Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
凡て疵あり惡き處ある牛羊は汝これを汝の神ヱホバに献ぐべからず斯る者は汝の神ヱホバの忌嫌ひたまふ者なればなり
2 If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant,
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ邑々の中にて汝らの中間に若し或男または女汝の神ヱホバの目の前に惡事を行ひてその契約に悖り
3 and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
往て他の神々に事へてこれを拝み我が命ぜざる日や月や天の衆群などを拝むあらんに
4 and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
その事を汝に告る者ありて汝これを聞き細かにこれを査べ見るにその事眞にその言確にしてイスラエルの中に斯る憎むべき事行はれ居たらば
5 then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
汝その惡き事を行へる男または女を汝の門に曳いだし石をもてその男または女を撃殺すべし
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
殺すべき者は二人の證人または三人の證人の口に依てこれを殺すべし惟一人の證人の口のみをもて之を殺すことは爲べからず
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
斯る者を殺すには證人まづその手を之に加へ然る後に民みなその手を加ふべし汝かく惡事を汝らの中より除くべし
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God shall choose;
汝の門の内に訟へ爭ふ事おこるに當りその事件もし血を相流す事または權理を相爭ふ事または互に相撃たる事などにして汝に裁判かぬる者ならば汝起あがりて汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處に上り往き
9 and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
祭司なるレビ人と當時の士師とに詣りて問べし彼ら裁判の言詞を汝に示さん
10 You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which the LORD shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
ヱホバの選びたまふ處にて彼らが汝に示す命令の言のごとくに汝行ひ凡て彼らが汝に敎ふるごとくに愼みて爲べし
11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
即ち故らが汝に敎ふる律法の命令に循がひ彼らが汝に告る裁判に依て行ふべし彼らが汝に示す言に違ふて右にも左にも偏るべからず
12 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
人もし自ら壇斷にしその汝の神ヱホバの前に立て事ふる祭司またはその士師に聽したがはざる有ばその人を殺しイスラエルの中より惡を除くべし
13 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
然せば民みな聞て畏れ重て壇斷に事をなさざらん
14 When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me";
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地に汝いたり之を獲て其處に住におよべる時汝もし我周圍の一切の國人のごとくに我も王をわが上に立んと言あらば
15 you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
只なんぢの神ヱホバの選びたまふ人を汝の上にたてて王となすべしまた汝の上に王を立るには汝の兄弟の中の人をもてすべし汝の兄弟ならざる他國の人を汝の上に立べからず
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."
但し王となれる者は馬を多く得んとすべからず又馬を多く得んために民を率てエジプトに還るべからず其はヱホバなんぢらに向ひて汝らはこの後かさねて此路に歸るべからずと宣ひたればなり
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
また妻を多くその身に有て心を迷すべからずまた金銀を己のために多く蓄積べからず
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
彼その國の位に坐するにいたらば祭司なるレビ人の前にある書よりしてこの律法を一の書に書寫さしめ
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
世に生存ふる日の間つねにこれを己の許に置て誦み斯してその神ヱホバを畏るることを學びこの律法の一切の言と是等の法度を守りて行ふべし
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
然せば彼の心その兄弟の上に高ぶること無くまたその誡命を離れて右にも左にもまがること無してその子女とともにその國においてイスラエルの中にその日を永うすることを得ん
