< Nehemiah 6 >
1 Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballath hadde herd, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie, and oure other enemyes, that Y hadde bildide the wal, and nomore brekyng was therynne; sotheli `til to that tyme Y hadde not set leeuys of schittyng in the yatis;
サンバラテ、トビヤおよびアラビヤ人ガシムならびにその餘の我らの敵我が石垣を築き終りて一の破壊も遺らずと聞り(然どその時は未だ門に扉を設けざりしなり)
2 Sanaballath, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie senten to me, and seiden, Come thou, and smyte we boond of pees in calues, `in o feeld; forsothe thei thouyten for to do yuel to me.
是においてサンバラテとガシム我に言つかはしけるは來れ我らオノの平野なる某の村にて相會せんとその實は我を害せんと思ひしなり
3 Therfor Y sente messangeris to hem, and Y seide, Y make a greet werk, and Y mai not go doun, lest perauenture it be doon retchelesli, whanne Y come, and go doun to you.
我すなはち使者を彼らに遣はして言らく我は大なる工事をなし居れば下りゆくことを得ずなんぞ工事を離れ汝らの所に下りゆきてその間工事を休ますべけんやと
4 Sotheli thei senten to me `bi this word bi foure tymes, and Y answeride to hem by the formere word.
彼ら四次まで是のごとく我に言遣はしけるが我は何時もかくのごとく之に答へたり
5 And Sanaballath sente to me the fyuethe tyme bi the formere word his child; and he hadde in his hond a pistle writun in this maner;
是においてサンバラテまた五次目にその僕を前のごとく我に遣はせり其手には封ぜざる書を携さふ
6 It is herd among hethene men, and Gosem seide, that thou and the Jewis thenken for to rebelle, and therfor ye bilden, and thou wolt `reise thee king on hem;
その文に云く國々にて言博ふガシムもまた然いふ汝はユダヤ人とともに叛かんとして之がために石垣を築けり而して汝はその王とならんとすとその言ところ是のごとし
7 for which cause also thou hast set profetis, that prechen of thee in Jerusalem, and seien, A king is in Jerusalem; the king schal here these wordis; therfor come thou now, that we take counsel togidere.
また汝は預言者を設けて汝の事をヱルサレムに宣しめユダに王ありと言しむといひ傳ふ恐くはその事この言のごとく王に聞えん然ば汝いま來れ我ら共に相議らんと
8 And Y sente to hem, and seide, It is not doon bi these wordis whiche thou spekist; for of thin herte thou makist these thingis.
我すなはち彼に言つかはしけるは汝が言るごとき事を爲し事なし惟なんぢ之を己の心より作りいだせるなりと
9 Alle these men maden vs aferd, and thouyten that oure hondis schulden ceesse fro werkis, that we schulden reste; for which cause Y coumfortide more myn hond.
彼らは皆われらを懼れしめんとせり彼ら謂らく斯なさば彼ら手弱りて工事を息べければ工事成ざるべしと今ねがはくは我手を強くしたまへ
10 And Y entride priueli in to the hows of Samaie, sone of Dalie, the sone of Methabehel, which seide, Trete we with vs silf in the hows of God, in the myddis of the temple, and close we the yatis of the hows; for thei schulen come to sle thee, `and thei schulen come `bi niyt to sle thee.
かくて後我メヘタベルの子デラヤの子シマヤの家に往しに彼閉こもり居て言らく我ら神の室に到りて神殿の内に相會し神殿の戸を閉おかん彼ら汝を殺さんとて來るべければなり必ず夜のうちに汝を殺さんとて來るべしと
11 And Y seide, Whether ony man lijk me fledde, and who as Y schal entre in to the temple, and schal lyue?
我言けるは我ごとき人いかで逃べけんや我ごとき身にして誰か神殿に入て生命を全うすることを爲んや我は入じと
12 Y schal not entre. And Y vndurstood that God `hadde not sent hym, but `he spak as profesiynge to me; and Tobie and Sanaballath `hadden hirid hym for meede.
我暁れるに神かれを遣はしたまひしに非ず彼が我にむかひて此預言を説しはトビヤとサンバラテ彼に賄賂したればなり
13 For he hadde take prijs, that Y schulde be aferd, and do, and that Y schulde do synne; and thei schulden haue yuel, which thei schulden putte to me with schenschip.
彼に賄賂せしは此事のためなり即ち我をして懼れて然なして罪を犯さしめ惡き名を我に負する種を得て我を辱しめんとてなりき
14 Lord, haue mynde of me, for Tobye and Sanaballath, bi siche werkis `of hem; but also of Noadie, the profete, and of othere profetis, that maden me aferd.
わが神よトビヤ、サンバラテおよび女預言者ノアデヤならびにその他の預言者など凡て我を懼れしめんとする者等を憶えてその行爲に報をなしたまへ
15 Forsothe the wal was fillid in the fyue and twentithe dai of the monethe Ebul, in two and fifti daies.
石垣は五十二日を歴てエルルの月の二十五日に成就せり
16 Sotheli it was doon, whanne alle oure enemyes hadden herd, that alle hethene men dredden, that weren in oure cumpas, and thei felden doun with ynne hem silf, and wiste, that this work was maad of God.
我らの敵皆これを聞ければ我らの周圍の異邦人は凡て怖れ大に面目をうしなへり其は彼等この工事は我らの神の爲たまひし者なりと暁りたればなり
17 But also in tho daies many pistlis of the principal men of Jewis weren sent to Tobie, and camen fro Tobie to hem.
其頃ユダの貴き人々しばしば書をトビヤにおくれりトビヤの書もまた彼らに來れり
18 For many men weren in Judee, and hadden his ooth; for he hadde weddid the douyter of Sechenye, the sone of Rotel; and Johannam, his sone, hadde take the douyter of Mosallam, sone of Barachie.
トビヤはアラの子シカニヤの婿なるをもてユダの中に彼と盟を結べる者多かりしが故なりトビヤの子ヨハナンも亦ベレキヤの子メシユラムの女子を妻に娶りたり
19 But also thei preisiden hym bifor me, and telden my wordis to hym; and Tobie sente lettris, for to make me aferd.
彼らはトビヤの善行を我前に語りまた我言を彼に通ぜりトビヤは常に書をおくりて我を懼れしめんとせり
