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 you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always.

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

Know this day—for I don’t speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched 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

his signs, and his works, which he did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to 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 to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to 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 to you in the wilderness until you came to 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 to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben—how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle 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 of the LORD’s great work 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 you shall keep the entire commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land that you go over to possess;

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 you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing 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, where you go in to possess isn’t like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your 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 that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky,

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 your God cares for. The LORD your God’s eyes are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to 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

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you today, 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 the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your 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

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall 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

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to 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 the LORD’s anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land doesn’t yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives 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 you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for 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

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

20 また汝の家の柱となんぢの門に之を書記べし

You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your 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 and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above 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 you 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 cling to 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 the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater 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 on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.

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 will be able to stand before you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you tread on, as he has spoken to 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 today 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 you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today;

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 the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn away out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you 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

It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on 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

Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks 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 you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.

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

You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you today.
