Joshua 4
1 And when they were passed over, the Lord said to Josue:
民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくしたる時ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく
2 Choose twelve men, one of every tribe:
汝ら民の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧げ
3 And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night.
これに命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの中祭司等の足を踏とめしその處より石十二を取あげてこれを負ひ濟り此夜なんぢらが宿る宿場に居ゑよと
4 And Josue called twelve men, whom he had chosen out of the children of Israel, one out of every tribe,
ヨシユアすなはちイスラエルの人々の中より支派ごとに預て一人づつを取て備へおきぬその十二人の者を召よせ
5 And he said to them: Go before the ark of the Lord your God to the midst of the Jordan, and carry from thence every man a stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the children of Israel,
而してヨシユアこれに言けるは汝らの神ヱホバの契約の櫃の前に當りて汝らヨルダンの中にすすみ入りイスラエルの人々の支派の數に循ひて各々石ひとつを取あげて肩に負きたれ
6 That it may be a sign among you and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What mean these stones?
是は汝らの中に徴となるべし後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩是等の石は何のこころなりやと問て言ば
7 You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when it passed over the same: therefore were these atones set for a monument of the children of Israel for ever.
之にいへ往昔ヨルダンの水ヱホバの契約の櫃の前にて裁斷りたる事を表はすなり即ちそのヨルダンを濟れる時にヨルダンの水きれ止まれりこの故にこれらの石を永くイスラエルの人々の記念となすべしと
8 The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him, according to the number of the children of Israel, unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them.
イスラエルのひとびとヨシユアの命ぜしごとく然なしヱホバのヨシユアに告げたまひし如くイスラエルの人々の支派の數にしたがひてヨルダンの中より石十二を取あげ之を負わたりてその宿る處にいたり之を其處にすゑたり
9 And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day.
ヨシユアまたヨルダンの中において契約の櫃を舁る祭司等の足を踏立し處に石十二を立たりしが今日までも尚ほ彼處にあり
10 Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan till all things were accomplished which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste and passed over.
櫃を舁る祭司等はヱホバのヨシユアに命じて民に告しめたまひし事の悉く成るまでヨルダンの中に立をれり凡てモーセのヨシユアに命ぜし所に適へり民は急ぎて濟りぬ
11 And when they had all passed over, the ark also of the Lord passed over, and the priests went before the people.
民の悉く濟りつくせるときヱホバの櫃および祭司等は民の觀る前にて濟りたり
12 The children of Ruben also and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasses, went armed before the children of Israel as Moses had commanded them.
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半モーセの之に言たりし如く身をよろひてイスラエルの人々に先だちて濟りゆき
13 And forty thousand fighting men by their troops, and bands, marched through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho.
凡そ四萬人ばかりの者軍の装に身を堅め攻戰はんとてヱホバに先だち濟りてヱリコの平野に至れり
14 In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived.
ヱホバこの日イスラエルの衆人の目の前にてヨシユアを尊くしたまひければ皆モーセを畏れしごとくに彼を畏る其一生の間常に然り
15 And he said to him:
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまひけるは
16 Command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, to come up out of the Jordan.
なんぢ證詞の櫃を舁る祭司等にヨルダンを出きたれと命ぜよ
17 And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan.
ヨシユアすなはち祭司等に命じヨルダンを出きたれと言ければ
18 And when they that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up, and began to tread on the dry ground, the waters returned into the channel, and ran as they were wont before.
ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中より出きたる 祭司等足の蹠を陸地に擧ると斉くヨルダンの水故の處に流れかへりて初のごとくその岸にことごとく溢れぬ
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho.
正月の十日に民ヨルダンを出きたりヱリコの東の境界なるギルガルに營を張り
20 And the twelve stones which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal,
時にヨシユアそのヨルダンより取きたらせし十二の石をギルガルにたて
21 And said to the children of Israel: When your children shall ask their fathers, tomorrow, and shall say to them: What mean these stones?
イスラエルの人々に語りて言ふ後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩その父に問て是らの石は何の意なりやと言ば
22 You shall teach them and say: Israel passed over this Jordan through the dry channel.
その子輩に告しらせて言へ在昔イスラエルこのヨルダンを陸地となして濟りすぎし事あり
23 The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over: As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through:
即ち汝らの神ヱホバ、ヨルダンの水を汝らの前に乾涸して汝らを濟らせたまへり其事は汝らの神ヱホバの我らの前に紅海を乾涸して我らを渡らせたまひし状况の如くなりき
24 That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever.
斯なしたまひしは地の諸の民をしてヱホバの手の力あるを知しめ汝らの神ヱホバを恒に畏れしめんためなり
