Numbers 23
1 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven bullocks and seven rams.'
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために此に七個の壇を築き此に七匹の牡牛と七匹の牡羊を備へよと
2 And Balak doth as Balaam hath spoken, and Balak — Balaam also — offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar,
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しバラクとバラムその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたり
3 and Balaam saith to Balak, 'Station thyself by thy burnt-offering and I go on, it may be Jehovah doth come to meet me, and the thing which He sheweth me — I have declared to thee;' and he goeth [to] a high place.
而してバラムはバラクにむかひ汝は燔祭の傍に立をれ我は往んとすヱホバあるひは我に來りのぞみたまはんその我に示したまふところの事は凡てこれを汝に告んと言て一の高處に登たるに
4 And God cometh unto Balaam, and he saith unto Him, 'The seven altars I have arranged, and I offer a bullock and a ram on the altar;'
神バラムに臨みたまひければバラムこれに言けるは我は七箇の壇を設けその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献げたりと
5 and Jehovah putteth a word in the mouth of Balaam, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
ヱホバ、バラムの口に言を授けて言たまはく汝バラクの許に歸りて斯いふべしと
6 And he turneth back unto him, and lo, he is standing by his burnt-offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
彼すなはちバラクの許に至るにバラクはモアブの諸の牧伯等とともに燔祭の傍に立をる
7 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'From Aram he doth lead me — Balak king of Moab; From mountains of the east: Come — curse for me Jacob, And come — be indignant [with] Israel.
バラムすなはちこの歌をのべて云くモアブの王バラク、スリアより我を招き寄せ東の邦の山より我を招き寄て云ふ來りて我ためにヤコブを詛へ來りてわがためにイスラエルを呪れと
8 What — do I pierce? — God hath not pierced! And what — am I indignant? — Jehovah hath not been indignant!
神の詛はざる者を我いかで詛ふことを得んやヱホバの呪らざる者を我いかで呪ることを得んや
9 For from the top of rocks I see it, And from heights I behold it; Lo a people! alone it doth tabernacle, And among nations doth not reckon itself.
磐の頂より我これを觀岡の上より我これを望むこの民は獨り離れて居ん萬の民の中に列ぶことなからん
10 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob, And the number of the fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of upright ones, And let my last end be like his!'
誰かヤコブの塵を計へ得んやイスラエルの四分一を數ふることを能せんや願くは義人のごとくに我死ん願くはわが終これが終にひとしかれ
11 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'What hast thou done to me? to pierce mine enemies I have taken thee — and lo, thou hast certainly blessed;'
是においてバラク、バラムに言けるは汝我に何を爲や我はわが敵を詛はしめんとて汝を携きたりしなるに汝はかへつて全くこれを祝せり
12 and he answereth and saith, 'That which Jehovah doth put in my mouth — it do I not take heed to speak?'
バラムこたへて言けるは我は愼みてヱホバの我口に授る事のみを宣べきにあらずや
13 And Balak saith unto him, 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, whence thou dost see it, only its extremity thou dost see, and all of it thou dost not see, and pierce it for me thence;'
バラクこれに言けるは請ふ汝われとともに他の處に來りて其處より彼らを觀よ汝ただ彼らの極端のみを觀ん彼らを全くは觀ことを得ざるべし請ふ其處にて我ために彼らを詛へと
14 and he taketh him [to] the field of Zophim, unto the top of Pisgah, and buildeth seven altars, and offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar.
やがて之を導きてピスガの嶺なる斥候の原に至り七箇の壇を築きて壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
15 And he saith unto Balak, 'Station thyself here by thy burnt-offering, and I — I meet [Him] there;'
時にバラム、バラクに言けるは汝此にて燔祭の傍に立をれ我またも往て會見ゆることをせんと
16 and Jehovah cometh unto Balaam, and setteth a word in his mouth, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
ヱホバまたバラムに臨みて言をその口に授け汝バラクの許に歸りてかく言へとのたまひければ
17 And he cometh unto him, and lo, he is standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him, and Balak saith to him: 'What hath Jehovah spoken?'
彼バラクの許にかへりけるにバラクは燔祭の傍に立をりモアブの牧伯等これとともに居りしがバラクすなはちバラムにむかひヱホバ何と言しやと問ければ
18 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear unto me, son of Zippor!
バラムまたこの歌を宣たり云くバラクよ起て聽けチッポルの子よ我に耳を傾けよ
19 God [is] not a man — and lieth, And a son of man — and repenteth! Hath He said — and doth He not do [it]? And spoken — and doth He not confirm it?
神は人のごとく謊ること无しまた人の子のごとく悔ること有ずその言ところは之を行はざらんやその語るところは之を成就ざらんや
20 Lo, to bless I have received: Yea, He blesseth, and I [can] not reverse it.
我はこれがために福祉をいのれとの命令を受く旣に之に福祉をたまへば我これを變るあたはざるなり
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Nor hath He seen perverseness in Israel; Jehovah his God [is] with him, And a shout of a king [is] in him.
ヱホバ、ヤコブの中に惡き事あるを見ずイスラエルの中に憂患あるを見ずその神ヱホバこれとともに在し王を喜びて呼はる聲その中にあり
22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a Reem is to him;
神かれらをエジプトより導き出したまふイスラエルは強きこと兕のごとし
23 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, What hath God wrought!
ヤコブには魔術なしイスラエルには占卜あらず神はその爲ところをその時にヤコブに告げイスラエルにしめしたまふなり
24 Lo, the people as a lioness riseth, And as a lion he lifteth himself up, He lieth not down till he eateth prey, And blood of pierced ones doth drink.'
觀よこの民は牝獅子のごとくに起あがり牡獅子のごとくに身を興さん是はその攫得たる物を食ひその殺しし物の血を飮では臥ことを爲じ
25 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Neither pierce it at all, nor bless it at all;'
是においてバラクはバラムに向ひ汝かれらを詛ふことをも祝することをも爲なかれと言けるに
26 and Balaam answereth and saith unto Balak, 'Have I not spoken unto thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh — it I do?'
バラムこたへてバラクに言ふ我はヱホバの宣まふ事は凡てこれを爲ざるを得ずと汝に告おきしにあらずやと
27 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Come, I pray thee, I take thee unto another place; it may be it is right in the eyes of God — to pierce it for me from thence.'
バラクまたバラムに言けるは請ふ來れ我なんぢを他の處に導き往ん神あるひは汝が其處より彼らを我ために詛ふことを善とせんと
28 And Balak taketh Balaam to the top of Peor, which is looking on the front of the wilderness,
バラクすなはちバラムを導きて曠野に對するペオルの嶺に至るに
29 and Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven bullocks and seven rams;'
バラム、バラクに言けるは我ために七箇の壇を此に築き牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を此に備へよと
30 and Balak doth as Balaam said, and he offereth a bullock and a ram on an altar.
バラクすなはちバラムの言るごとく爲しその壇ごとに牡牛一匹と牡羊一匹を献たり
