Judges 11
1 And Jephthah the Gileadite has been a mighty man of valor, and he [is the] son of a harlot woman; and Gilead begets Jephthah,
ギレアデ人ヱフタはたけき勇士にして妓婦の子なりギレアデ、ヱフタをうましめしなり
2 and the wife of Gilead bears sons to him, and the wife’s sons grow up and cast Jephthah out, and say to him, “You do not inherit in the house of our father; for you [are the] son of another woman.”
ギレアデの妻子等をうみしが妻の子等成長におよびてヱフタをおひいだしてこれにいひけるは汝は他の婦の子なればわれらが父の家を嗣べきにあらずと
3 And Jephthah flees from the face of his brothers, and dwells in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves together to Jephthah, and they go out with him.
ヱフタ其の兄弟の許より逃さりてトブの地に住けるに遊蕩者ヱフタのもとに集ひ來りて之とともに出ることをなせり
4 And it comes to pass, after a time, that the sons of Ammon fight with Israel,
程經てのちアンモンの子孫イスラエルとたたかふに至りしが
5 and it comes to pass, when the sons of Ammon have fought with Israel, that [the] elderly of Gilead go to take Jephthah from the land of Tob;
アンモンの子孫のイスラエルとたたかへるときにギレアデの長老等ゆきてヱフタをトブの地より携來らんとし
6 and they say to Jephthah, “Come, and you have been for a captain to us, and we fight against the sons of Ammon.”
ヱフタにいひけるは汝來りて吾らの大將となれ我らアンモンの子孫とたたかはん
7 And Jephthah says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “Have you not hated me? And you cast me out from the house of my father, and why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”
ヱフタ、ギレアデの長老等にいひけるは汝らは我を惡みてわが父の家より逐いだしたるにあらずやしかるに今汝らが艱める時に至りて何ぞ我に來るや
8 And [the] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “Therefore, now, we have turned back to you; and you have gone with us, and have fought against the sons of Ammon, and you have been for head to us—to all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
ギレアデの長老等ヱフタにこたへけるは其がために我ら今汝にかへる汝われらとともにゆきてアンモンの子孫とたたかはばすべて我等ギレアデにすめるものの首領となすべしと
9 And Jephthah says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “If you are taking me back to fight against the sons of Ammon, and YHWH has given them before me—am I for a head to you?”
ヱフタ、ギレアデの長老等にいひけるは汝らもし我をたづさへかへりてアンモンの子孫とたたかはしめんにヱホバ之を我に付したまはば我は汝らの首となるべし
10 And [the] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “YHWH is listening between us—if we do not do so according to your word.”
ギレアデの長老等ヱフタにいひけるはヱホバ汝と我との間の證者たり我ら誓つて汝の言のごとくになすべし
11 And Jephthah goes with [the] elderly of Gilead, and the people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah speaks all his words before YHWH in Mizpeh.
是に於てヱフタ、ギレアデの長老等とともに往くに民之を立ておのれの首領となし大將となせりヱフタ即ちミヅパにおいてヱホバのまへにこの言をことごとく陳たり
12 And Jephthah sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, “What [is this] to me and to you, that you have come to me, to fight in my land?”
かくてヱフタ、アンモンの子孫の王に使者をつかはしていひけるは汝と我の間に何事ありてか汝われに攻めきたりてわが地に戰はんとする
13 And the king of the sons of Ammon says to the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took my land in his coming up out of Egypt, from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan; and now, restore them in peace.”
アンモンの子孫の王ヱフタの使者に答へけるはむかしイスラエル、エジプトより上りきたりし時にアルノンよりヤボクにいたりヨルダンに至るまで吾が土地を奪ひしが故なり然ば今穩便に之を復すべし
14 And Jephthah adds yet and sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon,
ヱフタまた使者をアンモンの子孫の王に遣りて之にいはせけるは
15 and says to him, “Thus said Jephthah: Israel did not take the land of Moab, and the land of the sons of Ammon,
ヱフタ斯いへりイスラエルはモアブの地を取ずまたアンモンの子孫の地をも取ざりしなり
16 for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goes in the wilderness to the Red Sea, and comes to Kadesh,
夫イスラエルはエジプトより上りきたれる時に曠野を經て紅海に到りカデシに來れり
17 and Israel sends messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass over through your land, and the king of Edom did not listen; and [Israel] has also sent to the king of Moab, and he has not been willing; and Israel abides in Kadesh,
而してイスラエル使者をエドムの王に遣して言けるはねがはくは我をして汝の土地を經過しめよと然るにエドムの王之をうけがはずまたおなじく人をモアブの王に遣したれども是もうべなはざりしかばイスラエルはカデシに留まりしが
18 and he goes through the wilderness, and goes around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and comes in at the rising of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon, and have not come into the border of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
遂にイスラエル曠野を經てエドムの地およびモアブの地を繞りモアブの地の東の方に出てアルノンの彼方に陣を取り然どモアブの界には入らざりきアルノンはモアブの界なればなり
19 And Israel sends messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel says to him, Please let us pass over through your land, to my place,
かくてイスラエル、ヘシボンに王たりしアモリ人の王シホンに使者を遣せりすなはちイスラエル之にいひけらくねがはくは我らをして汝の土地を經過てわがところにいたらしめよと
20 and Sihon has not trusted Israel to pass over through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and they encamp in Jahaz, and fight with Israel;
然るにシホン、イスラエルを信ぜずしてその界をとほらしめずかへつてそのすべての民を集めてヤハヅに陣しイスラエルとたたかひしが
21 and YHWH, God of Israel, gives Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they strike them, and Israel possesses all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that land,
イスラエルの神ヱホバ、シホンとそのすべての民をイスラエルの手に付したまひたればイスラエル之を撃敗りてその土地にすめるアモリ人の地を悉く手に入れ
22 and they possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and to the Jordan.
アルノンよりヤボクに至るまでまた曠野よりヨルダンに至るまですべてアモリ人の土地を手に入たり
23 And now, YHWH, God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and you would possess it!
斯のごとくイスラエルの神ヱホバは其の民イスラエルのまへよりアモリ人を逐しりぞけたまひしに汝なほ之を取んとする乎
24 That which your god Chemosh causes you to possess—do you not possess it? And all that which our God YHWH has dispossessed from our presence—we possess it.
汝は汝の神ケモシが汝に取しむるものを取ざらんやわれらは我らの神ヱホバが我らに取しむる物を取ん
25 And now, [are] you at all better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he strive with Israel at all? Did he fight against them at all?
汝は誠にモアブの王チツポルの子バラクにまされる處ありとするかバラク曾てイスラエルとあらそひしことありや曾て之とたたかひしことありや
26 In Israel’s dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by the sides of Arnon [for] three hundred years—and why have you not delivered them in that time?
イスラエルがヘシボンとその村里アロエルとその村里およびアルノンの岸に沿ひたるすべての邑々に住ること三百年なりしに汝などてかその間に之を回復さざりしや
27 And I have not sinned against you, and you are doing evil with me—to fight against me. YHWH, the Judge, judges between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon today.”
我は汝に罪を犯せしことなきに汝はわれとたたかひて我に害をくはへんとす願くは審判をなしたまふヱホバ今日イスラエルの子孫とアンモンの子孫との間を鞫きたまへと
28 And the king of the sons of Ammon has not listened to the words of Jephthah which he sent to him,
しかれどもアンモンの子孫の王はヱフタのいひつかはせる言を聽いれざりき
29 and the Spirit of YHWH is on Jephthah, and he passes over Gilead and Manasseh, and passes over Mizpeh of Gilead, and he has passed over from Mizpeh of Gilead to the sons of Ammon.
ここにヱホバの靈ヱフタに臨みしかばヱフタすなはちギレアデおよびマナセを經過りギレアデのミヅパにいたりギレアデのミヅパよりすすみてアンモンの子孫に向ふ
30 And Jephthah vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You give the sons of Ammon into my hand at all—
ヱフタ、ヱホバに誓願を立ていひけるは汝誠にアンモンの子孫をわが手に付したまはば
31 then it has been, that which comes out from the doors of my house at all to meet me in my turning back in peace from the sons of Ammon—it has been for YHWH, or I have offered up a burnt-offering for it.”
我がアンモンの子孫の所より安然かに歸らんときに我家の戸より出きたりて我を迎ふるもの必ずヱホバの所有となるべし我之を燔祭となしてささげんと
32 And Jephthah passes over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and YHWH gives them into his hand,
ヱフタすなはちアンモンの子孫の所に進みゆきて之と戰ひしにヱホバかれらをその手に付したまひしかば
33 and he strikes them from Aroer, and to [where] you are going in to Minnith—twenty cities—and to the meadow of the vineyards, [with] a very great striking; and the sons of Ammon are humbled at the presence of the sons of Israel.
アロエルよりミンニテにまで至りこれが二十の邑を打敗りてアベルケラミムにいたり甚だ多の人をころせりかくアンモンの子孫はイスラエルの子孫に攻伏られたり
34 And Jephthah comes into Mizpeh, to his house, and behold, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and except her alone, he has no son or daughter.
かくてヱフタ、ミヅパに來りておのが家にいたるに其女鼓を執り舞ひ踊りて之を出で迎ふ是彼が獨子にて其のほかには男子もなくまた女子も有ざりき
35 And it comes to pass, when he sees her, that he tears his garments and says, “Aah! My daughter, you have caused me to bend greatly, and you have been among those troubling me; and I have opened my mouth to YHWH, and I am not able to turn back.”
ヱフタ之を視てその衣を裂ていひけるはああ吾が女よ汝實に我を傷しむ汝は我を惱すものなり其は我ヱホバにむかひて口を開きしによりて改むることあたはざればなり
36 And she says to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to YHWH, do to me as it has gone out from your mouth, after that YHWH has done vengeance for you on your enemies, on the sons of Ammon.”
女之にいひけるはわが父よ汝ヱホバにむかひて口をひらきたれば汝の口より言出せしごとく我になせよ其はヱホバ汝のために汝の敵なるアンモンの子孫に仇を復したまひたればなり
37 And she says to her father, “Let this thing be done to me; desist from me [for] two months, and I go on, and have gone down on the hills, and I weep for my virginity—I and my friends.”
女またその父にいひけるはねがはくは此事をわれに允せすなはち二月の間我をゆるし我をしてわが友等とともに往て山にくだりてわが處女たることを歎かしめよと
38 And he says, “Go”; and he sends her away [for] two months, and she goes, she and her friends, and she weeps for her virginity on the hills;
ヱフタすなはち往けといひて之を二月のあひだ出し遣ぬ女その友等とともに往き山の上にておのれの處女たるを歎きしが
39 and it comes to pass at the end of two months that she turns back to her father, and he does to her his vow which he has vowed, and she did not know a man; and it is a statute in Israel:
二月滿てその父に歸り來りたれば父その誓ひし誓願のごとくに之に行へり女は終に男を知ことなかりき
40 from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in a year.
是よりして年々にイスラエルの女子等往て年に四日ほどギレアデ人ヱフタの女のために哀哭ことをなす是イスラエルの規矩となれり
