Numbers 32

1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;

ルベンの子孫とガドの子孫は甚だ多くの家畜の群を有り彼等ヤゼルの地とギレアデの地を觀るにその處は家畜に適き所なりければ

2 the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,

ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫來りてモーセと祭司エレアザルと會衆の牧伯等に言けるは

3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,

アタロテ、デボン、ヤゼル、ニムラ、ヘシボン、エレアレ、シバム、ネボ、ベオン

4 the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."

即ちヱホバがイスラエルの會衆の前に撃ほろぼしたまひし國は家畜に適き所なるが我らは家畜あり

5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."

また曰ふ然ば我らもし汝の目の前に恩を獲たらば請ふこの地を僕等に與へて產業となさしめ我らをしてヨルダンを濟ること無らしめよと斯いへり

6 Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?

モーセ、ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫に言けるは汝らの兄弟たちは戰ひに往に汝らは此に坐しをらんとするや

7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?

汝ら何ぞイスラエルの子孫の心を挫きてヱホバのこれに賜ひし地に濟ることを得ざらしめんとするや

8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

汝らの先祖等も我がカデシバルネアより其地を觀に遣せし時に然なせり

9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

即ち彼らエシコルの谷に至りて其地を觀し時イスラエルの子孫の心を挫きて之をしてヱホバの賜ひし地に往ことを得ざらしめたり

10 The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,

その時ヱホバ怒を發し誓ひて言たまひけらく

11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

エジプトより出きたれる人々の二十歳以上なる者は一人も我がアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひたる地を見ざるべし其はかれら我に全くは從はざればなり

12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'

第ケナズ人ヱフンネの子カルブとヌンの子ヨシユアとを除く此二人はヱホバに全く從ひたればなり

13 The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

ヱホバかくイスラエルにむかひて怒を發し之をして四十年のあひだ曠野にさまよはしめたまひければヱホバの前に惡をなししその代の人みな終に亡ぶるに至れり

14 "Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

抑汝らはその父に代りて起れる者即ち罪人の種にしてヱホバのイスラエルにむかひて懐たまふ烈しき怒を更に増んとするなり

15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."

汝ら若反きてヱホバに從はずばヱホバまたこの民を曠野に遺おきたまはん然せば汝等すなはちこの民を滅ぼすにいたるべし

16 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:

彼らモーセの側に進みよりて言けるは我らは此に我らの群のために羊の圈を建我らの少者のために邑を建んとす

17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

然ど我らはイスラエルの子孫をその處に導きゆくまでは身をよろひて之が前に奮ひ進まん第われらの少者はこの國に住る者等のために堅固なる邑に居ざるを得ず

18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

我らはイスラエルの子孫が皆おのおのその產業を獲までは我らの家に歸らじ

19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."

我らはヨルダンの彼旁において彼らと偕に產業を獲ことを爲じ我らはヨルダンの此旁すなはち東の方に產業を獲ればなり

20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

モーセかれらに言けるは汝らもしこの事を爲し汝らみな身をよろひてヱホバの前に往て戰ひ

21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

汝ら皆身をよろひヱホバの前にゆきてヨルダンを濟りヱホバのその敵を己の前より逐はらひたまひて

22 and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.

この國のヱホバに服ふにおよびて後汝ら歸ばヱホバの前にもイスラエルの前にも汝ら罪なかるべし然せばこの地はヱホバの前において汝らの產業とならん

23 "But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.

然ど汝らもし然せずば是ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯すなれば必ずその罪汝らの身におよぶと知べし

24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

汝らその少者のために邑を建てその羊のために圈を建よ而して汝らの口より出せるところを爲せ

25 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.

ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫モーセにこたへて言けるはわが主の命じたまふごとく僕等行ふべし

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

我らの少者と妻と羊と諸の家畜は此にギレアデの邑々に居べし

27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."

然ど僕等はおのおの戰爭のために身をよろひてわが主の言たまふ如くヱホバの前に渉りゆきて戰ふべし

28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

是においてモーセかれらの爲に祭司エレアザルとヌンの子ヨシユアとイスラエルの支派の族長等に命ずる事ありき

29 Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.

すなはちモーセかれらに言けるはガドの子孫とルベンの子孫もし汝らとともにヨルダンを濟りゆき各箇身をよろひてヱホバの前に戰ひてこの地汝らに服ふにいたらば汝らギレアデの地をかれらに與へて產業となさしむべし

30 But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

然ど彼らもし汝らとともに身をよろひて濟りゆかずば彼らはカナンの地に於て汝らの中に產業を獲ざる可らず

31 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.

ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫こたへて言ふヱホバが僕等に言たまふごとく我ら爲べし

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."

我らは身をよろひてヱホバの前にカナンの地に濟りゆきヨルダンの此旁なる我らの產業を保つことを爲べし

33 Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.

是においてモーセはアモリ人の王シホンの國とバシヤンの王オグの國をもてガドの子孫とルベンの子孫とヨセフの子マナセの支派の半とに與へたり即ちその國およびその境の内の邑々とその邑々の周圍の地とを之に與ふ

34 The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

ガドの子孫はデボン、アタロテ、アロエル

35 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,

アテロテ、シヨバン、ヤゼル、ヨグベハ

36 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

ベテニムラ、ベテハランなどの堅固なる邑を建て羊のために圈を建たり

37 The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

またルベンの子孫はヘシボン、エレアレ、キリヤタイム

38 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

ネボ、バアルメオン等の邑を建てその名を更めまたシブマの邑を建たりその建たる邑々には新しき名をつけたり

39 The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

またマナセの子マキルの子孫はギレアデに至りてこれを取り其處にをりしアモリ人を逐はらひければ

40 Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.

モーセ、ギレアデをマナセの子マキルに與へて其處に住しむ

41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.

またマナセの子ヤイルは往てその村々を取りこれをハヲテヤイル(ヤイル村)と名けたり

42 Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

またノバは往てケナテとその村々を取り自己の名にしたがひて之をノバと名けたり
