申命記 12

1 是は汝の先祖等の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふところの地において汝らが世に生存ふる日の間常に守り行ふべき法度と律法となり

These are the statutes and the ordinances which ye shall observe to do in the land which Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has given thee to possess it all the days that ye live upon the earth.

2 汝らが逐はらふ國々の民がその神々に事へし處は山にある者も岡にある者も靑樹の下にある者もみな之を盡く毀ち

Ye shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree.

3 その壇を毀ちその柱を碎きそのアシラ像を火にて燒きまたその神々の雕像を斫倒して之が名をその處より絶去べし

And ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire. And ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy their name out of that place.

4 但し汝らの神ヱホバには汝ら是のごとく爲べからず

Ye shall not do so to Jehovah your God.

5 汝らの神ヱホバがその名を置んとて汝らの支派の中より擇びたまふ處なるヱホバの住居を汝ら尋ね求めて其處にいたり

But to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation ye shall seek, and there thou shall come.

6 汝らの燔祭と犠牲汝らの什一と汝らの手の擧祭汝らの願還と自意の禮物および汝らの牛羊の首出等を汝ら其處に携へ詣り

And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.

7 其處にて汝らの神ヱホバの前に食をなし又汝らと汝らの家族皆その手を勞して獲たる物をもて快樂を取べし是なんぢの神ヱホバの祝福によりて獲たるものなればなり

And there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which Jehovah thy God has blessed thee.

8 汝ら彼處にては我らが今日此に爲ごとく各々その目に善と見ところを爲べからす

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes.

9 汝らは尚いまだ汝らの神ヱホバの賜ふ安息と產業にいたらざるなり

For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God gives thee.

10 然ど汝らヨルダンを渡り汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに與へて獲させたまふ地に住にいたらん時またヱホバ汝らの周圍の敵を除き汝らに安息を賜ひて汝等安泰に住ふにいたらん時は

But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety,

11 汝らの神ヱホバその名を置んために一の處を擇びたまはん汝ら其處に我が命ずる物を都て携へゆくべし即ち汝らの燔祭と犠牲と汝らの什一と汝らの手の擧祭および汝らがヱホバに誓願をたてて献んと誓ひし一切の佳物とを携へいたるべし

then it shall come to pass that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, there ye shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow to Jehovah.

12 汝らは汝らの男子女子僕婢とともに汝らの神ヱホバの前に樂むべしまた汝らの門の内にをるレビ人とも然すべし其は是は汝らの中間に分なく產業なき者なればなり

And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates-inasmuch as he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

13 汝愼め凡て汝が自ら擇ぶ處にて燔祭を献ることをする勿れ

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou see,

14 唯汝らの支派の一の中にヱホバの選びたまはんその處に於て汝燔祭を献げまた我が汝に命ずる一切の事を爲べし

but in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of thy tribes. There thou shall offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shall do all that I command thee.

15 彼處にては汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ祝福に循ひて汝その心に好む獣畜を汝の門の内に殺してその肉を食ふことを得即ち汚れたる人も潔き人もこれを食ふを得ること羚羊と牡鹿に於けるが如し

Notwithstanding, thou may kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he has given thee, the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.

16 但しその血は食ふべからず水の如くにこれを地に灌ぐべし

Only ye shall not eat the blood. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.

17 汝の穀物と酒と油の什一および汝の牛羊の首出ならびに汝が立し誓願を還すための禮物と汝の自意の禮物および汝の手の擧祭の品は汝これを汝の門の内に食ふべからず

Thou may not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vow, nor thy freewill offerings, nor the heave offering of thy hand.

18 汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處において汝の神ヱホバの前に汝これを食ふべし即ち汝の男子女子僕婢および汝の門の内にをるレビ人とともに之を食ひ汝の手を勞して獲たる一切の物をもて汝の神ヱホバの前に快樂を取べし

But thou shall eat them before Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite who is within thy gates. And thou shall rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou put thy hand to.

19 汝愼め汝が世に生存ふる日の間レビ人を棄る勿れ

Take heed to thyself that thou not forsake the Levite as long as thou live in thy land.

20 汝の神ヱホバ汝に言しごとくに汝の境界を廣くしたまふに及び汝心に肉を食ふことを欲して言ん我肉を食はんと然る時は汝すべてその心に好む肉を食ふことを得べし

When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he has promised thee, and thou shall say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desires to eat flesh, thou may eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.

21 もし汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて擇びたまへる處汝と離るること遠からば我が汝に命ぜし如く汝そのヱホバに賜はれる牛羊を宰り汝の門の内にて凡てその心に好む者を食ふべし

If the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from thee, then thou shall kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Jehovah has given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou may eat within thy gates, according to all the desire of thy soul.

22 牡鹿と羚羊を食ふがごとく汝これを食ふことを得汚れたる者も潔き者も均くこれを食ふことを得るなり

Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

23 唯堅く愼みてその血を食はざれ血はこれが生命なればなり汝その生命を肉とともに食ふべからず

Only be sure that thou not eat the blood. For the blood is the life, and thou shall not eat the life with the flesh.

24 汝これを食ふ勿れ水のごとくにこれを地に灌ぐべし

Thou shall not eat it. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.

25 汝血を食はざれ汝もし斯ヱホバの善と觀たをふ事を爲ば汝の身と汝の後の子孫とに福祉あらん

Thou shall not eat it, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou shall do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

26 唯汝の献げたる聖物と誓願の物とはこれをヱホバの擇びたまふ處に携へゆくべし

Only thy holy things which thou have, and thy vows, thou shall take, and go to the place which Jehovah shall choose.

27 汝燔祭を献る時はその肉と血を汝の神ヱホバの壇に供ふべくまた犠牲を献る時はその血を汝の神ヱホバの壇の上に灌ぎその肉を食ふべし

And thou shall offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and thou shall eat the flesh.

28 わが汝に命ずる是等の言を汝聽て守れ汝かく汝の神ヱホバの善と觀正と觀たまふ事を爲ば汝と汝の後の子孫に永く福祉あらん

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee forever, when thou do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

29 汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て逐はらはんとする國々の民を汝の前より絶去たまひて汝つひにその國々を獲てその地に住にいたらん時は

When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, where thou go in to dispossess them, and thou dispossess them, and dwell in their land,

30 汝みづから愼め彼らが汝の前に亡びたる後汝かれらに倣ひて罟にかかる勿れまた彼らの神を尋求めこの國々の民は如何なる樣にてその神々に事へたるか我もその如くにせんと言ことなかれ

take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before thee, and that thou not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? Even so I will do likewise.

31 汝の神ヱホバに向ひては汝然す可らず彼らはヱホバの忌かつ憎みたまふ諸の事をその神にむかひて爲しその男子女子をさへ火にて焚てその神々に献げたり

Thou shall not do so to Jehovah thy God. For every abomination to Jehovah, which he hates, they have done to their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

32 我が汝らに命ずるこの一切の言をなんぢら守りて行ふべし汝これを増なかれまた之を減すなかれ

Whatever thing I command you, that shall ye observe to do. Thou shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
