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 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves 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

And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelled on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served 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 took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

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 gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down 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, according to that which I did among them: and afterward 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

And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to 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

And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and you dwelled in the wilderness 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

And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelled on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

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

Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor 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 listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered 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 you went over Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered 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 the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with your sword, nor with your 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 have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive groves which you planted not do you eat.

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

Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve you 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 seem evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve 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

And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve 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 it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

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 drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelled in the land: therefore will we also serve 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 Joshua said to the people, You cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

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 you forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he has 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 said to Joshua, No; but we will serve 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 Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, 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

Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to 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 the people said to Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will 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 Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance 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 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary 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 Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest you deny 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

So Joshua let the people depart, every man to 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 it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

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 the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of 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 served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and which had known all the works 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 Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

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

And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
