Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the 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 the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for 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 Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the 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 commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all 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 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
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 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
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 whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
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 when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
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 he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of 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 rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
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 when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
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 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same 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 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in 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 when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
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 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing 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 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come 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 one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
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 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
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 when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it 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 the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
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 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
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 they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
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 they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
つひにアイの王を生擒てヨシユアの許に曳きたれり
24 So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
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 the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
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 But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
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 And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
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 he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
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 he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present 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 Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
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 the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of 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 upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered 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 the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
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 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook 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 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt 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
