< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, he will drive out many nations before you—the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—seven nations greater and mightier than you.
汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲べきところの地に汝を導きいり多の國々の民ヘテ人ギルガシ人アモリ人カナン人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人など汝よりも數多くして力ある七の民を汝の前より逐はらひたまはん時
2 It is Yahweh your God who gives them over to you when you defeat them, and then you must completely destroy them. You will make no covenant with them, and show them no mercy.
すなはち汝の神ヱホバかれらを汝に付して汝にこれを撃せたまはん時は汝かれらをことごとく滅すべし彼らと何の契約をもなすべからず彼らを憫むべからず
3 Neither will you arrange any marriages with them. You will not give your daughters to their sons, and you will not take their daughters for your sons.
また彼らと婚姻をなすべからず汝の女子を彼の男子に與ふべからず彼の女子を汝の男子に娶るべからず
4 For they will turn away your sons from following me, so that they may worship other gods. So the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly.
其は彼ら汝の男子を惑はして我を離れしめ之をして他の神々に事へしむるありてヱホバこれがために汝らにむかひて怒を發し俄然に汝を滅したまふにいたるべければなり
5 This is how you will deal with them: You will break down their altars, dash their stone pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their cast idols.
汝らは反て斯かれらに行ふべし即ちかれらの壇を毀ちその偶像を打擢きそのアシラ像を斫たふし火をもてその雕像を焚べし
6 For you are a nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God. He has chosen you to be a people for him to possess, more than all the other peoples that are on the face of the earth.
其は汝は汝の神ヱホバの聖民なればなり汝の神ヱホバは地の面の諸の民の中より汝を擇びて己の寶の民となしたまへり
7 Yahweh did not set his love upon you or choose you because you were more in number than any people—for you were the fewest of all peoples—
ヱホバの汝らを愛し汝らを擇びたまひしは汝らが萬の民よりも數多かりしに因にあらず汝らは萬の民の中にて最も小き者なればなり
8 but because he loves you, and he wished to keep the oath that he had sworn to your fathers. This is why Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
但ヱホバ汝らを愛するに因りまた汝らの先祖等に誓し誓を保たんとするに因てヱホバ強き手をもて汝らを導きいだし汝らを其奴隸たりし家よりエジプトの王パロの手より贖ひいだしたまへるなり
9 Therefore know that Yahweh your God—he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenants and faithfulness for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
汝知べし汝の神ヱホバは神にましまし眞實の神にましまして之を愛しその誡命を守る者には契約を保ち恩惠をほどこして千代にいたり
10 but repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not be lenient on whoever hates him; he will repay him to his face.
また之を惡む者には覿面にその報をなしてこれを滅ぼしたまふヱホバは己を惡む者には緩ならず覿面にこれに報いたまふなり
11 You will therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the decrees that I command you today, so that you will do them.
然ば汝わが今日汝に命ずるところの誡命と法度と律法とを守りてこれを行ふべし
12 If you listen to these decrees, and keep and do them, it will happen that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the faithfulness that he swore to your fathers.
汝らもし是らの律法を聽きこれを守り行はば汝の神ヱホバ汝の先祖等に誓ひし契約を保ちて汝に恩惠をほどこしたまはん
13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the multiplication of your cattle and the young of your flocks, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
即ち汝を愛し汝を惠み汝の數を増したまひその昔なんぢに與へんと汝らの先祖等に誓たりし地において汝の兒女をめぐみ汝の地の產物穀物酒油等を殖し汝の牛の產汝の羊の產を増たまふべし
14 You will be blessed more than all other peoples; there will not be a childless male or a barren female among you or among your cattle.
汝は惠まるること萬の民に愈らん汝らの中および汝らの家畜の中には男も女も子なき者は無るべし
15 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; none of the evil diseases of Egypt that you have known will he put on you, but he will put them on all those who hate you.
ヱホバまた諸の疾病を汝の身より除きたまひ汝らが知る彼のエジプトの惡き病を汝の身に臨ましめず但汝を惡む者に之を臨ませたまふべし
16 You will consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God will give over to you, and your eye will not pity them. You will not worship their gods, for that will be a trap for you.
汝は汝の神ヱホバの汝に付したまはんところの民をことごとく滅しつくすべし彼らを憫み見べからずまた彼らの神に事ふべからずその事汝の罟となればなり
17 If you say in your heart, 'These nations are more numerous than I; how can I dispossess them?'—
汝是らの民は我よりも衆ければ我いかでか之を逐はらふことを得んと心に謂ふか
18 do not be afraid of them; you will call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;
汝かれらを懼るるなかれ汝の神ヱホバがパロとエジプトに爲たまひしところの事を善く憶えよ
19 the great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out. Yahweh your God will do the same to all the peoples whom you fear.
即ち汝が眼に見たる大なる試煉と徴證と奇蹟と強き手と伸たる腕とを憶えよ汝の神ヱホバこれをもて汝を導き出したまへり是のごとく汝の神ヱホバまた汝が懼るる一切の民に爲たまふべし
20 Moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left and who hide themselves from you perish from your presence.
即ち汝の神ヱホバ黄蜂を彼らの中に遣りて終に彼らの遺れる者と汝の面を避て匿れたる者とを滅したまはん
21 You will not be frightened at them, for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and fearsome God.
汝かれらを懼るる勿れ其は汝の神ヱホバ能力ある畏るべき神汝らの中にいませばなり
22 Yahweh your God will drive out those nations before you little by little. You will not defeat them all at once, or the wild animals would become very many around you.
汝の神ヱホバ是等の國人を漸々に汝の前より逐はらひたまはん汝は急速に彼らを滅しつくす可らず恐くは野の獣殖て汝に逼らん
23 But Yahweh your God will give you victory over them when you meet them in battle; he will greatly confuse them until they are destroyed.
汝の神ヱホバかれらを汝に付し大にこれを惶れ慄かしめて終にこれを滅し盡し
24 He will put their kings under your power, and you will make their name perish from under heaven. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
彼らの王等を汝の手に付したまはん汝かれらの名を天が下より削るべし汝には當ることを得る者なくして汝つひに之を滅ぼし盡すに至らん
25 You will burn the carved figures of their gods—do not covet the silver or the gold that covers them and take it for yourself, because if you do, you will become trapped by it—for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
汝かれらの神の雕像を火にて焚べし之に著せたる銀あるひは金を貧るべからず之を己に取べからず恐くは汝これに因て罟にかからん是は汝の神ヱホバの憎みたまふ者なれば也
26 You will not bring any abomination into your house and start to worship it. You will utterly detest and abhor it, for it is set apart for destruction.
憎むべき物を汝の家に携へいるべからず恐くは汝も其ごとくに詛はるる者とならん汝これを大に忌み痛く嫌ふべし是は詛ふべき者なればなり
