Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために此に七個の壇を築き此に七匹の牡牛と七匹の牡羊を備へよと
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しバラクとバラムその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたり
3 And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me; and whatsoever He showeth me I will tell thee.' And he went to a bare height.
而してバラムはバラクにむかひ汝は燔祭の傍に立をれ我は往んとすヱホバあるひは我に來りのぞみたまはんその我に示したまふところの事は凡てこれを汝に告んと言て一の高處に登たるに
4 And God met Balaam; and he said unto Him: 'I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.'
神バラムに臨みたまひければバラムこれに言けるは我は七箇の壇を設けその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたりと
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.'
ヱホバ、バラムの口に言を授けて言たまはく汝バラクの許に歸りて斯いふべしと
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
彼すなはちバラクの許に至るにバラクはモアブの諸の牧伯等とともに燔祭の傍に立をる
7 And he took up his parable, and said: From Aram Balak bringeth me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: 'Come, curse me Jacob, and come, execrate Israel.'
バラムすなはちこの歌をのべて云くモアブの王バラク、スリアより我を招き寄せ東の邦の山より我を招き寄て云ふ來りて我ためにヤコブを詛へ來りてわがためにイスラエルを呪れと
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I execrate, whom the LORD hath not execrated?
神の詛はざる者を我いかで詛ふことを得んやヱホバの呪らざる者を我いかで呪ることを得んや
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
磐の頂より我これを觀岡の上より我これを望むこの民は獨り離れて居ん萬の民の中に列ぶことなからん
10 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob, or numbered the stock of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let mine end be like his!
誰かヤコブの塵を計へ得んやイスラエルの四分一を數ふることを能せんや願くは義人のごとくに我死ん願くはわが終これが終にひとしかれ
11 And Balak said unto Balaam: 'What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.'
是においてバラク、バラムに言けるは汝我に何を爲や我はわが敵を詛はしめんとて汝を携きたりしなるに汝はかへつて全くこれを祝せり
12 And he answered and said: 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?'
バラムこたへて言けるは我は愼みてヱホバの我口に授る事のみを宣べきにあらずや
13 And Balak said unto him: 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.'
バラクこれに言けるは請ふ汝われとともに他の處に來りて其處より彼らを觀よ汝ただ彼らの極端のみを觀ん彼らを全くは觀ことを得ざるべし請ふ其處にて我ために彼らを詛へと
14 And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
やがて之を導きてピスガの嶺なる斥候の原に至り七箇の壇を築きて壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
15 And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.'
時にバラム、バラクに言けるは汝此にて燔祭の傍に立をれ我またも往て會見ゆることをせんと
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.'
ヱホバまたバラムに臨みて言をその口に授け汝バラクの許に歸りてかく言へとのたまひければ
17 And he came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him: 'What hath the LORD spoken?'
彼バラクの許にかへりけるにバラクは燔祭の傍に立をりモアブの牧伯等これとともに居りしがバラクすなはちバラムにむかひヱホバ何と言しやと問ければ
18 And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor:
バラムまたこの歌を宣たり云くバラクよ起て聽けチッポルの子よ我に耳を傾けよ
19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?
神は人のごとく謊ること无しまた人の子のごとく悔ること有ずその言ところは之を行はざらんやその語るところは之を成就ざらんや
20 Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back.
我はこれがために福祉をいのれとの命令を受く旣に之に福祉をたまへば我これを變るあたはざるなり
21 None hath beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the shouting for the King is among them.
ヱホバ、ヤコブの中に惡き事あるを見ずイスラエルの中に憂患あるを見ずその神ヱホバこれとともに在し王を喜びて呼はる聲その中にあり
22 God who brought them forth out of Egypt is for them like the lofty horns of the wild-ox.
神かれらをエジプトより導き出したまふイスラエルは強きこと兕のごとし
23 For there is no enchantment with Jacob, neither is there any divination with Israel; now is it said of Jacob and of Israel: 'What hath God wrought!'
ヤコブには魔術なしイスラエルには占卜あらず神はその爲ところをその時にヤコブに告げイスラエルにしめしたまふなり
24 Behold a people that riseth up as a lioness, and as a lion doth he lift himself up; he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
觀よこの民は牝獅子のごとくに起あがり牡獅子のごとくに身を興さん是はその攫得たる物を食ひその殺しし物の血を飮では臥ことを爲じ
25 And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.'
是においてバラクはバラムに向ひ汝かれらを詛ふことをも祝することをも爲なかれと言けるに
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak: 'Told not I thee, saying: All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?'
バラムこたへてバラクに言ふ我はヱホバの宣まふ事は凡てこれを爲ざるを得ずと汝に告おきしにあらずやと
27 And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.'
バラクまたバラムに言けるは請ふ來れ我なんぢを他の處に導き往ん神あるひは汝が其處より彼らを我ために詛ふことを善とせんと
28 And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
バラクすなはちバラムを導きて曠野に對するペオルの嶺に至るに
29 And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために七箇の壇を此に築き牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を此に備へよと
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
