士師記 2
1 ヱホバの使者ギルガルよりボキムに上りていひけるは我汝等をエジプトより上らしめわが汝らの先祖に誓ひたる地に携へ來れりまた我いひけらくわれ汝らと締べる契約を絶てやぶることあらじ
And an angel of YHWH came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 汝らはこの國の民と契約を締ぶべからずかれらの祭壇を毀つべしとしかるに汝らはわが聲に從はざりき汝ら如何なれば斯ることをなせしや
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
3 我またいひけらくわれ汝らの前より彼らを追ふべからずかれら反て汝等の肋を刺す荊棘とならんまた彼らの神々は汝等の罟となるべし
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their elohim shall be a snare unto you.
4 ヱホバの使これらの言をイスラエルのすべての子孫に語しかば民聲をあげて哭ぬ
And it came to pass, when the angel of YHWH spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 故に其所の名をボキム（哭者）と呼ぶかれら彼所にてヱホバに祭物を獻げたり
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto YHWH.
6 ヨシユア民を去しめたればイスラエルの子孫おのおのその領地におもむきて地を獲たり
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 ヨシユアの世にありし間またヨシユアより後に生きのこりたる長老等の世にありしあひだ民はヱホバに事へたりこの長老等はヱホバのかつてイスラエルのために成したまひし諸の大なる行爲を見しものなり
And the people served YHWH all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of YHWH, that he did for Israel.
8 ヱホバの僕ヌンの子ヨシユア百十歳にて死り
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of YHWH, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 衆人エフライムの山のテムナテヘレスにあるかれらの產業の地においてガアシ山の北にこれを葬れり
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 かくてまたその時代のものことごとくその先祖のもとにあつめられその後に至りて他の時代おこりしが是はヱホバを識ずまたそのイスラエルのために爲したまひし行爲をも識ざりき
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not YHWH, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 イスラエルの子孫ヱホバのまへに惡きことを作してバアリムにつかへ
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of YHWH, and served Baalim:
12 かつてエジプトの地よりかれらを出したまひしその先祖の神ヱホバを棄てて他の神すなはちその四周なる國民の神にしたがひ之に跪づきてヱホバの怒を惹起せり
And they forsook YHWH Elohim of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other elohim, of the elohim of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked YHWH to anger.
13 即ちかれらヱホバをすててバアルとアシタロテに事へたれば
And they forsook YHWH, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 ヱホバはげしくイスラエルを怒りたまひ掠むるものの手にわたして之を掠めしめかつ四周なるもろもろの敵の手にこれを賣たまひしかばかれらふたたびその敵の前に立つことを得ざりき
And the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 かれらいづこに往くもヱホバの手これに災をなしぬ是はヱホバのいひたまひしごとくヱホバのこれに誓ひたまひしごとしここにおいてかれら惱むこと甚だしかりしが
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of YHWH was against them for evil, as YHWH had said, and as YHWH had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 ヱホバ士師を立てたまひたればかれらこれを掠むるものの手よりすくひ出したり
Nevertheless YHWH raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 然るにかれらその士師にもしたがはず反りて他の神を慕て之と淫をおこなひ之に跪き先祖がヱホバの命令に從がひて歩みたることろの道を頓に離れ去りてその如くには行はざりき
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other elohim, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of YHWH; but they did not so.
18 かれらのためにヱホバ士師を立てたまひし時に方りてはヱホバつねにその士師とともに在しその士師の世に在る間はヱホバかれらを敵の手よりすくひ出したまへり此はかれらおのれを虐げくるしむるものありしを呻きかなしめるによりてヱホバ之を哀れみたまひたればなり
And when YHWH raised them up judges, then YHWH was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented YHWH because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 されどその士師の死しのちまた戻きて先祖よりも甚だしく邪曲を行ひ他の神にしたがひてこれに事へ之に跪きておのれの行爲を息めずその頑固なる路を離れざりき
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other elohim to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 是をもてヱホバはげしくイスラエルをいかりていひたまはく此民はわがかつてその列祖に命じたる契約を犯し吾聲に從がはざるがゆゑに
And the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 我もまたいまよりはヨシユアがその死しときに存しおけるいづれの國民をもかれらのまへより逐ひはらはざるべし
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 此は我イスラエルがその先祖の守りしごとくヱホバの道を守りてこれに歩むやいなやを試みんがためなりと
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of YHWH to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 ヱホバはこれらの國民を逐はらふことを速にせずして之を遺しおきてヨシユアの手に付したまはざりしなり
Therefore YHWH left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
