申命記 19
1 汝の神ヱホバこの國々の民を滅し絶ち汝の神ヱホバこれが地を汝に賜ふて汝つひにこれを獲その邑々とその家々に住にいたる時は
When Jehovah thy God hath cut off the nations whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their cities and in their houses,
2 汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の中に三の邑を汝のために區別べし
thou shalt separate three cities for thyself in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess.
3 而して汝これに道路を開きまた汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地の全體を三の區に分ち凡て人を殺せる者をして其處に逃れしむべし
Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide the territory of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, so that every slayer may flee thither.
4 人を殺せる者の彼處に逃れて生命を全うすべきその事は是のごとし即ち凡て素より惡むことも無く知ずしてその鄰人を殺せる者
And this is the case of the slayer who shall flee thither that he may live: he that smiteth his neighbour unwittingly, whom he hated not previously;
5 例ば人木を伐んとてその鄰人とともに林に入り手に斧を執て木を斫んと撃おろす時にその頭の鐵柯より脱てその鄰人にあたりて之を死しめたるが如き是なり斯る人は是等の邑の一に逃れて生命を全うすべし
as when he goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron slippeth from the handle, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; such an one shall flee unto one of these cities, and live;
6 恐くは復仇する者心熱してその殺人者を追かけ道路長きにおいては遂に追しきて之を殺さん然るにその人は素より之を惡みたる者にあらざれば殺さるべき理あらざるなり
lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, since he hated him not previously.
7 是をもて我なんぢに命じて三の邑を汝のために區別べしと言り
Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thyself.
8 汝の神ヱホバ汝の先祖等に誓ひしごとく汝の境界を廣め汝の先祖等に與へんと言し地を盡く汝に賜ふにいたらん時
And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers
9 即ち汝我が今日なんぢに命ずるこの一切の誡命を守りてこれを行なひ汝の神ヱホバを愛し恒にその道に歩まん時はこの三の外にまた三の邑を増加ふべし
(if thou keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in his ways continually), then shalt thou add three cities more for thyself to these three,
10 是汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地に辜なき者の血を流すこと無らんためなり斯せずばその血汝に歸せん
that innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and blood come not upon thee.
11 然どもし人その隣人を惡みて之を附覘ひ起かかり撃てその生命を傷ひて之を死しめ而してこの邑の一に逃れたる事あらば
But if a man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and he flee into one of these cities,
12 その邑の長老等人を遣て之を其處より曳きたらしめ復仇者の手にこれを付して殺さしむべし
then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13 汝かれを憫み視るべからず辜なき者の血を流せる咎をイスラエルより除くべし然せば汝に福祉あらん
Thine eye shall not spare him; and thou shalt put away innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with thee.
14 汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふ地の中において汝が嗣ぐところの產業に汝の先人の定めたる汝の鄰の地界を侵すべからず
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have fixed in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess.
15 何の惡にもあれ凡てその犯すところの罪は只一人の證人によりて定むべからず二人の證人の口によりまたは三人の證人の口によりてその事を定むべし
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
16 もし偽妄の證人起りて某の人は惡事をなせりと言たつること有ば
If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of an offence;
17 その相爭ふ二人の者ヱホバの前に至り當時の祭司と士師の前に立べし
then both the men between whom the controversy is shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days;
18 然る時士師詳細にこれを査べ視るにその證人もし偽妄の證人にしてその兄弟にむかひて虚妄の證をなしたる者なる時は
and the judges shall make thorough inquiry; and if the witness be a false witness, and he have testified falsely against his brother,
19 汝兄弟に彼が蒙らさんと謀れる所を彼に蒙らし斯して汝らの中より惡事を除くべし
then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto his brother; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
20 然せばその遺れる者等聞て畏れその後かさねて斯る惡き事を汝らの中におこなはじ
And those that remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in thy midst.
21 汝憫み視ることをすべからず生命は生命眼は眼歯は歯手は手足は足をもて償はしむべし
And thine eye shall not spare: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
