< Deuteronomy 9 >
1 Hear, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, cities great and walled up to heaven,
イスラエルよ聽け汝は今日ヨルダンを濟りゆき汝よりも大にして強き國々に入てこれを取んとすその邑々は大にして石垣は天に達り
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!
その民は汝が知ところのアナクの子孫にして大くかつ身長たかし汝また人の言るを聞り云く誰かアナクの子孫の前に立ことを得んと
3 Know then this day, that Jehovah thy God is he that goeth over before thee, a consuming fire; he will destroy them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them and cause them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath said unto thee.
汝今日知る汝の神ヱホバは燬つくす火にましまして汝の前に進みたまふとヱホバかならず彼らを滅ぼし彼らを汝の前に攻伏たまはんヱホバの汝に言たまひし如く汝かれらを逐はらひ速かに彼らを滅ぼすべし
4 Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee.
汝の神ヱホバ汝の前より彼らを逐はらひたまはん後に汝心に言なかれ云く我の義がためにヱホバ我をこの地に導きいりてこれを獲させたまへりとそはこの國々の民の惡きがためにヱホバ之を汝の前より逐はらひたまふなり
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
汝の往てその地を獲は汝の義きによるにあらず又なんぢの心の直によるに非ずこの國々の民惡きが故に汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の前より逐はらひたまふなりヱホバの斯したまふはまた汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓たりし言を行はんとてなり
6 Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.
汝知る汝の神ヱホバの汝に此美地を與へて獲させたまふは汝の義きによるに非ず汝は項の強き民なればなり
7 Remember, forget not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
汝曠野に於て汝の神ヱホバを怒せし事を憶えて忘るる勿れ汝らはエジプトの地を出し日より此處にいたる日まで常にヱホバに悖れり
8 And at Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you, to destroy you,
ホレブにおいて汝らヱホバを怒せたればヱホバ汝らを怒りて汝らを滅ぼさんとしたまへり
9 when I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode in the mountain forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, —
かの時われ石の板すなはちヱホバの汝らに立たまへる契約を載る石の板を受んとて山に上り四十日四十夜山に居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき
10 — and Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
ヱホバ我に神の指をもて書しるしたる文字ある石の板二枚を授けたまへりその上には集會の日にヱホバが山において火の中より汝らに告たまひし言をことごとく載す
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
すなはち四十日四十夜過し時ヱホバ我にその契約を載る板なる石の板二枚を授け
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten image.
而してヱホバ我に言たまひけるは汝起あがりて速かに此より下れ汝がエジプトより導き出しし民は惡き事を行ふなり彼らは早くもわが彼らに命ぜし道を離れて自己のために偶像を鋳造れりと
13 And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
ヱホバまた我に言たまひけるは我この民を觀たり視よ是は項の強き民なり
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
我を阻むるなかれ我かれらを滅ぼしその名を天が下より抹さり汝をして彼らよりも強くまた大なる民とならしむべし
15 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
是に於て我身をめぐらして山を下りけるが山は火にて燒をる又その契約の板二枚はわが兩の手にあり
16 And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
斯て我觀しに汝らはその神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯し自己のために犢を鋳造りて早くもヱホバの汝らに命じたまひし道を離れたりしかば
17 And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
我その二枚の板をとりてわが兩の手よりこれを擲ち汝らの目の前にこれを碎けり
18 And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, — because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
而して我は前のごとく四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏て居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき是は汝らヱホバの目の前に惡き事をおこなひ之を怒せて大に罪を獲たればなり
19 For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time.
ヱホバ忿怒を發し憤恨をおこし汝らを怒りて滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我懼れたりしが此度もまたヱホバ我に聽たまへり
20 And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
ヱホバまた痛くアロンを怒りてこれを滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我その時またアロンのために祈れり
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.
斯て我なんぢらが作りて罪を犯しし犢を取り火をもて之を燒きこれを搗きこれを善く打碎きて細き塵となしその塵を山より流れ下るところの渓流に投棄たり
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
汝らはタベラ、マツサおよびキブロテハツタワにおいてもまたヱホバを怒らせたり
23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
またヱホバ、カデシバルネアより汝らを遣さんとせし時言たまひけるは汝ら上りゆきて我がなんぢらに與ふる地を獲て產業とせよと然るに汝らはその神ヱホバの命に悖り之を信ぜずまたその言を聽ざりき
24 Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
我が汝らを識し日より以來汝らは常にヱホバに悖りしなり
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
かの時ヱホバ汝らを滅さんと言たまひしに因て我最初に伏たる如く四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏し
26 I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
ヱホバに祈りて言けるは主ヱホバよ汝その大なる權能をもて贖ひ強き手をもてエジプトより導き出しし汝の民汝の產業を滅したまふ勿れ
27 Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;
汝の僕アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブを念たまへ此民の剛愎と惡と罪とを鑑みたまふ勿れ
28 lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
恐くは汝が我らを導き出したまひし國の人言んヱホバその約せし地にかれらを導きいること能はざるに因りまた彼らを惡むに因て彼らを導き出して曠野に殺せりと
29 They are indeed thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out with thy great power and with thy stretched-out arm.
抑かれらは汝の民汝の產業にして汝が強き能力をもて腕を伸て導き出したまひし者なり
