑の一に逃るる時はその人生命を全うするを得べし
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, of the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
即ち一は曠野の内の平野にあるベゼル是はルベン人のためなり一はギレアデのラモテ是はガド人のためなり一はバシヤンのゴラン是はマナセ人のためなり
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
モーセがイスラエルの子孫の前に示しし律法は是なり
45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses declared to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
イスラエルの子孫のエジプトより出たる後モーセこの誡命と法度と律法を之に述たり
46 on this side the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote when they came out of Egypt;
即ちヨルダンの此旁なるアモリ人の王シホンの地にありベテペオルに對する谷に於て之を述たりシホンはヘシボンに住をりしがモーセとイスラエルの子孫エジプトより出きたりし後これを撃ほろぼして
47 and they took possession of his land, and the land of Og the king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side the Jordan, toward the sun-rising;
之が地を獲またバシヤンの王オグの地を獲たり彼ら二人はアモリ人の王にしてヨルダンの此旁日の出る方に居り
48 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, as far as mount Sion, which is Hermon,
その獲たる地はアルノン河の邊なるアロエルよりヘルモンといふシオン山にいたり
49 and all the plain on this side the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the sea of the plain, under the slopes of Pisgah.
ヨルダンの此旁すなはちその東の方なるアラバの全部を括てアラバの鹽海に達しピスガの麓におよべり
