Numbers 22
1 And thei yeden forth, and settiden tentis in the feeldi places of Moab, where Jerico is set ouer Jordan.
かくてイスラエルの子孫また途に進みてモアブの平野に營を張り此はヨルダンの此旁にしてヱリコに對ふ
2 Forsothe Balach, the sone of Sephor, siy alle thingis whiche Israel hadde do to Ammorrei,
チッポルの子バラクはイスラエルが凡てアモリ人に爲たる所を見たり
3 and that men of Moab `hadden dred Israel, and miyten not bere the assailing of him.
是においてモアブ人大いにイスラエルの民を懼る是その數多きに因てなりモアブ人かくイスラエルの子孫のために心をなやましたれば
4 And he seide to the grettere men in birthe of Madian, So this puple schal do a wei alle men that dwellen in oure coostis, as an oxe is wont to do awei an eerbe `til to the rootis. Forsothe he, `that is, Balaac, was kyng in that tyme in Moab.
すなはちミデアンの長老等に言ふこの群衆は牛が野の草を餂食ふごとくに我等の四圍の物をことごとく餂食はんとすとこの時にはチッポルの子バラク、モアブ人の王たり
5 Therfor he sente messangeris to Balaam, the sone of Beor, a fals diuynour, that dwellide on the flood of the lond of the sones of Amon, that thei schulden clepe hym, and schulden seie, Lo! a puple yede out of Egipt, `which puple hilide the face of erthe, and sittith ayens me.
彼すなはち使者をペトルに遣してベオルの子バラムを招かしめんとすペトルはバラムの本國にありて河の邊に立りその之を招かしむる言に云く茲にエジプトより出來し民あり地の面を蓋ふて我の前にをる
6 Therfor come thou, and curse this puple, which is strongere than Y, if in ony maner Y may smyte and dryue hym out of my lond; for Y knowe, that he is blissid whom thou blissist, and he is cursid whom thou hast cursid.
然ば請ふ汝今來りて我ためにこの民を詛へ彼等は我よりも強ければなり然せば我これを撃やぶりて我國よりこれを逐はらふを得ることもあらん其は汝が祝する者は福徳を得汝が詛ふ者は禍を受くと我しればなりと
7 The eldere men of Moab and the grettere men in birthe of Madian yeden forth, hauynge in hondis the prijs of fals dyuynyng; and whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, and hadden teld to hym alle the wordis of Balaach, he answeride,
モアブの長老等とミデアンの長老等すなはち占卜の禮物を手にとりて出たちバラムにいたりてバラクの言をこれに告たれば
8 Dwelle ye here to nyyt, and Y schal answere what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me. Sotheli while thei dwelliden at Balaam, God cam, and seide to hym,
バラムかれらに言ふ今晩は此に宿れヱホバの我に告るところに循ひて汝らに返答をなすべしと是をもてモアブの牧伯等バラムの許に居る
9 What wolen these men at thee `to hem silf?
時に神バラムに臨みて言たまはく汝の許にをる此人々は何者なるや
10 Balaam answeride, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, kyng of Moabitis, sente to me, and seide, Lo!
バラム神に言けるはモアブの王チッポルの子バラク我に言つかはしけらく
11 a puple which is gon out of Egipt hilide the face of erthe; come thou, and curse hem, if in ony maner Y may fiyte, and dryue hym awey.
茲にエジプトより出きたりし民ありて地の面を蓋ふ請ふ今來りてわがために之を詛へ然せば我これに戰ひ勝てこれを逐はらふを得ることもあらんと
12 And God seide to Balaam, Nyle thou go with hem, nether curse thou the puple, for it is blessid.
神バラムに言たまひけるは汝かれらとともに往べからず亦この民を詛ふべからず是は祝福るる者たるなり
13 Which Balaam roos eerli, and seide to the princes, Go ye in to youre lond, for God forbeed me to come with you.
是においてバラム朝起てバラクの牧伯等に言けるは汝ら國に歸れよヱホバ我が汝らとともに往く事をゆるさざるなりと
14 The princes turneden ayen, and seiden to Balaach, Balaam nolde come with vs.
モアブの牧伯たちすなはち起あがりてバラクの許にいたりバラムは我らとともに來ることを肯ぜずと告たれば
15 Eft Balaach sente many mo and noblere men, than he hadde sent bifore;
バラクまた前の者よりも尊き牧伯等を前よりも多く遣せり
16 whiche seiden, whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, seith thus, Tarye thou not to come to me, redi to onoure thee;
彼らバラムに詣りて之に言けるはチッボルの子バラクかく言ふ願くは汝何の障碍をも顧みずして我に來れ
17 and what euer thing thou wolt, Y schal yyue to thee; come thou, and curse this puple.
我汝をして甚だ大なる尊榮を得させん汝が我に言ところは凡て我これを爲べし然ば願くは來りて我ためにこの民を詛へ
18 Balaam answeride, Thouy Balaach schal yyue to me his howsful of siluer and of gold, Y schal not mowe chaunge the word of my God, that Y speke ethir more ethir lesse.
バラム答へてバラクの臣僕等に言けるは假令バラクその家に盈るほどの金銀を我に與ふるとも我は事の大小を諭ずわが神ヱホバの言を踰ては何をも爲ことを得ず
19 Y biseche, that ye dwelle here also in this nyyt, that Y may wite what the Lord schal answere eft to me.
然ば請ふ汝らも今晩此に宿り我をしてヱホバの再び我に何と言たまふかを知しめよと
20 Therfor the Lord cam to Balaam in the nyyt, and seide to hym, If these men comen to clepe thee, rise thou, and go with hem, so oneli that thou do that that Y schal comaunde to thee.
夜にいりて神バラムにのぞみて之に言たまひけるはこの人々汝を招きに來りたれば起あがりて之とともに往け但し汝は我が汝につぐる言のみを行ふべし
21 Balaam roos eerli, and whanne his femal asse was sadelid, he yede forth with hem.
バラム翌朝起あがりてその驢馬に鞍おきてモアブの牧伯等とともに往り
22 And God was wrooth. And the `aungel of the Lord stood in the weie ayens Balam, that sat on the femal asse, and hadde twei children with hym.
然るにヱホバかれの往たるに縁て怒を發したまひければヱホバの使者かれに敵せんとて途に立り彼は驢馬に乗その僕二人はこれとともに在しが
23 The femal asse siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, with swerd drawun, and `turnede a wei hir silf fro the weie, and yede bi the feeld. And whanne Balaam beet hir, and wolde lede ayen to the path,
驢馬ヱホバの使者が劍を手に抜持て途に立るを見驢馬途より身を轉して田圃に入ければバラム驢馬を打て途にかへさんとせしに
24 the aungel stood in the streitnessis of twei wallis, with whiche the vyneris weren cumpassid.
ヱホバの使者また葡萄園の途に立り其處には此旁にも石垣あり彼旁にも石垣あり
25 And the femal asse siy the aungel, and ioynede hir silf to the wal, and hurtlide the foot of the sittere; and he beet eft `the asse.
驢馬ヱホバの使者を見石垣に貼依てバラムの足を石垣に貼依たればバラムまた之を打り
26 And neuer the lesse the aungel yede to the streit place, where me `myyte not go out of the weie, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side, and stood ayens hym.
然るにヱホバの使者また進みよりて狭き處に立けるが其處には右にも左にもまがる道あらざりしかば
27 And whanne the femal asse siy the aungel stondynge, sche felde doun vndir the feet of the sittere, which was wrooth ful greetli, and beet hir sidis with a staaf.
驢馬ヱホバの使者を見てバラムの下に臥たり是においてバラム怒を發し杖をもて驢馬を打けるに
28 And the Lord openyde the `mouth of the femal asse, and sche spak, What have Y doon to thee? whi smytist thou me, lo! now the thridde tyme?
ヱホバ驢馬の口を啓きたまひたれば驢馬バラムにむかひて言ふ我なんぢに何を爲せばぞ汝かく三次我を打や
29 Balaam answeride, For thou hast disserued, and hast scornyd me; Y wolde that Y hadde a swerd to sle thee.
バラム驢馬に言ふ汝われを侮るが故なり我手に劍あらば今汝を殺さんものを
30 And the femal asse seide, Whether Y am not thi beeste on which thou were wont to sitte euere til in to this present dai? seie thou, what lijk thing Y dide euere to thee? And he seide, Neuere.
驢馬またバラムに言けるは我は汝の所有となりてより今日にいたるまで汝が常に乗ところの驢馬ならずや我つねに斯のごとく汝になしたるやとバラムこたへて否と言ふ
31 Anoon the Lord openyde `the iyen of Balaam, and he siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, holdynge a drawun swerd in the hoond; and Balaam worschipide hym lowli in to erthe.
時にヱホバ、バラムの目を啓きたまひければ彼ヱホバの使者の途に立て劍を手に抜持るを見身を鞠めて俯伏たるに
32 To whom the aungel seide, Whi `betist thou thi femal asse `the thridde tyme? Y cam to be aduersarie to thee, for thi weie is weiward, and contrarye to me;
ヱホバの使者これに言ふ汝なにとて斯三度なんぢの驢馬を打や我汝の道の直に滅亡にいたる者なるを見て汝に敵せんとて出きたれり
33 and if the femal asse hadde not bowid a wey fro the weie, and youe place to ayenstondere, Y hadde slayn thee, and sche schulde lyue.
驢馬はわれを見て斯みたび身を轉して我を避たるなり是もし身を轉らして我を避ずば我すでに汝を殺して是を生しおきしならん
34 Balaam seide, Y synnede, not witynge that thou stodist ayens me; and now, if it displesith thee that Y go, Y schal turne ayen.
バラム、ヱホバの使者に言けるは我罪を獲たり我は汝が我に敵せんとて途に立るを知ざりしなり汝もし之を惡しとせば我は歸るべし
35 The aungel seide, Go thou with these men, but be war that thou speke not other thing than Y schal comaunde to thee. Therfor Balaam yede with the princes.
ヱホバの使者バラムに言けるはこの人々とともに往け但し汝は我が汝に告る言詞のみを宣べしとバラムすなはちバラクの牧伯等とともに往り
36 And whanne Balaach hadde herde this, he yede out in to the comyng of hym, in the citee of Moabitis, whiche is set in the laste coostis of Arnon.
さてまたバラクはバラムの來るを聞てモアブの境の極處に流るるアルノンの旁の邑まで出ゆきて之を迎ふ
37 And he seide to Balaam, Y sente messangeris to clepe thee; whi camest thou not anoon to me? whethir for Y may not yelde meede to thi comyng?
バラクすなはちバラムに言けるは我ことさらに人を遣はして汝を招きしにあらずや汝なにゆゑ我許に來らざりしや我あに汝に尊榮を得さすることを得ざらんや
38 To whom Balaam answeride, Lo! Y am present, whethir Y schal mow speke other thing than that, that God schal putte in my mouth?
バラム、バラクに言けるは視よ我つひに汝の許に來れり然ど今は我何事をも自ら言を得んや我はただ神の我口に授る言語を宣んのみと
39 Therfor thei yeden forth to gidere, and camen in to a citee, which was in the laste coost of `his rewme.
斯てバラムはバラクとともに往てキリアテホゾテに至りしが
40 And whanne Balaach hadde slayn scheep and oxun, he sente yiftis to Balaam and the princes that weren with hym.
バラク牛と羊を宰りてバラムおよび之と偕なる牧伯等に餽れり
41 Forsothe whanne the morewtid was maad, Balaach ledde Balaam to the hiye placis of Baal, and he bihelde the laste part of the puple, `that is, al the oost til to the laste part.
而してその翌朝にいたりバラクはバラムを件ひこれを携へてバアルの崇邱に登イスラエルの民の極端を望ましむ
