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 be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

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 eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto 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 spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Yhwh had given him in commandment unto 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 slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth 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 Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses 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

Yhwh our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough 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

Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto 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 Yhwh sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto 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 spake unto 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

Yhwh your God hath 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

( Yhwh God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless 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

How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, 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 you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers 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 hast spoken is good for us 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 chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, 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 judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every 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 not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto 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 when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as Yhwh 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 unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Yhwh our God doth give unto 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, Yhwh thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as Yhwh God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear 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

And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into 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

And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a 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 mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched 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 unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yhwh our God doth give 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

Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh 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 Yhwh hated us, he hath 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

Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons 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

Then I said unto 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

Yhwh your God which goeth before you, he shall 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 hast seen how that Yhwh thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into 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 Yhwh 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 tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a 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 Yhwh heard the voice of your words, 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 evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto 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

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Yhwh.

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 Yhwh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go 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 Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage 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, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, 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 you, and take your journey into the wilderness 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 said unto me, We have sinned against Yhwh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yhwh our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

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 Yhwh said unto me, Say unto them, Go not 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 spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

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, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto 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 Yhwh; But Yhwh would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto 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 unto the days that ye abode there.
