Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
是は汝の先祖等の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふところの地において汝らが世に生存ふる日の間常に守り行ふべき法度と律法となり
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
汝らが逐はらふ國々の民がその神々に事へし處は山にある者も岡にある者も靑樹の下にある者もみな之を盡く毀ち
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
その壇を毀ちその柱を碎きそのアシラ像を火にて燒きまたその神々の雕像を斫倒して之が名をその處より絶去べし
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
但し汝らの神ヱホバには汝ら是のごとく爲べからず
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
汝らの神ヱホバがその名を置んとて汝らの支派の中より擇びたまふ處なるヱホバの住居を汝ら尋ね求めて其處にいたり
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
汝らの燔祭と犠牲汝らの什一と汝らの手の擧祭汝らの願還と自意の禮物および汝らの牛羊の首出等を汝ら其處に携へ詣り
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
其處にて汝らの神ヱホバの前に食をなし又汝らと汝らの家族皆その手を勞して獲たる物をもて快樂を取べし是なんぢの神ヱホバの祝福によりて獲たるものなればなり
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
汝ら彼處にては我らが今日此に爲ごとく各々その目に善と見ところを爲べからす
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
汝らは尚いまだ汝らの神ヱホバの賜ふ安息と產業にいたらざるなり
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
然ど汝らヨルダンを渡り汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに與へて獲させたまふ地に住にいたらん時またヱホバ汝らの周圍の敵を除き汝らに安息を賜ひて汝等安泰に住ふにいたらん時は
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
汝らの神ヱホバその名を置んために一の處を擇びたまはん汝ら其處に我が命ずる物を都て携へゆくべし即ち汝らの燔祭と犠牲と汝らの什一と汝らの手の擧祭および汝らがヱホバに誓願をたてて献んと誓ひし一切の佳物とを携へいたるべし
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
汝らは汝らの男子女子僕婢とともに汝らの神ヱホバの前に樂むべしまた汝らの門の内にをるレビ人とも然すべし其は是は汝らの中間に分なく產業なき者なればなり
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
汝愼め凡て汝が自ら擇ぶ處にて燔祭を献ることをする勿れ
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
唯汝らの支派の一の中にヱホバの選びたまはんその處に於て汝燔祭を献げまた我が汝に命ずる一切の事を爲べし
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
彼處にては汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ祝福に循ひて汝その心に好む獣畜を汝の門の内に殺してその肉を食ふことを得即ち汚れたる人も潔き人もこれを食ふを得ること羚羊と牡鹿に於けるが如し
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
但しその血は食ふべからず水の如くにこれを地に灌ぐべし
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
汝の穀物と酒と油の什一および汝の牛羊の首出ならびに汝が立し誓願を還すための禮物と汝の自意の禮物および汝の手の擧祭の品は汝これを汝の門の内に食ふべからず
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處において汝の神ヱホバの前に汝これを食ふべし即ち汝の男子女子僕婢および汝の門の内にをるレビ人とともに之を食ひ汝の手を勞して獲たる一切の物をもて汝の神ヱホバの前に快樂を取べし
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
汝愼め汝が世に生存ふる日の間レビ人を棄る勿れ
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
汝の神ヱホバ汝に言しごとくに汝の境界を廣くしたまふに及び汝心に肉を食ふことを欲して言ん我肉を食はんと然る時は汝すべてその心に好む肉を食ふことを得べし
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
もし汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて擇びたまへる處汝と離るること遠からば我が汝に命ぜし如く汝そのヱホバに賜はれる牛羊を宰り汝の門の内にて凡てその心に好む者を食ふべし
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
牡鹿と羚羊を食ふがごとく汝これを食ふことを得汚れたる者も潔き者も均くこれを食ふことを得るなり
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
唯堅く愼みてその血を食はざれ血はこれが生命なればなり汝その生命を肉とともに食ふべからず
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
汝これを食ふ勿れ水のごとくにこれを地に灌ぐべし
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
汝血を食はざれ汝もし斯ヱホバの善と觀たをふ事を爲ば汝の身と汝の後の子孫とに福祉あらん
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
唯汝の献げたる聖物と誓願の物とはこれをヱホバの擇びたまふ處に携へゆくべし
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
汝燔祭を献る時はその肉と血を汝の神ヱホバの壇に供ふべくまた犠牲を献る時はその血を汝の神ヱホバの壇の上に灌ぎその肉を食ふべし
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
わが汝に命ずる是等の言を汝聽て守れ汝かく汝の神ヱホバの善と觀正と觀たまふ事を爲ば汝と汝の後の子孫に永く福祉あらん
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て逐はらはんとする國々の民を汝の前より絶去たまひて汝つひにその國々を獲てその地に住にいたらん時は
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
汝みづから愼め彼らが汝の前に亡びたる後汝かれらに倣ひて罟にかかる勿れまた彼らの神を尋求めこの國々の民は如何なる樣にてその神々に事へたるか我もその如くにせんと言ことなかれ
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
汝の神ヱホバに向ひては汝然す可らず彼らはヱホバの忌かつ憎みたまふ諸の事をその神にむかひて爲しその男子女子をさへ火にて焚てその神々に献げたり
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
我が汝らに命ずるこの一切の言をなんぢら守りて行ふべし汝これを増なかれまた之を減すなかれ
