Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくしたる時ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,
汝ら民の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧げ
3 and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.
これに命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの中祭司等の足を踏とめしその處より石十二を取あげてこれを負ひ濟り此夜なんぢらが宿る宿場に居ゑよと
4 And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;
ヨシユアすなはちイスラエルの人々の中より支派ごとに預て一人づつを取て備へおきぬその十二人の者を召よせ
5 and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
而してヨシユアこれに言けるは汝らの神ヱホバの契約の櫃の前に當りて汝らヨルダンの中にすすみ入りイスラエルの人々の支派の數に循ひて各々石ひとつを取あげて肩に負きたれ
6 that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
是は汝らの中に徴となるべし後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩是等の石は何のこころなりやと問て言ば
7 then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
之にいへ往昔ヨルダンの水ヱホバの契約の櫃の前にて裁斷りたる事を表はすなり即ちそのヨルダンを濟れる時にヨルダンの水きれ止まれりこの故にこれらの石を永くイスラエルの人々の記念となすべしと
8 And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.
イスラエルのひとびとヨシユアの命ぜしごとく然なしヱホバのヨシユアに告げたまひし如くイスラエルの人々の支派の數にしたがひてヨルダンの中より石十二を取あげ之を負わたりてその宿る處にいたり之を其處にすゑたり
9 And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.
ヨシユアまたヨルダンの中において契約の櫃を舁る祭司等の足を踏立し處に石十二を立たりしが今日までも尚ほ彼處にあり
10 And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.
櫃を舁る祭司等はヱホバのヨシユアに命じて民に告しめたまひし事の悉く成るまでヨルダンの中に立をれり凡てモーセのヨシユアに命ぜし所に適へり民は急ぎて濟りぬ
11 And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
民の悉く濟りつくせるときヱホバの櫃および祭司等は民の觀る前にて濟りたり
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半モーセの之に言たりし如く身をよろひてイスラエルの人々に先だちて濟りゆき
13 About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.
凡そ四萬人ばかりの者軍の装に身を堅め攻戰はんとてヱホバに先だち濟りてヱリコの平野に至れり
14 On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
ヱホバこの日イスラエルの衆人の目の前にてヨシユアを尊くしたまひければ皆モーセを畏れしごとくに彼を畏る其一生の間常に然り
15 And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまひけるは
16 Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
なんぢ證詞の櫃を舁る祭司等にヨルダンを出きたれと命ぜよ
17 And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
ヨシユアすなはち祭司等に命じヨルダンを出きたれと言ければ
18 And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.
ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中より出きたる 祭司等足の蹠を陸地に擧ると斉くヨルダンの水故の處に流れかへりて初のごとくその岸にことごとく溢れぬ
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.
正月の十日に民ヨルダンを出きたりヱリコの東の境界なるギルガルに營を張り
20 And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
時にヨシユアそのヨルダンより取きたらせし十二の石をギルガルにたて
21 And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?
イスラエルの人々に語りて言ふ後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩その父に問て是らの石は何の意なりやと言ば
22 then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;
その子輩に告しらせて言へ在昔イスラエルこのヨルダンを陸地となして濟りすぎし事あり
23 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
即ち汝らの神ヱホバ、ヨルダンの水を汝らの前に乾涸して汝らを濟らせたまへり其事は汝らの神ヱホバの我らの前に紅海を乾涸して我らを渡らせたまひし状况の如くなりき
24 that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
斯なしたまひしは地の諸の民をしてヱホバの手の力あるを知しめ汝らの神ヱホバを恒に畏れしめんためなり
