Numbers 23
1 Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために此に七個の壇を築き此に七匹の牡牛と七匹の牡羊を備へよと
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, —and Balak and Balaam caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しバラクとバラムその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたり
3 Then said Balaam unto Balak: Station thyself by thine ascending-sacrifice, and let me go my way—peradventure Yahweh may come and meet me, and what thing soever he may show me, I will tell thee. So he went his way to a bare height.
而してバラムはバラクにむかひ汝は燔祭の傍に立をれ我は往んとすヱホバあるひは我に來りのぞみたまはんその我に示したまふところの事は凡てこれを汝に告んと言て一の高處に登たるに
4 And God came unto Balaam, —so he said unto him The seven altars, have I built in a row, and have caused to ascend, bullock and a ram on each altar.
神バラムに臨みたまひければバラムこれに言けるは我は七箇の壇を設けその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたりと
5 And Yahweh put a word into the mouth of Balaam, —and said—Return unto Balak, and, thus, shalt thou speak.
ヱホバ、バラムの口に言を授けて言たまはく汝バラクの許に歸りて斯いふべしと
6 So he returned unto him, and lo! he was stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, —he, and all the princes of Moab.
彼すなはちバラクの許に至るにバラクはモアブの諸の牧伯等とともに燔祭の傍に立をる
7 So he took up his parable and said, —From Aram, doth Balak conduct me, The king of Moab, from the mountains of the East, Come thou! curse me Jacob, Yea, come thou! rage on Israel.
バラムすなはちこの歌をのべて云くモアブの王バラク、スリアより我を招き寄せ東の邦の山より我を招き寄て云ふ來りて我ためにヤコブを詛へ來りてわがためにイスラエルを呪れと
8 How can I revile one whom GOD hath not reviled? Yea, how can I rage on one on whom Yahweh hath not raged?
神の詛はざる者を我いかで詛ふことを得んやヱホバの呪らざる者を我いかで呪ることを得んや
9 Surely from the head of the rocks, do I see him, Yea, from the hills, do I observe him, —Lo! a people, who alone doth dwell, And among the nations, he doth not reckon himself.
磐の頂より我これを觀岡の上より我これを望むこの民は獨り離れて居ん萬の民の中に列ぶことなからん
10 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob? Or who hath numbered the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my hereafter be like his!
誰かヤコブの塵を計へ得んやイスラエルの四分一を數ふることを能せんや願くは義人のごとくに我死ん願くはわが終これが終にひとしかれ
11 Then said Balak unto Balaam, What hast thou done for me? To revile mine enemies, I summoned thee, and lo! thou hast kept on blessing.
是においてバラク、バラムに言けるは汝我に何を爲や我はわが敵を詛はしめんとて汝を携きたりしなるに汝はかへつて全くこれを祝せり
12 And he answered and said, —Was it not to be so that whatsoever Yahweh should put into my mouth, the same, should I take heed to speak?
バラムこたへて言けるは我は愼みてヱホバの我口に授る事のみを宣べきにあらずや
13 Then said Balak unto him—Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see him, nothing but his utmost part, shalt thou see, but all of him, shalt thou not see, —and so revile me him from thence.
バラクこれに言けるは請ふ汝われとともに他の處に來りて其處より彼らを觀よ汝ただ彼らの極端のみを觀ん彼らを全くは觀ことを得ざるべし請ふ其處にて我ために彼らを詛へと
14 And he took him to the field of Zophim, unto the head of Pisgah, —and built seven altars, and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
やがて之を導きてピスガの嶺なる斥候の原に至り七箇の壇を築きて壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
15 Then said he to Balak, Station thyself here by thine ascending-sacrifice, —while, I, meet him yonder.
時にバラム、バラクに言けるは汝此にて燔祭の傍に立をれ我またも往て會見ゆることをせんと
16 And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, —and said—Return unto Balak and thus shalt thou speak.
ヱホバまたバラムに臨みて言をその口に授け汝バラクの許に歸りてかく言へとのたまひければ
17 So he came in unto him and, there he was-stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Yahweh spoken?
彼バラクの許にかへりけるにバラクは燔祭の傍に立をりモアブの牧伯等これとともに居りしがバラクすなはちバラムにむかひヱホバ何と言しやと問ければ
18 Then took he up his parable and said, —Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor!
バラムまたこの歌を宣たり云くバラクよ起て聽けチッポルの子よ我に耳を傾けよ
19 GOD is, not a man, that he should lie, Nor a son of Adam, that he should repent, —Hath, he, said, and will not perform? Yea spoken, and will not make it stand fast?
神は人のごとく謊ること无しまた人の子のごとく悔ること有ずその言ところは之を行はざらんやその語るところは之を成就ざらんや
20 Lo! to bless, have I received [command], —And I will bless, nor will I take it back.
我はこれがために福祉をいのれとの命令を受く旣に之に福祉をたまへば我これを變るあたはざるなり
21 He hath not discovered trouble in Jacob, Neither hath he seen wretchedness in Israel, —Yahweh, his God, is with him, And, the acclaim of a king, in his midst:
ヱホバ、ヤコブの中に惡き事あるを見ずイスラエルの中に憂患あるを見ずその神ヱホバこれとともに在し王を喜びて呼はる聲その中にあり
22 GOD having brought them forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his:
神かれらをエジプトより導き出したまふイスラエルは強きこと兕のごとし
23 Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, —Now, shall it be said—Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought!
ヤコブには魔術なしイスラエルには占卜あらず神はその爲ところをその時にヤコブに告げイスラエルにしめしたまふなり
24 Lo, a people, like a lioness, shall rise, And like a strong lion, shall rouse himself up; He will not lie down till he eat the torn, And the blood of the slain, he drink.
觀よこの民は牝獅子のごとくに起あがり牡獅子のごとくに身を興さん是はその攫得たる物を食ひその殺しし物の血を飮では臥ことを爲じ
25 Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, —nor bless him.
是においてバラクはバラムに向ひ汝かれらを詛ふことをも祝することをも爲なかれと言けるに
26 And Balaam responded, and said unto Balak, —Spake I not unto thee, saying, All that Yahweh shall speak, that, must I do?
バラムこたへてバラクに言ふ我はヱホバの宣まふ事は凡てこれを爲ざるを得ずと汝に告おきしにあらずやと
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee! let me take thee unto another place, —peradventure, it may be right in the eyes of God, that thou revile me him. from thence.
バラクまたバラムに言けるは請ふ來れ我なんぢを他の處に導き往ん神あるひは汝が其處より彼らを我ために詛ふことを善とせんと
28 So Balak took Balaam, —unto the head of Peor, that looketh over the face of the Jeshimon.
バラクすなはちバラムを導きて曠野に對するペオルの嶺に至るに
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here, seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために七箇の壇を此に築き牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を此に備へよと
30 And Balak did as Balaam said, —and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
