And thei weren oppressid of hem greetly; and `thei maden dichis, and dennes to hem silf in hillis, and strongeste places to fiyte ayen.

3 イスラエル人蒔種してありける時しもミデアン人アマレキ人及び東方の民上り來りて押寄せ

4 イスラエル人に向ひて陣を取り地の產物を荒してガザにまで至りイスラエルのうちに生命を維ぐべき物を遺さず羊も牛も驢馬も遺ざりき

and thei settiden tentis at the sones of Israel, and wastiden alle thingis `as tho weren in eerbis, ethir grene corn, `til to the entryng of Gaza, and outirli thei leften not in Israel ony thing perteynynge to lijf, not scheep, not oxun, not assis.

5 夫この衆人は家畜と天幕を携へ上り蝗蟲の如くに數多く來れりその人と駱駝は數ふるに勝ず彼ら國を荒さんとて入きたる

For thei and alle her flockis camen with her tabernaclis, and at the licnesse of locustus thei filliden alle thingis, and a multitude of men and of camels was with out noumbre, and wastiden what euer thing thei touchiden.

6 かかりしかばイスラエルはミデアン人のために大いに衰へイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼れり

And Israel was `maad low greetli in the siyt of Madian.

7 イスラエルの子孫ミデアン人の故をもてヱホバに呼はりしかば

And Israel criede to the Lord, `and axyde help ayens Madianytis; and he sente to hem a man,

8 ヱホバひとりの預言者をイスラエルの子孫に遣りて言しめたまひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯くいひたまふ我かつて汝らをエジプトより上らせ汝らを奴隸たるの家より出し

a profete, and he spak, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y made you to stie fro Egipt, and Y ledde you out of the hows of seruage,

9 エジプト人の手およびすべて汝らを虐ぐるものの手より汝らを拯ひいだし汝らの前より彼らを追ひはらひてその邦土を汝らに與へたり

and Y delyueride you fro the hond of Egipcians, and of alle enemyes that turmentiden you; and Y castide hem out at youre entryng, and Y yaf to you `the lond of hem;

10 我また汝らに言り我は汝らの神ヱホバなり汝らが住ひ居るアモリ人の國の神を懼るるなかれとしかるに汝らは我が聲に從はざりき

and Y seide, Y am `youre Lord God; drede ye not the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; and ye nolden here my vois.

11 茲にヱホバの使者來りてアビエゼル人ヨアシの所有なるオフラの橡の樹のしたに坐す時にヨアシの子ギデオン、ミデアン人に奪はれざらんために酒榨のなかに麥を打ち居たりしが

Forsothe an aungel of the Lord cam, and sat undur an ook, that was in Effra, and perteynede to Joas, fadir of the meinee of Ezri. And whanne Gedeon, `his sone, threischide out, and purgide wheetis in a pressour,

12 ヱホバの使之に現れて剛勇丈夫よヱホバ汝とともに在すといひたれば

that he schulde fle Madian, an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and seide, The Lord be with thee, thou strongeste of men.

13 ギデオン之にいひけるはああ吾が主よヱホバ我らと偕にいまさばなどてこれらのことわれらの上に及びたるやわれらの先祖がヱホバは我らをエジプトより上らしめたまひしにあらずやといひて我らに告たりしその諸の不思議なる行爲は何處にあるや今はヱホバわれらを棄てミデアン人の手に付したまへり

And Gedeon seide to hym, My lord, Y biseche, if the Lord is with vs, whi therfor han alle these yuels take vs? Where ben the merueils of hym, whiche oure fadris telden, and seiden, The Lord ledde vs out of Egipt? `Now forsothe he hath forsake vs, and hath bitake vs in the hond of Madian.

14 ヱホバ之を顧みていひたまひけるは汝此汝の力をもて行きミデアン人の手よりイスラエルを拯ひいだすべし我汝を遣すにあらずや

And the Lord bihelde to hym, and seide, Go thou in this strengthe of thee, and thou schalt delyuere Israel fro the hond of Madian; wite thou, that Y sente thee.

15 ギデオン之にいひけるはああ主よ我何をもてかイスラエルを拯ふべき視よわが家はマナセのうちの最も弱きもの我はまた父の家の最も卑賤きものなり

Which Gedeon answeride, and seide, My lord, Y biseche, in what thing schal Y delyuere Israel? Lo! my meynee is the loweste in Manasses, and Y am the leeste in the hows of my fadir.

16 ヱホバ之にいひたまひけるは我かならず汝とともに在ん汝は一人を撃がごとくにミデアン人を撃つことを得ん

And the Lord seide to hym, Y schal be with thee, and thou schalt smyte Madian as o man.

17 ギデオン之にいひけるは我もし汝のまへに恩を蒙るならば請ふ我と語る者の汝なる證據を見せたまへ

And Gedeon seide, If Y haue foundun grace bifor thee, yyue to me a signe, that thou, that spekist to me, art sente of Goddis part;

18 ねがはくは我復び汝に來りわが祭物をたづさへて之を汝のまへに供ふるまでここを去たまふなかれ彼いひたまひけるは我汝の還るまで待つべし

go thou not `awei fro hennus, til Y turne ayen to thee, and brynge sacrifice, and offre to thee. Whiche answeride, Y schal abide thi comyng.

19 ギデオンすなはち往て山羊の羔を調へ粉一エパをもて無酵パンをつくり肉を筺にいれ羹を壺に盛り橡樹の下にもち出て之を供へたれば

And so Gedeon entride, and sethide a kide, and took therf looues of a buyschel of mell, and fleischis in a panyere; and he sente the broth of fleischis in a pot, and bar alle thingis vndur an ook, and offride to hym.

20 神の使之にいひたまひけるは肉と無酵パンをとりて此巖のうへに置き之に羹を斟げとすなはちそのごとくに行ふ

To whom the aungel of the Lord seide, Take thou the fleischis, and therf looues, and putte on that stoon, and schede the broth aboue. And whanne he hadde do so,

21 ヱホバの使手にもてる杖の末端を出して肉と無酵パンに觸れたりしかば巖より火燃えあがり肉と無酵パンを燒き盡せりかくてヱホバの使去てその目に見ずなりぬ

the aungel of the Lord helde forth the `ende of the yerde which he helde in the hond, and he touchide the fleischis, and the therf looues; and fier stiede fro the stoon, and wastide the fleischis, and therf looues. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord vanyschide fro hise iyen.

22 ギデオン是において彼がヱホバの使者なりしを覺りギデオンいひけるはああ神ヱホバよ我面を合せてヱホバの使者を見たれば將如何せん

And Gedeon siy that he was `an aungel of the Lord, and seide, Lord God, alas to me, for Y siy the aungel of the Lord face to face.

23 ヱホバ之にいひたまひけるは心安かれ怖るる勿れ汝死ぬることあらじ

And the Lord seide to hym, Pees be with thee; drede thou not, thou schalt not die.

24 ここにおいてギデオン彼所にヱホバのために祭壇を築き之をヱホバシヤロムと名けたり是は今日に至るまでアビエゼル人のオフラに存る

Therfor Gedeon bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he clepide it the Pees of the Lord, `til in to present dai. And whanne he was yit in Effra, which is of the meynee of Ezri, the Lord seide to hym in that nyyt,

25 其夜ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひ給ひけるは汝の父の少き牡牛および七歳なる第二の牛を取り汝の父のもてるバアルの祭壇を毀ち其上なるアシラの像を斫り仆し

Take thou `the bole of thy fadir, and anothir bole of seuene yeer, and thou schalt distrie the auter of Baal, which is thi fadris, and kitte thou doun the wode, which is aboute the auter;

26 汝の神ヱホバのためにこの堡砦の頂において次序をただしくし祭壇を築き第二の牛を取りて汝が斫り倒せるアシラの木をもて燔祭を供ぐべし

and thou schalt bilde an auter to thi Lord God in the hiynesse of this stoon, on which thou puttidist sacrifice bifore; and thou schalt take the secounde bole, and thou schalt offre brent sacrifice on the heep of trees, whiche thou kittidist doun of the wode.

27 ギデオンすなはちその僕十人を携へてヱホバのいひたまひしごとく行へりされど父の家のものどもおよび邑の人を怖れたれば晝之をなすことを得ず夜に入りて之を爲り

Therfore Gedeon took ten men of hise seruauntis, and dide as the Lord comaundide to hym. Sotheli Gedeon dredde the hows of his fadir, and the men of that citee, and nolde do bi dai, but fillide alle thingis bi nyyt.

28 邑の衆朝興出て視にバアルの祭壇は摧け其の上なるアシラの像は斫仆されて居り新に築る祭壇に第二の牛の供へてありしかば

And whanne men of that citee hadde rise eerly, thei sien the auter of Baal distried, and the wode kit doun, and the tothir bole put on the auter, that was bildid thanne.

29 たがひに此は誰が所爲ぞやと言ひつつ尋ね問ひけるに此はヨアシの子ギデオンの所爲なりといふものありたれば

And thei seiden togidere, Who hath do this? And whanne thei enqueriden the doer of the deed, it was seid, Gedeon, the sone of Joas, dide alle these thingis.

30 邑の人々ヨアシにむかひ汝の子を曳き出して死なしめよそは彼バアルの祭壇を摧き其上に在しアシラの像を斫仆したればなりといふ

And thei seiden to Joas, Brynge forth thi sone hidur, that he die, for he distriede the auter of Baal, and kittide doun the wode.

31 ヨアシおのれの周圍に立るすべてのものにいひけるは汝らはバアルの爲に爭論ふや汝らは之を救んとするや之が爲に爭論ふ者は朝の中に死べしバアルもし神ならば人其祭壇を摧きたれば自ら爭論ふ可なりと

To whiche he answeride, Whether ye ben the venieris of Baal, that ye fiyte for hym? he that is aduersarie of hym, die, bifor that the `liyt of the morew dai come; if he is God, venge he hym silf of hym that castide doun his auter.

32 是をもて人衆ギデオンその祭壇を摧きたればバアル自ら之といひあらそはんといひて此日かれをヱルバアル(バアルいひあらそはん)と呼なせり

Fro that dai Gedeon was clepid Gerobaal, for Joas hadde seid, Baal take veniaunce of hym that castide doun his auter.

33 茲にミデアン人アマレク人および東方の民相集まりて河を濟りヱズレルの谷に陣を取しが

Therfor al Madian, and Amalech, and the puplis of the eest weren gadirid to gidere, and passiden Jordan, and settiden tentis in the valey of Jezrael.

34 ヱホバの靈ギデオンに臨みてギデオン箛を吹たればアビエゼル人集りて之に從ふ

Forsothe the spirit of the Lord clothide Gedeon; `and he sownede with a clarioun, and clepide to gidere the hows of Abiezer, that it schulde sue hym.

35 ギデオン徧くマナセに使者を遣りしかばマナセ人また集りて之に從ふ彼またアセル、ゼブルン及びナフタリに使者を遣りしにその人々も上りて之を迎ふ

And he sente messangeris in to al Manasses, and he suede Gedeon; and he sente othere messangeris in to Aser, and Zabulon, and Neptalym, whiche camen to hym.

36 ギデオン神にいひけるは汝かつていひたまひしごとくわが手をもてイスラエルを救はんとしたまはば

And Gedeon seide to the Lord, If thou makist saaf Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke,

37 視よ我一箇の羊の毛を禾塲におかん露もし羊毛にのみおきて地はすべて燥きをらば我之れによりて汝がかつて言たまひし如く吾が手をもてイスラエルを救ひたまふを知んと

Y schal putte this flees of wolle in the corn floor; if dew is in the flees aloone, and drynesse is in al the erthe, Y schal wite, that thou schalt delyuere Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke.

38 すなはち斯ありぬ彼明る朝早く興きいで羊毛をかき寄てその毛より露を搾りしに鉢に滿つるほどの水いできたる

And it was don so. And he roos bi nyyt, and whanne the flees was wrongun out, he fillide a pot with deew;

39 ギデオン神にいひけるは我にむかひて怒を發したまふなかれ我をしていま一回いはしめたまへねがはくは我をして羊の毛をもていま一回試さしめたまへねがはくは羊毛のみを燥して地には悉く露あらしめたまへと

and he seide eft to the Lord, Thi strong veniaunce be not wrooth ayens me, if Y asaie, `that is, axe a signe, yit onys, and seke a signe in the flees; Y preye, that the flees aloone be drie, and al the erthe be moist with deew.

40 その夜神かくの如くに爲したまふすなはち羊毛のみ燥きて地には凡て露ありき

And the Lord dide in that nyyt, as Gedeon axide; and drynesse was in the flees aloone, and deew was in al the erthe.
