< ヨシュア記 10 >
1 茲にエルサレムの王アドニゼデクはヨシユアがアイを攻取てこれを全く滅ぼし嚮にヱリコとその王とに爲しごとくにアイとその王とにも爲たる事およびギベオンの民がイスラエルと好を爲て之が中にをる事を聞て
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 大に懼る是ギベオンは大なる邑にして都府に等しきに因りまたアイよりも大きくしてその内の人々凡て強きに因てなり
that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
3 エルサレムの王アドニゼデク是においてヘブロンの王ホハム、ヤルムテの王ピラム、ラキシの王ヤピアおよびエグロンの王デビルに人を遣はして云ふ
Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying:
4 我の處に上りきたりて我を助けよ我らギベオンを攻撃ん其はヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫と好を結びたればなりと
'Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.'
5 而してこのアモリ人の王五人すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王あひ集まりそり諸軍勢を率て上りきたりギベオンに對ひて陣を取り之を攻て戰ふ
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 ギベオンの人々ギルガルの陣營に人を遣はしヨシユアに言しめけるは僕等を助くることを緩うする勿れ迅速に我らの所に上り來りて我らを救ひ助けよ山地に住をるアモリ人の王みな相集りて我らを攻るなりと
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying: 'Slack not thy hands from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.'
7 ヨシユアすなはち一切の軍人および一切の大勇士を率ゐてギルガルより進みのぼれり
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは彼らを懼るるなかれ我かれらを汝の手に付す彼らの中には汝に當ることを得る者一人もあらじと
And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Fear them not; for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand against thee.'
9 この故にヨシユア、ギルガルより終夜進みのぼりて猝然にかれらに攻よせしに
Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.
10 ヱホバかれらをイスラエルの前に敗りたまひければヨシユア、ギベオンにおいて彼らを夥多く撃殺しベテホロンの昇阪の路よりしてアゼカおよびマツケダまで彼らを追撃り
And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon; and they chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 彼らイスラエルの前より逃はしりてベテホロンの降阪にありける時ヱホバ天より大石を降しそのアゼカに到るまで然したまひければ多く死りイスラエルの子孫が劍をもて殺しし者よりも雹石にて死し者の方衆かりき
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died; they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 ヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫の前にアモリ人を付したまひし日にヨシユア、ヱホバにむかひて申せしことあり即ちイスラエルの目の前にて言けらく日よギベオンの上に止まれ月よアヤロンの谷にやすらへ
Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel: 'Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.'
13 民その敵を撃やぶるまで日は止まり月はやすらひぬ是はヤシヤルの書に記さるるにあらずや即ち日空の中にやすらひて急ぎ沒ざりしこと凡そ一日なりき
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 是より先にも後にもヱホバ是のごとく人の言を聽いれたまひし日は有ず是時にはヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまへり
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人とともにギルガルの陣營に歸りぬ
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 かの五人の王は逃ゆきてマツケダの洞穴に隱れたりしが
And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 五人の王はマツケダの洞穴に隱れをるとヨシユアに告て言ふ者ありければ
And it was told Joshua, saying: 'The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.'
18 ヨシユアいひけるは汝ら洞穴の口に大石を轉ばしその傍に人を置てこれを守らせよ
And Joshua said: 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them;
19 但し汝らは止る勿れ汝らの敵の後を追てその殿軍を撃て彼らをその邑々に入しむる勿れ汝らの神ヱホバかれらを汝らの手に付したまへるぞかしと
but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.'
20 ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫おびただしく彼らを撃殺して遂に殺し盡しその撃もらされて遺れる者等城々に逃いるにおよびて
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
21 民みな安然にマツケダの陣營にかへりてヨシユアの許にいたりけるがイスラエルの子孫にむかひて舌を鳴すもの一人もなかりき
that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none whetted his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 時にヨシユア言ふ洞穴の口を開きて洞穴よりかの五人の王を我前に曳いだせと
Then said Joshua: 'Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.'
23 やがて然なしてかの五人の王すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王を洞穴より彼の前に曳いだせり
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 かの王等をヨシユアの前に曳いだしし時ヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人々を呼よせ己とともに往し軍人の長等に言けるは汝ら近よりて此王等の頸に足をかけよと乃はち近よりてその王等の頸に足をかけければ
And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him: 'Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.' And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 ヨシユアこれに言ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ慄く勿れ心を強くしかつ勇めよ汝らが攻て戰ふ諸の敵にはヱホバすべて斯のごとく爲たまふべしと
And Joshua said unto them: 'Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.'
26 かくて後ヨシユア彼らを撃て死しめ五個の木にかけて晩暮まで木の上にこれを曝しおきしが
And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 日の沒る時におよびてヨシユア命を下しければ之を木より取おろしその隱れたりし洞穴に投いれて洞穴の口に大石を置り是は今日が日までも存す
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.
28 ヨシユアかの日マツケダを取り刃をもて之とその王とを撃ち之とその中たる一切の人をことごとく滅して一人をも遺さずヱリコの王になしたるごとくにマツケダの王にも爲しぬ
And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof; he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
29 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてマツケダよりリブナに進みてリブナを攻て戰ひけるに
And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 ヱホバまた之とその王をもイスラエルの手に付したまひしかば刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人を撃ほろぼし一人をもその中に遺さずヱリコの王に爲たるごとくにその王にも爲ぬ
And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
31 ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてリブナよりラキシに進み之にむかひて陣をとり之を攻めて戰ひけるに
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
32 ヱホバでラキシをイスラエルの手に付したまひけれぼ第二日にこれを取り刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人々を撃ちほろぼせり凡てリブナに爲たるがごとし
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 時にゲゼルの王ホラム、ラキシを援けんとて上りきたりければヨシユアかれとその民とを撃ころして終に一人をも遺さざりき
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 斯てヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてラキシよりエグロンに進み之に對ひて陣を取りこれを攻て戰ひ
And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
35 その日にこれを取り刃をもて之を撃その中なる一切の人をことごとくその日に滅ぼせり凡てラキシに爲たるが如し
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人をひきゐてエグロンよりヘブロンに進みのぼり之を攻て戰ひ
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 やがてこれを取り之とその王およびその一切の邑々とその中なる一切の人を刃にかけて撃ころして一人をも遺さざりき凡てエグロンに爲たるが如し即ち之とその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼせり
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
38 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐ歸りてデビルに至り之を攻て戰ひ
And Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
39 之とその王およびその一切の邑を取り刃をもて之を撃てその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼし一人をも遺さざりき其デビルと其王に爲たる所はヘブロンに爲たるが如く又リブナとその王に爲たるがごとくなりき
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king thereof.
40 ヨシユアかく此全地すなはち山地南の地平地および山腹の地ならびに其すべての王等を撃ほろぼして人一箇をも遺さず凡て氣息する者は盡くこれを滅ぼせりイスラエルの神ヱホバの命じたまひしごとし
So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the Lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining; but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.
41 ヨシユア、カデシバルネアよりガザまでの國々およびゴセンの全地を撃ほろぼしてギベオンにまで及ぼせり
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 イスラエルの神ヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまひしに因てヨシユアこれらの諸王およびその地を一時に取り
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてギルガルの陣營にかへりぬ
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
