< 申命記 11 >
1 然ば汝の神ヱホバを愛し常にその職守と法度と律法と誡命とを守るべし
Therefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.
2 汝らの子女は知ずまた見ざれば我これに言ず惟汝らに言ふ汝らは今日すでに汝らの神ヱホバの懲戒とその大なる事とその強き手とその伸たる腕とを知り
And consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,
3 またそのエジプトの中においてエジプト王パロとその全國にむかひておこなひたまひし徴證と行爲とを知り
And his signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto all his land:
4 またヱホバがエジプトの軍勢とその馬とその車とに爲たまひし事すなはち彼らが汝らの後を追きたれる時に紅海の水を彼らの上に覆ひかからしめ之を滅ぼして今日までその跡方なからしめし事を知り
And what he did vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto this day:
5 また此處にいたるまで曠野に於て汝らに爲たまひし事等を知り
And what he did vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto this place:
6 またそのルベンの子孫なるエリアブの子等ダタンとアビラムに爲たまひし事すなはちイスラエルの全家の眞中において地その口を啓きて彼らとその家族とその天幕とその足下に立つ者とを呑つくしし事を知なり
And what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al Israel.
7 即ち汝らはヱホバの行ひたまひし此諸の大なる作爲を目に覩たり
For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.
8 然ば汝ら我今日汝らに命ずる誡命を盡く守るべし然せば汝らは強くなり汝らが濟りゆきて獲んとする地にいりて之を獲ことを得
Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it:
9 またヱホバが汝らと汝らの後の子孫にあたへんと汝らの先祖等に誓たまひし地乳と蜜との流るる國において汝らの日を長うすることを得ん
Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.
10 汝らが進みいりて獲んとする地は汝らが出來りしエジプトの地のごとくならず彼處にては汝ら種を播き足をもて之に灌漑げりその状蔬菜園におけるが如し
For the land whither thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:
11 然ど汝らが濟りゆきて獲ところの地は山と谷の多き地にして天よりの雨水を吸ふなり
But the land whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.
12 その地は汝の神ヱホバの顧みたまふ者にして年の始より年の終まで汝の神ヱホバの目常にその上に在り
This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.
13 汝らもし我今日なんぢらに命ずる吾命令を善守りて汝らの神ヱホバを愛し心を盡し精神を盡して之に事へなば
If yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,
14 我なんぢらの地の雨を秋の雨春の雨ともに時に隨ひて降し汝らをしてその穀物を收入しめ且酒と油を獲せしめ
I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.
15 また汝の家畜のために野に草を生ぜしむべし汝は食ひて飽ん
Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.
16 汝ら自ら愼むべし心迷ひ翻へりて他の神々に事へこれを拝む勿れ
But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue other gods, and worship them,
17 恐くはヱホバ汝らにむかひて怒を發して天を閉たまひ雨ふらず地物を生ぜずなりて汝らそのヱホバに賜れる美地より速かに滅亡るに至らん
And so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth you.
18 汝ら是等の我言を汝らの心と魂との中に蔵めまた之を汝らの手に結びて徴となし汝らの目の間におきて誌となし
Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene your eyes,
19 之をなんぢらの子等に敎へ家に坐する時も路を歩む時も寝る時も興る時もこれを語り
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.
And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,
21 然せばヱホバが汝らの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし地に汝らのをる日および汝らの子等のをる日は數多くして天の地を覆ふ日の久きが如くならん
That your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue the earth.
22 汝らもし我が汝らに命ずる此一切の誡命を善く守りてこれを行ひ汝等の神ヱホバを愛しその一切の道に歩み之に附從がはば
For if ye keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto him,
23 ヱホバこの國々の民をことごとく汝らの前より逐はらひたまはん而して汝らは己よりも大にして能力ある國々を獲にいたるべし
Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.
24 凡そ汝らが足の蹠にて踏む處は皆汝らの有とならん即ち汝らの境界は曠野よりレバノンに亘りまたユフラテ河といふ河より西の海に亘るべし
All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.
25 汝らの前に立ことを得る人あらじ汝らの神ヱホバ汝らが踏いるところの地の人々をして汝らを怖ぢ汝らを畏れしめたまふこと其嘗て汝らに言たまひし如くならん
No man shall stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.
Beholde, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
27 汝らもし我が今日なんぢらに命ずる汝らの神ヱホバの誡命に遵はば祝福を得ん
The blessing, if ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day:
28 汝らもし汝らの神ヱホバの誡命に遵はず翻へりて我が今日なんぢらに命ずる道を離れ素知ざりし他の神々に從がひなば呪詛を蒙らん
And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.
29 汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲んとする地に汝を導きいりたまふ時は汝ゲリジム山に祝福を置きエバル山に呪詛をおくべし
When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal.
30 この二山はヨルダンの彼旁アラバに住るカナン人の地において日の出る方の道の後にありギルガルに對ひてモレの橡樹と相去こと遠らざるにあらずや
Are they not beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue of Moreh?
31 汝らはヨルダンを濟り汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに賜ふ地に進みいりて之を獲んとす必ずこれを獲て其處に住ことを得ん
For yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.
32 然ば我が今日なんぢらに授くるところの法度と律法を汝らことごとく守りて行ふべし
Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.
