Exodus 23
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
汝虚妄の風説を言ふらすべからず惡き人と手をあはせて人を誣る證人となるべからず
2 “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
汝衆の人にしたがひて惡をなすべからず訴訟において答をなすに方りて衆の人にしたがひて道を曲べからず
3 You shall not favour a poor man in his cause.
汝また貧き人の訴訟を曲て庇くべからず
4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
汝もし汝の敵の牛あるひは驢馬の迷ひ去に遭ばかならずこれを牽てその人に歸すべし
5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
汝もし汝を惡む者の驢馬のその負の下に仆れ臥すを見ば愼みてこれを遺さるべからず必ずこれを助けてその負を釋べし
6 “You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
汝貧き者の訴訟ある時にその判決を曲べからず
7 “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
虚假の事に遠かれ無辜者と義者とはこれを殺すなかれ我は惡き者を義とすることあらざるなり
8 “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
汝賄賂を受べからず賄賂は人の目を暗まし義者の言を曲しむるなり
9 “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
他國の人を虐ぐべからず汝等はエジプトの國にをる時は他國の人にてありたれば他國の人の心を知なり
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
汝六年の間汝の地に種播きその實を穫いるべし
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
但し第七年にはこれを息ませて耕さずにおくべし而して汝の民の貧き者に食ふことを得せしめよ其餘れる者は野の獣これを食はん汝の葡萄園も橄欖園も斯のごとくなすべし
12 “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
汝六日の間汝の業をなし七日に息むべし斯汝の牛および驢馬を息ませ汝の婢の子および他國の人をして息をつかしめよ
13 “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.
わが汝に言し事に凡て心を用ひよ他の神々の名を稱ふべからずまた之を汝の口より聞えしめざれ
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
汝年に三度わがために節筵を守るべし
15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
汝無酵パンの節禮をまもるべし即ちわが汝に命ぜしごとくアビブの月の定の時において七日の間酵いれぬパンを食ふべし其はその月に汝エジプトより出たればなり徒手にてわが前に出る者あるべからず
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labours, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labours out of the field.
また穡時の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝が勞苦て田野に播る者の初の實を祝ふなり又収蔵の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝の勞苦によりて成る者を年の終に田野より収蔵る者なり
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
汝の男たる者は皆年に三次主ヱホバの前に出べし
18 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
汝わが犠牲の血を酵いれしパンとともに献ぐべからず又わが節筵の脂を翌朝まで殘しおくべからず
19 You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of the LORD your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
汝の地に初に結べる實の初を汝の神ヱホバの室に持きたるべし汝山羊羔をその母の乳にて煮べからず
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
視よ我天の使をかはして汝に先たせ途にて汝を守らせ汝をわが備へし處に導かしめん
21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
汝等その前に愼みをりその言にしたがへ之を怒らするなかれ彼なんぢらの咎を赦さざるべしわが名かれの中にあればなり
22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
汝もし彼が言にしたがひ凡てわが言ところを爲ば我なんぢの敵の敵となり汝の仇の仇となるべし
23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
わが使汝にさきだちゆきて汝をアモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人カナン人ヒビ人およびヱブス人に導きたらん我かれらを絶べし
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
汝かれらの神を拝むべからずこれに奉事べからず彼らの作にならふなかれ汝其等を悉く毀ちその偶像を打摧くべし
25 You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from amongst you.
汝等の神ヱホバに事へよ然ばヱホバ汝らのパンと水を祝し汝らの中より疾病を除きたまはん
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfil the number of your days.
汝の國の中には流產する者なく妊ざる者なかるべし我汝の日の數を盈さん
27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
我わが畏懼をなんぢの前に遣し汝が至るところの民をことごとく敗り汝の諸の敵をして汝に後を見せしめん
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
吾黄蜂を汝の先につかはさん是ヒビ人カナン人およびヘテ人を汝の前より逐はらふべし
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
我かれらを一年の中には汝の前より逐はらはじ恐くは土地荒れ野の獣増て汝を害せん
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
我漸々にかれらを汝の前より逐はらはん汝らは遂に増てその地を獲にいたらん
31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
我なんぢの境をさだめて紅海よりペリシテ人の海にいたらせ曠野より河にいたらしめん我この地に住る者を汝の手に付さん汝かれらを汝の前より逐はらふべし
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
汝かれらおよび彼らの神と何の契約をもなすべからず
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
彼らは汝の國に住べきにあらず恐くは彼ら汝をして我に罪を犯さしめん汝もし彼等の神に事なばその事かならず汝の機檻となるべきなり
