< Judges 7 >

1 Therfor Jerobaal, which also Gedeon, roos bi nyyt, and al the puple with hym, and cam to the welle which is clepid Arad. Sotheli the tentis of Madian weren in the valey, at the north coost of the hiy hil.
斯てヱルバアルと呼るるギデオンおよび之とともにあるすべての民朝夙に興きいでてハロデの井のほとりに陣を取るミデアン人の陣はかれらの北の方にあたりモレの山に沿ひ谷のうちにありき
2 And the Lord seide to Gedeon, Myche puple is with thee, and Madian schal not be bitakun in to the hondis `ther of, lest Israel haue glorie ayens me, and seie, Y am delyuerid bi my strengthis.
ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまひけるは汝とともに在る民は餘りに多ければ我その手にミデアン人を付さじおそらくはイスラエル我に向ひ自ら誇りていはん我わが手をもて己を救へりと
3 Speke thou to the puple, and preche thou, while alle men heren, He that is ferdful `in herte, and dredeful `with outforth, turne ayen. And thei yeden awei fro the hil of Galaad, and two and twenti thousynde of men turniden ayen fro the puple; and oneli ten thousynde dwelliden.
されば民の耳に告示していふべし誰にても懼れ慄くものはギレアデ山より歸り去るべしとここにおいて民のかへりしもの二萬二千人あり殘しものは一萬人なりき
4 And the Lord seide to Gedeon, Yet the puple is myche; lede thou hem to the watris, and there Y schal preue hem, and he go, of whom Y schal seye, that he go; turne he ayen, whom Y schal forbede to go.
ヱホバまたギデオンにいひたまひけるは民なほ多し之を導きて水際に下れ我かしこにて汝のために彼らを試みんおほよそ我が汝に告て此人は汝とともに行くべしといはんものはすなはち汝とともに行くべしまたおほよそ我汝に告て此人は汝とともに行くべからずといはんものはすなはち行くべからざるなり
5 And whanne the puple hadde go doun to watris, the Lord seide to Gedeon, Thou schalt departe hem bi hem silf, that lapen watris with hond and tunge, as doggis ben wont to lape; sotheli thei, that drynken with knees bowid, schulen be in the tothir part.
ギデオン民をみちびきて水際に下りしにヱホバ之にいひたまひけるはおほよそ犬の餂るがごとくその舌をもて水を餂るものは汝之を別けおくべしまたおほよそ其の膝を折り屈みて水を飮むものをも然すべしと
6 And so the noumbre of hem, that lapiden watris bi hond castynge to the mouth, was thre hundrid men; forsothe al the tothir multitude drank knelynge.
手を口にあてて水を餂しものの數は三百人なり餘の民は盡くその膝を折り屈みて水を飮り
7 And the Lord seide to Gedeon, In thre hundrid men, that lapiden watris, Y schal delyuere you, and Y schal bitake Madian in thin hond; but al the tothir multitude turne ayen in to her place.
ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまひけるは我水を餂たる三百人の者をもて汝らを救ひミデアン人を汝の手に付さん餘の民はおのおの其所に歸るべしと
8 And so whanne thei hadden take meetis and trumpis for the noumbre, he comaundide al the tothir multitude to go to her tabernaclis; and he, with thre hundrid men, yaf hym silf to batel. Sothely the tentis of Madian weren bynethe in the valey.
ここにおいて彼ら民の兵粮とその箛を手にうけとれりギデオンすなはちすべてのイスラエル人を各自その天幕に歸らせ彼の三百人を留めおけり時にミデアン人の陣はその下の谷のなかにありき
9 In the same nyyt the Lord seyde to hym, Ryse thou, and go doun in to `the castels of Madian, for Y haue bitake hem in thin hond;
その夜ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひたまはく起よ下りて敵陣に入るべし我之を汝の手に付すなり
10 sotheli if thou dredist to go aloon, Phara, thi child, go doun with thee.
されど汝もし下ることを怖れなば汝の僕フラを伴ひ陣所に下りて
11 And whanne thou schalt here what thei speken, thanne thin hondis schulen be coumfortid, and thou schalt do down sikerere to the tentis of enemyes. Therfor he yede doun, and Phara, his child, in to the part of tentis, where the watchis of armed men weren.
彼らのいふ所を聞べし然せば汝の手強くなりて汝敵陣にくだることを得んとギデオンすなはち僕フラとともに下りて陣中にある隊伍のほとりに至るに
12 Forsothe Madian, and Amalech, and alle the puplis of the eest layen spred in the valey, as the multitude of locustis; sotheli the camelis weren vnnoumbrable, as grauel that liggith in the `brenke of the see.
ミデアン人アマレク人およびすべて東方の民は蝗蟲のごとくに數衆く谷のうちに堰しをりその駱駝は濱の砂の多きがごとくにして數ふるに勝ず
13 And whanne Gedeon hadde come, a man tolde a dreem to his neiybore, and telde bi this maner that, that he hadde seyn, I siy a dreem, and it semyde to me, that as `o loof of barly bakun vndur the aischis was walewid, and cam doun in to the tentis of Madian; and whanne it hadde come to a tabernacle, it smoot and distriede `that tabernacle, and made euene outirly to the erthe.
ギデオン其處に至りしに或人その伴侶に夢を語りて居りすなはちいふ我夢を見たりしが夢に大麥のパンひとつミデアンの陣中に轉びいりて天幕に至り之をうち仆し覆したれば天幕倒れ臥せり
14 That man answeride, to whom he spak, This is noon other thing, no but the swerd of Gedeon, `sone of Joas, a man of Israel; for the Lord hath bitake Madian and alle `tentis therof in to the hondis of Gedeon.
其の伴侶答へていふ是イスラエルの人ヨアシの子ギデオンの劍に外ならず神ミデアンとすべての陣營を之が手に付したまふなりと
15 And whanne Gedeon had herd the dreem, and `the interpretyng therof, he worschypide the Lord, and turnede ayen to the tentis of Israel, and seide, Ryse ye; for the Lord hath bitake in to oure hondis the tentis of Madian.
ギデオン夢の説話とその解釋を聞しかば拜をなしてイスラエルの陣所にかへりいひけるは起よヱホバ汝らの手にミデアンの陣をわたしたまふと
16 And he departide thre hundrid men in to thre partis, and he yaf trumpis in her hondis, and voyde pottis, and laumpis in the myddis of the pottis.
かくて三百人を三隊にわかち手に手に箛および空瓶を取せその瓶のなかに燈火をおかしめ
17 And he seide to hem, Do ye this thing which ye seen me do; Y schal entre in to a part of the tentis, and sue ye that, that Y do.
これにいひけるは我を視てわが爲すところにならへ我が敵陣の邊に至らんときに爲すごとく汝らも爲すべし
18 Whanne the trumpe in myn hond schal sowne, sowne ye also `bi the cumpas of tentis, and crye ye togidere, To the Lord and to Gedeon.
我およびわれとともに在るものすべて箛を吹ば汝らもまたすべて陣營の四方にて箛を吹き此ヱホバのためなりギデオンのためなりといへと
19 And Gedeon entride, and thre hundrid men that weren with hym, `in to a part of the tentis, whanne the watchis of mydnyyt bigunnen; and whanne the keperis weren reysid, thei bigunnen to sowne with trumpis, and to bete togidere the pottis among hem silf.
而してギデオンおよび之とともなる百人中更の初に陣營の邊に至るにをりしも番兵を更代たるときなりければ箛を吹き手に携へたる瓶をうちくだけり
20 And whanne thei sowneden in thre places bi cumpas, and hadden broke the pottis, thei helden laumpis in the left hondis, and sownynge trumpis in the riyt hondis; and thei crieden, The swerd of the Lord and of Gedeon; and stoden alle in her place,
即ち三隊の兵隊箛を吹き瓶をうちくだき左の手には燈火を執り右の手には箛をもちて之を吹きヱホバの劍ギデオンの劍なるぞと叫べり
21 `bi the cumpas of the tentis of enemyes. And so alle `the tentis weren troblid; and thei crieden, and yelliden, and fledden;
かくておのおのその持塲に立ち陣營を取り圍みたれば敵軍みな走り叫びてにげゆけり
22 and neuertheles the thre hundrid men contynueden, sownynge with trumpis. And the Lord sente swerd in alle the castels, and thei killiden hem silf bi deeth ech other;
三百人のもの箛を吹くにあたりヱホバ敵軍をしてみなたがひに同士撃せしめたまひければ敵軍にげはしりてゼレラのベテシツダ、アベルメホラの境およびタバテに至る
23 and thei fledden `til to Bethsecha, and bi the side, fro Elmonla in to Thebbath. Sotheli men of Israel crieden togidere, of Neptalym, and of Aser, and of alle Manasses, and pursueden Madian; and the Lord yaf victorie to the puple of Israel in that day.
イスラエルの人々すなはちナフタリ、アセルおよびマナセ中より集ひ來りてミデアン人を追撃り
24 And Gedeon sente messangeris in to al the hil of Effraym, and seide, Come ye doun ayens the comyng of Madian, and ocupie ye the watris `til to Bethbera and Jordan. And al Effraym criede, and bifore ocupide the watris and Jordan `til to Bethbera.
ギデオン使者をあまねくエフライムの山に遣していはせけるは下りてミデアン人を攻めベタバラにいたる渡口およびヨルダンを遮斷るべしと是においてエフライムの人盡く集ひ來りてベタバラにいたる渡口およびヨルダンを取り
25 And Effraym killide twei men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb; he killide Oreb in the ston of Oreb, forsothe `he killide Zeb in the pressour of Zeb; and `thei pursueden Madian, and baren the heedis of Oreb and of Zeb to Gedeon, ouer the flodis of Jordan.
ミデアン人の君主オレブとゼエブの二人を俘へてオレブをばオレブ砦の上に殺しゼエブをばゼエブの酒搾のほとりに殺しまたミデアン人を追撃ちオレブとゼエブの首を携へてヨルダンの彼方よりギデオンの許にいたる
