Numbers 21
1 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
茲に南の方に住るカナン人アラデ王といふ者イスラエルが間者の道よりして來るといふを聞きイスラエルを攻うちてその中の數人を擄にせり
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said: 'If Thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.'
是においてイスラエル誓願をヱホバに立て言ふ汝もしこの民をわが手に付したまはば我その城邑を盡く滅さんと
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called Hormah.
ヱホバすなはちイスラエルの言を聽いれてカナン人を付したまひければ之とその城邑をことごとく滅せり是をもてその處の名をホルマ(殲滅)と呼なしたり
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient because of the way.
民はホル山より進みゆき紅海の途よりしてエドムを繞り通らんとせしがその途のために民心を苦めたり
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses: 'Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.'
すなはち民神とモーセにむかいて呟きけるは汝等なんぞ我らをエジプトより導きのぼりて曠野に死しめんとするや此には食物も無くまた水も無し我等はこの粗き食物を心に厭ふなりと
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
是をもてヱバホ火の蛇を民の中に遣して民を咬しめたまひければイスラエルの民の中死る者多かりき
7 And the people came to Moses, and said: 'We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that He take away the serpents from us.' And Moses prayed for the people.
是によりて民モーセにいたりて言けるは我らヱホバと汝にむかひて呟きて罪を獲たり請ふ汝ヱホバに祈りて蛇を我等より取はなさしめよとモーセすなはち民のために祈ければ
8 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.'
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝蛇を作りてこれを杆の上に載おくべし凡て咬れたる者は之を仰ぎ觀なば生べし
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
モーセすなはち銅をもて一條の蛇をつくり之を杆の上に載おけり凡て蛇に咬れたる者その銅の蛇を仰ぎ觀ば生たり
10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth.
イスラエルの子孫途に進みてオボテに營を張り
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is in front of Moab, toward the sun-rising.
またオボテより進み往きモアブの東の方に亘るところの曠野においてイヱアバリムに營を張り
12 From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of Zered.
また其處より進みゆきてゼレデの谷に營を張り
13 From thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites. — For Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites;
其處より進みゆきてアルノンの彼旁に營を張りアルノンはアモリの境より出て曠野に流るる者にてモアブとアモリの間にありてモアブの界をなすなり
14 wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,
故にヱホバの戰爭の記に言るあり云くスパのワヘブ、アルノンの河
15 And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab. —
河の流即ちアルの邑に落下りモアブの界に倚る者と
16 And from thence to Beer; that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'
かれら其處よりベエル(井)にいたれりヱホバがモーセにむかひて汝民を集めよ我これに水を與へんと言たまひしはこの井なりき
17 Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well — sing ye unto it —
時にイスラエルこの歌を歌へり云く井の水よ湧あがれ汝等これがために歌へよ
18 The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness to Mattanah;
此井は笏と杖とをもて牧伯等これを掘り民の君長等之を掘りと斯て曠野よりマツタナにいたり
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
マツタナよりナハリエルにいたりナハリエルよりバモテにいたり
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
バモテよりモアブの野にある谷に往き曠野に對するピスガの嶺にいたれり
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying:
かくてイスラエル使者をアモリ人の王シホンに遣して言しめけるは
22 'Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells; we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed thy border.'
我をして汝の國を通過しめよ我等は田畝にも葡萄園にも入じまた井の水をも飮じ我らは汝の境を出るまでは唯王の道を通りて行んのみと
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
然るにシホンはイスラエルに自己の境の中を通る事を容さざりき而してシホンその民をことごとく集め曠野にいでてイスラエルを攻んとしヤハヅに來りてイスラエルと戰ひけるが
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
イスラエル刄をもて之を撃やぶりその地をアルノンよりヤボクまで奪ひ取りアンモンの子孫にまで至れりアンモンの子孫の境界は堅固なりき
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
イスラエルかくその城邑を盡く取り而してイスラエルはアモリ人の諸の城邑に住みヘシボンとそれに附る諸の村々に居る
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
ヘシボンはアモリ人の王シホンの都城なりシホンは曾てモアブの前の王と戰ひてかれの地をアルノンまで盡くその手より奪ひ取しなり
27 Wherefore they that speak in parables say: Come ye to Heshbon! let the city of Sihon be built and established!
故に歌をもて云るあり曰く汝らヘシボンに來れシホンの城邑を築き建よ
28 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it hath devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
ヘシボンより火出でシホンの都城より熖いでてモアブのアルを焚つくしアルノンの邊の高處を占る君王等を滅ぼせり
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh; he hath given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
モアブよ汝は禍なる哉ケモシの民よ汝は滅ぼさるその男子は逃奔りその女子はアモリ人の王シホンに擄らるるなり
30 We have shot at them — Heshbon is perished — even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
我等は彼らを撃たふしヘシボンを滅ぼしてデボンに及び之を荒してまたノパに及びメデバにいたる
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
斯イスラエルの子孫はアモリ人の地に住たりしが
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
モーセまた人を遣はしてヤゼルを窺はしめ遂にその村々を取て其處にをりしアモリ人を逐出し
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
轉てバシヤンの路に上り往きけるにバシヤンの王オグその民を盡く率ゐて出で之を迎へてエデレイに戰はんとす
34 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Fear him not; for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.'
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは彼を懼るる勿れ我かれとその民とその地を盡く汝の手に付す汝ヘシボンに住をりしアモリ人の王シホンに爲たるごとくに彼にも爲べしと
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining; and they possessed his land.
是において彼とその子とその民をことごとく撃ころし一人も生存る者なきに至らしめて之が地を奪ひたり
