Numbers 14

1 And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;

是において會衆みな聲をあげて叫び民その夜哭あかせり

2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, 'O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!

すなはちイスラエルの子孫みなモーセとアロンに對ひて呟き全會衆かれらに言けるは嗚呼我等はエジプトの國に死たらば善りしものを又はこの曠野に死ば善らんものを

3 and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'

何とてヱホバ我等をこの地に導きいりて劍に斃れしめんとし我らの妻子をして掠められしめんとするやエジプトに歸ること反て好らずやと

4 And they say one unto another, 'Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'

互に相語り我等一人の長を立てエジプトに歸らんと云り

5 And Moses falleth — Aaron also — on their faces, before all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel.

是をもてモーセとアロンはイスラエルの子孫の全會衆の前において俯伏たり

6 And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying the land, have rent their garments,

時にかの地を窺ひたりし者の中なるヌンの子ヨシユアとヱフンネの子カルブその衣服を裂き

7 and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we have passed over to spy it, [is] a very very good land;

イスラエルの子孫の全會衆に語りて言ふ我等が行巡りて窺ひたりし地は甚だ善き地なり

8 if Jehovah hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;

ヱホバもし我等を悦びたまはば我らをその地に導きいりて之を我等に賜はん是は乳と蜜との流るる地なるぞかし

9 only, against Jehovah rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the people of the land, for our bread they [are]; their defence hath turned aside from off them, and Jehovah [is] with us; fear them not.'

唯ヱホバに逆ふ勿れまたその地の民を懼るるなかれ彼等は我等の食物とならん彼等の影となる者は旣に去りかつヱホバわれらと共にいますなり彼等を懼るる勿れ

10 And all the company say to stone them with stones, and the honour of Jehovah hath appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the sons of Israel.

然るに會衆みな石をもて之を撃んとせり時にヱホバの榮光集會の幕屋の中よりイスラエルの全體の子孫に顯れたり

11 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?

ヱホバすなはちモーセに言たまはく此民は何時まで我を藐視るや我諸の休徴をかれらの中間に行ひたるに彼等何時まで我を賴むことを爲ざるや

12 I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.'

我疫病をもてかれらを撃ち滅し汝をして彼等よりも大なる強き民とならしめん

13 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,

モーセ、ヱホバに言けるは汝がその權能をもてこの民をエジプトより導き出したまひし事はエジプト人唯これを聞し而已ならず

14 and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, [art] in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen — O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, — and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

また之をこの地に住る民に告たりまた彼等は汝ヱホバがこの民の中に在し汝ヱホバが明かにこれに顯れたまふことを聞きまたその上に汝の雲をりて汝が晝は雲の柱の中にあり夜は火の柱の中にありて之が前に行たまふを聞り

15 'And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying,

然ば汝もしこの民を一人のごとくに殺したまはば汝の名聲を聞る國人等言ん

16 From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them — He doth slaughter them in the wilderness.

ヱホバこの民を導きてその之に誓ひたりし地に至ること能はざるが故に之を曠野に殺せりと

17 'And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying:

吾主ねがはくは今汝の權能を大ならしめて汝の言たまへる如したまへ

18 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third [generation], and on a fourth; —

汝曾言たまひけらくヱホバは怒ること遅く恩惠深く惡と過とを赦す者また罰すべき者をば必ず赦すことをせず父の罪を子に報いて三四代に及ぼす者と

19 forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'

願くは汝の大なる恩惠をもち汝がエジプトより今にいたるまでこの民を赦しし如くにこの民の惡を赦したまへ

20 And Jehovah saith, 'I have forgiven, according to thy word;

ヱホバ言たまはく我汝の言にしたがひて之を赦す

21 and yet, I live — and it is filled — the whole earth — [with] the honour of Jehovah;

然ながら我の活るごとくまたヱホバの榮光の全世界に充わたらん如く

22 for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice —

かのわが榮光および我がエジプトと曠野において行ひし休徴を見ながら斯十度も我を試みて我聲に聽したがはざる人々は

23 they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it;

皆かならず我がその先祖等に誓ひし地を見ざるべしまた我を藐視る人々も之を見ざるべし

24 and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me — I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

但しわが僕カルブはその心異にして我に全く從ひたれば彼の往たりし地に我かれを導きいらんその子孫これを有つに至るべし

25 'And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness — the way of the Red Sea.'

アマレキ人とカナン人谷にをれば明日汝等身を轉して紅海の路より曠野に退くべし

26 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまはく

27 'Until when hath this evil company that which they are murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;

我この我にむかひて呟くところの惡き會衆を何時まで赦しおかんや我イスラエルの子孫が我にむかひて呟くところの怨言を聞り

28 say unto them, I live — an affirmation of Jehovah — if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears — so I do not to you;

彼等に言へヱホバ曰ふ我は活く汝等が我耳に言しごとく我汝等になすべし

29 in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me;

汝らの屍はこの曠野に横はらん即ち汝ら核數られたる二十歳以上の者の中我に對ひて呟ける者は皆ことごとく此に斃るべし

30 ye — ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

ヱフンネの子カルブとヌンの子ヨシュアを除くの外汝等は我が汝らを住しめんと手をあげて誓ひたりし地に至ることを得ず

31 'As to your infants — of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become — I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;

汝等が掠められんと言たりし汝等の子女等を我導きて入ん彼等は汝らが顧みざるところの地を知に至るべし

32 as to you — your carcases do fall in this wilderness,

汝らの屍はかならずこの曠野に横はらん

33 and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness;

汝らの子女等は汝らが屍となりて曠野に朽るまで四十年の間曠野に流蕩て汝らの悸逆の罪にあたらん

34 by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land, forty days, — a day for a year, a day for a year — ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off;

汝らはかの地を窺ふに日數四十日を經たれば其一日を一年として汝等四十年の間その罪を任ひ我が汝らを離たるを知べし

35 I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; — in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'

我ヱホバこれを言り必ずこれをかの集りて我に敵する惡き會衆に盡く行なふべし彼らはこの曠野に朽ち此に死うせん

36 And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,

モーセに遣されてかの地を窺ひに往き還り來りてその地を謗り全會衆をしてモーセに對ひて呟かしめたる人々

37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah;

即ちその地を惡く言なしたるかの人々は罰をうけてヱホバの前に死り

38 and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land.

但しその地を窺ひに往きたる人々の中ヌンの子ヨシユアとヱフンネの子カルブとは生のこれり

39 And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,

モーセこれらの事をイスラエルの子孫に告ければ民痛く哀み

40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, 'Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.'

朝蚤く起いでて山の嶺に登りて言ふ視よ我儕此にあり率ヱホバの約束したまひし地に上りゆかん我等罪を犯したればなり

41 And Moses saith, 'Why [is] this? — ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper;

モーセ言けるは汝等なんぞ斯ヱホバの命に背くやこの事成就せざるべし

42 go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;

汝ら上り行く勿れヱホバ汝らの中にいまさざれば恐くは汝らその敵の前に撃破られん

43 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.'

アマレキ人とカナン人其處に汝らの前にあれば汝等は劍に斃るるならん汝らヱホバに遵はざりし故にヱホバ汝等と偕に在さざるべしと

44 And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp.

然るに彼等自擅に山の嶺に登れり但しヱホバの契約の櫃およびモーセは營を出ざりき

45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down — unto Hormah.

斯りしかばその山に住るアマレキ人とカナン人下り來てこれを打敗りホルマまで追いたれり
