< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
(イスラエルの人々の故によりてヱリコは堅く閉して出入する者なし)
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言ひたまひけるは觀よわれヱリコおよびその王と大勇士とを汝の手に付さん
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
汝ら軍人みな邑を繞りて邑の周圍を一次まはるべし汝六日が間かく爲よ
4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
祭司等七人おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへて櫃に先だつべし而して第七日には汝ら七次邑をめぐり祭司等喇叭を吹ならすべし
5 And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.
然して祭司等ヨベルの角を音ながくふきならして喇叭の聲なんぢらに聞ゆる時は民みな大に呼はり喊ぶべし然せばその邑の石垣崩れおちん民みな直に進て攻のぼるべしと
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.
ヌンの子ヨシユアやがて祭司等を召て之に言ふ汝ら契約の櫃を舁き祭司等七人ヨベルの喇叭七をたづさへてヱホバの櫃に先だつべしと
7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
而して民に言ふ汝ら進みゆきて邑を繞れ甲冑のものどもヱホバの櫃に先だちて進むべしと
8 And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.
ヨシユアかく民に語りしかば七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバに先だちすきみて喇叭を吹きヱホバの契約の櫃これにしたがふ
9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
即ち甲冑のものどもは喇叭を吹くところの祭司等にさきだちて行き後軍は櫃の後に行く祭司たちは喇叭を吹きつつすすめり
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.
ヨシユア民に命じて言ふ汝ら呼はる勿れ汝らの聲を聞えしむるなかれまた汝らの口より言を出すなかれわが汝らに呼はれと命ずる日におよびて呼はるべしと
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
而してヱホバの櫃をもち邑を繞りて一周し陣營に來りて營中に宿れり
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
又あくる朝ヨシユアはやく興いで祭司等ヱホバの櫃を舁き
13 And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバの櫃に先だちて行き喇叭を吹きつつすすみ甲冑の者等これに先だちて行き後軍はヱホバの櫃の後に行く祭司等喇叭をふきつつ進めり
14 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
その次の日にも一次邑を繞りて陣營に歸り六日が間然なせり
15 And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times.
第七日には夜明に早く興いで前のごとくして七次邑を繞れり唯この日のみ七次邑を繞りたり
16 And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city.
七次目にいたりて祭司等喇叭を吹くときにヨシユア民に言ふ汝ら呼はれヱホバこの邑を汝らに賜へり
17 And the city shall be accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
この邑およびその中の一切の物をば詛はれしものとしてヱホバに献ぐべし唯妓婦ラハブおよび凡て彼とともに家に在るものは生し存べしわれらが遣しし使者を匿したればなり
18 But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
唯汝ら詛はれし物を愼め恐らくは汝ら其を詛はれしものとして献ぐるに方りその詛はれし物を自ら取りてイスラエルの陣營をも詛はるるものとならしめ之をして惱ましむるに至らん
19 And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
但し銀金銅器鐵器などは凡てヱホバに聖別て奉まつるべきものなればヱホバの府庫にこれを携へいるべしと
20 And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.
是において民よばはり祭司喇叭を吹ならしけるが民喇叭の聲をきくと斉しくみな大聲を擧て呼はりしかば石垣崩れおちぬ斯りしかば民おのおの直に邑に上りいりて邑を攻取り
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
邑にある者は男女少きもの老たるものの區別なく盡くこれを刃にかけて滅ぼし且つ牛羊驢馬にまで及ぼせり
22 And Joshua said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her.
時にヨシユアこの地を窺ひたりし二箇の人にむかひ汝らかの妓婦の家に入りかの婦人およびかれに屬る一切のものを携へいだしかれに誓ひし如くせよと言ければ
23 And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.
間者たりし少き人等すなはち入てラハブおよびその父母兄弟ならびに彼につけるすべてのものを携へ出しまたその親戚をも携へ出しイスラエルの陣營の外にかれらを置り
24 And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
斯て火をもて邑とその中の一切のものを焚ぬ但し銀金銅器鐵器などはヱホバの室の府庫に納めたり
25 And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
妓婦ラハブおよびその父の家の一族と彼に屬る一切の者とはヨシユアこれを生し存ければラハブは今日までイスラエルの中に住をる是はヨシユアがヱリコを窺はせんとて遣はしし使者を匿したるに因てなり
26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.
ヨシユアその時人衆に誓ひて命じ言けるは凡そ起てこのヱリコの邑を建る者はヱホバの前に詛はるべし其石礎をすゑなば長子を失ひその門を建なば季子を失はんと
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアとともに在してヨシユアの名あまねく此地に聞ゆ
