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 love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, 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 know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

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 miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto 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 unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto 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 unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into 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 unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all 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

But your eyes have seen all the great acts 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 keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess 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

And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

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 in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

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 go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

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

A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

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

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

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

That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

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

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

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

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve 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 then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth 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 up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between 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 when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

20 また汝の家の柱となんぢの門に之を書記べし

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon 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 days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon 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 shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto 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 drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

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

Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

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

There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

26 視よ我今日汝らの前に祝福と呪詛とを置く

Behold, 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

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments 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 a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

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

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon 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 on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains 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 ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God giveth you, and ye shall possess 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

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
