Deuteronomy 19
1 'When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded them, and dwelt in their cities, and in their houses,
汝の神ヱホバこの國々の民を滅し絶ち汝の神ヱホバこれが地を汝に賜ふて汝つひにこれを獲その邑々とその家々に住にいたる時は
2 three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の中に三の邑を汝のために區別べし
3 Thou dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into three parts the border of thy land which Jehovah thy God doth cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither of every man-slayer.
而して汝これに道路を開きまた汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の全體を三の區に分ち凡て人を殺せる者をして其處に逃れしむべし
4 'And this [is] the matter of the man-slayer who fleeth thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore,
人を殺せる者の彼處に逃れて生命を全うすべきその事は是のごとし即ち凡て素より惡むことも無く知ずしてその鄰人を殺せる者
5 even he who cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his neighbour, and he hath died — he doth flee unto one of these cities, and hath lived,
例ば人木を伐んとてその鄰人とともに林に入り手に斧を執て木を斫んと撃おろす時にその頭の鐵柯より脱てその鄰人にあたりて之を死しめたるが如き是なり斯る人は是等の邑の一に逃れて生命を全うすべし
6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him — the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;
恐くは復仇する者心熱してその殺人者を追かけ道路長きにおいては遂に追しきて之を殺さん然るにその人は素より之を惡みたる者にあらざれば殺さるべき理あらざるなり
7 therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Three cities thou dost separate to thee.
是をもて我なんぢに命じて三の邑を汝のために區別べしと言り
8 'And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to thy fathers —
汝の神ヱホバ汝の先祖等に誓ひしごとく汝の境界を廣め汝の先祖等に與へんと言し地を盡く汝に賜ふにいたらん時
9 when thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in His ways all the days — then thou hast added to thee yet three cities to these three;
即ち汝我が今日なんぢに命ずるこの一切の誡命を守りてこれを行なひ汝の神ヱホバを愛し恒にその道に歩まん時はこの三の外にまた三の邑を増加ふべし
10 and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.
是汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地に辜なき者の血を流すこと無らんためなり斯せずばその血汝に歸せん
11 'And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him — the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these cities,
然どもし人その隣人を惡みて之を附覘ひ起かかり撃てその生命を傷ひて之を死しめ而してこの邑の一に逃れたる事あらば
12 then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;
その邑の長老等人を遣て之を其處より曳きたらしめ復仇者の手にこれを付して殺さしむべし
13 thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.
汝かれを憫み視るべからず辜なき者の血を流せる咎をイスラエルより除くべし然せば汝に福祉あらん
14 'Thou dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which thou dost inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふ地の中において汝が嗣ぐところの產業に汝の先人の定めたる汝の鄰の地界を侵すべからず
15 'One witness doth not rise against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, is a thing established.
何の惡にもあれ凡てその犯すところの罪は只一人の證人によりて定むべからず二人の證人の口によりまたは三人の證人の口によりてその事を定むべし
16 'When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostasy,
もし偽妄の證人起りて某の人は惡事をなせりと言たつること有ば
17 then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
その相爭ふ二人の者ヱホバの前に至り當時の祭司と士師の前に立べし
18 and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:
然る時士師詳細にこれを査べ視るにその證人もし偽妄の證人にしてその兄弟にむかひて虚妄の證をなしたる者なる時は
19 'Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,
汝兄弟に彼が蒙らさんと謀れる所を彼に蒙らし斯して汝らの中より惡事を除くべし
20 and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;
然せばその遺れる者等聞て畏れその後かさねて斯る惡き事を汝らの中におこなはじ
21 and thine eye doth not pity — life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
汝憫み視ることをすべからず生命は生命眼は眼歯は歯手は手足は足をもて償はしむべし
