出エジプト記 23
1 汝虚妄の風説を言ふらすべからず惡き人と手をあはせて人を誣る證人となるべからず
“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
2 汝衆の人にしたがひて惡をなすべからず訴訟において答をなすに方りて衆の人にしたがひて道を曲べからず
You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
3 汝また貧き人の訴訟を曲て庇くべからず
And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4 汝もし汝の敵の牛あるひは驢馬の迷ひ去に遭ばかならずこれを牽てその人に歸すべし
If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
5 汝もし汝を惡む者の驢馬のその負の下に仆れ臥すを見ば愼みてこれを遺さるべからず必ずこれを助けてその負を釋べし
If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
6 汝貧き者の訴訟ある時にその判決を曲べからず
You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
7 虚假の事に遠かれ無辜者と義者とはこれを殺すなかれ我は惡き者を義とすることあらざるなり
Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
8 汝賄賂を受べからず賄賂は人の目を暗まし義者の言を曲しむるなり
Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
9 他國の人を虐ぐべからず汝等はエジプトの國にをる時は他國の人にてありたれば他國の人の心を知なり
Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10 汝六年の間汝の地に種播きその實を穫いるべし
For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,
11 但し第七年にはこれを息ませて耕さずにおくべし而して汝の民の貧き者に食ふことを得せしめよ其餘れる者は野の獣これを食はん汝の葡萄園も橄欖園も斯のごとくなすべし
but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
12 汝六日の間汝の業をなし七日に息むべし斯汝の牛および驢馬を息ませ汝の婢の子および他國の人をして息をつかしめよ
For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
13 わが汝に言し事に凡て心を用ひよ他の神々の名を稱ふべからずまた之を汝の口より聞えしめざれ
Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.
14 汝年に三度わがために節筵を守るべし
Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
15 汝無酵パンの節禮をまもるべし即ちわが汝に命ぜしごとくアビブの月の定の時において七日の間酵いれぬパンを食ふべし其はその月に汝エジプトより出たればなり徒手にてわが前に出る者あるべからず
You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
16 また穡時の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝が勞苦て田野に播る者の初の實を祝ふなり又収蔵の節筵を守るべし是すなはち汝の勞苦によりて成る者を年の終に田野より収蔵る者なり
You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
17 汝の男たる者は皆年に三次主ヱホバの前に出べし
Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
18 汝わが犠牲の血を酵いれしパンとともに献ぐべからず又わが節筵の脂を翌朝まで殘しおくべからず
You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
19 汝の地に初に結べる實の初を汝の神ヱホバの室に持きたるべし汝山羊羔をその母の乳にて煮べからず
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20 視よ我天の使をかはして汝に先たせ途にて汝を守らせ汝をわが備へし處に導かしめん
Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
21 汝等その前に愼みをりその言にしたがへ之を怒らするなかれ彼なんぢらの咎を赦さざるべしわが名かれの中にあればなり
Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.
22 汝もし彼が言にしたがひ凡てわが言ところを爲ば我なんぢの敵の敵となり汝の仇の仇となるべし
But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
23 わが使汝にさきだちゆきて汝をアモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人カナン人ヒビ人およびヱブス人に導きたらん我かれらを絶べし
For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
24 汝かれらの神を拝むべからずこれに奉事べからず彼らの作にならふなかれ汝其等を悉く毀ちその偶像を打摧くべし
You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
25 汝等の神ヱホバに事へよ然ばヱホバ汝らのパンと水を祝し汝らの中より疾病を除きたまはん
So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
26 汝の國の中には流產する者なく妊ざる者なかるべし我汝の日の數を盈さん
No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 我わが畏懼をなんぢの前に遣し汝が至るところの民をことごとく敗り汝の諸の敵をして汝に後を見せしめん
I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
28 吾黄蜂を汝の先につかはさん是ヒビ人カナン人およびヘテ人を汝の前より逐はらふべし
I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
29 我かれらを一年の中には汝の前より逐はらはじ恐くは土地荒れ野の獣増て汝を害せん
I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
30 我漸々にかれらを汝の前より逐はらはん汝らは遂に増てその地を獲にいたらん
Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.
31 我なんぢの境をさだめて紅海よりペリシテ人の海にいたらせ曠野より河にいたらしめん我この地に住る者を汝の手に付さん汝かれらを汝の前より逐はらふべし
And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
32 汝かれらおよび彼らの神と何の契約をもなすべからず
You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33 彼らは汝の國に住べきにあらず恐くは彼ら汝をして我に罪を犯さしめん汝もし彼等の神に事なばその事かならず汝の機檻となるべきなり
They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
