Judges 3
1 And these [are] the nations which YHWH left, to try Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan;
ヱホバが凡てカナンの諸の戰爭を知ざるイスラエルの者どもをこころみんとて遺しおきたまへる國民は左のごとし
2 (only for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them)—
（こはただイスラエルの代々の子孫特にいまだ戰爭を知ざるものにこれををしへ知らしめんがためなり）
3 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba‘al-Hermon to the entering in of Hamath;
即ちペリシテ人の五人の伯すべてのカナン人シドン人およびレバノン山に住みてバアルヘルモンの山よりハマテに入るところまでを占めたるヒビ人是なり
4 and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of YHWH that He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
これらをもてイスラエルをこころみかれらがヱホバのモーセによりてその先祖に命じたまひし命令に遵ふや否やを可知りしなり
5 And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
イスラエルの子孫はカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人
6 and take their daughters to them for wives, and have given their daughters to their sons, and they serve their gods;
ペリジ人ヒビ人エブス人のうちに住みかれらの女を妻に娶りまたおのれの女をかれらの子に與へかつかれらの神に事へたり
7 and the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and forget their God YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim and the Asheroth.
斯くイスラエルの子孫ヱホバのまへに惡をおこなひ己れの神なるヱホバをわすれてバアリムおよびアシラに事へたり
8 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He sells them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-Rishathaim eight years;
是においてヱホバはげしくイスラエルを怒りてこれをメソポタミヤの王クシヤンリシヤタイムの手に賣り付したまひしかばイスラエルの子孫はおよそ八年のあひだクシヤンリシヤタイムにつかへたり
9 and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to the sons of Israel, and he saves them—Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother;
茲にイスラエルの子孫ヱホバによばはりしかばヱホバはイスラエルの子孫の爲にひとりの救者を起して之を救はしめ給ふすなはちカレブの舍弟ケナズの子オテニエル是なり
10 and the Spirit of YHWH is on him, and he judges Israel, and goes out to battle, and YHWH gives Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand is strong against Chushan-Rishathaim;
ヱホバの靈オテニエルにのぞみたれば彼イスラエルを治め戰に出づヱホバ、メソポタミヤの王クシヤンリシヤタイムをその手に付したまひたればオテニエルの手クシヤンリシヤタイムに勝ことを得たり
11 and the land rests forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dies,
かくて國は四十年のあひだ太平なりきケナズの子オテニエルつひに死り
12 and the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH; and YHWH strengthens Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done evil in the eyes of YHWH;
イスラエルの子孫復ヱホバの眼のまへに惡をおこなふヱホバかれらがヱホバのまへに惡をおこなふによりてモアブの王エグロンをつよくなしてイスラエルに敵せしめたまへり
13 and he gathers the sons of Ammon and Amalek to himself, and goes and strikes Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
エグロンすなはちアンモンおよびアマレクの子孫を招き聚め往きてイスラエルを撃ち棕櫚の邑を取り
14 and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
ここにおいてイスラエルの子孫は十八年のあひだモアブの王エグロンに事へたりしが
15 And the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to them, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man [with] his right hand bound), and the sons of Israel send a present by his hand to Eglon king of Moab;
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼はりけるときヱホバかれらの爲に一個の救者を起したまふすなはちベニヤミン人ゲラの子なる左手利捷のエホデ是なりイスラエルの子孫かれを以てモアブの王エグロンに餽物せり
16 and Ehud makes a sword for himself, and it has two mouths (its length [is] a cubit), and he girds it under his long robe on his right thigh;
エホデ長一キユビトなる兩刃の劍を作らせこれを衣のしたに右の股のあたりにおび
17 and he brings the present near to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
餽物を齎してモアブの王エグロンのもとに詣るエグロンは甚だ肥たる人なりき
18 And it comes to pass, when he has finished to bring the present near, that he sends the people carrying the present away,
さて餽物を獻ぐることをはりしかば彼餽物を負ひ來りしものをかへし去らしめ
19 and he himself has turned back from the carved images which [are] at Gilgal and says, “I have a secret word for you, O king”; and he says, “Hush!” And all those standing by him go out from him.
自らはギルガルの傍なる石像の在る所より引き回していひけるは王よ我爾に告ぐべき密事ありと王人拂を命じたればその旁に立つものみな出で去りぬ
20 And Ehud has come to him, and he is sitting in the cool upper chamber which he has for himself, and Ehud says, “I have a word of God for you”; and he rises from off the throne;
エホデすなはち王のところに入來れり時に王はひとり上なる涼殿に坐し居たりしがエホデ我神の命に由りて爾に傳ふべきことありといひければ王すなはち座より起に
21 and Ehud puts forth his left hand, and takes the sword from off his right thigh, and thrusts it into his belly;
エホデ左の手を出し右の股より劍を取りてその腹を刺せり
22 and the hilt also goes in after the blade, and the fat shuts on the blade, that he has not drawn the sword out of his belly, and he goes out [through] the antechamber [[or and the dung came out]].
抦もまた刃とともに入りたりしが脂肉刃を塞ぎて之を腹より拔き出すことあたはずその鋒鋩うしろに出づ
23 And Ehud goes out at the porch, and shuts the doors of the upper chamber on him, and has bolted [it];
エホデすなはち廊をとほりてその後に樓の戸を閉てこれを鎖せり
24 and he has gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, “He is surely covering his feet, [relieving himself, ] in the cool inner chamber.”
その出でしのち王の僕來りて樓の戸の鎖したるを見いひけるは王はかならず涼殿の間に足を蔽ひ居るならんと
25 And they stay until confounded, and behold, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and behold, their lord is fallen to the earth—dead.
僕ども耻るまでに俟居たれど王樓の戸をひらかざれば鑰をとりて之を開き見るにその君は地に仆れて死をる
26 And Ehud escaped during their lingering, and has passed by the images, and escapes to Seirath.
エホデは彼等の猶豫ふ間に逃れて石像の在るところを過りセイラテに遁げゆけり
27 And it comes to pass, in his coming in, that he blows with a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go down with him from the hill-country, and he before them;
かれ既に至りエフライムの山に箛を吹きければイスラエルの子孫これとともに山より下るエホデこれを導けり
28 and he says to them, “Pursue after me, for YHWH has given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand”; and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan toward Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over.
かれ人衆にいひけるは我に續て來れヱホバ汝等の敵モアブ人を汝等の手に付したまふなりここにおいて彼らエホデにしたがひて下りモアブにおもむくところのヨルダンの津を取りて一人も渡ることを允さざりき
29 And they strike Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and everyone a man of valor, and no man has escaped,
そのとき彼らモアブ人およそ一萬人を殺せり是皆肥太たる勇士なりそのうち一人も脱れたるものなし
30 and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land rests [for] eighty years.
モアブはその日イスラエルの手に服せり而して國は八十年の間太平なりき
31 And after him has been Shamgar son of Anath, and he strikes the Philistines—six hundred men—with an ox-goad, and he also saves Israel.
エホデの後にアナテの子シヤムガルといふものあり牛の策をもてペリシテ人六百人を殺せり此人もまたイスラエルを救へり
