申命記 1
1 是はモーセがヨルダンの此旁の曠野紅海に對する平野に在てバラン、トベル、ラバン、ハゼロテ、デザハブの間にてイスラエルの一切の人に告たる言語なり
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
2 ホレブよりセイル山の路を經てカデシバルネアに至るには十一日路あり
It is eleven days journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 第四十年の十一月にいたりその月の一日にモーセはイスラエルの子孫にむかひてヱホバが彼等のために自己に授けたまひし命令を悉く告たり
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in commandment to them,
4 是はモーセがヘシボンに住るアモリ人の王シホン及びエデレイのアシタロテに住るバシヤンの王オグを殺したる後なりき
after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 即ちモーセ、ヨルダンの此旁なるモアブの地においてこの律法を解明すことを爲し始めたり曰く
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
6 我らの神ヱホバ、ホレブにて我らに告て言たまへり汝らはこの山に居こと日すでに久し
Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain.
7 汝ら身を轉らして途に進みアモリ人の山に往き其に鄰れる處々に往き平野山地窪地南の地海邊カナン人の地レバノンおよび大河ユフラテ河に至れ
Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all the places near thereto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 我この地を汝らの前に置り入てこの地を獲よ是はヱホバが汝らの先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひて之を彼らとその後の子孫に與へんと言たまひし者なりと
Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
9 彼時我なんぢらに語りて言り我は一人にては汝らをわが任として負ことあたはず
And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 汝らの神ヱホバ汝らを衆多ならしめたまひたれば汝ら今日は天空の星のごとくに衆し
Jehovah your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 願くは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバ汝らをして今あるよりは千倍も多くならしめ又なんぢらに約束せしごとく汝らを祝福たまはんことを
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 我一人にては爭で汝らを吾任となしまた汝らの重負と汝らの爭競に當ることを得んや
How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 汝らの支派の中より智慧あり知識ありて人に識れたる人々を簡べ我これを汝らの首長となさんと
Take for you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
14 時に汝ら答へて言り汝が言ところの事を爲は善しと
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou have spoken is good to do.
15 是をもて我汝らの支派の首長なる智慧ありて人に知れたる者等を取て汝らの首長となせり即ち之をもて千人の長百人の長五十人の長十人の長となしまた汝らの支派の中の官吏となせり
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
16 また彼時に我汝らの士師等に命じて言り汝らその兄弟の中の訴訟を聽き此人と彼人の間を正く審判くべし他國の人においても然り
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.
17 汝ら人を視て審判すべからず小き者にも大なる者にも聽べし人の面を懼るべからず審判は神の事なればなり汝らにおいて斷定がたき事は我に持きたれ我これを聽ん
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment. Ye shall hear the small and the great alike. Ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you ye shall bring to me, and I will hear it.
18 我かの時に汝らの爲べき事をことごとく汝らに命じたりき
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 我等の神ヱホバの我等に命じたまひしごとくに我等はホレブより出たち汝らが見知るかの大なる畏しき曠野を通りアモリ人の山を指てガデシバルネアに至れり
And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us, and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 時に我なんぢらに言り汝らは我らの神ヱホバの我らに與へたまへるアモリ人の山に至れり
And I said to you, Ye have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God gives to us.
21 視よ汝の神ヱホバこの地を汝の前に置たまふ汝の先祖の神ヱホバの汝に言たまふごとく上り往てこれを獲よ懼るるなかれ猶豫なかれと
Behold, Jehovah thy God has set the land before thee. Go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has spoken to thee. Fear not, neither be dismayed.
22 汝らみな我に近りて言り我等人を我らの先に遣してその地を伺察しめ彼らをして返て何の途より上るべきか何の邑々に入べきかを我らに告しめんと
And ye came near to me, all of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
23 この言わが目に善と見ければ我汝らの中より十二人の者を取り即ち一の支派より一人宛なりき
And the thing pleased me well. And I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.
24 彼等前みゆきて山に登りエシコルの谷にいたり之を伺ひ
And they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 その地の菓物を手に取てわれらの許に持くだり我らに復命して言り我等の神ヱホバの我等に與へたまへる地は善地なりと
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God gives to us.
26 然るに汝等は上り往ことを好まずして汝らの神ヱホバの命令に背けり
Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God.
27 すなはち汝らその天幕にて呟きて言りヱホバわれらを惡むが故に我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅ぼさんとてエジプトの國より我らを導き出せり
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 我等は何方に往べきや我らの兄弟等は言ふその民は我らよりも大にして身長たかく邑々は大にしてその石垣は天に達る我らまたアナクの子孫を其處に見たりと斯いひて我らの氣を挫けりと
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 時に我なんぢらに言り怖る勿れ懼るるなかれ
Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 汝らに先ち行たまふ汝らの神ヱホバ、エジプトにおいて汝らの爲に汝らの目の前にて諸の事をなしたまひし如く今また汝らのために戰ひたまはん
Jehovah your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 曠野においては汝また汝の神ヱホバが人のその子を抱くが如くに汝を抱きたまひしを見たり汝らが此處にいたるまでその路すがら常に然ありしなりと
and in the wilderness, where thou have seen how that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man bears his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.
32 この言をなせども汝らはなほその神ヱホバを信ぜざりき
Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,
33 ヱホバは途にありては汝らに先ちゆきて汝らが營を張べき處を尋ね夜は火の中にあり晝は雲の中にありて汝らの行べき途を示したまへる者なり
who went before you in the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 ヱホバ汝らの言語の聲を聞て怒り誓て言たまひけらく
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 この惡き代の人々の中には我が汝らの先祖等に與へんと誓ひしかの善地を見る者一人も有ざるべし
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 只ヱフンネの子カルブのみ之を見ることを得ん彼が踐たりし地をもて我かれとかれの子孫に與ふべし其は彼まったくヱホバに從ひたればなり
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and I will give to him the land that he has trodden upon, and to his sons, because he has wholly followed Jehovah.
37 ヱホバまた汝らの故をもて我をも怒て言たまへり汝もまた彼處に入ことを得ず
Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shall not go in there.
38 汝の前に侍るヌンの子ヨシユアかしこに入べし彼に力をつけよ彼イスラエルをして之を獲しむべし
Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before thee, he shall go in there. Encourage thou him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 また汝等が掠められんと言たりしその汝らの子女および當日になほ善惡を辨へざりし汝らの幼兒等彼ら即ちかしこに入べし我これを彼らに與へて獲さすべし
Moreover your little ones, who ye said would be a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.
40 汝らは身をめぐらし紅海の途より曠野に進みいるべしと
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
41 然るに汝ら對て我にいへり我等はヱホバにむかひて罪を犯せり然ばわれらの神ヱホバの凡て我らに命じたまへるがごとく我ら上りゆきて戰はんと汝らおのおの武器を身に帶て軽々しく山に登らんとせり
Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.
42 時にヱホバわれに言たまひけるは汝かれらに言へ汝ら上りゆくなかれ又戰ふなかれ我なんぢらの中間に居ざればなり汝ら恐らくはその敵に打敗られんと
And Jehovah said to me, Say to them, Do not go up, neither fight, for I am not among you, lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 われかく汝らに告たるに汝ら聽ずしてヱホバの命令に背き自檀に山に登りたりしが
So I spoke to you, and ye did not hearken, but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.
44 その山に住るアモリ人汝等にむかひて出きたり蜂の驅がごとくに汝らを驅ちらしなんぢらをセイルに打敗りてホルマにおよべり
And the Amorites, who dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 斯りしかばなんぢら還りきたりてヱホバの前に哭きたりしがヱホバなんぢらの聲を聽たまはず汝らに耳を傾むけたまはざりき
And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah did not hearken to your voice, nor gave ear to you.
46 是をもてなんぢらは日久しくカデシに居りなんぢらが其處に居たる日數のごとし
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode there.
