Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために此に七個の壇を築き此に七匹の牡牛と七匹の牡羊を備へよと
2 And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しバラクとバラムその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたり
3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill.
而してバラムはバラクにむかひ汝は燔祭の傍に立をれ我は往んとすヱホバあるひは我に來りのぞみたまはんその我に示したまふところの事は凡てこれを汝に告んと言て一の高處に登たるに
4 And God met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon [each] altar.
神バラムに臨みたまひければバラムこれに言けるは我は七箇の壇を設けその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたりと
5 And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
ヱホバ、バラムの口に言を授けて言たまはく汝バラクの許に歸りて斯いふべしと
6 And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
彼すなはちバラクの許に至るにバラクはモアブの諸の牧伯等とともに燔祭の傍に立をる
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!
バラムすなはちこの歌をのべて云くモアブの王バラク、スリアより我を招き寄せ東の邦の山より我を招き寄て云ふ來りて我ためにヤコブを詛へ來りてわがためにイスラエルを呪れと
8 How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?
神の詛はざる者を我いかで詛ふことを得んやヱホバの呪らざる者を我いかで呪ることを得んや
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, [it is] a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
磐の頂より我これを觀岡の上より我これを望むこの民は獨り離れて居ん萬の民の中に列ぶことなからん
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!
誰かヤコブの塵を計へ得んやイスラエルの四分一を數ふることを能せんや願くは義人のごとくに我死ん願くはわが終これが終にひとしかれ
11 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
是においてバラク、バラムに言けるは汝我に何を爲や我はわが敵を詛はしめんとて汝を携きたりしなるに汝はかへつて全くこれを祝せり
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?
バラムこたへて言けるは我は愼みてヱホバの我口に授る事のみを宣べきにあらずや
13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.
バラクこれに言けるは請ふ汝われとともに他の處に來りて其處より彼らを觀よ汝ただ彼らの極端のみを觀ん彼らを全くは觀ことを得ざるべし請ふ其處にて我ために彼らを詛へと
14 And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
やがて之を導きてピスガの嶺なる斥候の原に至り七箇の壇を築きて壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
15 And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.
時にバラム、バラクに言けるは汝此にて燔祭の傍に立をれ我またも往て會見ゆることをせんと
16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
ヱホバまたバラムに臨みて言をその口に授け汝バラクの許に歸りてかく言へとのたまひければ
17 And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
彼バラクの許にかへりけるにバラクは燔祭の傍に立をりモアブの牧伯等これとともに居りしがバラクすなはちバラムにむかひヱホバ何と言しやと問ければ
18 Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!
バラムまたこの歌を宣たり云くバラクよ起て聽けチッポルの子よ我に耳を傾けよ
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good?
神は人のごとく謊ること无しまた人の子のごとく悔ること有ずその言ところは之を行はざらんやその語るところは之を成就ざらんや
20 Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
我はこれがために福祉をいのれとの命令を受く旣に之に福祉をたまへば我これを變るあたはざるなり
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst.
ヱホバ、ヤコブの中に惡き事あるを見ずイスラエルの中に憂患あるを見ずその神ヱホバこれとともに在し王を喜びて呼はる聲その中にあり
22 God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo.
神かれらをエジプトより導き出したまふイスラエルは強きこと兕のごとし
23 For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
ヤコブには魔術なしイスラエルには占卜あらず神はその爲ところをその時にヤコブに告げイスラエルにしめしたまふなり
24 Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.
觀よこの民は牝獅子のごとくに起あがり牡獅子のごとくに身を興さん是はその攫得たる物を食ひその殺しし物の血を飮では臥ことを爲じ
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
是においてバラクはバラムに向ひ汝かれらを詛ふことをも祝することをも爲なかれと言けるに
26 And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?
バラムこたへてバラクに言ふ我はヱホバの宣まふ事は凡てこれを爲ざるを得ずと汝に告おきしにあらずやと
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence.
バラクまたバラムに言けるは請ふ來れ我なんぢを他の處に導き往ん神あるひは汝が其處より彼らを我ために詛ふことを善とせんと
28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste.
バラクすなはちバラムを導きて曠野に對するペオルの嶺に至るに
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために七箇の壇を此に築き牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を此に備へよと
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
