Deuteronomy 19
1 “When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
汝の神ヱホバこの國々の民を滅し絶ち汝の神ヱホバこれが地を汝に賜ふて汝つひにこれを獲その邑々とその家々に住にいたる時は
2 you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の中に三の邑を汝のために區別べし
3 You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
而して汝これに道路を開きまた汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の全體を三の區に分ち凡て人を殺せる者をして其處に逃れしむべし
4 And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
人を殺せる者の彼處に逃れて生命を全うすべきその事は是のごとし即ち凡て素より惡むことも無く知ずしてその鄰人を殺せる者
5 even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
例ば人木を伐んとてその鄰人とともに林に入り手に斧を執て木を斫んと撃おろす時にその頭の鐵柯より脱てその鄰人にあたりて之を死しめたるが如き是なり斯る人は是等の邑の一に逃れて生命を全うすべし
6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
恐くは復仇する者心熱してその殺人者を追かけ道路長きにおいては遂に追しきて之を殺さん然るにその人は素より之を惡みたる者にあらざれば殺さるべき理あらざるなり
7 therefore I am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
是をもて我なんぢに命じて三の邑を汝のために區別べしと言り
8 And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
汝の神ヱホバ汝の先祖等に誓ひしごとく汝の境界を廣め汝の先祖等に與へんと言し地を盡く汝に賜ふにいたらん時
9 when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself to these three;
即ち汝我が今日なんぢに命ずるこの一切の誡命を守りてこれを行なひ汝の神ヱホバを愛し恒にその道に歩まん時はこの三の外にまた三の邑を増加ふべし
10 and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
是汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地に辜なき者の血を流すこと無らんためなり斯せずばその血汝に歸せん
11 And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
然どもし人その隣人を惡みて之を附覘ひ起かかり撃てその生命を傷ひて之を死しめ而してこの邑の一に逃れたる事あらば
12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
その邑の長老等人を遣て之を其處より曳きたらしめ復仇者の手にこれを付して殺さしむべし
13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
汝かれを憫み視るべからず辜なき者の血を流せる咎をイスラエルより除くべし然せば汝に福祉あらん
14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふ地の中において汝が嗣ぐところの產業に汝の先人の定めたる汝の鄰の地界を侵すべからず
15 One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.
何の惡にもあれ凡てその犯すところの罪は只一人の證人によりて定むべからず二人の證人の口によりまたは三人の證人の口によりてその事を定むべし
16 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
もし偽妄の證人起りて某の人は惡事をなせりと言たつること有ば
17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
その相爭ふ二人の者ヱホバの前に至り當時の祭司と士師の前に立べし
18 and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
然る時士師詳細にこれを査べ視るにその證人もし偽妄の證人にしてその兄弟にむかひて虚妄の證をなしたる者なる時は
19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
汝兄弟に彼が蒙らさんと謀れる所を彼に蒙らし斯して汝らの中より惡事を除くべし
20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
然せばその遺れる者等聞て畏れその後かさねて斯る惡き事を汝らの中におこなはじ
21 And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
汝憫み視ることをすべからず生命は生命眼は眼歯は歯手は手足は足をもて償はしむべし
