Joshua 8
1 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
茲にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ軍人をことごとく率ゐ起てアイに攻のぼれ視よ我アイの王およびその民その邑その地を都て汝の手に授く
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.
汝さきにヱリコとその王とに爲し如くアイとその王とに爲べし今回は其貨財およびその家畜を奪ひて自ら取べし汝まづ邑の後に伏兵を設くべしと
3 And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.
ヨシユアすなはち起あがり軍人をことごとく將てアイに攻のぼらんとしまづ大勇士三萬人を選びて夜の中にこれを遣はせり
4 And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.
ヨシユアこれに命じて言く汝らは邑に對ひて邑の後に伏すべし邑に遠く離れをる勿れ皆準備をなして待をれ
5 And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
我と我に從がふ民みな共に邑に攻よせん而して彼らが初のごとく我らにむかひて打出んとき我らは彼らの前より逃はしらん
6 And they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; and we will flee before them.
然せば彼ら我らを追て出來べければ我等つひに之を邑より誘き出すことを得ん其は彼等いはんこの人衆は初めのごとくまた我等の前より逃ぐと斯てわれらその前より逃はしらん
7 And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
汝らその伏をる處より起りて邑を取べし汝らの神ヱホバ之を汝らの手に付したまふべし
8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
汝ら邑を乗取たらば邑に火を放ちヱホバの言詞の如く爲べし我これを汝らに命ず努よやと
9 And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.
かくてヨシユアかれらを遣はしければ即はち往てアイの西の方にてベテルとアイとの間に身を伏せたりヨシユアはその夜民の中に宿れり
10 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
ヨシユア朝はやく興いでて民をあつめイスラエルの長老等とともに民に先だちてアイにのぼりゆけり
11 And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.
彼に從がふ軍人ことごとく上りゆきて攻寄せ邑の前に至りてアイの北に陣をとれり彼とアイの間には一の谷ありき
12 Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.
ヨシユア五千人許を擧て邑の西の方にてベテルとアイとの間にこれを伏せおけり
13 And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
かく民の全軍を邑の北に置きその伏兵を邑の西に置てヨシユアその夜谷の中にいりぬ
14 And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
アイの王これを視しかばその邑の人々みな急ぎて蚤に起き進み出てイスラエルと戰ひけるが預て諜しあはせ置る頃には王とその一切の民アラバの前に進み來れり王は邑の後に伏兵ありて已を伺ふを知らざりき
15 And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.
時にヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人とともに彼らに打負し状して荒野の路を指て逃はしりしかば
16 And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
その邑の民みな之を追撃んとて呼はり集まりヨシユアの後を追て邑を出離れ
17 And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
アイにもベテルにもイスラエルを追ゆかずして遺りをる者は一人もなく皆邑を開き放してイスラエルの後を追り
18 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.
時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまはく汝の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸よ我これを汝の手に授くべしとヨシユアすなはち己の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸るに
19 And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
伏兵たちまち其處より起りヨシユアが手を伸ると齊しく奔きたりて邑に打いり之を取りて直に邑に火をかけたり
20 And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.
茲にアイの人々背をふりかへりて觀しに邑の焚る煙天に立騰りゐたれば此へも彼へも逃るに術なかりき斯る機しも荒野に逃ゆける民も身をかへして其追きたる者等に逼れり
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
ヨシユアおよび一切のイスラエル人伏兵の邑を取て邑の焚る煙の立騰るを見身を還してアイの人々を殺しけるが
22 And the others went out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until they let none of them escape or flee away.
かの兵また邑より出きたりて彼らに向ひければ彼方にも此方にもイスラエル人ありて彼らはその中間に挾まれぬイスラエル人かくして彼らを攻撃て一人をも餘さず逃さず
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
つひにアイの王を生擒てヨシユアの許に曳きたれり
24 And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
イスラエル人己を荒野に追きたりしアイの民をことごとく野に殺し刃をもてこれを仆し盡すにおよびて皆アイに歸り刃をもてこれを撃ほろぼせり
25 And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
その日アイの人々ことごとく斃れたりその數男女あはせて一萬二千人
26 And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
ヨシユア、アイの民をことごとく滅ぼし絶まではその矛を指伸たる手を垂ざりき
27 Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.
但しその邑の家畜および貨財はイスラエル人これを奪ひて自ら取り是はヱホバのヨシユアに命じたまひし言に依なり
28 And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.
ヨシユア、アイを燬て永くこれを墟垤とならしむ是は今日まで荒地となりをる
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.
ヨシユアまたアイの王を薄暮まで木に掛てさらし日の沒におよびて命じてその死骸を木より取おろさしめ邑の門の入口にこれを投すて其上に石の大垤を積おこせり其は今日まで存る
30 Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
かくてヨシユア、エバル山にてイスラエルの神ヱホバに一の壇を築けり
31 as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
是はヱホバの僕モーセがイスラエルの子孫に命ぜしことに本づきモーセの律法の書に記されたる所に循がひて新石をもて作れる壇にて何人も鐵器をその上に振あげず人衆その上にてヱホバに燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を供ふ
32 And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.
彼處にてヨシユア、モーセの書しるしし律法をイスラエルの子孫の前にて石に書うつせり
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.
かくてイスラエルの一切の人およびその長老官吏裁判人など他國の者も本國の者も打まじりてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等レビ人の前にあたりて櫃の此旁と彼旁に分れ半はゲリジム山の前に半はエバル山の前に立り是ヱホバの僕モーセの命ぜし所にしたがひて最初に先イスラエルの民を祝せんとてなり
34 And afterwards he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
然る後ヨシユア律法の書に凡てしるされたる所に循ひて祝福と呪詛とにかかはる律法の言をことごとく誦り
35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
モーセの命じたる一切の言の中にヨシユアがイスラエルの全會衆および婦人子等ならびにイスラエルの中にをる他國の人の前にて誦ざるは無りき
