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 command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to 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 hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands 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 doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth 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 raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled 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 hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising 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 hast kept the commands of Jehovah 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 Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:
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 vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and 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 in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;
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 thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to 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 to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;
12 汝食ひて飽き美しき家を建て住ふに至り
lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;
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 thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be 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
'And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
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 is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness — burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst — where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from 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 is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in 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 hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for 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
'And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is] who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as [at] 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 hath been — if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly 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
as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
