Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.
是に於てイスラエルの子孫ダンよりベエルシバにいたりギレアデの地にいたるまで皆出きたり其會衆一人のごとくにしてミヅパに於てヱホバの前に集り
2 And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
衆民の長たる者すなはちイスラエルの諸の支派の長等みづから神の民の集會に出づ劍をぬくところの歩兵四十萬人ありき
3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
ベニヤミンの子孫はイスラエルの子孫がミヅパにのぼれることを聞り斯てイスラエルの子孫此惡事の樣を語れと言ければ
4 Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
彼殺されし婦の夫なるレビの人こたへていふ我わが妾とともにベニヤミンのギベアに宿らんとて往たるに
5 And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died.
ギベアの人起りたちて我をせめ夜の間に我がをる家をとりかこみて我を殺さんと企て遂にわが妾を辱しめてこれを死しめたれば
6 Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel.
我わが妾をとらへてこれをたちわり是をイスラエルの産業なる全地に遣れり是は彼らイスラエルにおいて淫事をなし愚なる事をなしたればなり
7 Behold, all ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
汝等は皆イスラエルの子孫なり今汝らの意見と思考をのべよ
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house.
民みな一人のごとくに起ていひけるは我らは誰もおのれの天幕にゆかずまた誰もおのれの家におもむかじ
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
我らがギベアになさんところの事は是なりすなはち鬮にしたがひて之を攻ん
10 and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel.
我らイスラエルの諸の支派の中に於て百人より十人千人より百人萬人より千人を取りて民の糧食を執せ之をしてベニヤミンのギベアにいたり彼らがイスラエルにおこなひたるその愚なる事にしたがひて事をなさしむべしと
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
斯イスラエルの人々皆あつまりて此邑を攻んとせしが其相結べること一人のごとくなりき
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you?
イスラエルの諸の支派遍く人をベニヤミンの支派の中に遣して言しめけるは汝らの中に此惡事のおこなはれしは何事ぞや
13 And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But [the children of] Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
然ばギベアにをるかの邪なる人々をわたせ我らこれを誅して惡をイスラエルに絶べしと然るにベニヤミンの子孫はその兄弟なるイスラエルの子孫の言を聽いれざりき
14 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
却てベニヤミンの子孫は邑々よりギベアにあつまりて出てイスラエルの子孫と戰はんとす
15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
その時邑々より出たるベニヤミンの子孫を數ふるに劍をぬく所の人二萬六千あり外にまたギベアの居民ありて之をかぞふるに精兵七百人ありき
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
この諸の民の中に左手利の精兵七百人あり皆能く投石器をもて石を投るに毫末もたがふことなし
17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
イスラエルの人を數ふるにベニヤミンを除きて劍をぬくところの者四十萬人ありき是みな軍人なり
18 And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
爰にイスラエルの子孫起あがりてベテルにのぼり神に問て我等の中孰か最初にのぼりてベニヤミンの子孫と戰ふべきやと言ふにヱホバ、ユダ最初にと言たまふ
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
イスラエルの子孫すなはち朝おきてギベアにむかひて陣をとりけるが
20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
イスラエルの人々ベニヤミンと戰はんとて出でゆきイスラエルの人々行伍をたててギベアにて彼らと戰はんとしければ
21 And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
ベニヤミンの子孫ギベアより進みいで其日イスラエル人二萬二千を地に撃仆せり
22 And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
然るにイスラエルの民の人々みづから奮ひその初の日に行伍をたてし所にまた行伍をたてたり
23 And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
而してイスラエルの子孫上りゆきてヱホバの前に夕暮まで哭きヱホバに問て言ふ我復進みよりて吾兄弟なるベニヤミンの子孫とたたかふべきやとヱホバ彼に攻のぼれと言たまへり
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
是に於てイスラエルの子孫次の日またベニヤミンの子孫の所に攻よするに
25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
ベニヤミンまた次の日ギベアより進みて之にいであい再びイスラエルの子孫一萬八千人を地に撃仆せり是みな劍をぬくところの者なりき
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
斯在しかばイスラエルの子孫と民みな上りてベテルにいたりて哭き其處にてヱホバの前に坐りその日の夕暮まで食を斷ち燔祭と酬恩祭をヱホバの前に獻げ
27 And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
而してイスラエルの子孫ヱホバにとへり（その頃は神の契約の櫃彼處にありて
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand.
アロンの子エレアザルの子なるピネハス當時これに事へたり）即ち言けるは我またも出てわが兄弟なるベニヤミンの子孫とたたかふべきや或は息べきやヱホバ言たまふ上れよ明日はわれ汝の手にかれらを付すべしと
29 And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
イスラエル是に於てギベアの周圍に伏兵を置き
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
而してイスラエルの子孫三日目にまたベニヤミンの子孫の所に攻のぼり前のごとくにギベアにむかひて行伍をたてたれば
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
ベニヤミンの子孫民に出あひしが遂に邑より誘出されたり彼等始は民を撃ち大路にて前のごとくイスラエルの人三千人許を殺せりその大路は一筋はベテルにいたり一筋は野のギベアに至る
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways.
ベニヤミンの子孫すなはち言ふ彼らは初のごとく我らに撃破らると然るにイスラエルの人は云ふ我等逃て彼らを邑より大路に誘き出さんと
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba.
イスラエルの人々みなその所を起て去りバアルタマルに行伍をたてたり而して伏兵その處より即ちギベアの野原より起れり
34 And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them.
イスラエルの全軍の中より選拔たる兵一萬來りてギベアを襲ひ其戰鬪はげしかりしがベニヤミン人は葘害の己にのぞむを知ざりき
35 And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
ヱホバ、イスラエルのまへにベニヤミンを撃敗りたまひしかばイスラエルの子孫その日ベニヤミン人二萬五千一百人を殺せり是みな劍をぬくところの者なり
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. — And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
ベニヤミンの子孫すなはち己の撃敗らるるを見たり偖イスラエルの人々そのギベアにむかひて設けたる所の伏兵を恃てベニヤミン人を避て退きけるが
37 And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
伏兵急ぎてギベアに突いり伏兵進みて刃をもて邑を盡く撃り
38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city.
イスラエルの人々とその伏兵との間に定めたる合圖は邑より大なる黒烟をあげんとの事なりき
39 And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle.
イスラエルの人々戰陣より引き退ぞくベニヤミン初が程はイスラエルの人々を撃ちて三千人許を殺し乃ち言ふ彼等はまことに最初の戰のごとく我等に撃やぶらると
40 And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens.
然るに火焔烟の柱なして邑より上りはじめしかばベニヤミン人後を見かへりしに邑は皆烟となりて空にのぼる
41 Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them.
時にイスラエルの人々ふりかへりしかばベニヤミンの人々葘害のおのれに迫るを見て狼狽へ
42 And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst.
イスラエルの人々の前より身をめぐらして野の途におもむきけるが戰鬪これに追せまりて遂にその邑々よりいでたる者どもその中に戰死す
43 They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
イスラエルの人すなはちベニヤミン人をとりまきて之を追うち容易くこれを踏たふして東の方ギベアの對面にまでおよべり
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
ベニヤミンの仆るる者一萬八千人是みな勇士なり
45 And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
茲に彼等身をめぐらして野の方ににげリンモンの磐にいたれりイスラエルの人大路にて彼等五千人を伐とり尚もこれを追うちてギドムにいたりその二千人を殺せり
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
是をもて其日ベニヤミンの仆れし者は劍をぬくところの人あはせて二萬五千なりき是みな勇士なり
47 And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
但六百人の者身をめぐらして野の方にのがれリンモンの磐にいたりて四月があひだリンモンの磐にをる
48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.
是に於てイスラエルの人々また身をかへしてベニヤミンの子孫をせめ刃をもて邑の人より畜にいたるまで凡て目にあたる者を撃ち亦その至るところの邑々に火をかけたり
