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, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 ヱホバつひに我に告て言たまはく
The LORD spoke to me, saying,
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 encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
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
Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be 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
Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a 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 shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may 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
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, the LORD your God has been with you. 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 from our brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way 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
The LORD said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a 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 Emim lived there before, a great and numerous people, and tall as the Anakim.
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
These also are considered to be Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
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 also lived in Seir in the past, but the children of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
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 rise up and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook 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 days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the middle of the camp, as the LORD swore 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
Moreover the LORD’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 かく軍人みなその民の中より死亡たる時にあたりて
So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from amongst the people,
17 ヱホバ我に告て言たまひけらく
the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 汝は今日モアブの境なるアルを通らんとす
“You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.
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
When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a 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 also is considered a land of Rephaim. Rephaim lived there in the past, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
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
a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them from before Israel, and they succeeded them, and lived 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
as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even 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)
Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived 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
“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with 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
Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be 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
I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, 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 me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will turn neither to the right hand nor 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 shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,
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
as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives 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 by him, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.
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
The LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit 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
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle 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
The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.
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
We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.
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
Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.
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, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God delivered up all before us.
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
Only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near: all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
