< Deuteronomy 31 >
1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
茲にモーセ往てイスラエルの一切の人にこの言をのべたり
2 He said to them, “I am now one hundred twenty years old; I can no more go out and come in; Yahweh has said to me, 'You will not go over this Jordan.'
即ちこれに言けるは我は今日すでに百二十歳なれば最早出入をすること能はず且またヱホバ我にむかひて汝はこのヨルダンを濟ることを得ずと宣へり
3 Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you will dispossess them. Joshua, he will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
汝の神ヱホバみづから汝に先だちて渡りゆき汝の前よりこの國々の人を滅ぼしさりて汝にこれを獲させたまふべしまたヱホバのかつて宣まひしごとくヨシユア汝を率ゐて濟るべし
4 Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed.
ヱホバさきにアモリ人の王シホンとオグおよび之が地になしたる如くまた彼らにも爲てこれを滅ぼしたまはん
5 Yahweh will give you victory over them when you meet them in battle, and you will do to them all that I commanded you.
ヱホバかれらを汝らの前に付したまふべければ汝らは我が汝らに命ぜし一切の命令のごとくこれに爲べし
6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, and do not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God, he it is who goes with you; he will not fail you nor forsake you.”
汝ら心を強くしかつ勇め彼らを懼るる勿れ彼らの前に慄くなかれ其は汝の神ヱホバみづから汝とともに往きたまへばなり必ず汝を離れず汝を棄たまはじ
7 Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh has sworn to their ancestors to give them; you will cause them to inherit it.
斯てモーセ、ヨシユアを呼びイスラエルの一切の人の目の前にてこれに言ふ汝はこの民とともに往き在昔ヱホバがかれらの先祖たちに與へんと誓ひたまひし地に入るべきが故に心を強くしかつ勇め汝彼らにこれを獲さすることを得べし
8 Yahweh, he it is who goes before you; he will be with you; he will not fail you nor abandon you; do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.”
ヱホバみづから汝に先だちて往きたまはんまた汝とともに居り汝を離れず汝を棄たまはじ懼るる勿れ驚くなかれ
9 Moses wrote this law and gave it out to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; he also gave copies of it to all the elders of Israel.
モーセこの律法を書きヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビの子孫たる祭司およびイスラエルの諸の長老等に授けたり
10 Moses commanded them and said, “At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the cancellation of debts, during the Festival of Shelters,
而してモーセ彼らに命じて言けるは七年の末年すなはち放釋の年の節期にいたり結茅の節において
11 when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place that he will choose for his sanctuary, you will read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
イスラエルの人皆なんぢの神ヱホバの前に出んとてヱホバの選びたまふ處に來らんその時に汝イスラエルの一切の人の前にこの律法を誦てこれに聞すべし
12 Assemble the people, the men, the women, and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your city gates, so that they may hear and learn, and so that they may honor Yahweh your God and keep all the words of this law.
即ち男女子等および汝の門の内なる他國の人など一切の民を集め彼らをしてこれを聽かつ學ばしむべし然すれば彼等汝らの神ヱホバを畏れてこの律法の言を守り行はん
13 Do this so that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to honor Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
また彼らの子等のこれを知ざる者も之を聞て汝らの神ヱホバを畏るることを學ばん汝らそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲ところの地に存ふる日の間つねに斯すべし
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, the day is coming when you must die; call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, so that I may give him a command.” Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting.
ヱホバまたモーセに言たまひけるは視よ汝の死る日近しヨシユアを召てともに集會の幕屋に立て我かれに命ずるところあらんとモーセとヨシユアすなはち往て集會の幕屋に立けるに
15 Yahweh appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud; the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the tent.
ヱホバ幕屋において雲の柱の中に現はれたまへりその雲の柱は幕屋の門口の上に駐まれり
16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you will sleep with your fathers; this people will rise up and act like a prostitute going after the strange gods that are among them in the land where they are going. They will forsake me and break my covenant that I have made with them.
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝は先祖たちとともに寝らん此民は起あがりその往ところの他國の神々を慕ひて之と姦淫を行ひかつ我を棄て我が彼らとむすびし契約を破らん
17 Then, on that day, my anger will be kindled against them and I will abandon them. I will hide my face from them and they will be devoured. Many disasters and troubles will find them so that they will say on that day, 'Have these disasters not come upon us because our God is not in our midst?'
その日には我かれらにむかひて怒を發し彼らを棄て吾面をかれらに隱すべければ彼らは呑ほろぼされ許多の災害と艱難かれらに臨まん是をもてその日に彼ら言ん是等の災禍の我らにのぞむは我らの神ヱホバわれらとともに在さざるによるならずやと
18 I will surely hide my face from them on that day because of all the evil that they will have done, because they has turned to other gods.
然るも彼ら諸の惡をおこなひて他の神々に歸するによりて我その日にはかならず吾面をかれらに隱さん
19 Now therefore write this song for yourselves and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel.
然ば汝ら今この歌を書きイスラエルの子孫にこれを敎へてその口に念ぜしめ此歌をしてイスラエルの子孫にむかひて我の證とならしめよ
20 For when I will have brought them into the land that I swore to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, and when they have eaten and become satisfied and fat, then they will turn to other gods and they will serve them and they will despise me and they will break my covenant.
我かれらの先祖たちに誓ひし乳と蜜の流るる地にかれらを導きいらんに彼らは食ひて飽き肥太るにおよばば翻へりて他の神々に歸してこれに事へ我を軽んじ吾契約を破らん
21 When many evils and troubles come upon this people, this song will testify before them as a witness (for it will not be forgotten from the mouths of their descendants). For I know the plans that they are forming today, even before I have brought them into the land that I promised them.”
而して許多の災禍と艱難彼らに臨むにいたる時はこの歌かれらに對ひて證をなす者とならん其はこの歌かれらの口にありて忘るることなかるべければなり我いまだわが誓ひし地に彼らを導きいらざるに彼らは早く已に思ひ量る所あり我これを知ると
22 So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel.
モーセすなはちその日にこの歌を書てこれをイスラエルの子孫に敎へたり
23 Yahweh gave Joshua son of Nun a command and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you will bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
ヱホバまたヌンの子ヨシユアに命じて曰たまはく汝はイスラエルの子孫を我が其に誓ひし地に導きいるべきが故に心を強くしかつ勇め我なんぢとともに在べしと
24 It happened that when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book,
モーセこの律法の言をことごとく書に書しるすことを終たる時
25 that he commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and he said,
モーセ、ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビ人に命じて言けるは
26 “Take this book of the law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, so that it may be there as a witness against you.
この律法の書をとりて汝らの神ヱホバの契約の櫃の傍にこれを置き之をして汝にむかひて證をなす者たらしめよ
27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck; look, while I am still alive with you even today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; how much more after my death?
我なんぢの悖る事と頑梗なるとを知る見よ今日わが生存へて汝らとともにある間すら汝らはヱホバに悖れり况てわが死たる後においてをや
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, so that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
汝らの諸支派の長老等および牧伯たちを吾許に集めよ我これらの言をかれらに語り聞せ天と地とを呼てかれらに證をなさしめん
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves and turn aside out of the path that I have commanded you; disaster will come on you in the following days. This will happen because you will do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
我しる我が死たる後には汝ら必らず惡き事を行ひ我が汝らに命ぜし道を離れん而して後の日に災害なんぢらに臨まん是なんぢらヱホバの惡と觀たまふ事をおこなひ汝らの手の行爲をもてヱホバを怒らするによりてなり
30 Moses recited in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were finished.
かくてモーセ、イスラエルの全會衆にこの歌の言をことごとく語り聞せたり
