ヨシュア記 1
1 ヱホバの僕モーセの死し後ヱホバ、モーセの從者ヌンの子ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく
And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying,
2 わが僕モーセは已に死り然ば汝いま此すべての民とともに起てこのヨルダンを濟り我がイスラエルの子孫に與ふる地にゆけ
Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land, which I give them.
3 凡そ汝らが足の蹠にて踏む所は我これを盡く汝らに與ふ我が前にモーセに語し如し
Every spot on which ye shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.
4 汝らの疆界は荒野および此レバノンより大河ユフラテ河に至りてヘテ人の全地を包ね日の沒る方の大海に及ぶべし
The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.
5 汝が生ながらふる日の間なんぢに當る事を得る人なかるべし我モーセと偕に在しごとく汝と偕にあらん我なんぢを離れず汝を棄じ
Not a man shall stand against you all the days of thy life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with thee, and I will not fail thee, or neglect thee.
6 心を強くしかつ勇め汝はこの民をして我が之に與ふることをその先祖等に誓ひたりし地を獲しむべき者なり
Be strong and 'quit thyself like a man, for thou shalt divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.
7 惟心を強くし勇み勵んで我僕モーセが汝に命ぜし律法をことごとく守りて行へ之を離れて右にも左にも曲るなかれ然ば汝いづくに往ても利を得べし
Be strong, therefore, and quit thyself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded thee; and thou shalt not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest be wise in whatsoever thou mayest do.
8 この律法の書を汝の口より離すべからず夜も晝もこれを念ひて其中に録したる所をことごとく守りて行へ然ば汝の途福利を得汝かならず勝利を得べし
And the book of this law shall not depart out of thy mouth, and thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shalt thou prosper, and make thy ways prosperous, and then shalt thou be wise.
9 我なんぢに命ぜしにあらずや心を強くしかつ勇め汝の凡て往く處にて汝の神ヱホバ偕に在せば懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ
Lo! I have commanded thee; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord thy God is with thee in all places whither thou goest.
10 茲にヨシユア民の有司等に命じて言ふ
And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying,
11 陣營の中を行めぐり民に命じて言へ汝等糧食を備へよ三日の内に汝らは此ヨルダンを濟り汝らの神ヱホバが汝らに與へて獲させんとしたまふ地を獲んために進みゆくべければなりと
Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and ye shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
12 ヨシユアまたルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半に告て言ふ
And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,
13 ヱホバの僕モーセ前に汝らに命じて言り汝らの神ヱホバ今なんぢらに安息を賜へり亦この地を汝らに與へたまふべしと汝らこの言詞を記念よ
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.
14 汝らの妻子および家畜はモーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの此旁の地に止まるべし然ど汝ら勇者は皆身をよろひて兄弟等の先にたち進濟りて之を助けよ
Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and ye shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and ye shall fight on their side;
15 而してヱホバが汝らに賜ひし如くなんぢらの兄弟等にも安息を賜ふにおよばば又かれらもなんぢらの神ヱホバの與へたまふ地を獲るにおよばば汝らヱホバの僕モーセより與へられしヨルダンの此旁日の出る方なる己が所有の地に還りてこれを保つべしと
until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then ye shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.
16 彼らヨシユアに應て言ふ汝が我等に命ぜし所は我等盡く爲べし凡て汝が我らを遣す處には我ら往べし
And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which thou commandest us, and we will go to every place whither thou shalt send us.
17 我らは一切の事モーセに聽したがひし如く亦なんぢに聽したがはん唯ねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ、モーセと偕にいまししごとく汝と偕に在さんことを
Whereinsoever we hearkened to Moses we will hearken to thee; only let the Lord our God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 誰にもあれ汝が命令に背き凡て汝が命ずるところの言に聽したがはざる者あらば之を殺すべし唯なんぢ心を強くしかつ勇め
And whosoever shall disobey thee, and whosoever shall not hearken to thy words as thou shalt command him, let him die; but be thou strong and courageous.
