< 申命記 26 >
1 汝その神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地にいりこれを獲てそこに住にいたらば
And it shall be when thou comest into the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,
2 汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へたまへる地の諸の土產の初を取て筐にいれ汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて選びたまふ處にこれを携へゆくべし
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell there;
3 而して汝當時の祭司に詣り之にいふべし我は今日なんぢの神ヱホバに申さん我はヱホバが我らに與へんと我らの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れりと
and thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land that Jehovah swore unto our fathers to give us.
4 然る時は祭司汝の手よりその筐をとりて汝の神ヱホバの壇のまへに之を置べし
And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
5 汝また汝の神ヱホバの前に陳て言べし我先祖は憫然なる一人のスリア人なりしが僅少の人を將てエジプトに下りゆきて其處に寄寓をりそこにて終に大にして強く人口おほき民となれり
And thou shalt speak and say before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean was my father, and he went down to Egypt with a few, and sojourned there, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
6 然るにエジプト人我らに害を加へ我らを惱まし辛き力役を我らに負せたりしに因て
And the Egyptians evil-entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage;
7 我等先祖等の神ヱホバに向ひて呼はりければヱホバわれらの聲を聽き我らの艱難と勞苦と虐遇を顧みたまひ
and we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;
8 而してヱホバ強き手を出し腕を伸べ大なる威嚇と徴證と奇跡とをもてエジプトより我らを導きいだし
and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand, and with a stretched-out arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;
9 この處に我らを携へいりてこの地すなはち乳と蜜との流るる地を我らに賜へり
and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey!
10 ヱホバよ今我なんぢが我に賜ひし地の產物の初を持きたれりと斯いひて汝その筐を汝の神ヱホバの前にそなへ汝の神ヱホバの前に禮拝をなすべし
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which thou, Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.
11 而して汝は汝の神ヱホバの汝と汝の家に降したまへる諸の善事のためにレビ人および汝の中間なる旅客とともに樂むべし
And thou shalt rejoice in all the good that Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is in thy midst.
12 第三年すなはち十に一を取の年に汝その諸の產物の什一を取りレビ人と客旅と孤子と寡婦とにこれを與へて汝の門の内に食ひ飽しめたる時は
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thy produce in the third year, the year of tithing, thou shalt give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat in thy gates, and be filled;
13 汝の神ヱホバの前に言べし我は聖物を家より執いだしまたレビ人と客旅と孤子と寡婦とにこれを與へ全く汝が我に命じたまひし命令のごとくせり我は汝の命令に背かずまたこれを忘れざるなり
and thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of the house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed nor forgotten [any] of thy commandments:
14 我はこの聖物を喪の中に食ひし事なくをた汚穢たる身をもて之を携へ出しし事なくまた死人のためにこれを贈りし事なきなり我はわが神ヱホバの言に聽したがひて凡て汝が我に命じたまへるごとく行へり
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I brought away thereof in uncleanness, nor given thereof for a dead person; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
15 願くは汝の聖住所なる天より臨み觀汝の民イスラエルと汝の我らに與へし地とに福祉をくだしたまへ是は我がわれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし乳と蜜との流るる地なり
Look down from thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the land that thou hast given us as thou didst swear unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey!
16 今日汝の神ヱホバこれらの法度と律法とを行ふことを汝に命じたまふ然ば汝心を盡し精心を盡してこれを守りおこなふべし
This day Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and ordinances; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
17 今日なんぢヱホバを認めて汝の神となし且その道に歩みその法度と誡法と律法とを守りその聲に聽したがはんと言り
Thou hast this day accepted Jehovah to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and to hearken unto his voice;
18 今日ヱホバまたその言しごとく汝を認めてその寶の民となし且汝にその諸の誡命を守れと言たまへり
and Jehovah hath accepted thee this day to be a people of possession to him, as he hath told thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments,
19 ヱホバ汝の名譽と聲聞と榮耀とをしてその造れる諸の國の人にまさらしめたまはん汝はその神ヱホバの聖民となることその言たまひしごとくならん
so that he should make thee high above all the nations which he hath made, in praise and in name and in honour; and that thou shouldest be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he hath said.
