申命記 31

1 茲にモーセ往てイスラエルの一切の人にこの言をのべたり

Then Moses went and spake these wordes vnto all Israel,

2 即ちこれに言けるは我は今日すでに百二十歳なれば最早出入をすること能はず且またヱホバ我にむかひて汝はこのヨルダンを濟ることを得ずと宣へり

And said vnto them, I am an hundreth and twentie yeere olde this day: I can no more goe out and in: also the Lord hath saide vnto me, Thou shalt not goe ouer this Iorden.

3 汝の神ヱホバみづから汝に先だちて渡りゆき汝の前よりこの國々の人を滅ぼしさりて汝にこれを獲させたまふべしまたヱホバのかつて宣まひしごとくヨシユア汝を率ゐて濟るべし

The Lord thy God he will go ouer before thee: he will destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt possesse them. Ioshua, he shall goe before thee, as the Lord hath said.

4 ヱホバさきにアモリ人の王シホンとオグおよび之が地になしたる如くまた彼らにも爲てこれを滅ぼしたまはん

And the Lord shall doe vnto them, as he did to Sihon and to Og Kings of the Amorites: and vnto their lande whome he destroyed.

5 ヱホバかれらを汝らの前に付したまふべければ汝らは我が汝らに命ぜし一切の命令のごとくこれに爲べし

And the Lord shall giue them before you that ye may do vnto them according vnto euery commandement, which I haue comanded you.

6 汝ら心を強くしかつ勇め彼らを懼るる勿れ彼らの前に慄くなかれ其は汝の神ヱホバみづから汝とともに往きたまへばなり必ず汝を離れず汝を棄たまはじ

Plucke vp your hearts therefore, and be strong: dread not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doeth goe with thee: he will not faile thee, nor forsake thee.

7 斯てモーセ、ヨシユアを呼びイスラエルの一切の人の目の前にてこれに言ふ汝はこの民とともに往き在昔ヱホバがかれらの先祖たちに與へんと誓ひたまひし地に入るべきが故に心を強くしかつ勇め汝彼らにこれを獲さすることを得べし

And Moses called Ioshua, and said vnto him in the sight of all Israel, Be of a good courage and strong: for thou shalt go with this people vnto the lande which the Lord hath sworne vnto their fathers, to giue them, and thou shalt giue it them to inherite.

8 ヱホバみづから汝に先だちて往きたまはんまた汝とともに居り汝を離れず汝を棄たまはじ懼るる勿れ驚くなかれ

And the Lord him selfe doeth go before thee: he will be with thee: he will not faile thee, neither forsake thee: feare not therefore, nor be discomforted.

9 モーセこの律法を書きヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビの子孫たる祭司およびイスラエルの諸の長老等に授けたり

And Moses wrote this Lawe, and deliuered it vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Leui (which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) and vnto all the Elders of Israel,

10 而してモーセ彼らに命じて言けるは七年の末年すなはち放釋の年の節期にいたり結茅の節において

And Moses commanded them, saying, Euery seuenth yeere when the yeere of freedome shalbe in the feast of the Tabernacles:

11 イスラエルの人皆なんぢの神ヱホバの前に出んとてヱホバの選びたまふ處に來らんその時に汝イスラエルの一切の人の前にこの律法を誦てこれに聞すべし

When all Israel shall come to appeare before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall chuse, thou shalt reade this Lawe before all Israel that they may heare it.

12 即ち男女子等および汝の門の内なる他國の人など一切の民を集め彼らをしてこれを聽かつ學ばしむべし然すれば彼等汝らの神ヱホバを畏れてこの律法の言を守り行はん

Gather the people together: men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may heare, and that they may learne, and feare the Lord your God, and keepe and obserue all the wordes of this Lawe,

13 また彼らの子等のこれを知ざる者も之を聞て汝らの神ヱホバを畏るることを學ばん汝らそのヨルダンを濟りゆきて獲ところの地に存ふる日の間つねに斯すべし

And that their children which haue not knowen it, may heare it, and learne to feare the Lord your God, as long as ye liue in the lande, whither ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it.

14 ヱホバまたモーセに言たまひけるは視よ汝の死る日近しヨシユアを召てともに集會の幕屋に立て我かれに命ずるところあらんとモーセとヨシユアすなはち往て集會の幕屋に立けるに

Then the Lord saide vnto Moses, Beholde, thy dayes are come, that thou must die: Call Ioshua, and stande ye in the Tabernacle of the Congregation that I may giue him a charge. So Moses and Ioshua went, and stoode in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

15 ヱホバ幕屋において雲の柱の中に現はれたまへりその雲の柱は幕屋の門口の上に駐まれり

And the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle, in the pillar of a cloude: and the pillar of the cloude stoode ouer the doore of the Tabernacle.

16 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは汝は先祖たちとともに寝らん此民は起あがりその往ところの他國の神々を慕ひて之と姦淫を行ひかつ我を棄て我が彼らとむすびし契約を破らん

And the Lord said vnto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people will rise vp, and goe a whoring after the gods of a strange land (whither they goe to dwell therein) and will forsake me, and breake my couenant which I haue made with them.

17 その日には我かれらにむかひて怒を發し彼らを棄て吾面をかれらに隱すべければ彼らは呑ほろぼされ許多の災害と艱難かれらに臨まん是をもてその日に彼ら言ん是等の災禍の我らにのぞむは我らの神ヱホバわれらとともに在さざるによるならずやと

Wherefore my wrath will waxe hote against them at that day, and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them: then they shalbe consumed, and many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them: so then they will say, Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me?

18 然るも彼ら諸の惡をおこなひて他の神々に歸するによりて我その日にはかならず吾面をかれらに隱さん

But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the euill, which they shall commit, in that they are turned vnto other gods.

19 然ば汝ら今この歌を書きイスラエルの子孫にこれを敎へてその口に念ぜしめ此歌をしてイスラエルの子孫にむかひて我の證とならしめよ

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my witnesse against the children of Israel.

20 我かれらの先祖たちに誓ひし乳と蜜の流るる地にかれらを導きいらんに彼らは食ひて飽き肥太るにおよばば翻へりて他の神々に歸してこれに事へ我を軽んじ吾契約を破らん

For I will bring them into the land (which I sware vnto their fathers) that floweth with milke and honie, and they shall eate, and fil them selues, and waxe fat: then shall they turne vnto other gods, and serue them, and contemne me, and breake my couenant.

21 而して許多の災禍と艱難彼らに臨むにいたる時はこの歌かれらに對ひて證をなす者とならん其はこの歌かれらの口にありて忘るることなかるべければなり我いまだわが誓ひし地に彼らを導きいらざるに彼らは早く已に思ひ量る所あり我これを知ると

And then when many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them, this song shall answere them to their face as a witnesse: for it shall not be forgotte out of the mouthes of their posteritie: for I knowe their imagination, which they goe about euen now, before I haue brought them into the lande which I sware.

22 モーセすなはちその日にこの歌を書てこれをイスラエルの子孫に敎へたり

Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel.

23 ヱホバまたヌンの子ヨシユアに命じて曰たまはく汝はイスラエルの子孫を我が其に誓ひし地に導きいるべきが故に心を強くしかつ勇め我なんぢとともに在べしと

And God gaue Ioshua the sonne of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the lande, which I sware vnto them, and I will be with thee.

24 モーセこの律法の言をことごとく書に書しるすことを終たる時

And when Moses had made an ende of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a booke vntill he had finished them,

25 モーセ、ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビ人に命じて言けるは

Then Moses commanded the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, saying,

26 この律法の書をとりて汝らの神ヱホバの契約の櫃の傍にこれを置き之をして汝にむかひて證をなす者たらしめよ

Take the booke of this Lawe, and put ye it in the side of the Arke of the couenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witnes against thee.

27 我なんぢの悖る事と頑梗なるとを知る見よ今日わが生存へて汝らとともにある間すら汝らはヱホバに悖れり况てわが死たる後においてをや

For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke: beholde, I being yet aliue with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: howe much more then after my death?

28 汝らの諸支派の長老等および牧伯たちを吾許に集めよ我これらの言をかれらに語り聞せ天と地とを呼てかれらに證をなさしめん

Gather vnto me all the Elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speake these wordes in their audience, and call heauen and earth to recorde against them.

29 我しる我が死たる後には汝ら必らず惡き事を行ひ我が汝らに命ぜし道を離れん而して後の日に災害なんぢらに臨まん是なんぢらヱホバの惡と觀たまふ事をおこなひ汝らの手の行爲をもてヱホバを怒らするによりてなり

For I am sure that after my death ye will vtterly be corrupt and turne from the way, which I haue commanded you: therefore euill will come vpon you at the length, because ye will comit euill in the sight of the Lord, by prouoking him to anger through the worke of your hands.

30 かくてモーセ、イスラエルの全會衆にこの歌の言をことごとく語り聞せたり

Thus Moses spake in the audience of all the congregation of Israel the wordes of this song, vntill he had ended them.
