Judges 2
1 And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,
ヱホバの使者ギルガルよりボキムに上りていひけるは我汝等をエジプトより上らしめわが汝らの先祖に誓ひたる地に携へ來れりまた我いひけらくわれ汝らと締べる契約を絶てやぶることあらじ
2 and says, “I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you for all time; and you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—you break down their altars; and you have not listened to My voice—what [is] this you have done?
汝らはこの國の民と契約を締ぶべからずかれらの祭壇を毀つべしとしかるに汝らはわが聲に從はざりき汝ら如何なれば斯ることをなせしや
3 And I have also said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been for adversaries to you, and their gods are for a snare to you.”
我またいひけらくわれ汝らの前より彼らを追ふべからずかれら反て汝等の肋を刺す荊棘とならんまた彼らの神々は汝等の罟となるべし
4 And it comes to pass, when the Messenger of YHWH speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
ヱホバの使これらの言をイスラエルのすべての子孫に語しかば民聲をあげて哭ぬ
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.
故に其所の名をボキム（哭者）と呼ぶかれら彼所にてヱホバに祭物を獻げたり
6 And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
ヨシユア民を去しめたればイスラエルの子孫おのおのその領地におもむきて地を獲たり
7 and the people serve YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of [the] elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
ヨシユアの世にありし間またヨシユアより後に生きのこりたる長老等の世にありしあひだ民はヱホバに事へたりこの長老等はヱホバのかつてイスラエルのために成したまひし諸の大なる行爲を見しものなり
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
ヱホバの僕ヌンの子ヨシユア百十歳にて死り
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash;
衆人エフライムの山のテムナテヘレスにあるかれらの產業の地においてガアシ山の北にこれを葬れり
10 and all that generation have also been gathered to their fathers, and another generation rises after them who have not known YHWH, and even the work which He has done to Israel.
かくてまたその時代のものことごとくその先祖のもとにあつめられその後に至りて他の時代おこりしが是はヱホバを識ずまたそのイスラエルのために爲したまひし行爲をも識ざりき
11 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim,
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバのまへに惡きことを作してバアリムにつかへ
12 and forsake YHWH, God of their fathers, who brings them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] around them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke YHWH,
かつてエジプトの地よりかれらを出したまひしその先祖の神ヱホバを棄てて他の神すなはちその四周なる國民の神にしたがひ之に跪づきてヱホバの怒を惹起せり
13 indeed, they forsake YHWH, and do service to Ba‘al and to Ashtaroth.
即ちかれらヱホバをすててバアルとアシタロテに事へたれば
14 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He sells them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, and they have not been able to stand before their enemies anymore;
ヱホバはげしくイスラエルを怒りたまひ掠むるものの手にわたして之を掠めしめかつ四周なるもろもろの敵の手にこれを賣たまひしかばかれらふたたびその敵の前に立つことを得ざりき
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of YHWH has been against them for calamity, as YHWH has spoken, and as YHWH has sworn to them, and they are greatly distressed.
かれらいづこに往くもヱホバの手これに災をなしぬ是はヱホバのいひたまひしごとくヱホバのこれに誓ひたまひしごとしここにおいてかれら惱むこと甚だしかりしが
16 And YHWH raises up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
ヱホバ士師を立てたまひたればかれらこれを掠むるものの手よりすくひ出したり
17 and they have also not listened to their judges, but have gone whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of YHWH—they have not done so.
然るにかれらその士師にもしたがはず反りて他の神を慕て之と淫をおこなひ之に跪き先祖がヱホバの命令に從がひて歩みたることろの道を頓に離れ去りてその如くには行はざりき
18 And when YHWH raised up judges for them—then YHWH was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all [the] days of the judge; for YHWH sighs, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
かれらのためにヱホバ士師を立てたまひし時に方りてはヱホバつねにその士師とともに在しその士師の世に在る間はヱホバかれらを敵の手よりすくひ出したまへり此はかれらおのれを虐げくるしむるものありしを呻きかなしめるによりてヱホバ之を哀れみたまひたればなり
19 And it has come to pass, when the judge dies—they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
されどその士師の死しのちまた戻きて先祖よりも甚だしく邪曲を行ひ他の神にしたがひてこれに事へ之に跪きておのれの行爲を息めずその頑固なる路を離れざりき
20 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He says, “Because that this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to My voice—
是をもてヱホバはげしくイスラエルをいかりていひたまはく此民はわがかつてその列祖に命じたる契約を犯し吾聲に從がはざるがゆゑに
21 I also do not continue to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua has left when he dies,
我もまたいまよりはヨシユアがその死しときに存しおけるいづれの國民をもかれらのまへより逐ひはらはざるべし
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of YHWH, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.”
此は我イスラエルがその先祖の守りしごとくヱホバの道を守りてこれに歩むやいなやを試みんがためなりと
23 And YHWH leaves these nations, so as not to dispossess them quickly, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
ヱホバはこれらの國民を逐はらふことを速にせずして之を遺しおきてヨシユアの手に付したまはざりしなり
