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 ordinances you must be careful to follow all the days you live in the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess.
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
Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods—atop the high mountains, on 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
Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every 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
You shall not worship the LORD your God in this way.
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
Instead, you must seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.
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
To that place you are to bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and heave offerings, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, as well as the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
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
There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the LORD your God has blessed you.
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
You are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems 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 you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you.
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
When you cross the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you and you dwell securely,
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 the LORD your God will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you vow to the LORD.
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 you shall rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among 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
Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in just any place you 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
you must offer them only in the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribal territories, and there you shall do all that I command you.
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
But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your gates, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both the ceremonially clean and unclean may eat it as they would a gazelle or deer,
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
but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like 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
Within your gates you must not eat the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, the firstborn of your herds or flocks, any of the offerings that you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts.
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
Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,
19 汝愼め汝が世に生存ふる日の間レビ人を棄る勿れ
and be careful not to neglect the Levites as long as you live in your 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 the LORD your God expands your territory as He has promised, and you crave meat and say, “I want to eat meat,” you may eat it whenever you want.
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 where the LORD your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of the herd or flock He has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your gates whenever you want.
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
Indeed, you may eat it as you would eat a gazelle or deer; both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
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 not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
24 汝これを食ふ勿れ水のごとくにこれを地に灌ぐべし
You must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like 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
Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
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
But you are to take your holy things and your vow offerings and go to the place the LORD will 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
Present the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
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
Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your 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 the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations you are entering to dispossess, and you drive them out and live 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
be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, “How do these nations serve their gods? 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
You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices 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
See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.
