申命記 2
1 斯て我らは身を轉らしヱホバの我に命じたまへる如く紅海の途より曠野に進みいりて日久しくセイル山を行めぐりたりしが
Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
2 ヱホバつひに我に告て言たまはく
At this time the LORD said to me,
3 汝等はこの山を行めぐること旣に久し今よりは北に轉りて進め
“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
4 汝また民に命じて言へ汝らはセイルに住るヱサウの子孫なる汝らの兄弟の境界を通らんとす彼らはなんぢらを懼れん汝ら深く自ら謹むべし
and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
5 彼らを攻る勿れ彼らの地は足の跖に踐ほどをも汝らに與へじ其は我セイル山をエサウにあたへて產業となさしめたればなり
Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
6 汝ら金をもて彼らより食物を買て食ひまた金をもて彼らより水をもとめて飮め
You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
7 汝の神ヱホバ汝が手に作ところの諸の事において汝をめぐみ汝がこの大なる曠野を通るを看そなはしたまへり汝の神ヱホバこの四十年のあひだ汝とともに在したれば汝は乏しき所あらざりしなり
Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
8 我らつひにセイル山に住るエサウの子孫なる我らの兄弟を離れてアラバの路を通りエラテとエジオンゲベルを經て／轉りてモアブの曠野の路に進みいれり
So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
9 時にヱホバわれに言たまひけるはモアブ人をなやますなかれまた之を攻て戰ふなかれ彼らの地をば我なんぢらの產業に與へじ其は我ロトの子孫にアルをあたへて產業となさしめたればなりと
Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
10 (昔エミ人ここに住り是民は大にして數多くアナク人のごとくに身長高かり
(The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
11 アナク人とおなじくレバイムと呼なされたりしがモアブ人はこれをエミ人とよべり
Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.
12 ホリ人もまた昔セイルに住をりしがエサウの子孫これを逐滅し之にかはりて其處に住りイスラエルがヱホバに賜はりしその產業の地になせるが如し)
The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)
13 茲に汝等今たちあがりゼレデ川を渉れとありければ我らすなはちゼレデ川を渉れり
“Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.
14 カデシバルネアを出てよりゼレデ川を渉るまでの間の日は三十八年にしてその代の軍人はみな亡果て營中にあらずなりぬヱホバのかれらに誓ひたまひし如し
The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
15 誠にヱホバ手をもて之を攻めこれを營中より滅ぼしたまひければ終にみな亡はてたり
Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
16 かく軍人みなその民の中より死亡たる時にあたりて
Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
17 ヱホバ我に告て言たまひけらく
the LORD said to me,
18 汝は今日モアブの境なるアルを通らんとす
“Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.
19 汝アンモンの子孫に近く時に之をなやます勿れ之を攻るなかれアンモンの子孫の地は我これを汝らの產業に與へじ其は我これをロトの子孫にあたへて產業となさしめたればなり
But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
20 (是もまたレバイムの國とよびなされたり昔レバイムここに住ゐたればなりアンモン人はかれらをザムズミ人とよべり
(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
21 この民は大にして數多くアナク人のごとくに身長たかかりしがヱホバ、アンモン人の前に之を滅ぼしたまひたればアンモン人これを逐はらひて之にかはりて住り
They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
22 その事はセイルに住るエサウの子孫の前にホリ人を滅ぼしたまひしが如し彼らはホリ人を逐はらひ之にかはりて今日まで其處に住をるなり
just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
23 カフトルより出たるカフトリ人はまたかの村々に住ひてガザにまで到るととろのアビ人を滅ぼし之にかはりて其處に居る)
And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)
24 汝ら起あがり進みてアルノン河を渉れ我ヘシボンの王アモリ人シホンとこれが國を汝らの手に付す進んで之を獲よ彼を攻て戰へ
“Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
25 今日我一天下の國人に汝を畏ぢ汝を懼れしめん彼らは汝の名聲を聞て慄ひ汝の爲に心を苦めんと
This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
26 茲に我ケデモテの曠野よりヘシボンの王シホンに使者をおくり和好の言を述しめたり云く
So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,
27 我に汝の國を通らしめよ我は大路を通りて行ん右にも左にも轉らじ
“Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.
28 汝金をとりて食物を我に賣て食はせ金をとりて水を我にあたへて飮せよ我はただ徒歩にて通らんのみ
You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,
29 セイルに住るエサウの子孫とアルに住るモアブ人とが我になしたる如くせよ然せば我はヨルダンを濟りて我らの神ヱホバの我らに賜ひし地にいたらんと
just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
30 然るにヘシボンの王シホンは我らの通ることを容さざりき是は汝の神ヱホバ彼を汝の手に付さんとてその氣を頑梗しその心を剛愎にしたまひたればなり今日見るが如し
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.
31 時にヱホバ我に言たまひけるは視よ我いまシホンとこれが地を汝に與へんとす進んでその地を獲て汝の產業とせよと
Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
32 茲にシホンその民をことごとく率ゐて出きたりヤハヅに於て戰ひけるが
So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
33 我らの神ヱホバ彼をわれらに付したまひたれば我らかれとその子等とその一切の民を撃殺せり
And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.
34 その時に我らは彼の邑々を盡く取りその一切の邑の男女および兒童を滅して一人をも遺さざりき
At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.
35 只その家畜および邑々より取たる掠取物は我らこれを獲て自分の物となせり
We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.
36 アルノンの河邊のアロエルおよび河の傍なる邑よりギレアデにいたるまで我らの攻取がたき邑とては一もあらざりき我らの神ヱホバこれを盡くわれらに付したまへり
From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
37 第アンモンの子孫の地ヤボク川の全岸山地の邑々など凡てわれらの神ヱホバが我らの往を禁じたまへる處には汝いたらざりき
But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
