ヨシュア記 5
1 ヨルダンの彼旁に居るアモリ人の諸の王および海邊に居るカナン人の諸の王はヱホバ、ヨルダンの水をイスラエルの人々の前に乾涸して我らを濟らせたまひしと聞きイスラエルの人々の事によりて神魂消え心も心ならざりき
AND it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 その時ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは汝石の小刀を作り重て復イスラエルの人々に割禮を行なへと
At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 ヨシユアすなはち石の小刀を作り陽皮山にてイスラエルの人々に割禮を行へり
And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 ヨシユアが割禮を行ひし所以は是なりエジプトより出きたりし民の中の一切の男すなはち軍人は皆エジプトを出し後途にて荒野に死たりしが
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 その出來し民はみな割禮を受たる者なりき然どエジプトを出し後途にて荒野に生れし民には皆割禮を施こさざりき
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6 そもそもイスラエルの人々は四十年の間荒野を歩みをりて終にそのエジプトより出來し民すなはち軍人等ことごとく亡はてたり是ヱホバの聲に聽したがはざりしに因てなり是をもてヱホバかれらの先祖等に誓ひて我等に與へんと宣まひし地なる乳と蜜との流るる地を之に見せじと誓たまへり
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 かれらに継て興らしめたまひしその子輩にはヨシユア割禮を行へりかれらは途にて割禮を施さざりしによりて割禮なきものなりければなり
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 一切の民に割禮を行ふこと畢りぬれば民は陣營に其儘居てその痊るを待り
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
9 時にヱホバ、ヨシユアにむかひて我今日エジプトの羞辱を汝らの上より轉ばし去りと宣まへり是をもてその處の名を今日までギルガル(轉)と稱ふ
And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10 イスラエルの人々ギルガルに營を張りその月の十四日の晩ヱリコの平野にて逾越節を行へり
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 而して逾越節の翌日その地の穀物酵いれぬパンおよび烘麥をその日に食ひけるが
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 その地の穀物を食ひし翌日よりしてマナの降ることを止みてイスラエルの人々かさねてマナを獲ざりき其年はカナンの地の產物を食へり
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 ヨシユア、ヱリコの邊にあひける時目を擧て觀しに一箇の人劍を手に抜持て己にむかひて立ゐければヨシユアすなはちその許にゆきて之に言ふ汝は我等を助くるか將われらの敵を助くるか
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 かれいひけるは否われはヱホバの軍旅の將として今來れるなりとヨシユア地に俯伏て拝し我主なにを僕に告んとしたまふやと之に言り
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 ヱホバの軍旅の將ヨシユアに言けるは汝の履を足より脱され汝が立をる處は聖きなりとヨシユア然なしぬ
And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
