Deuteronomy 32
1 Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
天よ耳を傾むけよ我語らん地よ吾口の言を聽け
2 May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
わが敎は雨の降るがごとし吾言は露のおくがごとく靀の若艸の上にふるごとく細雨の靑艸の上にくだるが如し
3 I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
我はヱホバの御名を頌揚ん我らの神に汝ら榮光を歸せよ
4 He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
ヱホバは磐にましましてその御行爲は完くその道はみな正しまた眞實ある神にましまして惡きところ無し只正くして直くいます
5 His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
彼らはヱホバにむかひて惡き事をおこなふ者にてその子にはあらず只これが玷となるのみ其人と爲は邪僻にして曲れり
6 Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
愚にして智慧なき民よ汝らがヱホバに報ゆること是のごとくなるかヱホバは汝の父にして汝を贖ひまた汝を造り汝を建たまはずや
7 Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
昔の日を憶え過にし世代の年を念へよ汝の父に問べし彼汝に示さん汝の中の年老に問べし彼ら汝に語らん
8 The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
至高者人の子を四方に散して萬の民にその產業を分ちイスラエルの子孫の數に照して諸の民の境界を定めたまへり
9 But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
ヱホバの分はその民にしてヤユブはその產業たり
10 He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
ヱホバこれを荒野の地に見これに獣の吼る曠野に遇ひ環りかこみて之をいたはり眼の珠のごとくにこれを護りたまへり
11 Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
鵰のその巣雛を喚起しその子の上に翺翔ごとくヱホバその羽を展て彼らを載せその翼をもてこれを負たまへり
12 The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
ヱホバは只独にてかれを導きたまへり別神はこれとともならざりき
13 The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
ヱホバかれに地の高處を乗とほらせ田園の產物を食はせ石の中より蜜を吸しめ磐の中より油を吸しめ
14 with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
牛の乳 羊の乳 羔羊の脂 バシヤンより出る牡羊 牡山羊および小麥の最も佳き者をこれに食はせたまひき汝はまた葡萄の汁の紅き酒を飮り
15 But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
然るにヱシユルンは肥て踢ことを爲す汝は肥太りて大きくなり己を造りし神を棄て己が救拯の磐を軽んず
16 You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
彼らは別神をもて之が嫉妬をおこし憎むべき者をもて之が震怒を惹く
17 You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
彼らが犠牲をささぐる者は鬼にして神にあらず彼らが識ざりし鬼神近頃新に出たる者汝らの遠つ親の畏まざりし者なり
18 You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
汝を生し磐をば汝これを棄て汝を造りし神をば汝これを忘る
19 The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
ヱホバこれを見その男子女子を怒りてこれを棄たまふ
20 He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
すなはち曰たまはく我わが面をかれらに隱さん我かれらの終を觀ん彼らはみな背き悖る類の者眞實あらざる子等なり
21 They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
彼らは神ならぬ者をもて我に嫉妬を起させ虚き者をもて我を怒らせたれば我も民ならぬ者をもて彼らに嫉妬を起させ愚なる民をもて彼らを怒らせん
22 My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
即ちわが震怒によりて火燃いで深き陰府に燃いたりまた地とその產物とを燒つくし山々の基をもやさん (Sheol h7585)
23 I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
我禍災をかれらの上に積かさね吾矢をかれらにむかひて射つくさん
24 They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
彼らは饑て痩おとろへ熱の病患と惡き疫とによりて滅びん我またかれらをして獣の歯にかからしめ地に匍ふ者の毒にあたらしめん
25 Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
外には劒内には恐惶ありて少き男をも少き女をも幼兒をも白髮の人をも滅ぼさん
26 I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
我は曰ふ我彼等を吹掃ひ彼らの事をして世の中に記憶らるること無らしめんと
27 but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
然れども我は敵人の怒を恐る即ち敵人どれを見あやまりて言ん我らの手能くこれを爲り是はすべてヱホバの爲るにあらずと
28 Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
彼らはまつたく智慧なき民なりその中には知識ある者なし
29 How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
嗚呼彼らもし智慧あらば之を了りてその身の終を思慮らんものを
30 How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
彼らの磐これを賣ずヱホバごれを付さずば爭か一人にて千人を逐ひ二人にて萬人を敗ることを得ん
31 The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
彼らの磐は我らの磐にしかず我らの敵たる者等も然認めたり
32 But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
彼らの葡萄の樹はソドムの葡萄の樹またゴモラの野より出たる者その葡萄は毒葡萄その球は苦し
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
その葡萄酒は蛇の毒のごとく蝮の惡き毒のごとし
34 I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
是は我の許に蓄へあり我の庫に封じこめ有にあらずや
35 I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
彼らの足の躚かん時に我仇をかへし應報をなさんその災禍の日は近く其がために備へられたる事は迅速にいたる
36 The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
ヱホバつひにその民を鞫きまたその僕に憐憫をくはへたまはん其は彼らの力のすでに去うせて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者もあらずなれるを見たまへばなり
37 He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
ヱホバ言たまはん彼らの神々は何處にをるや彼らが賴める磐は何處ぞや
38 Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
即ちその犠牲の膏油を食ひその灌祭の酒を飮たる者は何處にをるや其等をして起て汝らを助けしめ汝らを護しめよ
39 Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
汝ら今觀よ我こそは彼なり我の外には神なし殺すこと活すこと撃こと愈すことは凡て我是を爲す我手より救ひ出すことを得る者あらず
40 I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
我天にむかひて手をあげて言ふ我は永遠に活く
41 when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
我わが閃爍く刃を磨ぎ審判をわが手に握る時はかならず仇をわが敵にかへし我を惡む者に返報をなさん
42 My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
我わが箭をして血に酔しめ吾劍をして肉を食しめん即ち殺るる者と擄らるる者の血を之に飮せ敵の髮おほき首の肉をこれに食はせん
43 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
國々の民よ汝らヱホバの民のために歓悦をなせ其はヱホバその僕の血のために返報をなしその敵に仇をかへしその地とその民の汚穢をのぞきたまへばなり
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
モーセ、ヌンの子ヨシユアとともに到りてこの歌の言をことごとく民に誦きかせたり
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
モーセこの言語をことごとくイスラエルの一切の人に告をはりて
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
これに言けるは我が今日なんぢらに對ひて證するこの一切の言語を汝ら心に蔵め汝らの子等にこの律法の一切の言語を守りおこなふことを命ずべし
47 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
抑この言は汝らには虚しき言にあらず是は汝らの生命なりこの言によりて汝らはそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲ところの地にて汝らの生命を永うすることを得るなり
48 That same day the Lord told Moses,
この日にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
汝ヱリコに對するモアブの地のアバリム山に登りてネボ山にいたり我がイスラエルの子孫にあたへて產業となさしむるカナンの地を觀わたせよ
50 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
汝はその登れる山に死て汝の民に列ならん是汝の兄弟アロンがホル山に死てその民に列りしごとくなるべし
51 For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
是は汝らチンの曠野なるカデシのメリバの水の邊においてイスラエルの子孫の中間にて我に悖りイスラエルの子孫の中に我の聖きことを顯さざりしが故なり
52 Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
然ども汝は我がイスラエルの子孫に與ふる地を汝の前に觀わたすことを得ん但しその地には汝いることを得じ
