Joshua 22
1 Then, called Joshua—for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites, —and for the half tribe of Manasseh;
茲にヨシユア、ルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半を召て
2 and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, —and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you:
これに言けるは汝らはヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命ぜし所をことごとく守り又わが汝らに命ぜし一切の事において我言に聽したがへり
3 ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, —but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
汝らは今日まで日ひさしく汝らの兄弟を離れずして汝らの神ヱホバの命令の言を守り來り
4 Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, —now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan.
今は已に汝らの神ヱホバなんぢらの兄弟に向に宣まひし如く安息を賜ふに至れり然ば汝ら身を轉らしヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの彼方なる汝等の產業の地に歸りて自己の天幕にゆけ
5 Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you—to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, —and to serve him—with all your heart, and with all your soul.
只ヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命じおきし誡命と律法とを善く謹しみて行ひ汝らの神ヱホバを愛しその一切の途に歩みその命令を守りて之に附したがひ心を盡し精神を盡して之に事ふべしと
6 So Joshua blessed them, —and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.
かくてヨシユア彼らを祝して去しめければ彼らはその天幕に往り
7 Now, unto the [one] half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the [other] half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward, —moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them,
マナセの支派の半にはモーセ、バシヤンにて產業を與へおけりその他の半にはヨシユア、ヨルダンの此旁西の方にてその兄弟等の中に產業を與ふヨシユア彼らをその天幕に歸し遣るに當りて之を祝し
8 and spake unto them, saying—With much wealth, return ye unto your homes, even with very much cattle, with silver and with gold, and with copper and with iron, and with very much raiment, —divide ye the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
之に告て言けるは汝ら衆多の貨財夥多しき家畜金銀銅鐵および夥多しき衣服をもちて汝らの天幕に歸り汝らの敵より獲たるその物を汝らの兄弟の中に分つべしと
9 So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan, —to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
爰にルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半はヱホバのモーセによりて命じ給ひし所に循ひて己の所有の地すなはち已に獲たるギレアデの地に往んとてカナンの地のシロよりしてイスラエルの子孫に別れて歸りけるが
10 And, when they came into the circles of the Jordan, which were in the land of Canaan, —then did the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh build there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of large dimensions,
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地のヨルダンの岸邊にいたるにおよびて彼處にてヨルダンの傍に一の壇を築けりその壇は大にして遥に見えわたる
11 And the sons of Israel heard say, —Lo! the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in front of the land of Canaan, in the circles of the Jordan, in the region opposite the sons of Israel.
イスラエルの子孫はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地の前の部にてヨルダンの岸邊イスラエルの子孫に屬する方にて一の壇を築けりと言を聞り
12 And, when the sons of Israel heard, all the assembly of the sons of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
イスラエルの子孫これを聞と斉しくイスラエルの子孫の會衆ことごとくシロに集まりて彼らの所に攻のぼらんとす
13 And the sons of Israel sent unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest;
イスラエルの子孫すなはち祭司エレアザルの子ピハネスをギレアデの地に遣はしてルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半の所に至らしめ
14 and ten princes with him, one prince of an ancestral house for each of the tribes of Israel, —they being, severally heads of their ancestral houses, among the thousands of Israel.
イスラエルの各々の支派の中より父祖の家の牧伯一人づつを擧て合せて十人の牧伯を之に伴なはしむ是みなイスラエルの家族の中にて父祖の家の長たる者なりき
15 So they came in unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —and spake with them, saying:
彼らギレアデの地に往きルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半にいたりて之に語りて言けらく
16 Thus, say all the assembly of Yahweh—What is this act of treachery which ye have committed against the God of Israel, that ye should turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, —in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel, to-day, against Yahweh?
ヱホバの全會衆かく言ふ汝らイスラエルの神にむかひて愆を犯し今日すでに翻へりてヱホバに從がはざらんとし即ち己のために一の壇を築きて今日ヱホバに叛かんとするは何事ぞや
17 Too little for us, was the iniquity of Peor, from which we have not cleansed ourselves, unto this day, —although the plague came upon the assembly of Yahweh;
ベオルの罪われらに足ざらんや之がためにヱホバの會衆に災禍くだりたりしかども我ら今日までも尚身を潔めてその罪を棄ざるなり
18 but that, ye, must turn back to-day from following Yahweh, —though it must needs be that, if, ye, rebel to-day against Yahweh, then, to-morrow, with all the assembly of Israel, will he be wroth?
然るに汝らは今日ひるがへりてヱホバに從がはざらんとするや汝ら今日ヱホバに叛けば明日はヱホバ、イスラエルの全會衆を怒りたまふべし
19 Howbeit, if, unclean, be the land of your possession, do ye on your part come over into the land of the possession of Yahweh, where abideth the habitation of Yahweh, and take your possession in our midst, —but, against Yahweh, do not rebel, nor, against us, rebel, by building yourselves an altar apart from the altar of Yahweh our God.
然ながら汝らの所有の地もし潔からずばヱホバの幕屋のたてるヱホバの產業の地に濟り來て我らの中にて所有を獲よ惟われらの神ヱホバの壇の外に壇を築きてヱホバに叛く勿れまた我らに悖るなかれ
20 Did not, Achan son of Zerah, commit an act of treachery, with a devoted thing, and, upon all the assembly of Israel, came wrath, —so that not, he—one man alone, died in his iniquity.
ゼラの子アカン詛はれし物につきて愆を犯しつひにイスラエルの全會衆に震怒臨みしにあらずや且また其罪にて滅亡し者は彼人ひとりにはあらざりき
21 Then responded the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, —and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel:
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半答へてイスラエルの宗族の長等に言けるは
22 El-Elohim-Yahweh, El-Elohim-Yahweh, he knoweth, and, Israel, he, shall know, —if in rebellion, or if in treachery, against Yahweh, do not save us this day:
諸の神の神ヱホバ諸の神の神ヱホバ知しめすイスラエルも亦知んもし叛く事あるひはヱホバに罪を犯す事ならば汝今日我らを救ふなかれ
23 that we should build for ourselves an altar, to turn back from following Yahweh, —or, if that we might cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifice or meal-offering, or if that we might offer thereon peace-offerings, let Yahweh himself require it;
我らが壇を築きし事もし翻がへりてヱホバに從がはざらんが爲なるか又は其上に燔祭素祭を献げんが爲なるか又はその上に酬恩祭の犠牲を獻げんがためならばヱホバみづからその罪を問討したまへ
24 if, indeed, we have not, rather, out of anxiety and of purpose, done this thing, saying, —. In time to come, your sons might speak to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with Yahweh, God of Israel;
我等は遠き慮をもて故に斯なしたるなり即ち思ひけらく後の日にいたりて汝らの子孫われらの子孫に語りて言ならん汝らはイスラエルの神ヱホバと何の關係あらんや
25 seeing that, a boundary, hath Yahweh put between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and ye sons of Gad—even the Jordan, ye have no portion in Yahweh, —so might your sons cause our sons, to cease from revering Yahweh.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫よヱホバ我らと汝らの間にヨルダンを界となしたまへり汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと斯いひてなんぢらの子孫われらの子孫としてヱホバを畏るることを息しめんと
26 We said, therefore, Let us prepare, we pray you, to build us an altar, —not for ascending-offering, nor for sacrifice;
是故に我ら言けらく我らいま一の壇を我らのために築かんと是燔祭のために非ずまた犠牲のために非ず
27 but that, a witness, it may be between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we are to do the service of Yahweh, before him, with our ascending-offerings and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, —that your sons may not say, in time to come, to our sons, Ye have no portion in Yahweh.
惟し之をして我らと汝らの間および我らの後の子孫の間に證とならしめて我ら燔祭犠牲および酬恩祭をもてヱホバの前にその職務をなさんがためなり然せば汝らの子孫後の日いたりて我らの子孫に汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと言こと無らん
28 Therefore said we, And it shall be, when they [so] say to us, or to our generations, in time to come, —that we will say—Behold ye the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for ascending-offerings nor for sacrifice, but that, a witness, it might be between us and you.
是をもて我ら言り彼らが我らまたは後の日に我らの子孫に然いはばその時我ら言ん我らの父祖の築きたりしヱホバの壇の模形を見よ是は燔祭のためにも非ずまた犠牲のためにもあらず我らと汝らとの間の證なり
29 Far be it from us—that we should rebel against Yahweh, or turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, by building an altar, for ascending-offering, or meal-offering or for sacrifice, —other than the altar of Yahweh our God, which is before his habitation.
ヱホバに叛き翻へりて今日ヱホバに從がふことを息め我らの神ヱホバの幕屋の前にあるその祭壇の外に燔祭素祭犠牲などのために壇を築くことは我らの絶て爲ざる所なり
30 And, when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the assembly, even the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spake, then was it well-pleasing in their eyes.
祭司ピネハスおよび會衆の長等即ち彼とともなるイスラエルの宗族の首等はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫が述たる言を聞て善とせり
31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Manasseh—To-day, we know that, in our midst, is Yahweh, in that ye have not committed, against Yahweh, this act of treachery, —now, have ye rescued the sons of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスすなはちルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫に言けるは我ら今日ヱホバの我らの中に在すを知る其は汝らヱホバにむかひて此愆を犯さざればなり今なんぢらはイスラエルの子孫をヱホバの手より救ひいだせりと
32 So Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the princes returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the sons of Israel, —and brought them back word.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスおよび牧伯等すなはちルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫に別れてギレアデの地よりカナンの地に歸りイスラエルの子孫にいたりて復命しけるに
33 And the thing was well-pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God, —and spake not of going up against them, to war, to lay waste the land, wherein the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt.
イスラエルの子孫これを善とせり而してイスラエルの子孫神を讃めルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫の住をる國を滅ぼしに攻上らんと重ねて言ざりき
34 So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad named the altar [a Witness]: A witness, it is between us, That, Yahweh, is God.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫その壇をエド(證)と名けて云ふ是は我らの間にありてヱホバは神にいますとの證をなす者なりと
