ヨシュア記 24

1 茲にヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の支派をシケムに集めイスラエルの長老首領裁判人官吏などを招きよせて諸共に神の前に進みいで

And Ioshua assembled againe all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called the Elders of Israel, and their heades, and their iudges, and their officers, and they presented themselues before God.

2 而してヨシユアすべての民に言けるはイスラヱルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝らの遠祖すなはちアブラハムの父たりナホルの父たりしテラのごときは在昔河の彼旁に住て皆他神に事へたりしが

Then Ioshua said vnto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt beyond the flood in olde time, euen Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor, and serued other gods.

3 我なんぢらの先祖アブラハムを河の彼旁より携へ出してカナンの全地を導きてすぎその子孫を増んとして之にイサクを與へたり

And I tooke your father Abraham from beyond the flood, and brought him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seede, and gaue him Izhak.

4 而してイサクにヤコブとエサウを與へエサウにセイル山を與へて獲させたりまたヤコブとその子等はエジプトに下れり

And I gaue vnto Izhak, Iaakob and Esau: and I gaue vnto Esau mount Seir, to possesse it: but Iaakob and his children went downe into Egypt.

5 我モーセおよびアロンを遣はしまた災禍をエジプトに降せり我がその中に爲たる所の事のごとし而して後われ汝らを導びき出せり

I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt: and when I had so done among them, I brought you out.

6 我なんぢらの父をエジプト入り導き出し汝ら海に至りしにエジプト人戰車と騎兵とをもて汝らの後を追て紅海に來りけるが

So I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came vnto the Sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with charets and horsemen vnto the red sea.

7 汝らの父等ヱホバに呼はりければヱホバ黑暗を汝らとエジプト人との間に置き海を彼らの上に傾むけて彼らを淹へり汝らは我がエジプトにて爲たる事を目に觀たり斯て汝らは日ひさしく曠野に住をれり

Then they cryed vnto the Lord, and he put a darkenesse betweene you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea vpon them, and couered them: so your eyes haue seene what I haue done in Egypt also ye dwelt in the wildernesse a long season.

8 我またヨルダンの彼旁にすめるアモリ人の地に汝らを携へいれたり彼ら汝らと戰ひければ我かれらを汝らの手に付しかれらの地をなんぢらに獲しめ彼らを汝らの前より滅ぼし去り

After, I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt beyond Iorden, and they fought with you: but I gaue them into your hand, and ye possessed their countrey, and I destroyed them out of your sight.

9 時にモアブの王チツポルの子バラク起てイスラエルに敵し人を遣はしてペオルの子バラムを招きて汝らを詛はせんとしたりしが

Also Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab arose and warred against Israel, and sent to call Balaam the sonne of Beor for to curse you,

10 我バラムに聽ことを爲ざりければ彼かへつて汝らを祝せり斯われ汝らを彼の手より拯出せり

But I would not heare Balaam: therefore he blessed you, and I deliuered you out of his hand.

11 而して汝らヨルダンを濟りてヱリコに至りしにヱリコの人々すなはちアモリ人ペリジ人カナン人ヘテ人ギルガシ人ヒビ人ヱブス人等なんぢらに敵したりしが我かれらを汝らの手に付せり

And ye went ouer Iorden, and came vnto Iericho, and the men of Iericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hiuites and the Iebusites, and I deliuered them into your hand.

12 われ黄蜂を汝らの前に遣はして彼のアモリ人の王二人を汝らの前より逐はらへり汝らの劍または汝らの弓を用ひて斯せしに非ず

And I sent hornets before you, which cast them out before you, euen the two kings of the Amorites, and not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

13 而して我なんちらが勞せしに非ざる地を汝らに與へ汝らが建たるに非ざる邑を汝らに與へたり汝らは今その中に住をる汝らは亦己が作りたるに非ざる葡萄園と橄欖園とにつきて食ふ

And I haue giuen you a land, wherein ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and yee dwell in them, and eate of the vineyards and oliue trees, which yee planted not.

14 然ば汝らヱホバを畏れ赤心と眞實とをもて之に事へ汝らの先祖が河の彼邊およびエジプトにて事へたる神を除きてヱホバに事へよ

Nowe therefore feare the Lord, and serue him in vprightnesse and in trueth, and put away the gods, which your fathers serued beyonde the flood and in Egypt, and serue the Lord.

15 汝ら若ヱホバに事ふることを惡とせば汝らの先祖が河の彼邊にて事へし神々にもあれ又は汝らが今をる地のアモリ人の神々にもあれ汝らの事ふべき者を今日選べ但し我と我家とは共にヱホバに事へん

And if it seeme euill vnto you to serue the Lord, choose you this day whome yee will serue, whether the gods which your fathers serued (that were beyond the flood) or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwel: but I and mine house will serue the Lord.

16 民こたへて言けるはヱホバを棄て他神に事ふることは我等きはめて爲じ

Then the people answered and saide, God forbid, that we shoulde forsake the Lord, to serue other gods.

17 其は我らの神ヱホバみづから我等と我らの先祖とをエジプトの地奴隸の家より導き上りかつ我らの目の前にかの大なる徴を行ひ我らが往し一切の路にて我らを守りまた我らが其中間を通りし一切の民の中にて我らを守りたまひければなり

For the Lord our God, he brought vs and our fathers out of the lande of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and he did those great miracles in our sight, and preserued vs in all the way that we went, and among all the people through whome we came.

18 而してヱホバ此地に住をりしアモリ人などいふ一切の民を我らの前より逐はらひたまへり然ば我らもヱホバに事へん彼は我らの神なればなり

And the Lord did cast out before vs all the people, euen the Amorites which dwelt in the lande: therefore will we also serue the Lord, for he is our God.

19 ヨシユア民に言けるは汝らはヱホバに事ふること能はざらん其は彼は聖神また妬みたまふ神にして汝らの罪愆を赦したまはざればなり

And Ioshua saide vnto the people, Ye can not serue the Lord: for he is an holie God: he is a ielous God: hee will not pardon your iniquitie nor your sinnes.

20 汝ら若ヱホバを棄て他神に事へなば汝らに福祉を降したまへる後にも亦ひるがへりて汝らに災禍を降して汝らを滅ぼしたまはん

If yee forsake the Lord and serue strange gods, then he will returne and bring euill vpon you, and consume you, after that hee hath done you good.

21 民ヨシユアに言けるは否我ら必らずヱホバに事ふべしと

And the people saide vnto Ioshua, Nay, but we will serue the Lord.

22 ヨシユア民に向ひて汝らはヱホバを選びて之に事へんといへりなんぢら自らその證人たりと言ければ皆我らは證人なりと答ふ

And Ioshua saide vnto the people, Yee are witnesses against your selues, that yee haue chosen you the Lord, to serue him: and they sayd, We are witnesses.

23 ヨシユアまた言り然ば汝らの中にある異なる神を除きてイスラエルの神ヱホバに汝らの心を傾むけよ

Then put away nowe, saide he, the strange gods which are among you, and bowe your hearts vnto the Lord God of Israel.

24 民ヨシユアに言けるは我らの神ヱホバに我らは事へ其聲に我らは聽したがふべしと

And ye people saide vnto Ioshua, The Lord our God wil we serue, and his voyce wil we obey.

25 ヨシユアすなはち其日民と契約を結びシケムにおいて法度と定規とを彼らのために設けたり

So Ioshua made a couenant with the people the same day, and gaue them an ordinance and lawe in Shechem.

26 ヨシユアこれらの言を神の律法の書に書しるし大なる石をとり彼處にてヱホバの聖所の傍なる樫の樹の下に之を立て

And Ioshua wrote these woordes in the booke of the Lawe of God, and tooke a great stone, and pitched it there vnder an oke that was in the Sanctuarie of the Lord.

27 而してヨシユア一切の民に言けるは視よ此石われらの證となるべし是はヱホバの我らに語りたまひし言をことごとく聞たればなり然ば汝らが己の神を棄ること無らんために此石なんぢらの證となるべしと

And Ioshua saide vnto all the people, Beholde, this stone shall be a witnesse vnto vs: for it hath heard all the wordes of the Lord which he spake with vs: it shall be therefore a witnesse against you, lest yee denie your God.

28 かくてヨシユア民を各々その產業に歸しさらしめたりき

Then Ioshua let the people depart, euery man vnto his inheritance.

29 是らの事の後ヱホバの僕ヌンの子ヨシユア百十歳にして死り

And after these things Ioshua the sonne of Nun, the seruaunt of the Lord died, being an hundreth and ten yeeres olde.

30 人衆これをその產業の地の内にてテムナテセラに葬むれりテムナテセラはエフライムの山地にてガアシ山の北にあり

And they buried him in ye border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the Northside of mount Gaash.

31 イスラエルはヨシユアの世にある日の間またヱホバがイスラエルのために行ひたまひし諸の事を識ゐてヨシユアの後に生存れる長老等の世にある日の間つねにヱホバに事へたり

And Israel serued the Lord all the daies of Ioshua, and all the daies of the Elders that ouerliued Ioshua, and which had knowen all the workes of the Lord that he had done for Israel.

32 イスラエルの子孫のエジプトより携さへ上りしヨセフの骨を昔ヤコブが銀百枚をもてシケムの父ハモルの子等より買たりしシケムの中なる一の地に葬れり是はヨセフの子孫の產業となりぬ

And the bones of Ioseph, which the children of Israel brought out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem in a parcell of ground which Iaakob bought of the sonnes of Hamor the father of Shechem, for an hundreth pieces of siluer, and the children of Ioseph had them in their inheritance.

33 アロンの子エレアザルもまた死り人衆これを其子ピネハスがエフライムの山地にて受たりし岡に葬れり

Also Eleazar the sonne of Aaron died, whome they buried in the hill of Phinehas his sonne, which was giuen him in mount Ephraim.
