Exodus 23

1 'Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness.

汝虚妄の風説を言ふらすべからず惡き人と手をあはせて人を誣る證人となるべからず

2 'Thou art not after many to evil, nor dost thou testify concerning a strife, to turn aside after many to cause [others] to turn aside;

汝衆の人にしたがひて惡をなすべからず訴訟において答をなすに方りて衆の人にしたがひて道を曲べからず

3 and a poor man thou dost not honour in his strife.

汝また貧き人の訴訟を曲て庇くべからず

4 'When thou meetest thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou dost certainly turn it back to him;

汝もし汝の敵の牛あるひは驢馬の迷ひ去に遭ばかならずこれを牽てその人に歸すべし

5 when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving [it] to it — thou dost certainly leave [it] with him.

汝もし汝を惡む者の驢馬のその負の下に仆れ臥すを見ば愼みてこれを遺さるべからず必ずこれを助けてその負を釋べし

6 'Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in his strife;

汝貧き者の訴訟ある時にその判決を曲べからず

7 from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.

虚假の事に遠かれ無辜者と義者とはこれを殺すなかれ我は惡き者を義とすることあらざるなり

8 'And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the open -[eyed], and perverteth the words of the righteous.

汝賄賂を受べからず賄賂は人の目を暗まし義者の言を曲しむるなり

9 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye — ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

他國の人を虐ぐべからず汝等はエジプトの國にをる時は他國の人にてありたれば他國の人の心を知なり

10 'And six years thou dost sow thy land, and hast gathered its increase;

汝六年の間汝の地に種播きその實を穫いるべし

11 and the seventh thou dost release it, and hast left it, and the needy of thy people have eaten, and their leaving doth the beast of the field eat; so dost thou to thy vineyard — to thine olive-yard.

但し第七年にはこれを息ませて耕さずにおくべし而して汝の民の貧き者に食ふことを得せしめよ其餘れる者は野の獣これを食はん汝の葡萄園も橄欖園も斯のごとくなすべし

12 'Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed;

汝六日の間汝の業をなし七日に息むべし斯汝の牛および驢馬を息ませ汝の婢の子および他國の人をして息をつかしめよ

13 and in all that which I have said unto you ye do take heed; and the name of other gods ye do not mention; it is not heard on thy mouth.

わが汝に言し事に凡て心を用ひよ他の神々の名を稱ふべからずまた之を汝の口より聞えしめざれ

14 'Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year;

汝年に三度わがために節筵を守るべし

15 the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at the time appointed [in] the month of Abib; for in it thou hast come forth out of Egypt, and ye do not appear [in] My presence empty;

汝無酵パンの節禮をまもるべし即ちわが汝に命ぜしごとくアビブの月の定の時において七日の間酵いれぬパンを食ふべし其はその月に汝エジプトより出たればなり徒手にてわが前に出る者あるべからず

16 and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of thy works which thou sowest in the field; and the Feast of the In-Gathering, in the outgoing of the year, in thy gathering thy works out of the field.

また穡時の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝が勞苦て田野に播る者の初の實を祝ふなり又収蔵の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝の勞苦によりて成る者を年の終に田野より収蔵る者なり

17 'Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah.

汝の男たる者は皆年に三次主ヱホバの前に出べし

18 'Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice, and the fat of My festival doth not remain till morning;

汝わが犠牲の血を酵いれしパンとともに献ぐべからず又わが節筵の脂を翌朝まで殘しおくべからず

19 the beginning of the first-fruits of thy ground thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

汝の地に初に結べる實の初を汝の神ヱホバの室に持きたるべし汝山羊羔をその母の乳にて煮べからず

20 'Lo, I am sending a messenger before thee to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee in unto the place which I have prepared;

視よ我天の使をかはして汝に先たせ途にて汝を守らせ汝をわが備へし處に導かしめん

21 be watchful because of his presence, and hearken to his voice, rebel not against him, for he beareth not with your transgression, for My name [is] in his heart;

汝等その前に愼みをりその言にしたがへ之を怒らするなかれ彼なんぢらの咎を赦さざるべしわが名かれの中にあればなり

22 for, if thou diligently hearken to his voice, and hast done all that which I speak, then I have been at enmity with thine enemies, and have distressed those distressing thee.

汝もし彼が言にしたがひ凡てわが言ところを爲ば我なんぢの敵の敵となり汝の仇の仇となるべし

23 'For My messenger goeth before thee, and hath brought thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I have cut them off.

わが使汝にさきだちゆきて汝をアモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人カナン人ヒビ人およびヱブス人に導きたらん我かれらを絶べし

24 'Thou dost not bow thyself to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their doings, but dost utterly devote them, and thoroughly break their standing pillars.

汝かれらの神を拝むべからずこれに奉事べからず彼らの作にならふなかれ汝其等を悉く毀ちその偶像を打摧くべし

25 'And ye have served Jehovah your God, and He hath blessed thy bread and thy water, and I have turned aside sickness from thine heart;

汝等の神ヱホバに事へよ然ばヱホバ汝らのパンと水を祝し汝らの中より疾病を除きたまはん

26 there is not a miscarrying and barren one in thy land; the number of thy days I fulfil:

汝の國の中には流產する者なく妊ざる者なかるべし我汝の日の數を盈さん

27 My terror I send before thee, and I have put to death all the people among whom thou comest, and I have given the neck of all thine enemies unto thee.

我わが畏懼をなんぢの前に遣し汝が至るところの民をことごとく敗り汝の諸の敵をして汝に後を見せしめん

28 'And I have sent the hornet before thee, and it hath cast out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee;

吾黄蜂を汝の先につかはさん是ヒビ人カナン人およびヘテ人を汝の前より逐はらふべし

29 I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath multiplied against thee;

我かれらを一年の中には汝の前より逐はらはじ恐くは土地荒れ野の獣増て汝を害せん

30 little [by] little I cast them out from before thee, till thou art fruitful, and hast inherited the land.

我漸々にかれらを汝の前より逐はらはん汝らは遂に増てその地を獲にいたらん

31 'And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou hast cast them out from before thee;

我なんぢの境をさだめて紅海よりペリシテ人の海にいたらせ曠野より河にいたらしめん我この地に住る者を汝の手に付さん汝かれらを汝の前より逐はらふべし

32 thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their gods;

汝かれらおよび彼らの神と何の契約をもなすべからず

33 they do not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against Me when thou servest their gods, when it becometh a snare to thee.'

彼らは汝の國に住べきにあらず恐くは彼ら汝をして我に罪を犯さしめん汝もし彼等の神に事なばその事かならず汝の機檻となるべきなり
