ヨシュア記 4
1 民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくしたる時ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく
And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
2 汝ら民の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧げ
Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
3 これに命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの中祭司等の足を踏とめしその處より石十二を取あげてこれを負ひ濟り此夜なんぢらが宿る宿場に居ゑよと
And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)
4 ヨシユアすなはちイスラエルの人々の中より支派ごとに預て一人づつを取て備へおきぬその十二人の者を召よせ
Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
5 而してヨシユアこれに言けるは汝らの神ヱホバの契約の櫃の前に當りて汝らヨルダンの中にすすみ入りイスラエルの人々の支派の數に循ひて各々石ひとつを取あげて肩に負きたれ
And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel,
6 是は汝らの中に徴となるべし後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩是等の石は何のこころなりやと問て言ば
That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?
7 之にいへ往昔ヨルダンの水ヱホバの契約の櫃の前にて裁斷りたる事を表はすなり即ちそのヨルダンを濟れる時にヨルダンの水きれ止まれりこの故にこれらの石を永くイスラエルの人々の記念となすべしと
Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.
8 イスラエルのひとびとヨシユアの命ぜしごとく然なしヱホバのヨシユアに告げたまひし如くイスラエルの人々の支派の數にしたがひてヨルダンの中より石十二を取あげ之を負わたりてその宿る處にいたり之を其處にすゑたり
Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there.
9 ヨシユアまたヨルダンの中において契約の櫃を舁る祭司等の足を踏立し處に石十二を立たりしが今日までも尚ほ彼處にあり
And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day.
10 櫃を舁る祭司等はヱホバのヨシユアに命じて民に告しめたまひし事の悉く成るまでヨルダンの中に立をれり凡てモーセのヨシユアに命ぜし所に適へり民は急ぎて濟りぬ
So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.
11 民の悉く濟りつくせるときヱホバの櫃および祭司等は民の觀る前にて濟りたり
When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
12 ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半モーセの之に言たりし如く身をよろひてイスラエルの人々に先だちて濟りゆき
And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them.
13 凡そ四萬人ばかりの者軍の装に身を堅め攻戰はんとてヱホバに先だち濟りてヱリコの平野に至れり
Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
14 ヱホバこの日イスラエルの衆人の目の前にてヨシユアを尊くしたまひければ皆モーセを畏れしごとくに彼を畏る其一生の間常に然り
That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life.
15 ヱホバ、ヨシユアに語りて言たまひけるは
And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
16 なんぢ證詞の櫃を舁る祭司等にヨルダンを出きたれと命ぜよ
Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
17 ヨシユアすなはち祭司等に命じヨルダンを出きたれと言ければ
Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
18 ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中より出きたる 祭司等足の蹠を陸地に擧ると斉くヨルダンの水故の處に流れかへりて初のごとくその岸にことごとく溢れぬ
And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.
19 正月の十日に民ヨルダンを出きたりヱリコの東の境界なるギルガルに營を張り
So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.
20 時にヨシユアそのヨルダンより取きたらせし十二の石をギルガルにたて
Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 イスラエルの人々に語りて言ふ後の日にいたりて汝らの子輩その父に問て是らの石は何の意なりやと言ば
And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?
22 その子輩に告しらせて言へ在昔イスラエルこのヨルダンを陸地となして濟りすぎし事あり
Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
23 即ち汝らの神ヱホバ、ヨルダンの水を汝らの前に乾涸して汝らを濟らせたまへり其事は汝らの神ヱホバの我らの前に紅海を乾涸して我らを渡らせたまひし状况の如くなりき
For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,
24 斯なしたまひしは地の諸の民をしてヱホバの手の力あるを知しめ汝らの神ヱホバを恒に畏れしめんためなり
That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
