Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
ヱホバ、モーセに命じモアブの地にてイスラエルの子孫と契約を結ばしめたまふその言は斯のごとし是はホレブにてかれらと結びし契約の外なる者なり
2 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.
モーセ、イスラエルの全家を呼あつめて之に言けるは汝らはヱホバがエジプトの地において汝らの目の前にてパロとその臣下とその全地とに爲たまひし一切の事を觀たり
3 The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
即ち其大なる試煉と徴證と大なる奇跡とを汝目に觀たるなり
4 And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
然るにヱホバ今日にいたるまで汝らの心をして悟ることなく目をして見ることなく耳をして聞ことなからしめたまへり
5 He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
四十年の間われ汝らを導きて曠野を通りしが汝らの身の衣服は古びず汝の足の鞋は古びざりき
6 You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
汝らはまたパンをも食はず葡萄酒をも濃酒をも飮ざりき斯ありて汝らは我が汝らの神ヱホバなることを知り
7 And you came to this place: sand Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.
汝らこの處に來りし時ヘシボンの王シホンおよびバシヤンの王オグ我らを迎へて戰ひしが我らこれを打敗りて
8 And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
その地を取りこれをルベン人とガド人とマナセの半支派とに與へて產業となさしめたり
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfill them: that you may understand all that you do.
然ば汝らこの契約の言を守りてこれを行ふべし然れば汝らの凡て爲ところに祥あらん
10 You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
汝らみな今日なんぢらの神ヱホバの前に立つ即ち汝らの首領等なんぢらの支派なんぢらの長老等および汝らの牧司等などイスラエルの一切の人
11 Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:
汝らの小き者等汝らの妻ならびに汝らの營の中にをる客旅など凡て汝のために薪を割る者より水を汲む者にいたるまで皆ヱホバの前に立て
12 That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.
汝の神ヱホバの契約に入んとし又汝の神ヱホバの汝にむかひて今日なしたまふところの誓に入んとす
13 That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
然ばヱホバさきに汝に言しごとくまた汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひしごとく今日なんぢを立て己の民となし己みづから汝の神となりたまはん
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
我はただ汝らと而已此契約と誓とを結ぶにあらず
15 But with all that are present and that are absent.
今日此にてわれらの神ヱホバの前に我らとともにたちをる者ならびに今日われらとともに此にたち居ざる者ともこれを結ぶなり
16 For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
我らは如何にエジプトの地に住をりしか如何に國々を通り來りしか汝らこれを知り
17 You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
汝らはまた木石金銀にて造れる憎むべき物および偶像のその國々にあるを見たり
18 Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
然ば汝らの中に今日その心に我らの神ヱホバを離れて其等の國々の神に往て事ふる男女宗族支派などあるべからず又なんぢらの中に葶藶または茵蔯を生ずる根あるべからず
19 And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,
斯る人はこの呪詛の言を聞もその心に自ら幸福なりと思ひて言ん我はわが心を剛愎にして事をなすも尚平安なり終には酔飽る者をもて渇ける者を除くにいたらんと
20 And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,
是のごとき人はヱホバかならず之を赦したまはじ還てヱホバの忿怒と嫉妬の火これが上に燃えまたこの書にしるしたる災禍みなその身に加はらんヱホバつひにその人の名を天が下より抹さりたまふべし
21 And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant:
ヱホバすなはちイスラエルの諸の支派の中よりその人を分ちてこれに災禍を下しこの律法の書にしるしたる契約中の諸の呪詛のごとくしたまはん
22 And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it,
汝等の後に起る汝らの子孫の代の人および遠き國より來る客旅この地の災禍を見またヱホバがこの地に流行せたまふ疾病を見て言ところあらん
23 Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation:
即ち彼ら見るにその全地は硫黄となり鹽となり且燒土となりて種も蒔れず產する所もなく何の草もその上に生せずして彼の昔ヱホバがその震怒と忿恨とをもて毀ちたましソドム、ゴモラ、アデマ、ゼポイムの毀たれたると同じかるべければ
24 And all the nations shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land? what meaneth this exceeding great heat of his wrath?
彼らも國々の人もみな言んヱホバ何とて斯この地になしたるやこの烈しき大なる震怒は何事ぞやと
25 And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
その時人應へて曰ん彼らはその先祖たちの神ヱホバがエジプトの地より彼らを導きいだして彼らと結びたるその契約を棄て
26 And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:
往て己の識ずまた授らざる他の神々に事へてこれを拝みたるが故なり
27 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume:
是をもてヱホバこの地にむかひて震怒を發しこの書にしるしたる諸の災禍をこれに下し
28 And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day.
而してヱホバ震怒と忿恨と大なる憤怨をもて彼らをこの地より抜とりてこれを他の國に投やれりその状今日のごとし
29 Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
隠微たる事は我らの神ヱホバに屬する者なりまた顯露されたる事は我らと我らの子孫に屬し我らをしてこの律法の諸の言を行はしむる者なり
