< 申命記 5 >
1 茲にモーセ、イスラエルをことごとく召て之に言ふイスラエルよ今日我がなんぢらの耳に語るところの法度と律法とを聽きこれを學びこれを守りて行へよ
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 我らの神ヱホバ、ホレブに於て我らと契約を結びたまへり
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 この契約はヱホバわれらの先祖等とは結ばずして我ら今日此に生存へをる者と結びたまへり
The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 ヱホバ山において火の中より汝らと面をあはせて言ひたまひしが
The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
5 その時我はヱホバと汝らの間にたちてヱホバの言を汝らに傳へたり汝ら火に懼れて山にのぼり得ざりければなり
(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 ヱホバすなはち言たまひけらく我は汝の神ヱホバ汝をエジプトの地その奴隸たる家より導き出せし者なり
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
8 汝自己のために何の偶像をも彫むべからず又上は天にある者下は地にある者ならびに地の下の水の中にある者の何の形状をも作るべからず
“You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
9 之を拝むべからず之に事ふべからず我ヱホバ汝の神は嫉む神なれば我を惡む者にむかひては父の罪を子に報いて三四代におよぼし
You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
10 我を愛しわが誡命を守る者には恩惠を施して千代にいたるなり
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 汝の神ヱホバの名を妄に口にあぐべからずヱホバは己の名を妄に口にあぐる者を罰せではおかざるべし
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 安息日を守りて之を聖潔すること汝の神ヱホバの汝に命ぜしごとくすべし
“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.
You shall labour six days, and do all your work;
14 七日は汝の神ヱホバの安息なれば何の業務をも爲べからず汝も汝の男子女子も汝の僕婢も汝の牛驢馬も汝の諸の家畜も汝の門の中にをる他國の人も然り斯なんぢ僕婢をして汝とおなじく息ましむべし
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15 汝誌ゆべし汝かつてエジプトの地に奴隸たりしに汝の神ヱホバ強き手と伸べたる腕とをもて其處より汝を導き出したまへり是をもて汝の神ヱホバなんぢに安息日を守れと命じたまふなり
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 汝の神ヱホバの汝に命じたまふごとく汝の父母を敬へ是汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地において汝の日の長からんため汝に祥のあらんためなり
“Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
21 汝その隣人の妻を貧るなかれまた隣人の家 田野 僕 婢牛 驢馬ならびに凡て汝の隣人の所有を貧るなかれ
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.”
22 是等の言をヱホバ山において火の中雲の中黑雲の中より大なる聲をもて汝らの全會衆に告たまひしが此外には言ことを爲ず之を二枚の石の版に書して我に授けたまへり
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
23 時にその山は火にて燒をりしが汝ら黑暗の中よりその聲の出るを聞におよびて汝らの支派の長および長老等我に進みよりて
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 言けるは視よ我らの神ヱホバその榮光とその大なる事を我らに示したまひて我らその聲の火の中より出るを聞り我ら今日ヱホバ人と言ひたまふてその人の尚生るを見る
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 我らなんぞ死にいたるべけんや此大なる火われらを燒ほろぼさんとするなり我らもし此上になほ我らの神ヱホバの聲を聞ば死べし
Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
26 凡そ肉身の者の中誰か能く活神の火の中より言ひたまふ聲を我らのごとくに聞てなほ生る者あらんや
For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 請ふ汝進みゆきて我らの神ヱホバの言たまふとこるを都て聽き我らの神ヱホバの汝に告給ふところを都て我らに告よ我ら聽て行はんと
Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28 ヱホバなんぢらが我に語れる言の聲を聞てヱホバ我に言たまひけるは我この民が汝に語れる言の聲を聞り彼らの言ところは皆善し
The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29 只願しきは彼等が斯のごとき心を懐いて恒に我を畏れ吾が誡命を守りてその身もその子孫も永く福祉を得にいたらん事なり
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 汝ゆきて彼らに言へ汝らおのおのその天幕にかへるべしと
“Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31 然ど汝は此にて我傍に立て我なんぢに諸の誡命と法度と律法とを告しめさん汝これを彼らに敎へ我が彼らに與へて產業となさしむる地において彼らにこれを行はしむべしと
But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32 然ば汝らの神ヱホバの汝等に命じたまふごとくに汝ら謹みて行ふべし右にも左にも曲るべからず
You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
33 汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに命じたまふ一切の道に歩め然せば汝らは生ることを得かつ福祉を得て汝らの產業とする地に汝らの日を長うすることを得ん
You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
