申命記 8
1 我が今日なんぢに命ずるところの諸の誡命を汝ら謹んで行ふべし然せば汝ら生ることを得かつ殖増しヱホバの汝の先祖等に誓たまひし地に入てこれを產業となすことを得ん
All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers.
2 汝記念べし汝の神ヱホバこの四十年の間汝をして曠野の路に歩ましめたまへり是汝を苦しめて汝を試驗み汝の心の如何なるか汝がその誡命を守るや否やを知んためなりき
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
3 即ち汝を苦しめ汝を饑しめまた汝も知ず汝の先祖等も知ざるところのマナを汝らに食はせたまへり是人はパン而已にて生る者にあらず人はヱホバの口より出る言によりて生る者なりと汝に知しめんが爲なり
And he afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
4 この四十年のあひだ汝の衣服は古びて朽ず汝の足は腫ざりし
Thy garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not swell, these forty years.
5 汝また心に念ふべし人のその子を懲戒ごとく汝の神ヱホバも汝を懲戒たまふなり
And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so doth the Lord thy God chasten thee.
6 汝の神ヱホバの誡命を守りその道にあゆみてこれを畏るべし
And thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 汝の神ヱホバ汝をして美地に到らしめたまふ是は谷にも山にも水の流あり泉あり瀦水ある地
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;
8 小麥 大麥 葡萄 無花果および石榴ある地油 橄欖および蜜のある地
A land of wheat, and barley, and of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of honey;
9 汝の食ふ食物に缺るところなく汝に何も乏しきところあらざる地なりその地の石はすなはち鐵その山よりは銅を掘とるべし
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.
10 汝は食ひて飽き汝の神ヱホバにその美地を己にたまひし事を謝すべし
And when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 汝わが今日なんぢに命ずるヱホバの誡命と律法と法度とを守らずして汝の神ヱホバを忘るるにいたらざるやう愼めよ
Take heed unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
12 汝食ひて飽き美しき家を建て住ふに至り
That when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 また汝の牛羊殖増し汝の金銀殖増し汝の所有みな殖増にいたらん時に
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied:
14 恐くは汝心に驕りて汝の神ヱホバを忘れんヱホバは汝をエジプトの地奴隸たる家より導き出し
Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
15 汝をみちびきて彼の大にして畏るべき曠野すなはち蛇火の蛇蠍などありて水あらざる乾ける地を通り汝らのために堅き磐の中より水を出し
Who hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;
16 汝の先祖等の知ざるマナを曠野にて汝に食せたまへり是みな汝を苦しめ汝を試みて終に福祉を汝にたまはんとてなりき
Who hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 汝我力とわが手の動作によりて我この資財を得たりと心に謂なかれ
And thou say in thy heart, My power and the strength of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
18 汝の神ヱホバを憶えよ其はヱホバ汝に資財を得の力をたまふなればなり斯したまふは汝の先祖等に誓し契約を今日の如く行はんとてなり
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 汝もし汝の神ヱホバを忘れ果て他の神々に從がひ之に事へこれを拝むことを爲ば我今日汝らに證をなす汝らはかならず滅亡ん
And it shall come to pass, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish;
20 ヱホバの汝らの前に滅ぼしたまひし國々の民のごとく汝らも滅亡べし是なんぢらの神ヱホバの聲に汝らしたがはざればなり
Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
