ヨシュア記 8
1 茲にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ軍人をことごとく率ゐ起てアイに攻のぼれ視よ我アイの王およびその民その邑その地を都て汝の手に授く
After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land.
2 汝さきにヱリコとその王とに爲し如くアイとその王とに爲べし今回は其貨財およびその家畜を奪ひて自ら取べし汝まづ邑の後に伏兵を設くべしと
And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof.
3 ヨシユアすなはち起あがり軍人をことごとく將てアイに攻のぼらんとしまづ大勇士三萬人を選びて夜の中にこれを遣はせり
Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
4 ヨシユアこれに命じて言く汝らは邑に對ひて邑の後に伏すべし邑に遠く離れをる勿れ皆準備をなして待をれ
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse.
5 我と我に從がふ民みな共に邑に攻よせん而して彼らが初のごとく我らにむかひて打出んとき我らは彼らの前より逃はしらん
And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.
6 然せば彼ら我らを追て出來べければ我等つひに之を邑より誘き出すことを得ん其は彼等いはんこの人衆は初めのごとくまた我等の前より逃ぐと斯てわれらその前より逃はしらん
For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.
7 汝らその伏をる處より起りて邑を取べし汝らの神ヱホバ之を汝らの手に付したまふべし
Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand.
8 汝ら邑を乗取たらば邑に火を放ちヱホバの言詞の如く爲べし我これを汝らに命ず努よやと
And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you.
9 かくてヨシユアかれらを遣はしければ即はち往てアイの西の方にてベテルとアイとの間に身を伏せたりヨシユアはその夜民の中に宿れり
Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people.
10 ヨシユア朝はやく興いでて民をあつめイスラエルの長老等とともに民に先だちてアイにのぼりゆけり
And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai.
11 彼に從がふ軍人ことごとく上りゆきて攻寄せ邑の前に至りてアイの北に陣をとれり彼とアイの間には一の谷ありき
Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai.
12 ヨシユア五千人許を擧て邑の西の方にてベテルとアイとの間にこれを伏せおけり
And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie.
13 かく民の全軍を邑の北に置きその伏兵を邑の西に置てヨシユアその夜谷の中にいりぬ
And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley.
14 アイの王これを視しかばその邑の人々みな急ぎて蚤に起き進み出てイスラエルと戰ひけるが預て諜しあはせ置る頃には王とその一切の民アラバの前に進み來れり王は邑の後に伏兵ありて已を伺ふを知らざりき
And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie.
15 時にヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人とともに彼らに打負し状して荒野の路を指て逃はしりしかば
Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
16 その邑の民みな之を追撃んとて呼はり集まりヨシユアの後を追て邑を出離れ
And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city,
17 アイにもベテルにもイスラエルを追ゆかずして遺りをる者は一人もなく皆邑を開き放してイスラエルの後を追り
So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel.
18 時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまはく汝の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸よ我これを汝の手に授くべしとヨシユアすなはち己の手にある矛をアイの方に指伸るに
Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie.
19 伏兵たちまち其處より起りヨシユアが手を伸ると齊しく奔きたりて邑に打いり之を取りて直に邑に火をかけたり
And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire.
20 茲にアイの人々背をふりかへりて觀しに邑の焚る煙天に立騰りゐたれば此へも彼へも逃るに術なかりき斯る機しも荒野に逃ゆける民も身をかへして其追きたる者等に逼れり
And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers.
21 ヨシユアおよび一切のイスラエル人伏兵の邑を取て邑の焚る煙の立騰るを見身を還してアイの人々を殺しけるが
When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai.
22 かの兵また邑より出きたりて彼らに向ひければ彼方にも此方にもイスラエル人ありて彼らはその中間に挾まれぬイスラエル人かくして彼らを攻撃て一人をも餘さず逃さず
Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape.
23 つひにアイの王を生擒てヨシユアの許に曳きたれり
And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
24 イスラエル人己を荒野に追きたりしアイの民をことごとく野に殺し刃をもてこれを仆し盡すにおよびて皆アイに歸り刃をもてこれを撃ほろぼせり
And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde.
25 その日アイの人々ことごとく斃れたりその數男女あはせて一萬二千人
And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
26 ヨシユア、アイの民をことごとく滅ぼし絶まではその矛を指伸たる手を垂ざりき
For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 但しその邑の家畜および貨財はイスラエル人これを奪ひて自ら取り是はヱホバのヨシユアに命じたまひし言に依なり
Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua.
28 ヨシユア、アイを燬て永くこれを墟垤とならしむ是は今日まで荒地となりをる
And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
29 ヨシユアまたアイの王を薄暮まで木に掛てさらし日の沒におよびて命じてその死骸を木より取おろさしめ邑の門の入口にこれを投すて其上に石の大垤を積おこせり其は今日まで存る
And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.
30 かくてヨシユア、エバル山にてイスラエルの神ヱホバに一の壇を築けり
Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
31 是はヱホバの僕モーセがイスラエルの子孫に命ぜしことに本づきモーセの律法の書に記されたる所に循がひて新石をもて作れる壇にて何人も鐵器をその上に振あげず人衆その上にてヱホバに燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を供ふ
As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 彼處にてヨシユア、モーセの書しるしし律法をイスラエルの子孫の前にて石に書うつせり
Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
33 かくてイスラエルの一切の人およびその長老官吏裁判人など他國の者も本國の者も打まじりてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等レビ人の前にあたりて櫃の此旁と彼旁に分れ半はゲリジム山の前に半はエバル山の前に立り是ヱホバの僕モーセの命ぜし所にしたがひて最初に先イスラエルの民を祝せんとてなり
And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel.
34 然る後ヨシユア律法の書に凡てしるされたる所に循ひて祝福と呪詛とにかかはる律法の言をことごとく誦り
Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.
35 モーセの命じたる一切の言の中にヨシユアがイスラエルの全會衆および婦人子等ならびにイスラエルの中にをる他國の人の前にて誦ざるは無りき
There was not a worde of all that Moses had commanded, which Ioshua read not before all the Congregation of Israel, as well before the women and the children, as the stranger that was conuersant among them.
