These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene 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

There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.

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 passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto 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 that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in 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

On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, 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

The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,

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

Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.

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

Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede 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 spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe 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

The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:

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

(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath 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

Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, 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

Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer 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

Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.

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 tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among 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 iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that 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 haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare 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

Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.

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

Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: 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 saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.

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

Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.

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

Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities 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

So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.

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

Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.

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 tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.

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

Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord 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 murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.

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

Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.

29 時に我なんぢらに言り怖る勿れ懼るるなかれ

But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd 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

The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto 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 wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto 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 for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord 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 in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude 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

Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, 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 froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto 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

Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.

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 the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,

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

But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite 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

Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse 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, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of 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 sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.

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

But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall 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

And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.

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

Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto 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 when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto 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 a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
