1 In tho daies was no kyng in Israel; and the lynage of Dan souyte possessioun to it silf, to dwelle ther ynne; for `til to that dai it hadde not take eritage among other lynagis.
當時イスラエルには王なかりしがダン人の支派其頃住むべき地を求めたり是は彼らイスラエルの支派の中にありて其日まで未だ産業の地を得ざりしが故なり
2 Therfor the sones of Dan senten fyue the strongeste men of her generacioun and meynee fro Saraa and Escahol, that thei schulden aspie the lond, and biholde diligentli. And thei seiden to hem, Go ye, and biholde the lond. And whanne thei goynge hadden come in to the hil of Effraym, and hadden entrid in to the hows of Mycha, thei restiden there.
ダンの子孫すなはちゾラとエシタオルよりして自己の族の勇者五人を遣はしその境を出て土地を窺ひ探らしむ即ち彼等に言ふ往て土地を探れと彼等エフライムの山にいたりミカの家につきて其處に宿れり
3 And thei knewen the voys of the yong wexynge dekene; and thei restiden in `the yn of hym, and seiden to hym, Who brouyte thee hidur? What doist thou here? For what cause woldist thou come hidur?
かれらミカの家の傍にある時レビ人なる少者の聲を聞認たれば身をめぐらして其處にいりて之に言ふ誰が汝を此に携きたりしや汝此處にて何をなすや此に何の用あるや
4 Which answeride `to hem, Mychas yaf to me these and these thingis, and hiride me for meede, that Y be preest to hym.
其人かれらに言けるはミカ斯々我を待ひ我を雇ひて我その祭司となれりと
5 Forsothe thei preieden hym, that he schulde counsele the Lord, and thei myyten wite, whether thei yeden in weie of prosperite, and the thing schulde haue effect.
彼等これに言ふ請ふ神に問ひ我等が往くところの途に利逹あるや否を我等にしらしめよ
6 Which answeride to hem, Go ye with pees, the Lord biholdith youre weie, and the iourney whidur ye goon.
その祭司かれらに言けるは安んじて往よ汝らが往ところの途はヱホバの前にあるなりと
7 Therfor the fyue men yeden, and camen to Lachys; and thei siyen the puple dwellynge ther ynne with outen ony drede, bi the custom of Sidonyis, sikur and resteful, for no man outirli ayenstood hem, and `of grete richessis, and fer fro Sidon, and departid fro alle men.
是に於て五人の者往てライシに至り其處に住る人民を視るに顧慮なく住ひをり其安穩にして安固なることシドン人のごとし此國には政權を握りて人を煩はす者絶てあらず其シドン人と隔たること遠くまた他の人民と交ることなし
8 And thei turneden ayen to her britheren in Saraa and Escahol; and thei answeriden to `britheren axynge what thei hadden do,
斯て彼等ゾラとエシタオルに返りてその兄弟等にいたるに兄弟等如何なりしやと彼等に問ければ
9 Rise ye, and stie we to hem, for we siyen the lond ful riche and plenteuous; nyle ye be necgligent, nil ye ceesse, go we, and haue it in possessioun;
答て言ふ起よ彼等の所に攻のぼらん我等その地を見るに甚だ善し汝等は安んじをるなり進みいたりてその地を取ることを怠るなかれ
10 no trauel schal be; we schulen entre to sikir men, in to a largeste cuntrey; and the Lord schal bitake to vs a place, wher ynne is not pouert of ony thing of tho that ben brouyt forth in erthe.
汝等往ば安固なる人民の所に至らんその地は堅横ともに廣し神これを汝らの手に與へたまふなり此處には世にある物一箇も缺ることあらず
11 Therfor sixe hundrid men gird with armeris of batel yeden forth `of the kynrede of Dan, that is, fro Saraa and Escahol.
是に於てダン人の族の者六百人武器を帶てゾラとエシタオルより出ゆき
12 And thei stieden, and dwelliden in Cariathiarym of Juda, which place took fro that tyme the name of Castels of Dan, and is bihyndis the bak of Cariathiarym.
上りてユダのキリヤテヤリムに陣を張り是をもてその處をマハネダンと名けしがその名今日に存る是はキリヤテヤリムの後にあり
13 Fro thennus thei passiden in to the hil of Effraym; and whanne thei hadden come to the hows of Mychas, the fyue men,
彼等其處よりエフライム山に進みミカの家に至りけるに
14 that weren sent bifore to biholde the lond of Lachis, seiden to her other britheren, Ye knowen, that ephod, and theraphyn, and a grauun ymage and yotun is in these housis; se ye what plesith you.
夫のライシの國を窺ひに往たりし五人の者その兄弟等に告て言けるは是等の家にはエポデ、テラピムおよび雕める像と鑄たる像あるを汝等知や然ば汝ら今その爲べきことを考へよと
15 And whanne thei hadden bowid a litil, thei entriden in to the hows of the yong dekene, that was in the hows of Mychas, and thei gretten hym with pesible wordis.
乃ち其方に身をめぐらして夫のレビ人の少者の家なるミカの家に至りてその安否を問けるが
16 Forsothe sixe hundrid men stoden bifore the dore, so as thei weren armed. And thei, that entriden in to the `hows of the yong man, enforsiden to take awey the grauun ymage, and the ephod, and theraphin, and the yotun ymage; and the preest stood bifore the dore,
武器を帶たる六百人のダンの子孫は門の入口に立り
17 while sixe hundrid strongeste men abideden not fer.
夫の土地を窺ひに往たりし五人の者上りて其處にいりその雕める像とエポデとテラピムおよび鑄たる像を取けるが祭司は武器を帶たる六百人の者とともに門の入口に立ゐたり
18 Therfor thei that entriden token the grauun ymage, ephod, and idols, and the yotun ymage; to whiche the preest seide, What doen ye?
此人々ミカの家にいりて其雕める像とエポデとテラピムと鑄たる像とを取しかば祭司かれらに汝ら何をなすやと言ふに
19 To whom thei answeriden, Be thou stille, and putte the fyngur on thi mouth, and come with vs, that we haue thee fadir and preest. What is betere to thee, that thou be preest in the hows of o man, whether in o lynage and meynee in Israel?
彼等これに言けるは汝默せよ汝手を口にあてて我らとともに來り我らの父とも祭司ともなれよかし一人の家の祭司たるとイスラエルの一の支派一の族の祭司たるとは何か好や
20 And whanne he hadde herd this, he assentide to `the wordis of hem, and he took the ephod, and ydols, and the grauun ymage, and yede forth with hem.
祭司すなはち心に悦びてエポデとテラピムと雕める像とを取て民の中に入る
21 And whanne thei yeden, and hadden maad the litle children, and werk beestis, and al thing that was preciouse, to go bifor hem;
斯てかれら身をめぐらしその子女と家畜と財寳を前にたてて進みしが
22 and whanne thei weren now fer fro `the hows of Mychas, men that dwelliden in the housis of Mychas, crieden togidere, and sueden,
ミカの家を遙かに離れし時ミカの家に近きところの家の人々呼はり集てダンの子孫に追ひつき
23 and bigunnun to crye `aftir the bak. Whiche whanne thei hadden biholde, seiden to Mychas, What wolt thou to thee? whi criest thou?
ダンの子孫を呼たれば彼等回顧てミカに言ふ汝何事ありて集りしや
24 Which answeride, Ye han take awey my goddis whiche Y made to me, and the preest, and alle thingis whiche Y haue; and ye seien, What is to thee?
かれら言けるは汝らはわが造れる神々および祭司を奪ひさりたれば我尚何かあらん然るに汝等何ぞ我にむかひて何事ぞやと言や
25 And the sones of Dan seiden to hym, Be war, lest thou speke more to vs, and men styrid in soule come to thee, and thou perische with al thin hows.
ダンの子孫かれに言けるは汝の聲を我らの中に聞えしむるなかれ恐くは心の荒き人々汝に撃かかるありて汝おのれの生命と家族の生命とを失ふにいたらんと
26 And so thei yeden forth in the iourney bigunnun. Forsothe Mychas siy, that thei weren strongere than he, and turnede ayen in to his hows.
而してダンの子孫進みゆきけるがミカは彼らが己よりも強きを見て身をめぐらして家に返れり
27 Forsothe sixe hundrid men token the preest, and the thingis whiche we biforseiden, and camen in to Lachis to the puple restynge and sikur; and thei smytiden hem bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and bitoken the citee to brennyng,
彼等ミカが造りし者とその有し祭司をとりてライシにおもむき平穩にして安樂なる民の所にいたり刃をもて之を撃ち火をもてその邑を燬たりしが
28 while no man outirli yaf help, for thei dwelliden fer fro Sydon, and hadden not ony thing of felouschipe and cause with ony of men. Forsothe the citee was set in the cuntrei of Roob; which citee thei bildiden eft, and dwelliden ther ynne;
其シドンと隔たること遠きが上に他の人民と交際ざりしによりて之を救ふ者なかりきその邑はベテレホブの邊の谷にあり彼ら邑を建なほして其處に住み
29 while the name of the citee was clepid Dan, bi the name of her fadir, whom Israel hadde gendrid, which citee was seid Lachis bifore.
イスラエルの生たるその先祖ダンの名にしたがひて其邑の名をダンと名けたりその邑の名は本はライシなりき
30 And `thei settiden there the grauun ymage, and Jonathas, sone of Jerson, sone of Moises, and `Jonathas sones, preestis, in the lynage of Dan, til in to the dai of her caitifte.
斯てダンの子孫その雕める像を安置りモーセの子なるゲルシヨムの子ヨナタンとその子孫ダンの支派の祭司となりて國の奪はるる時にまでおよべり
31 And the idol of Mychas dwellide at hem, in al the tyme `in which the hows of God was in Silo. In tho daies was no kyng in Israel.
神の家のシロにありし間恒に彼等はミカが造りしかの雕める像を安置おきぬ
