< Judges 2 >

1 And he went up [the] angel of Yahweh from Gilgal to Bokim. And he said I brought up you from Egypt and I brought you into the land which I swore to ancestors your and I said not I will break covenant my with you for ever.
主の使がギルガルからボキムに上って言った、「わたしはあなたがたをエジプトから上らせて、あなたがたの先祖に誓った地に連れてきて、言った、『わたしはあなたと結んだ契約を決して破ることはない。
2 And you not you must make a covenant to [the] inhabitants of the land this altars their you will pull down! and not you have listened to voice my what? this have you done.
あなたがたはこの国の住民と契約を結んではならない。彼らの祭壇をこぼたなければならない』と。しかし、あなたがたはわたしの命令に従わなかった。あなたがたは、なんということをしたのか。
3 And also I say not I will drive out them from before you and they will become for you sides and gods their they will become for you a snare.
それでわたしは言う、『わたしはあなたがたの前から彼らを追い払わないであろう。彼らはかえってあなたがたの敵となり、彼らの神々はあなたがたのわなとなるであろう』と」。
4 And it was when spoke [the] angel of Yahweh the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they lifted up the people voice their and they wept.
主の使がこれらの言葉をイスラエルのすべての人々に告げたので、民は声をあげて泣いた。
5 And they called [the] name of the place that Bokim and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
それでその所の名をボキムと呼んだ。そして彼らはその所で主に犠牲をささげた。
6 And he sent away Joshua the people and they went [the] people of Israel everyone to own inheritance his to take possession of the land.
ヨシュアが民を去らせたので、イスラエルの人々はおのおのその領地へ行って土地を獲た。
7 And they served the people Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua who they had seen all [the] work of Yahweh great which he had done for Israel.
民はヨシュアの在世中も、またヨシュアのあとに生き残った長老たち、すなわち主がかつてイスラエルのために行われたすべての大いなるわざを見た人々の在世中も主に仕えた。
8 And he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of a hundred and ten years.
こうして主のしもべヌンの子ヨシュアは百十歳で死んだ。
9 And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his in Timnath Heres in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
人々は彼をエフライムの山地のガアシ山の北のテムナテ・ヘレスにある彼の領地内に葬った。
10 And also all the generation that they gathered to ancestors its and it arose a generation another after them which not they knew Yahweh and also the work which he had done for Israel.
そしてその時代の者もまたことごとくその先祖たちのもとにあつめられた。その後ほかの時代が起ったが、これは主を知らず、また主がイスラエルのために行われたわざをも知らなかった。
11 And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
イスラエルの人々は主の前に悪を行い、もろもろのバアルに仕え、
12 And they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they went after - gods other some of [the] gods of the peoples which [were] around them and they bowed down to them and they provoked to anger Yahweh.
かつてエジプトの地から彼らを導き出された先祖たちの神、主を捨てて、ほかの神々すなわち周囲にある国民の神々に従い、それにひざまずいて、主の怒りをひき起した。
13 And they forsook Yahweh and they served the Baal and the Ashtaroth.
すなわち彼らは主を捨てて、バアルとアシタロテに仕えたので、
14 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers and they plundered them and he sold them in [the] hand of enemies their from round about and not they were able still to stand before enemies their.
主の怒りがイスラエルに対して燃え、かすめ奪う者の手にわたして、かすめ奪わせ、かつ周囲のもろもろの敵の手に売られたので、彼らは再びその敵に立ち向かうことができなかった。
15 In every - where they went out [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them for harm just as he had spoken Yahweh and just as he had sworn Yahweh to them and it was distress to them exceedingly.
彼らがどこへ行っても、主の手は彼らに災をした。これは主がかつて言われ、また主が彼らに誓われたとおりで、彼らはひどく悩んだ。
16 And he raised up Yahweh judges and they delivered them from [the] hand of plunderers their.
その時、主はさばきづかさを起して、彼らをかすめ奪う者の手から救い出された。
17 And also to judges their not they listened for they acted as prostitutes after gods other and they bowed down to them they turned aside quickly from the way which they had walked fathers their to obey [the] commandments of Yahweh not they did so.
しかし彼らはそのさばきづかさにも従わず、かえってほかの神々を慕ってそれと姦淫を行い、それにひざまずき、先祖たちが主の命令に従って歩んだ道を、いちはやく離れ去って、そのようには行わなかった。
18 And if he raised up Yahweh - for them judges and he was Yahweh with the judge and he delivered them from [the] hand of enemies their all [the] days of the judge for he had compassion Yahweh from groaning their because of [those who] oppressed them and [those who] oppressed them.
主が彼らのためにさばきづかさを起されたとき、そのさばきづかさの在世中、主はさばきづかさと共におられて、彼らを敵の手から救い出された。これは彼らが自分をしえたげ悩ました者のゆえに、うめき悲しんだので、主が彼らをあわれまれたからである。
19 And it was - when died the judge they turned back and they acted corruptly more than fathers their by walking after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them not they let drop any of deeds their and any of way their stubborn.
しかしさばきづかさが死ぬと、彼らはそむいて、先祖たちにまさって悪を行い、ほかの神々に従ってそれに仕え、それにひざまずいてそのおこないをやめず、かたくなな道を離れなかった。
20 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he said because that they have transgressed the nation this covenant my which I commanded ancestors their and not they have listened to voice my.
それで主はイスラエルに対し激しく怒って言われた、「この民はわたしがかつて先祖たちに命じた契約を犯し、わたしの命令に従わないゆえ、
21 Also I not I will increase to dispossess anyone from before them any of the nations which he left Joshua and he died.
わたしもまたヨシュアが死んだときに残しておいた国民を、この後、彼らの前から追い払わないであろう。
22 So as to put to [the] test by them Israel ¿ [be] keeping [will] they [the] way of Yahweh by walking in them just as they kept [it] ancestors their or? not.
これはイスラエルが、先祖たちの守ったように主の道を守ってそれに歩むかどうかをわたしが試みるためである」。
23 And he left Yahweh the nations these to not to dispossess them quickly and not he gave them in [the] hand of Joshua.
それゆえ主はこれらの国民を急いで追い払わずに残しておいて、ヨシュアの手にわたされなかったのである。
