Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
ヨシユア朝はやく起いでてイスラエルの人々とともにシツテムを打發てヨルダンにゆき之を濟らずして其處に宿りぬ
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
斯て三日の後有司ら陣營の中をめぐり
3 and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
民に命じて曰ふ汝ら祭司等レビ人がなんぢらの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁出すを見ば其處を發出てその後に從がへ
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
されど汝らとその櫃との間には量りて凡そ二千キユビト許の隔離あるべし之に近づく勿れなんぢらその行べき途を知んためなり汝らは未だこの途を經しことなかりき
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
ヨシユアまた民に言ふ汝ら身を潔めよヱホバ明日なんぢらの中に妙なる事を行ひたまふべしと
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
ヨシユア祭司等に告ていふ契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて濟れと則ち契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて進めり
7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは今日よりして我イスラエルの衆の目の前に汝を尊くし我がモーセと偕にありし如く汝と偕にあることを之に知せん
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
なんぢ契約の櫃を舁ところの祭司等に命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの水際にゆかばヨルダンにいりて立べしと
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
ヨシユアでイスラエルの人々にむかひて汝ら此に近づき汝らの神ヱホバの言を聽けと
10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
而してヨシユア語りけらく活神なんぢらの中に在してカナン人ヘテ人ヒビ人ペリジ人ギルガジ人アモリ人ヱブス人を汝らの前より必ず逐はらひたまふべきを左の事によりてなんぢら知るべし
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
視よ全地の主の契約の櫃なんぢらに先だちてヨルダンにすすみ入る
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
然ば今イスラエルの支派の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧よ
13 And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.
全地の主ヱホバの櫃を舁ところの祭司等の足の蹠ヨルダンの水の中に踏とどまらばヨルダンの水上より流れくだる水きれとどまり立てうづだかくならん
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, the priests that bare the ark of the covenant being before the people;
かくて民はヨルダンを濟らんとてその幕屋を立出祭司等は契約の櫃を舁て之に先だちゆく
15 and when they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brink of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest, )
抑々ヨルダンは収穫の頃には絶ずその岸にことごとく溢るるなれど櫃を舁く者等ヨルダンに到り櫃を舁ける祭司等の足水際に浸ると斉しく
16 that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan: and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
上より流れくだる水止まりて遥に遠き處まで涸れザレタンに近きアダム邑の邊にて積り起て堆かくなりアラバの海すなはち鹽海の方に流れくだる水まつたく截止りたれば民ヱリコにむかひて直に濟れり
17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over Jordan.
即ちヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中の乾ける地に堅く立をりてイスラエル人みな乾ける地を渉りゆき遂に民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくせり
