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 cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
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 calleth for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and saith unto them, 'I have become old; I have entered into days;
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 ye — ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God [is] He who is fighting 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
see, I have caused to fall to you these nations who are left for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan, (and all the nations which I cut off), and the great sea, the going in 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
'As to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath spoken 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
and ye have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or 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
so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and of the name of their gods ye do not make mention, nor do ye swear, nor do ye serve them, nor do ye 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 to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till 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
And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till 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 doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God [is] He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken 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 ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah 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
'But — if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone 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 certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to 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 lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known — with all your heart, and with all your soul — that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing.
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
'And it hath been, as there hath come upon you all the good thing which Jehovah your God hath spoken unto you, so doth Jehovah bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His destroying you from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to 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
in your transgressing the covenant of Jehovah your God which He commanded you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then hath the anger of Jehovah burned against you, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which He hath given to you.'
