< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 These [are] the words which Moses has spoken to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab.
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 [It takes] eleven days [to go] from Horeb, the way of Mount Seir, to 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 comes to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH has commanded him concerning 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 his striking Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth 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 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses has begun to explain 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 “Our God YHWH has spoken to us in Horeb, saying, For you dwell at this mountain long enough;
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 and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring places in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River;
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 see, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to 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 speak to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you by myself;
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 your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens 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, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as you [are], one thousand times, and blesses you as He has spoken to 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 do I bear your pressure, and your burden, and your strife by myself?
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 Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
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 you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good 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 And I take the heads of your tribes, wise men that are known, and I appoint them [as] heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities for 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 command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
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 you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard 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 command you at that time all the things which you 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 we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come to Kadesh-Barnea.
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 say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to 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 see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.
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 you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;
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 thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the 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 turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy 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 take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to 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 And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,
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 murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—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 to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim 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 And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor 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 your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with 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 you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to 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 And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,
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 is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you 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 hears the voice of your words, and is angry, and swears, 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 Not one of these men of this evil generation sees the good land which I have sworn to give to 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 except Caleb son of Jephunneh—he sees it, and to him I give the land on which he has trodden, and to his sons, because that he has been fully after 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 Moreover, YHWH has been angry with me for your sake, saying, Indeed, you do not go in there;
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 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before you, he goes in there; strengthen him, for he causes 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 And your infants, of whom you have said, They are for a prey, and your sons who today have not known good and evil, they go in there, and I give it to them, and they 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 you, turn and journey for yourselves toward the wilderness, 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 And you answer and say to me, We have sinned against YHWH; we go up and we have fought, according to all that which our God YHWH has commanded us; and you each gird on his weapons of war, and you are ready to go up into the hill-country;
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 says to me, Say to them, You do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and you are not struck 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 And I speak to you, and you have not listened, and provoke the mouth of YHWH, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
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 Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country comes out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and strike you in Seir, even to 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 you return and weep before YHWH, and YHWH has not listened to your voice, nor has He given ear to 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 and you dwell in Kadesh [for] many days, according to the days which you had dwelt.”
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
