< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 “When your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, and He has cast out many nations from your presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than you,
汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲べきところの地に汝を導きいり多の國々の民ヘテ人ギルガシ人アモリ人カナン人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人など汝よりも數多くして力ある七の民を汝の前より逐はらひたまはん時
2 and your God YHWH has given them before you, then you have struck them—you utterly devote them—you do not make a covenant with them, nor do you favor them.
すなはち汝の神ヱホバかれらを汝に付して汝にこれを撃せたまはん時は汝かれらをことごとく滅すべし彼らと何の契約をもなすべからず彼らを憫むべからず
3 And you do not join in marriage with them; you do not give your daughter to his son, and you do not take his daughter to your son,
また彼らと婚姻をなすべからず汝の女子を彼の男子に與ふべからず彼の女子を汝の男子に娶るべからず
4 for he turns aside your son from after Me, and they have served other gods; and the anger of YHWH has burned against you and has destroyed you quickly.
其は彼ら汝の男子を惑はして我を離れしめ之をして他の神々に事へしむるありてヱホバこれがために汝らにむかひて怒を發し俄然に汝を滅したまふにいたるべければなり
5 But thus you do to them: you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down their Asherim, and you burn their carved images with fire.
汝らは反て斯かれらに行ふべし即ちかれらの壇を毀ちその偶像を打擢きそのアシラ像を斫たふし火をもてその雕像を焚べし
6 For you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH; your God YHWH has fixed on you, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
其は汝は汝の神ヱホバの聖民なればなり汝の神ヱホバは地の面の諸の民の中より汝を擇びて己の寶の民となしたまへり
7 YHWH has delighted in you and fixes on you, not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples, for you [are] the least of all the peoples,
ヱホバの汝らを愛し汝らを擇びたまひしは汝らが萬の民よりも數多かりしに因にあらず汝らは萬の民の中にて最も小き者なればなり
8 but because of YHWH’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He has sworn to your fathers; YHWH has brought you out by a strong hand, and ransoms you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
但ヱホバ汝らを愛するに因りまた汝らの先祖等に誓し誓を保たんとするに因てヱホバ強き手をもて汝らを導きいだし汝らを其奴隸たりし家よりエジプトの王パロの手より贖ひいだしたまへるなり
9 And you have known that He, your God YHWH, [is] God, the faithful God keeping the covenant and the kindness with those loving Him and with those keeping His commands, for one thousand generations,
汝知べし汝の神ヱホバは神にましまし眞實の神にましまして之を愛しその誡命を守る者には契約を保ち恩惠をほどこして千代にいたり
10 and repaying to those hating Him to their face, to destroy them; He does not delay to him who is hating Him, He repays [it] to him to his face.
また之を惡む者には覿面にその報をなしてこれを滅ぼしたまふヱホバは己を惡む者には緩ならず覿面にこれに報いたまふなり
11 And you have kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding you today to do them.
然ば汝わが今日汝に命ずるところの誡命と法度と律法とを守りてこれを行ふべし
12 And it has been, because you hear these judgments, and have kept and done them, that your God YHWH has kept the covenant and the kindness with you which He has sworn to your fathers,
汝らもし是らの律法を聽きこれを守り行はば汝の神ヱホバ汝の先祖等に誓ひし契約を保ちて汝に恩惠をほどこしたまはん
13 and has loved you, and blessed you, and multiplied you, and has blessed the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, on the ground which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you.
即ち汝を愛し汝を惠み汝の數を増したまひその昔なんぢに與へんと汝らの先祖等に誓たりし地において汝の兒女をめぐみ汝の地の產物穀物酒油等を殖し汝の牛の產汝の羊の產を増たまふべし
14 Blessed are you above all the peoples; there is not a barren man or a barren woman in you—nor among your livestock;
汝は惠まるること萬の民に愈らん汝らの中および汝らの家畜の中には男も女も子なき者は無るべし
15 and YHWH has turned aside every sickness from you, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which you have known) does He put on you, and He has put them on all hating you.
ヱホバまた諸の疾病を汝の身より除きたまひ汝らが知る彼のエジプトの惡き病を汝の身に臨ましめず但汝を惡む者に之を臨ませたまふべし
16 And you have consumed all the peoples whom your God YHWH is giving to you; your eye has no pity on them, and you do not serve their gods, for it [is] a snare to you.
汝は汝の神ヱホバの汝に付したまはんところの民をことごとく滅しつくすべし彼らを憫み見べからずまた彼らの神に事ふべからずその事汝の罟となればなり
17 When you say in your heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them?
汝是らの民は我よりも衆ければ我いかでか之を逐はらふことを得んと心に謂ふか
18 You are not afraid of them; you surely remember that which your God YHWH has done to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt,
汝かれらを懼るるなかれ汝の神ヱホバがパロとエジプトに爲たまひしところの事を善く憶えよ
19 the great trials which your eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the outstretched arm, with which your God YHWH has brought you out; so does your God YHWH do to all the peoples of whose presence you are afraid.
即ち汝が眼に見たる大なる試煉と徴證と奇蹟と強き手と伸たる腕とを憶えよ汝の神ヱホバこれをもて汝を導き出したまへり是のごとく汝の神ヱホバまた汝が懼るる一切の民に爲たまふべし
20 And your God YHWH also sends the locust among them, until the destruction of those who are left, even those who are hidden from your presence;
即ち汝の神ヱホバ黄蜂を彼らの中に遣りて終に彼らの遺れる者と汝の面を避て匿れたる者とを滅したまはん
21 you are not terrified by their presence, for your God YHWH [is] in your midst, a God great and fearful.
汝かれらを懼るる勿れ其は汝の神ヱホバ能力ある畏るべき神汝らの中にいませばなり
22 And your God YHWH has cast out these nations from your presence little [by] little (you are not able to consume them quickly, lest the beast of the field multiplies against you),
汝の神ヱホバ是等の國人を漸々に汝の前より逐はらひたまはん汝は急速に彼らを滅しつくす可らず恐くは野の獣殖て汝に逼らん
23 and your God YHWH has given them before you, and confused them [with] a great destruction until their being destroyed;
汝の神ヱホバかれらを汝に付し大にこれを惶れ慄かしめて終にこれを滅し盡し
24 and He has given their kings into your hand, and you have destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man stations himself in your presence until you have destroyed them.
彼らの王等を汝の手に付したまはん汝かれらの名を天が下より削るべし汝には當ることを得る者なくして汝つひに之を滅ぼし盡すに至らん
25 You burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you do not desire the silver and gold on them, nor have you taken [it] for yourself, lest you are snared by it, for it [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH;
汝かれらの神の雕像を火にて焚べし之に著せたる銀あるひは金を貧るべからず之を己に取べからず恐くは汝これに因て罟にかからん是は汝の神ヱホバの憎みたまふ者なれば也
26 and you do not bring in an abomination to your house, or you have been devoted like it—you utterly detest it and you utterly abhor it; for it [is] devoted.”
憎むべき物を汝の家に携へいるべからず恐くは汝も其ごとくに詛はるる者とならん汝これを大に忌み痛く嫌ふべし是は詛ふべき者なればなり
