Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathers all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and calls for [the] elderly of Israel, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and they station themselves before God.
茲にヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の支派をシケムに集めイスラエルの長老首領裁判人官吏などを招きよせて諸共に神の前に進みいで
2 And Joshua says to all the people, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Beyond the River your fathers have dwelt of old—Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor—and they serve other gods;
而してヨシユアすべての民に言けるはイスラヱルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝らの遠祖すなはちアブラハムの父たりナホルの父たりしテラのごときは在昔河の彼旁に住て皆他神に事へたりしが
3 and I take your father Abraham from beyond the River, and cause him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiply his seed, and give Isaac to him.
我なんぢらの先祖アブラハムを河の彼旁より携へ出してカナンの全地を導きてすぎその子孫を増んとして之にイサクを與へたり
4 And I give Jacob and Esau to Isaac; and I give Mount Seir to Esau, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons have gone down to Egypt.
而してイサクにヤコブとエサウを與へエサウにセイル山を與へて獲させたりまたヤコブとその子等はエジプトに下れり
5 And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have done in its midst, and afterward I have brought you out.
我モーセおよびアロンを遣はしまた災禍をエジプトに降せり我がその中に爲たる所の事のごとし而して後われ汝らを導びき出せり
6 And I bring out your fathers from Egypt, and you go to the sea, and the Egyptians pursue after your fathers, with chariot and with horsemen, to the Red Sea;
我なんぢらの父をエジプト入り導き出し汝ら海に至りしにエジプト人戰車と騎兵とをもて汝らの後を追て紅海に來りけるが
7 and they cry to YHWH, and He sets thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brings the sea over him, and covers them, and your eyes see that which I have done in Egypt; and you dwell in a wilderness [for] many days.
汝らの父等ヱホバに呼はりければヱホバ黑暗を汝らとエジプト人との間に置き海を彼らの上に傾むけて彼らを淹へり汝らは我がエジプトにて爲たる事を目に觀たり斯て汝らは日ひさしく曠野に住をれり
8 And I bring you into the land of the Amorite who is dwelling beyond the Jordan, and they fight with you, and I give them into your hand, and you possess their land, and I destroy them out of your presence.
我またヨルダンの彼旁にすめるアモリ人の地に汝らを携へいれたり彼ら汝らと戰ひければ我かれらを汝らの手に付しかれらの地をなんぢらに獲しめ彼らを汝らの前より滅ぼし去り
9 And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, rises and fights against Israel, and sends and calls for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,
時にモアブの王チツポルの子バラク起てイスラエルに敵し人を遣はしてペオルの子バラムを招きて汝らを詛はせんとしたりしが
10 and I have not been willing to listen to Balaam, and he greatly blesses you, and I deliver you out of his hand.
我バラムに聽ことを爲ざりければ彼かへつて汝らを祝せり斯われ汝らを彼の手より拯出せり
11 And you pass over the Jordan, and come to Jericho, and the possessors of Jericho fight against you—the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—and I give them into your hand.
而して汝らヨルダンを濟りてヱリコに至りしにヱリコの人々すなはちアモリ人ペリジ人カナン人ヘテ人ギルガシ人ヒビ人ヱブス人等なんぢらに敵したりしが我かれらを汝らの手に付せり
12 And I send the hornet before you, and it casts them out from your presence—two kings of the Amorite—not by your sword, nor by your bow.
われ黄蜂を汝らの前に遣はして彼のアモリ人の王二人を汝らの前より逐はらへり汝らの劍または汝らの弓を用ひて斯せしに非ず
13 And I give a land to you for which you have not labored, and cities which you have not built, and you dwell in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted.
而して我なんちらが勞せしに非ざる地を汝らに與へ汝らが建たるに非ざる邑を汝らに與へたり汝らは今その中に住をる汝らは亦己が作りたるに非ざる葡萄園と橄欖園とにつきて食ふ
14 And now, fear YHWH, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve YHWH;
然ば汝らヱホバを畏れ赤心と眞實とをもて之に事へ汝らの先祖が河の彼邊およびエジプトにて事へたる神を除きてヱホバに事へよ
15 and if [it is] wrong in your eyes to serve YHWH—choose for yourselves today whom you serve—whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling; but me and my house—we serve YHWH.”
汝ら若ヱホバに事ふることを惡とせば汝らの先祖が河の彼邊にて事へし神々にもあれ又は汝らが今をる地のアモリ人の神々にもあれ汝らの事ふべき者を今日選べ但し我と我家とは共にヱホバに事へん
16 And the people answer and say, “Far be it from us to forsake YHWH, to serve other gods;
民こたへて言けるはヱホバを棄て他神に事ふることは我等きはめて爲じ
17 for our God YHWH [is] He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who has done these great signs before our eyes, and keeps us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed;
其は我らの神ヱホバみづから我等と我らの先祖とをエジプトの地奴隸の家より導き上りかつ我らの目の前にかの大なる徴を行ひ我らが往し一切の路にて我らを守りまた我らが其中間を通りし一切の民の中にて我らを守りたまひければなり
18 and YHWH casts out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also serve YHWH, for He [is] our God.”
而してヱホバ此地に住をりしアモリ人などいふ一切の民を我らの前より逐はらひたまへり然ば我らもヱホバに事へん彼は我らの神なればなり
19 And Joshua says to the people, “You are not able to serve YHWH, for He [is] a most holy God; He [is] a zealous God; He does not bear with your transgression and with your sins.
ヨシユア民に言けるは汝らはヱホバに事ふること能はざらん其は彼は聖神また妬みたまふ神にして汝らの罪愆を赦したまはざればなり
20 When you forsake YHWH, and have served gods of a stranger, then He has turned back and done harm to you, and consumed you, after that He has done good to you.”
汝ら若ヱホバを棄て他神に事へなば汝らに福祉を降したまへる後にも亦ひるがへりて汝らに災禍を降して汝らを滅ぼしたまはん
21 And the people say to Joshua, “No, but we serve YHWH!”
民ヨシユアに言けるは否我ら必らずヱホバに事ふべしと
22 And Joshua says to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen YHWH for yourselves, to serve Him,” and they say, “Witnesses!”
ヨシユア民に向ひて汝らはヱホバを選びて之に事へんといへりなんぢら自らその證人たりと言ければ皆我らは證人なりと答ふ
23 “And now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart to YHWH, God of Israel.”
ヨシユアまた言り然ば汝らの中にある異なる神を除きてイスラエルの神ヱホバに汝らの心を傾むけよ
24 And the people say to Joshua, “We serve our God YHWH, and we listen to His voice.”
民ヨシユアに言けるは我らの神ヱホバに我らは事へ其聲に我らは聽したがふべしと
25 And Joshua makes a covenant with the people on that day, and lays a statute and an ordinance on it, in Shechem.
ヨシユアすなはち其日民と契約を結びシケムにおいて法度と定規とを彼らのために設けたり
26 And Joshua writes these words in the Scroll of the Law of God, and takes a great stone, and raises it up there under the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of YHWH.
ヨシユアこれらの言を神の律法の書に書しるし大なる石をとり彼處にてヱホバの聖所の傍なる樫の樹の下に之を立て
27 And Joshua says to all the people, “Behold, this stone is for a witness against us, for it has heard all the sayings of YHWH which He has spoken with us, and it has been for a witness against you, lest you lie against your God.”
而してヨシユア一切の民に言けるは視よ此石われらの證となるべし是はヱホバの我らに語りたまひし言をことごとく聞たればなり然ば汝らが己の神を棄ること無らんために此石なんぢらの證となるべしと
28 And Joshua sends the people away, each to his inheritance.
かくてヨシユア民を各々その產業に歸しさらしめたりき
29 And it comes to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
是らの事の後ヱホバの僕ヌンの子ヨシユア百十歳にして死り
30 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Serah, which [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the hill of Gaash.
人衆これをその產業の地の内にてテムナテセラに葬むれりテムナテセラはエフライムの山地にてガアシ山の北にあり
31 And Israel serves YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of the elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, and who knew all the work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
イスラエルはヨシユアの世にある日の間またヱホバがイスラエルのために行ひたまひし諸の事を識ゐてヨシユアの後に生存れる長老等の世にある日の間つねにヱホバに事へたり
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the portion of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem, with one hundred kesitah; and they are for an inheritance to the sons of Joseph.
イスラエルの子孫のエジプトより携さへ上りしヨセフの骨を昔ヤコブが銀百枚をもてシケムの父ハモルの子等より買たりしシケムの中なる一の地に葬れり是はヨセフの子孫の產業となりぬ
33 And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they bury him in a hill of his son Phinehas, which was given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
アロンの子エレアザルもまた死り人衆これを其子ピネハスがエフライムの山地にて受たりし岡に葬れり
