< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
是はモーセがヨルダンの此旁の曠野紅海に對する平野に在てバラン、トベル、ラバン、ハゼロテ、デザハブの間にてイスラエルの一切の人に告たる言語なり
2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh Barnea.)
ホレブよりセイル山の路を經てカデシバルネアに至るには十一日路あり
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that YHWH had given him in commandment unto them;
第四十年の十一月にいたりその月の一日にモーセはイスラエルの子孫にむかひてヱホバが彼等のために自己に授けたまひし命令を悉く告たり
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
是はモーセがヘシボンに住るアモリ人の王シホン及びエデレイのアシタロテに住るバシヤンの王オグを殺したる後なりき
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
即ちモーセ、ヨルダンの此旁なるモアブの地においてこの律法を解明すことを爲し始めたり曰く
6 YHWH our Elohim spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
我らの神ヱホバ、ホレブにて我らに告て言たまへり汝らはこの山に居こと日すでに久し
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
汝ら身を轉らして途に進みアモリ人の山に往き其に鄰れる處々に往き平野山地窪地南の地海邊カナン人の地レバノンおよび大河ユフラテ河に至れ
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which YHWH sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
我この地を汝らの前に置り入てこの地を獲よ是はヱホバが汝らの先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひて之を彼らとその後の子孫に與へんと言たまひし者なりと
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
彼時我なんぢらに語りて言り我は一人にては汝らをわが任として負ことあたはず
10 YHWH your Elohim hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
汝らの神ヱホバ汝らを衆多ならしめたまひたれば汝ら今日は天空の星のごとくに衆し
11 ( YHWH Elohim of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
願くは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバ汝らをして今あるよりは千倍も多くならしめ又なんぢらに約束せしごとく汝らを祝福たまはんことを
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
我一人にては爭で汝らを吾任となしまた汝らの重負と汝らの爭競に當ることを得んや
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
汝らの支派の中より智慧あり知識ありて人に識れたる人々を簡べ我これを汝らの首長となさんと
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
時に汝ら答へて言り汝が言ところの事を爲は善しと
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
是をもて我汝らの支派の首長なる智慧ありて人に知れたる者等を取て汝らの首長となせり即ち之をもて千人の長百人の長五十人の長十人の長となしまた汝らの支派の中の官吏となせり
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
また彼時に我汝らの士師等に命じて言り汝らその兄弟の中の訴訟を聽き此人と彼人の間を正く審判くべし他國の人においても然り
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is Elohim's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
汝ら人を視て審判すべからず小き者にも大なる者にも聽べし人の面を懼るべからず審判は神の事なればなり汝らにおいて斷定がたき事は我に持きたれ我これを聽ん
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
我かの時に汝らの爲べき事をことごとく汝らに命じたりき
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as YHWH our Elohim commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
我等の神ヱホバの我等に命じたまひしごとくに我等はホレブより出たち汝らが見知るかの大なる畏しき曠野を通りアモリ人の山を指てガデシバルネアに至れり
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which YHWH our Elohim doth give unto us.
時に我なんぢらに言り汝らは我らの神ヱホバの我らに與へたまへるアモリ人の山に至れり
21 Behold, YHWH thy Elohim hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as YHWH Elohim of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
視よ汝の神ヱホバこの地を汝の前に置たまふ汝の先祖の神ヱホバの汝に言たまふごとく上り往てこれを獲よ懼るるなかれ猶豫なかれと
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
汝らみな我に近りて言り我等人を我らの先に遣してその地を伺察しめ彼らをして返て何の途より上るべきか何の邑々に入べきかを我らに告しめんと
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
この言わが目に善と見ければ我汝らの中より十二人の者を取り即ち一の支派より一人宛なりき
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
彼等前みゆきて山に登りエシコルの谷にいたり之を伺ひ
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which YHWH our Elohim doth give us.
その地の菓物を手に取てわれらの許に持くだり我らに復命して言り我等の神ヱホバの我等に與へたまへる地は善地なりと
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH your Elohim:
然るに汝等は上り往ことを好まずして汝らの神ヱホバの命令に背けり
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because YHWH hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
すなはち汝らその天幕にて呟きて言りヱホバわれらを惡むが故に我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅ぼさんとてエジプトの國より我らを導き出せり
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
我等は何方に往べきや我らの兄弟等は言ふその民は我らよりも大にして身長たかく邑々は大にしてその石垣は天に達る我らまたアナクの子孫を其處に見たりと斯いひて我らの氣を挫けりと
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
時に我なんぢらに言り怖る勿れ懼るるなかれ
30 YHWH your Elohim which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
汝らに先ち行たまふ汝らの神ヱホバ、エジプトにおいて汝らの爲に汝らの目の前にて諸の事をなしたまひし如く今また汝らのために戰ひたまはん
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that YHWH thy Elohim bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
曠野においては汝また汝の神ヱホバが人のその子を抱くが如くに汝を抱きたまひしを見たり汝らが此處にいたるまでその路すがら常に然ありしなりと
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe YHWH your Elohim,
この言をなせども汝らはなほその神ヱホバを信ぜざりき
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
ヱホバは途にありては汝らに先ちゆきて汝らが營を張べき處を尋ね夜は火の中にあり晝は雲の中にありて汝らの行べき途を示したまへる者なり
34 And YHWH heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
ヱホバ汝らの言語の聲を聞て怒り誓て言たまひけらく
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
この惡き代の人々の中には我が汝らの先祖等に與へんと誓ひしかの善地を見る者一人も有ざるべし
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed YHWH.
只ヱフンネの子カルブのみ之を見ることを得ん彼が踐たりし地をもて我かれとかれの子孫に與ふべし其は彼まったくヱホバに從ひたればなり
37 Also YHWH was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
ヱホバまた汝らの故をもて我をも怒て言たまへり汝もまた彼處に入ことを得ず
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
汝の前に侍るヌンの子ヨシユアかしこに入べし彼に力をつけよ彼イスラエルをして之を獲しむべし
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
また汝等が掠められんと言たりしその汝らの子女および當日になほ善惡を辨へざりし汝らの幼兒等彼ら即ちかしこに入べし我これを彼らに與へて獲さすべし
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
汝らは身をめぐらし紅海の途より曠野に進みいるべしと
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against YHWH, we will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH our Elohim commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
然るに汝ら對て我にいへり我等はヱホバにむかひて罪を犯せり然ばわれらの神ヱホバの凡て我らに命じたまへるがごとく我ら上りゆきて戰はんと汝らおのおの武器を身に帶て軽々しく山に登らんとせり
42 And YHWH said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
時にヱホバわれに言たまひけるは汝かれらに言へ汝ら上りゆくなかれ又戰ふなかれ我なんぢらの中間に居ざればなり汝ら恐らくはその敵に打敗られんと
43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
われかく汝らに告たるに汝ら聽ずしてヱホバの命令に背き自檀に山に登りたりしが
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
その山に住るアモリ人汝等にむかひて出きたり蜂の驅がごとくに汝らを驅ちらしなんぢらをセイルに打敗りてホルマにおよべり
45 And ye returned and wept before YHWH; but YHWH would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
斯りしかばなんぢら還りきたりてヱホバの前に哭きたりしがヱホバなんぢらの聲を聽たまはず汝らに耳を傾むけたまはざりき
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
是をもてなんぢらは日久しくカデシに居りなんぢらが其處に居たる日數のごとし
