< Judges 7 >
1 And he rose early Jerub-Baal that [is] Gideon and all the people which [was] with him and they encamped at En Harod and [the] camp of Midian it was of him from [the] north from [the] hill of Moreh in the valley.
斯てヱルバアルと呼るるギデオンおよび之とともにあるすべての民朝夙に興きいでてハロデの井のほとりに陣を取るミデアン人の陣はかれらの北の方にあたりモレの山に沿ひ谷のうちにありき
2 And he said Yahweh to Gideon [is too] numerous the people which [is] with you than to give I Midian in hand their lest it should glorify itself over me Israel saying hand my it has delivered me.
ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまひけるは汝とともに在る民は餘りに多ければ我その手にミデアン人を付さじおそらくはイスラエル我に向ひ自ら誇りていはん我わが手をもて己を救へりと
3 And therefore proclaim please in [the] ears of the people saying who? [is] fearful and trembling let him go back and he may go from [the] mountain of Gilead and it returned of the people twenty and two thousand and ten thousand they remained.
されば民の耳に告示していふべし誰にても懼れ慄くものはギレアデ山より歸り去るべしとここにおいて民のかへりしもの二萬二千人あり殘しものは一萬人なりき
4 And he said Yahweh to Gideon still the people [is] numerous bring down them to the water so I may test it for you there and it will be [the one] whom I will say to you this [one] - he will go with you he he will go with you and every [one] whom I will say to you this [one] not he will go with you he not he will go.
ヱホバまたギデオンにいひたまひけるは民なほ多し之を導きて水際に下れ我かしこにて汝のために彼らを試みんおほよそ我が汝に告て此人は汝とともに行くべしといはんものはすなはち汝とともに行くべしまたおほよそ我汝に告て此人は汝とともに行くべからずといはんものはすなはち行くべからざるなり
5 And he brought down the people to the water. And he said Yahweh to Gideon every [one] who he will lap up with tongue his some of the water just as it laps up the dog you will set him alone and every [one] who he will bow down on knees his to drink.
ギデオン民をみちびきて水際に下りしにヱホバ之にいひたまひけるはおほよそ犬の餂るがごとくその舌をもて水を餂るものは汝之を別けおくべしまたおほよそ其の膝を折り屈みて水を飮むものをも然すべしと
6 And it was [the] number of those [who] lapped with hand their to mouth their three hundred man and all [the] remainder of the people they bowed down on knees their to drink water.
手を口にあてて水を餂しものの數は三百人なり餘の民は盡くその膝を折り屈みて水を飮り
7 And he said Yahweh to Gideon by three hundred the man who lapped I will deliver you and I will give Midian in hand your and all the people let them go each to own place his.
ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまひけるは我水を餂たる三百人の者をもて汝らを救ひミデアン人を汝の手に付さん餘の民はおのおの其所に歸るべしと
8 And they took provision[s] the people in hand their and trumpets their and every man of Israel he sent away each to tents his and on three hundred the man he kept hold and [the] camp of Midian it was to him from under in the valley.
ここにおいて彼ら民の兵粮とその箛を手にうけとれりギデオンすなはちすべてのイスラエル人を各自その天幕に歸らせ彼の三百人を留めおけり時にミデアン人の陣はその下の谷のなかにありき
9 And it was in the night that and he said to him Yahweh arise go down in the camp for I have given it in hand your.
その夜ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまはく起よ下りて敵陣に入るべし我之を汝の手に付すなり
10 And if [are] afraid you to go down go down you and Purah servant your to the camp.
されど汝もし下ることを怖れなば汝の僕フラを伴ひ陣所に下りて
11 And you will hear what? will they speak and after they will be strong hands your and you will go down in the camp and he went down he and Purah servant his to [the] edge of those arrayed for battle who [were] in the camp.
彼らのいふ所を聞べし然せば汝の手強くなりて汝敵陣にくだることを得んとギデオンすなはち僕フラとともに下りて陣中にある隊伍のほとりに至るに
12 And Midian and Amalek and all [the] people of [the] east [were] lying in the valley like locust[s] for multitude and [belonged] to camels their not number like the sand that [is] on [the] shore of the sea for multitude.
ミデアン人アマレク人およびすべて東方の民は蝗蟲のごとくに數衆く谷のうちに堰しをりその駱駝は濱の砂の多きがごとくにして數ふるに勝ず
13 And he came Gideon and there! a man [was] recounting to neighbor his a dream and he said here! a dream I have dreamed and there! (a round loaf of *Q(K)*) bread of barley [was] tumbling in [the] camp of Midian and it came to the tent and it struck it and it fell and it overturned it upwards and it fell the tent.
ギデオン其處に至りしに或人その伴侶に夢を語りて居りすなはちいふ我夢を見たりしが夢に大麥のパンひとつミデアンの陣中に轉びいりて天幕に至り之をうち仆し覆したれば天幕倒れ臥り
14 And he answered neighbor his and he said not this [is] except [the] sword of Gideon [the] son of Joash a man of Israel he has given God in hand his Midian and all the army.
其の伴侶答へていふ是イスラエルの人ヨアシの子ギデオンの劍に外ならず神ミデアンとすべての陣營を之が手に付したまふなりと
15 And it was when heard Gideon [the] recounting of the dream and interpretation its and he bowed down and he returned to [the] camp of Israel and he said arise for he has given Yahweh in hand your [the] camp of Midian.
ギデオン夢の説話とその解釋を聞しかば拜をなしてイスラエルの陣所にかへりいひけるは起よヱホバ汝らの手にミデアンの陣をわたしたまふと
16 And he divided three hundred the man three companies and he put trumpets in [the] hand of all of them and jars empty and torches in [the] midst of the jars.
かくて三百人を三隊にわかち手に手に箛および空瓶を取せその瓶のなかに燈火をおかしめ
17 And he said to them from me you will see and thus you will do and here! I [will be] coming in [the] edge of the camp and it will be just as I will do so you will do!
これにいひけるは我を視てわが爲すところにならへ我が敵陣の邊に至らんときに爲すごとく汝らも爲すべし
18 And I will give a blast on the trumpet I and all who [are] with me and you will give a blast on the trumpets also you all around all the camp and you will say for Yahweh and for Gideon.
我およびわれとともに在るものすべて箛を吹ば汝らもまたすべて陣營の四方にて箛を吹き此ヱホバのためなりギデオンのためなりといへと
19 And he went Gideon and one hundred man who [were] with him in [the] edge of the camp [the] beginning of the watch middle just as certainly they had stationed the watchmen and they gave a blast on the trumpets and they smashed the jars which [were] in hand their.
而してギデオンおよび之とともなる百人中更の初に陣營の邊に至るにをりしも番兵を更代たるときなりければ箛を吹き手に携へたる瓶をうちくだけり
20 And they gave a blast [the] three the companies on the trumpets and they broke the jars and they took hold in [the] hand of left their on the torches and in [the] hand of right their the trumpets to give a blast and they called out a sword for Yahweh and for Gideon.
即ち三隊の兵隊箛を吹き瓶をうちくだき左の手には燈火を執り右の手には箛をもちて之を吹きヱホバの劍ギデオンの劍なるぞと叫べり
21 And they stood everyone in place his round about the camp and it ran all the army and they shouted in distress (and they fled. *Q(K)*)
かくておのおのその持場に立ち陣營を取り圍みたれば敵軍みな走り叫びてにげゆけり
22 And they gave a blast [the] three hundred the trumpets and he set Yahweh [the] sword of each on neighbor his and on all the army and it fled the army to Beth Shittah towards Zererah to [the] border of Abel Meholah at Tabbath.
三百人のもの箛を吹くにあたりヱホバ敵軍をしてみなたがひに同士撃せしめたまひければ敵軍にげはしりてゼレラのベテシツダ、アベルメホラの境およびタバテに至る
23 And it was summoned [the] man of Israel from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh and they pursued after Midian.
イスラエルの人々すなはちナフタリ、アセルおよびマナセ中より集ひ來りてミデアン人を追撃り
24 And messengers he sent Gideon in all [the] hill country of Ephraim saying come down to meet Midian and capture to them the waters to Beth Barah and the Jordan and he was summoned every man of Ephraim and they captured the waters to Beth Barah and the Jordan.
ギデオン使者をあまねくエフライムの山に遣していはせけるは下りてミデアン人を攻めベタバラにいたる渡口およびヨルダンを遮斷るべしと是においてエフライムの人盡く集ひ來りてベタバラにいたる渡口およびヨルダンを取り

ミデアン人の君主オレブとゼエブの二人を俘へてオレブをばオレブ砦の上に殺しゼエブをばゼエブの酒搾のほとりに殺しまたミデアン人を追撃ちオレブとゼエブの首を携へてヨルダンの彼方よりギデオンの許にいたる
