Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which YHWH left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
ヱホバが凡てカナンの諸の戰爭を知ざるイスラエルの者どもをこころみんとて遺しおきたまへる國民は左のごとし
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
〔こはただイスラエルの代々の子孫特にいまだ戰爭を知ざるものにこれををしへ知らしめんがためなり〕
3 Namely, five rulers of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
即ちペリシテ人の五人の伯すべてのカナン人シドン人およびレバノン山に住みてバアルヘルモンの山よりハマテに入るところまでを占めたるヒビ人是なり
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of YHWH, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
これらをもてイスラエルをこころみかれらがヱホバのモーセによりてその先祖に命じたまひし命令に遵ふや否を可知りしなり
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
イスラエルの子孫はカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their elohim.
ペリジ人ヒビ人エブス人のうちに住みかれらの女を妻に娶りまたおのれの女をかれらの子に與へかつかれらの神に事へたり
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of YHWH, and forgat YHWH their Elohim, and served Baalim and the groves.
斯くイスラエルの子孫ヱホバのまへに惡をおこなひ己れの神なるヱホバをわすれてバアリムおよびアシラに事へたり
8 Therefore the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
是においてヱホバはげしくイスラエルを怒りてこれをメソポタミヤの王クシヤンリシヤタイムの手に賣り付したまひしかばイスラエルの子孫はおよそ八年のあひだクシヤンリシヤタイムにつかへたり
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto YHWH, YHWH raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
茲にイスラエルの子孫ヱホバによばはりしかばヱホバはイスラエルの子孫の爲にひとりの救者を起して之を救はしめ給ふすなはちカレブの舍弟ケナズの子オテニエル是なり
10 And the Spirit of YHWH came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and YHWH delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
ヱホバの靈オテニエルにのぞみたれば彼イスラエルを治め戰ひに出づヱホバ、メソポタミヤの王クシヤンリシヤタイムをその手に付したまひたればオテニエルの手クシヤンリシヤタイムに勝ことを得たり
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
かくて國は四十年のあひだ太平なりきケナズの子オテニエルつひに死り
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of YHWH: and YHWH strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of YHWH.
イスラエルの子孫復ヱホバの眼のまへに惡をおこなふヱホバかれらがヱホバのまへに惡をおこなふによりてモアブの王エグロンをつよくなしてイスラエルに敵せしめたまへり
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
エグロンすなはちアンモンおよびアマレクの子孫を招き聚め往きてイスラエルを撃ち椶櫚の邑を取り
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
ここにおいてイスラエルの子孫は十八年のあひだモアブの王エグロンに事へたりしが
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto YHWH, YHWH raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼はりけるときヱホバかれらの爲に一個の救者を起したまふすなはちベニヤミン人ゲラの子なる左手利捷のエホデ是なりイスラエルの子孫かれを以てモアブの王エグロンに餽物せり
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
エホデ長一キユビトなる兩刃の劍を作らせこれを衣のしたに右の股のあたりにおび
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
餽物を齎してモアブの王エグロンのもとに詣るエグロンは甚だ肥たる人なりき
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
さて餽物を獻ぐることをはりしかば彼餽物を負ひ來りしものをかへし去らしめ
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
自らはギルガルの傍なる石像の在る所より引き回していひけるは王よ我爾に告ぐべき密事ありと王人拂を命じたればその旁に立つものみな出で去りぬ
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from Elohim unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
エホデすなはち王のところに入來れり時に王はひとり上なる涼殿に坐し居たりしがエホデ我神の命に由りて爾に傳ふべきことありといひければ王すなはち座より起に
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
エホデ左の手を出し右の股より劍を取りてその腹を刺せり
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
抦もまた刃とともに入りたりしが脂肉刃を塞ぎて之を腹より拔き出すことあたはずその鋒鋩うしろに出づ
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
エホデすなはち廊をとほりてその後に樓の戸を閉てこれを鎖せり
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
その出でしのち王の僕來りて樓の戸の鎖したるを見いひけるは王はかならず涼殿の間に足を蔽ひ居るならんと
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their master was fallen down dead on the earth.
僕ども耻るまでに俟居たれど王樓の戸をひらかざれば鑰をとりて之を開き見るにその君は地に仆れて死をる
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
エホデは彼等の猶豫ふ間に逃れて石像の在るところを過りセイラテに遁げゆけり
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
かれ旣に至りエフライムの山に箛を吹きければイスラエルの子孫これとともに山より下るエホデこれを導けり
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for YHWH hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
かれ人衆にいひけるは我に續て來れヱホバ汝等の敵モアブ人を汝等の手に付したまふなりここにおいてかれらエホデにしたがひて下りモアブにおもむくところのヨルダンの津を取りて一人も渡ることを允さざりき
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
そのとき彼らモアブ人およそ一萬人を殺せり是皆肥太たる勇士なりそのうち一人も脱れたるものなし
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
モアブはその日イスラエルの手に服せり而して國は八十年の間太平なりき
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
エホデの後にアナテの子シヤムガルといふものあり牛の策を以てペリシテ人六百人を殺せり此人もまたイスラエルを救へり
