Joshua 7
1 And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel.
時にイスラエルの人々その詛はれし物につきて罪を犯せり即ちユダの支派の中なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子アカン詛はれし物を取り是をもてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々にむかひて震怒を發ちたまへり
2 And Joshua sendeth men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Go up and spy the land;' and the men go up and spy Ai,
ヨシユア、ヱリコより人を遣はしベテルの東に當りてベテアベンの邊にあるアイに到らしめんとし之に語りて言ふ汝ら上りゆきてかの地を窺へとその人々上りゆきてアイを窺ひけるが
3 and they turn back unto Joshua, and say unto him, 'Let not all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they smite Ai; cause not all the people to labour thither; for they [are] few.'
ヨシユアの許に歸て之に言ふ民を盡くは上り往しめざれ唯二三千人を上らせてアイを撃しめよかれらは寡ければ一切の民を彼處に遣て勞せしむるなかれと
4 And there go up of the people thither about three thousand men, and they flee before the men of Ai,
是において民およそ三千人ばかり彼處に上りゆきけるが遂にアイの人の前より遁はしれり
5 and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men, and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh water.
アイの人彼らを門の前より追てシバリムにいたり下坂にてその三十六人ばかりを撃り民は魂神消て水のごとくになりぬ
6 And Joshua rendeth his garments, and falleth on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah till the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.
斯りしかばヨシユア衣を裂きイスラエルの長老等とともにヱホバの櫃の前にて暮まで地に俯伏をり首に塵を蒙れり
7 And Joshua saith, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, why hast Thou at all caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? — and oh that we had been willing — and we dwell beyond the Jordan!
ヨシユア言けらく嗟主ヱホバよ何とて此民を導きてヨルダンを濟らせ我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅亡させんとしたまふや我等ヨルダンの彼旁に安んじ居しならば善りしものを
8 Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel hath turned the neck before its enemies?
嗟主よイスラエルすでに敵に背を見せたれば我また何をか言ん
9 and the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land do hear, and have come round against us, and cut off our name out of the earth; and what dost Thou do for Thy great name?'
カナン人およびこの地の一切の民これを聞きわれらを攻かこみてわれらの名をこの世より絶ん然らば汝の大なる御名を如何にせんや
10 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Rise for thee, why [is] this? — thou [art] falling on thy face?
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは立よなんぢ何とて斯は俯伏すや
11 Israel hath sinned, and also they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,
イスラエルすでに罪を犯しわが彼らに命じおける契約を破れり即ち彼らは詛はれし物を取り窃みかつ詐りてこれを己の所有物の中にいれたり
12 and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; the neck they turn before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I add not to be with you — if ye destroy not the devoted thing out of your midst.
是をもてイスラエルの人々は敵に當ること能はず敵に背を見す是は彼らも詛はるる者となりたればなり汝ら其詛はれし物を汝らの中より絶にあらざれば我ふたたび汝らと偕にをらじ
13 'Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing [is] in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;
たてよ民を潔めて言へ汝ら身を潔めて明日を待てイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルよ汝の中に詛はれしものあり汝その詛はれし物を汝らの中より除き去るまでは汝の敵に當ること能はず
14 and ye have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it hath been, the tribe which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by families, and the family which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by households, and the household which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by men;
然ば翌朝汝らその支派にしたがひて進みいづべし而してヱホバの掣たまふ支派はその宗族にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ宗族はその家にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ家は男ひとりびとりに從がひて進みいづべし
15 and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done folly in Israel.'
凡そ掣れて詛はれし物を有りと定まる者は其一切の所有物とともに火に焚るべし是はヱホバの契約を破りイスラエルの中に愚なる事を行ひたるが故なりと
16 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and bringeth Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;
ヨシユア是において朝はやく興いでてイスラエルをその支派にしたがひて進出しめけるにユダの支派掣れたれば
17 and he bringeth near the family of Judah, and he captureth the family of the Zarhite; and he bringeth near the family of the Zarhite by men, and Zabdi is captured;
ユダのもろもろの宗族を進み出でしめけるにゼラの宗族掣れゼラの宗族の人々を進み出しめけるにザブデ掣れ
18 and he bringeth near his household by men, and Achan — son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah — is captured.
ザブデの家の人々を進み出しめけるにアカン掣れぬ彼はユダの支派なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子なり
19 And Joshua saith unto Achan, 'My son, put, I pray thee, honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done — hide not from me.'
ヨシユア、アカンに言けるは我子よ請ふイスラエルの神ヱホバに稱讃を歸し之にむかひて懺悔し汝の爲たる事を我に告よ其事を我に隱すなかれ
20 And Achan answereth Joshua, and saith, 'Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done;
アカン、ヨシユアに答へて言けるは實にわれはイスラエルの神ヱホバに對ひて罪ををかし如此々々行へり
21 and I see among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and lo, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.'
即ちわれ掠取物の中にバビロンの美しき衣服一枚に銀二百シケルと重量五十シケルの金の棒あるを見欲く思ひて其を取れりそれはわが天幕の中に地に埋め匿してあり銀も下にありと
22 And Joshua sendeth messengers, and they run unto the tent, and lo, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver under it;
爰にヨシユア使者を遣はしければ即ち彼の天幕に奔りゆきて視しに其は彼の天幕の中に匿しありて銀も下にありき
23 and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before Jehovah.
彼ら其を天幕の中より取出してヨシユアとイスラエルの一切の人々の所に携へきたりければ則ちそれをヱホバの前に置り
24 And Joshua taketh Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he hath, and all Israel with him, and they cause them to go up the valley of Achor.
ヨシユアやがてイスラエルの一切の人とともにゼラの子アカンを執へかの銀と衣服と金の棒およびその男子女子牛驢馬羊天幕など凡て彼の有る物をことごとく取てアコルの谷にこれを曳ゆけり
25 And Joshua saith, 'What! thou hast troubled us! — Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,
而してヨシユア言けらく汝なんぞ我らを惱まししやヱホバ今日汝を惱ましたまふべしと頓てイスラエル人みな石をもて彼を撃ころし又その家族等をも石にて撃ころし火をもて之を焚けり
26 and they raise up over him a great heap of stones unto this day, and Jehovah turneth back from the heat of His anger, therefore hath [one] called the name of that place 'Valley of Achor' till this day.
而してアカンの上に大なる石堆を積揚たりしが今日まで存るかくてヱホバその烈しき忿怒を息たまへり是によりてその處の名を今日までアコル(惱)の谷と呼ぶ
