1 And he said Yahweh to Joshua may not you fear and may not you be dismayed take with you all [the] people of war and arise go up Ai see - I have given in hand your [the] king of Ai and people his and city his and land his.
主はヨシュアに言われた、「恐れてはならない、おののいてはならない。いくさびとを皆、率い、立って、アイに攻め上りなさい。わたしはアイの王とその民、その町、その地をあなたの手に授ける。
2 And you will do to Ai and to king its just as you did to Jericho and to king its only booty its and livestock its you will plunder for yourselves set for yourself an ambush for the city behind it.
あなたは、さきにエリコとその王にしたとおり、アイとその王とにしなければならない。ただし、ぶんどり物と家畜とは戦利品としてあなたがたのものとすることができるであろう。あなたはまず、町のうしろに伏兵を置きなさい」。
3 And he arose Joshua and all [the] people of war to go up Ai and he chose Joshua thirty thousand man [the] mighty [men] of strength and he sent out them night.
ヨシュアは立って、すべてのいくさびとと共に、アイに攻め上ろうとして、まず大勇士三万人を選び、それを夜のうちにつかわした。
4 And he commanded them saying see you [are] lying in wait for the city behind the city may not you go far away from the city very and you will be all of you prepared.
ヨシュアは彼らに命じて言った、「あなたがたは町に向かって、町のうしろに伏せていなければならない。町を遠く離れないで、みな備えをしていなければならない。
5 And I and all the people which [is] with me we will draw near to the city and it will be that they will come out to meet us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
わたしとわたしに従う民とは皆共に、町に攻め寄せよう。そして彼らが前のようにわれわれにむかって出てくるとき、われわれは彼らの前から逃げるであろう。
6 And they will come out after us until have drawn out we them from the city for they will say [they are] fleeing before us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
そうすれば彼らはわれわれを追って出てくるであろうから、われわれはついに彼らを町からおびき出すことができる。彼らは言うであろう、『この人々はまた前のように、われわれの前から逃げていく』。こうしてわれわれは彼らの前から逃げるであろう。
7 And you you will arise from the ambush and you will take possession of the city and he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your.
その時、あなたがたは伏せている所から立ち上がって、町を取らなければならない。あなたがたの神、主がそれをあなたがたの手に与えられるからである。
8 And it will be when have captured you the city you will set on fire the city with fire according to [the] word of Yahweh you will do see I have commanded you.
あなたがたが、町を取ったならば、町に火を放ち、主が命じられたようにしなければならない。わたしはこう、あなたがたに命じるのである」。
9 And he sent out them Joshua and they went to the ambush and they remained between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of Ai and he stayed Joshua in the night that in among the people.
そうしてヨシュアが彼らをつかわしたので、彼らはアイの西方、ベテルとアイの間の待ち伏せする場所に行って身を伏せた。ヨシュアはその夜、民の中に宿った。
10 And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he mustered the people and he went up he and [the] elders of Israel before the people Ai.
ヨシュアは明くる朝、早く起きて、民を集め、イスラエルの長老たちと共に、民に先立って、アイに上っていった。
11 And all the people of war which [was] with him they went up and they approached and they came before the city and they encamped from [the] north of Ai and the valley ([was] between it *Q(k)*) and between Ai.
彼と共にいたいくさびとたちもみな上っていって、町の前に近づき、アイの北に陣を取った。彼らとアイの間には、一つの谷があった。
12 And he took about five thousand man and he set them an ambush between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of the city.
ヨシュアはおおよそ五千人をとって、町の西方、ベテルとアイの間に、伏せておいた。
13 And they set the people all the camp which [was] from [the] north of the city and rearguard its from [the] west of the city and he went Joshua in the night that in [the] middle of the valley.
こうして民の主力を町の北におき、しんがりを町の西においた。ヨシュアはその夜、谷の中で宿った。
14 And it was when saw [the] king of Ai and they hurried and they rose early and they went out [the] men of the city to meet Israel for battle he and all people his to the appointed place before the Arabah and he not he knew that an ambush for him [was] behind the city.
アイの王はこれを見て、すべての民と共に、急いで、早く起き、アラバに行く下り坂に進み出て、イスラエルと戦った。しかし、王は町のうしろに、すきをうかがう伏兵のおることを知らなかった。
15 And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
ヨシュアはイスラエルのすべての人々と共に、彼らに打ち破られたふりをして、荒野の方向へ逃げだしたので、
16 And they were called together all the people which ([was] in Ai *Q(K)*) to pursue after them and they pursued after Joshua and they were drawn out from the city.
その町の民はみな呼ばわり集まって彼らのあとを追い、ヨシュアのあとを追って町からおびき出され、
17 And not he remained anyone in Ai and Beth-el who not they went out after Israel and they left the city open and they pursued after Israel.
アイにもベテルにも残っているものはひとりもなく、みな出てイスラエルのあとを追い、町を開け放して、イスラエルのあとを追った。
18 And he said Yahweh to Joshua stretch out with the javelin which [is] in hand your to Ai for in hand your I will give it and he stretched out Joshua with the javelin which [was] in hand his to the city.
その時、主はヨシュアに言われた、「あなたの手にあるなげやりを、アイの方にさし伸べなさい。わたしはその町をあなたの手に与えるであろう」。そこでヨシュアが手にしていたなげやりを、アイの方にさし伸べると、
19 And the ambush it arose quickly from place its and they ran when stretched out hand his and they went the city and they captured it and they hurried and they set on fire the city with fire.
伏兵はたちまちその場所から立ち上がり、ヨシュアが手をのべると同時に、走って町に入り、それを取って、ただちに町に火をかけた。
20 And they turned [the] men of Ai behind them and they saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the city the heavens towards and not it was in them hands to flee hither and hither and the people which was fleeing the wilderness it turned back against the pursuer.
それでアイの人々が、うしろをふり返って見ると、町の焼ける煙が天に立ちのぼっていたので、こちらへもあちらへも逃げるすべがなかった。荒野へ逃げていった民も身をかえして、追ってきた者に迫った。
21 And Joshua and all Israel they saw that it had captured the ambush the city and that it went up [the] smoke of the city and they turned back and they attacked [the] men of Ai.
ヨシュアとすべてのイスラエルびとは、伏兵が町を取り、町の焼ける煙が立ち上るのを見て、身をかえしてアイの人々を撃った。
22 And these [men] they came out from the city to meet them and they were to Israel in the middle these from this and these from this and they struck down them until not he had left to him a survivor and a fugitive.
また町を取ったものは町を出て彼らに向かったので、彼らは、こちらとあちらとからイスラエルの中にはさまれた。こうしてイスラエルびとが彼らを撃ったので、生き残ったもの、逃げおおせたものは、ひとりもなかった。
23 And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
そしてアイの王を生けどりにして、ヨシュアのもとへ連れてきた。
24 And it was when had finished Israel to kill all [the] inhabitants of Ai in the open country in the wilderness which they had pursued them in it and they had fallen all of them to [the] mouth of [the] sword until were finished they and they returned all Israel Ai and they attacked it to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
イスラエルびとは、荒野に追撃してきたアイの住民をことごとく野で殺し、つるぎをもってひとりも残さず撃ち倒してのち、皆アイに帰り、つるぎをもってその町を撃ち滅ぼした。
25 And it was all those [who] fell on the day that from man and unto woman two [plus] ten thousand all [the] people of Ai.
その日アイの人々はことごとく倒れた。その数は男女あわせて一万二千人であった。
26 And Joshua not he drew back hand his which he had stretched out with the javelin until that he had totally destroyed all [the] inhabitants of Ai.
ヨシュアはアイの住民をことごとく滅ぼしつくすまでは、なげやりをさし伸べた手を引っこめなかった。
27 Only the livestock and [the] booty of the city that they plundered for themselves Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had commanded Joshua.
ただし、その町の家畜および、ぶんどり品はイスラエルびとが自分たちの戦利品として取った。主がヨシュアに命じられた言葉にしたがったのである。
28 And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
こうしてヨシュアはアイを焼いて、永久に荒塚としたが、それは今日まで荒れ地となっている。
29 And [the] king of Ai he hanged on the tree until [the] time of the evening and just as went the sun he commanded Joshua and they took down corpse his from the tree and they threw it to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this.
ヨシュアはまた、アイの王を夕方まで木に掛けてさらし、日の入るころ、命じて、その死体を木から取りおろし、町の門の入口に投げすて、その上に石の大塚を積み上げさせたが、それは今日まで残っている。
30 Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
そしてヨシュアはエバル山にイスラエルの神、主のために一つの祭壇を築いた。
31 Just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh [the] people of Israel according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses an altar of stones complete which not anyone has wielded on them iron and they offered up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh and they sacrificed peace offerings.
これは主のしもべモーセがイスラエルの人々に命じたことにもとづき、モーセの律法の書にしるされているように、鉄の道具を当てない自然のままの石の祭壇であって、人々はその上で、主に燔祭をささげ、酬恩祭を供えた。
32 And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
その所で、ヨシュアはまたモーセの書きしるした律法を、イスラエルの人々の前で、石に書き写した。
33 And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
こうしてすべてのイスラエルびとは、本国人も、寄留の他国人も、長老、つかさびと、さばきびとと共に、主の契約の箱をかくレビびとである祭司たちの前で、箱のこなたとかなたに分れて、半ばはゲリジム山の前に、半ばはエバル山の前に立った。これは主のしもべモーセがさきに命じたように、イスラエルの民を祝福するためであった。
34 And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
そして後、ヨシュアはすべての律法の書にしるされている所にしたがって、祝福と、のろいとに関する律法の言葉をことごとく読んだ。
35 Not it was anything from all that he had commanded Moses which not he read aloud Joshua before all [the] assembly of Israel and the women and the little one[s] and the sojourner[s] who went in midst their.
モーセが命じたすべての言葉のうち、ヨシュアがイスラエルの全会衆および女と子どもたち、ならびにイスラエルのうちに住む寄留の他国人の前で、読まなかったものは一つもなかった。
