< 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 hast come in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwellest in it;
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 earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name 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 go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD thy God, that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to 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 from thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD 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 the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down to Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, 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 oppressed 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 when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD 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 the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched 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, even a land that floweth 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 firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD 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 every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
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 finished tithing all the tithes of thy increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within 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
Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
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 of it in my mourning, neither have I taken away any of it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and 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 heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our fathers, a land that floweth 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 the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to perform these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore 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 proclaimed the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken to 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 the LORD hath proclaimed thee this day to be his special people, as he hath promised 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
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people to the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
