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 regulations which ye must observe to do, in the land which Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath given unto thee, to possess it, —all the days that ye are living upon the soil:

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 must utterly destroy, all the places where the nations whom ye are dispossessing have 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 must tear down their altars And break in pieces their pillars, And, their sacred stems, must ye consume with fire, And the carved images of their gods, must ye fell to the ground, —And 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 must not do thus unto Yahweh 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, unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, —as his habitation, shall ye ask your way, and come in thither;

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 bring in thither your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, —and your vow-offerings 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 shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and rejoice in all whereunto ye are putting your hand, Ye, and your households, —wherewith Yahweh thy God hath 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 must not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, —every man, whatsoever 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

Because ye have not entered as yet, —into the resting-place and into the inheritance which Yahweh thy God is giving unto 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 shall pass over the Jordan, and settle down in the land which, Yahweh your God, is causing you to inherit, —and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye shall 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 shall it be, that unto the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, thither, shall ye bring in all that I am commanding you, —your ascending-offerings and your sacrifices your tithes and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your chosen vow-offerings which ye shall vow unto Yahweh.

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

So shall ye rejoice before Yahweh your God, Ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your servants and your handmaids, —and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath neither 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, lest thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up in just any place which thou shalt 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 Yahweh shall choose in one of thy tribes, there, shalt thou cause thine ascending-sacrifice to go up, and, there, shalt thou do all that I am commanding 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

Howbeit of anything thy soul desireth, mayest thou sacrifice and so eat flesh—according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God which he hath bestowed upon thee, in all thy gates, the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, —as the gazelle and as 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

Howbeit, the blood, shall ye not eat, —upon the earth, shalt thou pour it out, 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

Thou mayest not eat within thy gates, the tithe of thy corn or of thy new wine or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd, or of thy flock, —nor any of thy vow-offerings which thou shalt 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 before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, —so shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God, in all whereunto thou puttest thy hand.

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, lest thou forsake the Levite, —all thy days upon thy soil.

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 Yahweh thy God shall enlarge thy boundary—as he hath spoken unto thee—and thou shalt say. I would eat flesh because thy soul desireth to eat flesh, of whatsoever thy soul desireth, mayest thou eat flesh.

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

When the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, shall be, too far for thee, then shalt thou sacrifice of thy herd or of thy flock which Yahweh hath given unto thee, as I have commanded thee, —and shalt eat, within thine own gates, of whatsoever thy soul desireth.

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 the hart is eaten, so, shalt thou eat it, —the unclean and the clean, alike shall 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

Howbeit firmly refrain from eating the blood; for the blood, is the life, —therefore must thou 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 shalt not eat it, —upon the earth, shalt thou pour it out, 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

Thou shalt not eat it, —that it may be well with thee and with thy children after thee when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

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

Howbeit, thy holy things which thou shalt have and thy vow-offerings, shalt thou take and come in, unto the place which Yahweh 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 shalt offer thine ascending-sacrifices, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, —and the blood of thine [other] sacrifices, shall be poured out upon the altar of Yahweh thy God, and then the flesh, shalt thou eat.

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 things which I am commanding thee, —that it may be well with thee and with thy children after thee, —unto times age-abiding, so long as thou shalt do that which is pleasing and right in the eyes of Yahweh 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 Yahweh thy God shall cut off from before thee, the nations Whom thou art going in to dispossess, —and thou do 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 lest thou be thrust after them, after they have been destroyed from before thee, —and lest thou enquire after their gods, saying—In what manner, did these nations serve their gods, that, I too, may 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 shalt not do likewise unto Yahweh thy God, —for everything that is an abomination unto Yahweh which he doth hate, have they done unto their gods, for even their sons and their daughters, do they consume with fire unto 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

Whatsoever be the thing which I am commanding you, the same, shall ye observe to do, —thou shalt neither add thereunto, nor take away therefrom.
