Nehemiah 9
1 And on day twenty and four of the month this they gathered [the] people of Israel with fasting and in sackcloth and earth [was] on them.
その月の二十四日にイスラエルの子孫あつまりて斷食し麻布を纒ひ土を蒙れり
2 And they separated themselves [the] offspring of Israel from all sons of foreignness and they stood and they confessed on sins their and [the] iniquities of ancestors their.
イスラエルの裔たる者一切の異邦人とはなれ而して立て己の罪と先祖の愆とを懺悔し
3 And they stood at place their and they read aloud in [the] scroll of [the] law of Yahweh God their [the] fourth of the day and a fourth [they were] confessing and [they were] bowing down to Yahweh God their.
皆おのおのがその處に立てこの日の四分の一をもてその神ヱホバの律法の書を誦み他の四分の一をもて懺悔をなしその神ヱホバを拝めり
4 And he stood on [the] platform of the Levites Jeshua and Bani Kadmiel Shebaniah Bunni Sherebiah Bani Kenani and they cried out with a voice great to Yahweh God their.
時にヱシユア、バニ、カデミエル、シバニヤ、ブンニ、セレビヤ、バニ、ケナニ等レビ人の臺に立ち大聲を擧てその神ヱホバに呼はれり
5 And they said the Levites Jeshua and Kadmiel Bani Hashabneiah Sherebiah Hodiah Shebaniah Pethahiah arise bless Yahweh God your from antiquity until perpetuity and may people bless [the] name of glory your and [may it] be exalted above all blessing and praise.
斯てまたヱシユア、カデミエル、バニ、ハシヤブニヤ、セレビヤ、ホデヤ、セバニヤ、ペタヒヤなどのレビ人言けらく汝ら起あがり永遠より永遠にわたりて在す汝らの神ヱホバを讃よ汝の尊き御名は讃べきかな是は一切の讃にも崇にも遠く超るなり
6 You he [are] Yahweh to alone you (you *Q(K)*) you made the heavens [the] heavens of the heavens and all host their the earth and all that [is] on it the seas and all that [is] in them and you [are] preserving alive all of them and [the] host of the heavens to you [are] bowing down.
汝は唯なんぢのみヱホバにまします汝は天と諸天の天およびその萬象地とその上の一切の物ならびに海とその中の一切の物を造り之をことごとく保存せたまふなり天軍なんぢを拝す
7 You he [are] Yahweh God who you chose Abram and you brought out him from Ur of [the] Chaldeans and you made name his Abraham.
汝はヱホバ神にまします汝は在昔アブラムを撰みてカルデヤのウルより之を導きいだしアブラハムといふ名をこれにつけ
8 And you found heart his faithful before you and you made with him the covenant to give [the] land of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and the Girgashite[s] to give to offspring his and you fulfilled words your for [are] righteous you.
その心の汝の前に忠信なるを觀そなはし之に契約を立てカナン人ヘテ人アモリ人ペリジ人ヱブス人およびギルガシ人の地をこれに與へその子孫に授けんと宣まひて終に汝の言を成たまへり汝は實に義し
9 And you saw [the] affliction of ancestors our in Egypt and outcry their you heard at [the] sea of reed[s].
汝は我らの先祖がエジプトにて艱難を受るを鑒みその紅海の邊にて呼はり叫ぶを聽いれ
10 And you gave signs and wonders on Pharaoh and on all servants his and on all [the] people of land his for you knew that they had acted presumptuously on them and you made for yourself a name as the day this.
異兆と奇蹟とをあらはしてパロとその諸臣とその國の庶民とを攻たまへりそはかれらは傲りて我らの先祖等を攻しことを知たまへばなり而して汝の名を揚たまへること尚今日のごとし
11 And the sea you split open before them and they passed in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and pursuers their you threw in [the] depths like a stone in waters mighty.
汝はまた彼らの前にあたりて海を分ち彼らをして旱ける地を踏て海の中を通らしめ彼らを追ふ者をば石を大水に投いるるごとくに淵に投いれたまひ
12 And in a pillar of cloud you led them by day and in a pillar of fire night to light up for them the way which they walked in it.
また晝は雲の柱をもて彼らを導き夜は火の柱をもて其往べき路を照したまひき
13 And on [the] mountain of Sinai you came down and you spoke with them from heaven and you gave to them judgments upright and laws of faithfulness statutes and commandments good.
汝はまたシナイ山の上に降り天より彼らと語ひ正しき例規および眞の律法善き法度および誡命を之に授け
14 And [the] sabbath of holiness your you made known to them and commandments and statutes and [the] law you commanded to them by [the] hand of Moses servant your.
汝の聖安息日を之に示し汝の僕モーセの手によりて誡命と法度と律法を之に命じ
15 And bread from heaven you gave to them for hunger their and water from a rock you brought forth for them for thirst their and you said to them to go to take possession of the land which you had lifted hand your to give to them.
天より食物を之に與へてその餓をとどめ磐より水を之がために出してその渇を濕し且この國をなんぢらに與へんと手を擧て誓ひ給ひしその國に入これを獲べきことをかれらに命じたまへり
16 And they and ancestors our they acted presumptuously and they stiffened neck their and not they listened to commandments your.
然るに彼等すなはち我らの先祖みづから傲りその項を強くして汝の誡命に聽したがはず
17 And they refused to listen and not they remembered wonders your which you had done with them and they stiffened neck their and they appointed a leader to return to servitude their in rebellion their and you [are] a God forgiveness gracious and compassionate long of anger and great (of covenant loyalty *Q(K)*) and not you abandoned them.
聽從ふことを拒み亦なんぢが其中にて行ひたまひし奇蹟を憶はず還てその項を強くし悖りて自ら一人の首領を立てその奴隸たりし處に歸らんとせり然りと雖も汝は罪を赦す神にして恩惠あり憐憫あり怒ること遅く慈悲厚くましまして彼らを棄たまはざりき
18 Even for they had made for themselves a calf of molten metal and they had said this [is] god your who he brought up you from Egypt and they had done blasphemies great.
また彼ら自ら一箇の犢を鋳造りて是は汝をエジプトより導き上りし汝の神なりと言て大に震怒をひきおこす事を行ひし時にすら
19 And you in compassion your great not you abandoned them in the wilderness [the] pillar of cloud not it departed from over them in daytime their to lead them in the way and [the] pillar of fire at night to light up for them and the way which they walked in it.
汝は重々も憐憫を垂て彼らを荒野に棄たまはず晝は雲の柱その上を離れずして之を途に導き夜は火の柱離れずして之を照しその行べき路を示したりき
20 And spirit your good you gave to instruct them and manna your not you withheld from mouth their and water you gave to them for thirst their.
汝はまた汝の善霊を賜ひて彼らを訓へ汝のマナを常に彼らの口にあたへまた水を彼らに與へてその渇をとどめ
21 And forty year[s] you sustained them in the wilderness not they were lacking clothes their not they wore out and feet their not they became swollen.
四十年の間かれらを荒野に養ひたまたれば彼らは何の缺る所もなくその衣服も古びずその足も腫ざりき
22 And you gave to them kingdoms and peoples and you apportioned them to a corner and they took possession of [the] land of Sihon and [the] land of [the] king of Heshbon and [the] land of Og [the] king of Bashan.
而して汝諸國諸民を彼らにあたへて之を各々に分ち取しめ給へりかれらはシホンの地ヘシボンの王の地およびバシヤンの王オグの地を獲たり
23 And children their you increased like [the] stars of the heavens and you brought them into the land which you had said to ancestors their to go to take possession of.
斯てまた汝は彼らの子孫を増て空の星のごなくならしめ前にその先祖等に入て獲よと宣まひたる地に之を導きいりたまひしかば
24 And they went the children and they took possession of the land and you subdued before them [the] inhabitants of the land the Canaanites and you gave them in hand their and kings their and [the] peoples of the land to do with them according to will their.
則ちその子孫入てこの地を獲たり斯て汝この地にすめるカナン人をかれらの前に打伏せその王等およびその國の民をかれらの手に付して意のままに之を待はしめたまひき
25 And they captured cities fortified and ground fertile and they took possession of houses full every good thing wells dug out vineyards and olive trees and tree[s] of food to abundance and they ate and they were satisfied and they grew fat and they luxuriated in goodness your great.
斯りしかば彼ら堅固なる邑々および膏腴なる地を取り各種の美物の充る家鑿井葡萄園橄欖園および許多の菓の樹を獲乃はち食ひて飽き肥太り汝の大なる恩惠に沾ひて樂みたりしが
26 And they were disobedient and they rebelled against you and they threw law your behind back their and prophets your they killed who they had warned them to bring back them to you and they did blasphemies great.
尚も悖りて汝に叛き汝の律法を後に抛擲ち己を戒しめて汝に歸らせんとしたる預言者等を殺し大に震怒を惹おこす事を行なへり
27 And you gave them in [the] hand of opponents their and they caused distress to them and in [the] time of distress their they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and according to compassion your great you gave to them deliverers and they delivered them from [the] hand of opponents their.
是に因て汝かれらをその敵の手に付して窘しめさせたまひしが彼らその艱難の時に汝に呼はりければ汝天より之を聽て重々も憐憫を加へ彼らに救ふ者を多く與へて彼らをその敵の手より救はせたまへり
28 And just as was rest to them they returned to do evil before you and you abandoned them in [the] hand of enemies their and they ruled over them and they returned and they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and you rescued them according to compassion your many times.
然るに彼らは安を獲の後復も汝の前に惡き事を行ひしかば汝かれらをその敵の手に棄おきて敵にこれを治めしめたまひけるが彼ら復立歸りて汝に呼はりたれば汝天よりこれを聽き憐憫を加へてしばしば彼らを助け
29 And you warned them to bring back them to law your and they they acted presumptuously and not they listened to commandments your and in judgments your they sinned in them which he will do anyone and he will live by them and they gave a shoulder stubborn and neck their they stiffened and not they listened.
彼らを汝の律法に引もどさんとして戒しめたまへり然りと雖も彼らは自ら傲りて汝の誡命に聽したがはず汝の例規(人のこれを行はば之によりて生べしといふ者)を犯し肩を聳かし項を強くして聽ことをせざりき
30 And you prolonged towards them years many and you warned them by spirit your by [the] hand of prophets your and not they gave ear and you gave them in [the] hand of [the] peoples of the lands.
斯りしかど汝は年ひさしく彼らを容しおき汝の預言者等に由て汝の霊をもて彼らを戒めたまひしが彼等つひに耳を傾けざりしに因て彼らを國々の民等の手に付したまへり
31 And in compassion your great not you made them complete destruction and not you abandoned them for [are] a God gracious and compassionate you.
されど汝は憐憫おほくして彼らを全くは絶さず亦彼らを棄たまふことをも爲たまはざりき汝は恩惠あり憐憫ある神にましませばなり
32 And therefore O God our God great mighty and awesome [the] keeper of the covenant and covenant loyalty may not it be small before you all the hardship which it has come upon us to kings our to leaders our and to priests our and to prophets our and to ancestors our and to all people your since [the] days of [the] kings of Assyria until the day this.
然ば我らの神大にして力強く且畏るべくして契約を保ち恩惠を施こしたまふ御神ねがはくはアッスリヤの王等の日より今日にいたるまで我儕の王等牧伯等祭司預言者我らの先祖汝の一切の民等に臨みし諸の苦難を小き事と觀たまはざれ
33 And you [are] righteous on every [thing which] has come on us for faithfulness you have acted and we we have acted wickedly.
我らに臨みし諸の事につきては汝義く在せり汝の爲たまひし所は誠實にして我らの爲しところは惡かりしなり
34 And kings our leaders our priests our and ancestors our not they did law your and not they paid attention to commandments your and to testimonies your which you admonished them.
我らの王等牧伯等祭司父祖等は汝の律法を行はず汝が用ひて彼らを戒しめたまひしその誡命と證詞に聽從はざりき
35 And they in own kingdom their and in goodness your great which you had given to them and in [the] land broad and fertile which you had set before them not they served you and not they turned back from deeds their evil.
即ち彼らは己の國に居り汝の賜ふ大なる恩惠に沾ひ汝が與へてその前に置たまひし廣き膏腴なる地にありける時に汝に事ふることを爲ず又ひるがへりて自己の惡き業をやむる事もせざりしなり
36 Here! we this day [are] slaves and the land which you gave to ancestors our to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its here! we [are] slaves on it.
鳴呼われらは今日奴隸たり汝が我らの先祖に與へてその中の產出物およびその中の佳物を食はせんとしたまひし地にて我らは奴隸となりをるこそはかなけれ

この地は汝が我らの罪の故によりて我らの上に立たまひし王等のために衆多の產物を出すなり且また彼らは我らの身をも我らの家畜をも意のままに左右することを得れば我らは大難の中にあるなり
38 And in all this we [are] making a trustworthy arrangement and writing and [are] on the sealed [document] leaders our Levites our priests our.
此もろもろの事のために我ら今堅き契約を立てこれを書しるし我らの牧伯等我らのレビ人我らの祭司これに印す
