Joshua 8
1 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
茲にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ軍人をことごとく率ゐ起てアイに攻のぼれ視よ我アイの王およびその民その邑その地を都て汝の手に授く
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king, as thou didst to Jericho and her king: only its spoil, and its cattle, shall ye take for a prey to yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
汝さきにヱリコとその王とに爲し如くアイとその王とに爲べし今回は其貨財およびその家畜を奪ひて自ら取べし汝まづ邑の後に伏兵を設くべしと
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
ヨシユアすなはち起あがり軍人をことごとく將てアイに攻のぼらんとしまづ大勇士三萬人を選びて夜の中にこれを遣はせり
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
ヨシユアこれに命じて言く汝らは邑に對ひて邑の後に伏すべし邑に遠く離れをる勿れ皆準備をなして待をれ
5 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
我と我に從がふ民みな共に邑に攻よせん而して彼らが初のごとく我らにむかひて打出んとき我らは彼らの前より逃はしらん
6 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
然せば彼ら我らを追て出來べければ我等つひに之を邑より誘き出すことを得ん其は彼等いはんこの人衆は初めのごとくまた我等の前より逃ぐと斯てわれらその前より逃はしらん
7 Then ye shall rise from the ambush and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand,
汝らその伏をる處より起りて邑を取べし汝らの神ヱホバ之を汝らの手に付したまふべし
8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
汝ら邑を乗取たらば邑に火を放ちヱホバの言詞の如く爲べし我これを汝らに命ず努よやと
9 Joshua therefore sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
かくてヨシユアかれらを遣はしければ即はち往てアイの西の方にてベテルとアイとの間に身を伏せたりヨシユアはその夜民の中に宿れり
10 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
ヨシユア朝はやく興いでて民をあつめイスラエルの長老等とともに民に先だちてアイにのぼりゆけり
11 And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.
彼に從がふ軍人ことごとく上りゆきて攻寄せ邑の前に至りてアイの北に陣をとれり彼とアイの間には一の谷ありき
12 And he took about five thousand men; and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
ヨシユア五千人許を擧て邑の西の方にてベテルとアイとの間にこれを伏せおけり
13 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
かく民の全軍を邑の北に置きその伏兵を邑の西に置てヨシユアその夜谷の中にいりぬ
14 And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted and rose early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain: but he knew not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.
アイの王これを視しかばその邑の人々みな急ぎて蚤に起き進み出てイスラエルと戰ひけるが預て諜しあはせ置る頃には王とその一切の民アラバの前に進み來れり王は邑の後に伏兵ありて已を伺ふを知らざりき
15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
時にヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人とともに彼らに打負し状して荒野の路を指て逃はしりしかば
16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
その邑の民みな之を追撃んとて呼はり集まりヨシユアの後を追て邑を出離れ
17 And there was not a man left in Ai, or Beth-el that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued Israel.
アイにもベテルにもイスラエルを追ゆかずして遺りをる者は一人もなく皆邑を開き放してイスラエルの後を追り
18 And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy hand towards Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand towards the city.
時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまはく汝の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸よ我これを汝の手に授くべしとヨシユアすなはち己の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸るに
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted, and set the city on fire.
伏兵たちまち其處より起りヨシユアが手を伸ると齊しく奔きたりて邑に打いり之を取りて直に邑に火をかけたり
20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
茲にアイの人々背をふりかへりて觀しに邑の焚る煙天に立騰りゐたれば此へも彼へも逃るに術なかりき斯る機しも荒野に逃ゆける民も身をかへして其追きたる者等に逼れり
21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again and slew the men of Ai.
ヨシユアおよび一切のイスラエル人伏兵の邑を取て邑の焚る煙の立騰るを見身を還してアイの人々を殺しけるが
22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
かの兵また邑より出きたりて彼らに向ひければ彼方にも此方にもイスラエル人ありて彼らはその中間に挾まれぬイスラエル人かくして彼らを攻撃て一人をも餘さず逃さず
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
つひにアイの王を生擒てヨシユアの許に曳きたれり
24 And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
イスラエル人己を荒野に追きたりしアイの民をことごとく野に殺し刃をもてこれを仆し盡すにおよびて皆アイに歸り刃をもてこれを撃ほろぼせり
25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.
その日アイの人々ことごとく斃れたりその數男女あはせて一萬二千人
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
ヨシユア、アイの民をことごとく滅ぼし絶まではその矛を指伸たる手を垂ざりき
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
但しその邑の家畜および貨財はイスラエル人これを奪ひて自ら取り是はヱホバのヨシユアに命じたまひし言に依なり
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, [even] a desolation to this day.
ヨシユア、アイを燬て永くこれを墟垤とならしむ是は今日まで荒地となりをる
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise upon it a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] to this day.
ヨシユアまたアイの王を薄暮まで木に掛てさらし日の沒におよびて命じてその死骸を木より取おろさしめ邑の門の入口にこれを投すて其上に石の大垤を積おこせり其は今日まで存る
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
かくてヨシユア、エバル山にてイスラエルの神ヱホバに一の壇を築けり
31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up [any] iron: and they offered upon it burnt-offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
是はヱホバの僕モーセがイスラエルの子孫に命ぜしことに本づきモーセの律法の書に記されたる所に循がひて新石をもて作れる壇にて何人も鐵器をその上に振あげず人衆その上にてヱホバに燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を供ふ
32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
彼處にてヨシユア、モーセの書しるしし律法をイスラエルの子孫の前にて石に書うつせり
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark, and on that side, before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
かくてイスラエルの一切の人およびその長老官吏裁判人など他國の者も本國の者も打まじりてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等レビ人の前にあたりて櫃の此旁と彼旁に分れ半はゲリジム山の前に半はエバル山の前に立り是ヱホバの僕モーセの命ぜし所にしたがひて最初に先イスラエルの民を祝せんとてなり
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
然る後ヨシユア律法の書に凡てしるされたる所に循ひて祝福と呪詛とにかかはる律法の言をことごとく誦り
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
モーセの命じたる一切の言の中にヨシユアがイスラエルの全會衆および婦人子等ならびにイスラエルの中にをる他國の人の前にて誦ざるは無りき
