ヨシュア記 23
1 ヱホバ、イスラエルの四方の敵をことごとく除きて安息をイスラエルに賜ひてより久しき後すなはちヨシユア年邁みて老たる後
And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
2 ヨシユア一切のイスラエル人すなはち其長老首領裁判人官吏などを招きよせて之に言けるは
And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and stricken in age:
3 我は年すすみて老ゆ汝らは已に汝らの神ヱホバが汝らのために此もろもろの國人に行ひたまひし事を盡く見たり即ち汝らの神ヱホバみづから汝らのために戰ひたまへり
And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that has fought for you.
4 視よ我ヨルダンより日の入る方大海までの此もろもろの漏のこれる國々および已に滅ぼしたる一切の國々を籤にて汝らに分ちて汝らの支派の產業となさしめたり
Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.
5 汝らの神ヱホバみづから汝らの前よりその國民を打攘ひ汝らの目の前よりこれを逐はらひたまはん而して汝らは汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに宣まひしごとく之が地を獲にいたるべし
And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God has promised to you.
6 然ば汝ら勵みてモーセの律法の書に記されたる所を盡く守り行なへ之を離れて右にも左にも曲るなかれ
Be you therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
7 汝らの中間に遺りをる是等の國人の中に往なかれ彼らの神の名を唱ふるなかれ之を指て誓はしむる勿れ又これに事へこれを拝むなかれ
That you come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
8 惟今日まで爲たるごとく汝らの神ヱホバに附したがへ
But hold to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
9 それヱホバは大にして且強き國民を汝らの前より逐はらひたまへり汝らには今日まで當ることを得る人一箇もあらざりき
For the LORD has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.
10 汝らの一人は千人を逐ことを得ん其は汝らの神ヱホバ汝らに宣まひしごとく自ら汝らのために戰ひたまへばなり
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fights for you, as he has promised you.
11 然ば汝ら自ら善く愼しみて汝らの神ヱホバを愛せよ
Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.
12 然らずして汝ら若後もどりしつつ是等の國人の漏のこりて汝らの中間に止まる者等と親しくなり之と婚姻をなして互に相往來しなば
Else if you do in any wise go back, and join to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you:
13 汝ら確く知れ汝らの神ヱホバかさねて是等の國人を汝らの目の前より逐はらひたまはじ彼ら反て汝らの羂となり罟となり汝らの脇に鞭となり汝らの目に莿となりて汝ら遂に汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに賜ひしこの美地より亡び絶ん
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
14 視よ今日われは世人の皆ゆく途を行んとす汝ら一心一念に善く知るならん汝らの神ヱホバの汝らにつきて宣まひし諸の善事は一も缺る所なかりき皆なんぢらに臨みてその中一も缺たる者なきなり
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass to you, and not one thing has failed thereof.
15 汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに宣まひし諸の善事の汝らに臨みしごとくヱホバまた諸の惡き事を汝らに降して汝らの神ヱホバの汝らに與へしこの美地より終に汝らを滅ぼし絶たまはん
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come on you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring on you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
16 汝ら若なんぢらの神ヱホバの汝らに命じたまひしその契約を犯し往て他神に事へてこれに身を鞠むるに於てはヱホバの震怒なんぢらに向ひて燃いでてなんぢらヱホバに與へられし善地より迅速に亡びうせん
When you have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.
