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
It happened after many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
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
that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, "I am old and well advanced in years.
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
You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the LORD your God who 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
Look, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun.
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 will himself thrust them out from before you, and drive them out of your sight, and he will send wild animals against them until he utterly destroys them and their kings from before you; and you will inherit their land, as the LORD your God spoke 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
Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it 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 not come 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 down 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 fast 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 great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood 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 is he who fights for you, as he spoke to 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
And be very watchful of yourselves to 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 at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and 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 longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge 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
Look, today I am going the way of all the earth. 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 have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
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
It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which the LORD your God spoke to you, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil things, until he has 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 disobey the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you."
