士師記 1
1 ヨシユアの死にたるのちイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに問ひていひけるはわれらの中孰か先に攻め登りてカナン人と戰ふべきや
After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, “Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?”
2 ヱホバいひたまひけるはユダ上るべし視よ我此國を其の手に付すと
“Judah shall go up,” answered the LORD. “Indeed, I have delivered the land into their hands.”
3 ユダその兄弟シメオンに言けるは我と共にわが領地にのぼりてカナン人と戰へわれもまた偕に汝の領地に往べしとここにおいてシメオンかれとともにゆけり
Then the men of Judah said to their brothers the Simeonites, “Come up with us to our allotted territory, and let us fight against the Canaanites. And we likewise will go with you to your territory.” So the Simeonites went with them.
4 ユダすなはち上りゆきけるにヱホバその手にカナン人とペリジ人とを付したまひたればベゼクにて彼ら一萬人を殺し
When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
5 またベゼクにおいてアドニベゼクにゆき逢ひこれと戰ひてカナン人とペリジ人を殺せり
And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6 しかるにアドニベゼク逃れ去りしかばそのあとを追ひてこれを執へその手足の巨擘を斫りはなちたれば
As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 アドニベゼクいひけるは七十人の王たちかつてその手足の巨擘を斫られて我が食几のしたに屑を拾へり神わが曾て行ひしところをもてわれに報いたまへるなりと衆之を曳てエルサレムに至りしが其處にしねり
Then Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
8 ユダの子孫エルサレムを攻めてこれを取り刃をもてこれを撃ち邑に火をかけたり
Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
9 かくてのちユダの子孫山と南方の方および平地に住めるカナン人と戰はんとて下りしが
Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills.
10 ユダまづヘブロンに住るカナン人を攻めてセシヤイ、アヒマンおよびタルマイを殺せり〔ヘブロンの舊の名はキリアテアルバなり〕
Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 またそこより進みてデビルに住るものを攻む〔デビルの舊の名はキリアテセペルなり〕
From there they marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
12 時にカレブいひけるはキリアテセペルをうちてこれを取るものにはわが女アクサをあたへて妻となさんと
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
13 カレブの舍弟ケナズの子オテニエルこれを取ければすなはちその女アクサをこれが妻にあたふ
So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
14 アクサ往くときおのれの父に田圃を求めんことを夫にすすめたりしがつひにアクサ驢馬より下りければカレブこれは何事ぞやといふに
One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
15 答へけるはわれに惠賜をあたへよなんぢ南の地をわれにあたへたればねがはくは源泉をもわれにあたへよとここにおいてカレブ上の源泉と下の源泉とをこれにあたふ
“Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
16 モーセの外舅ケニの子孫ユダの子孫と偕に棕櫚の邑よりアラドの南なるユダの野にのぼり來りて民のうちに住居せり
Now the descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms to the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad. They went to live among the people.
17 茲にユダその兄弟シメオンとともに往きてゼバテに住るカナン人を撃ちて盡くこれを滅ぼせり是をもてその邑の名をホルマと呼ぶ
Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction. So it was called Hormah.
18 ユダまたガザと其の境アシケロンとその境およびエクロンとその境を取り
And Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron—each with its territory.
19 ヱホバ、ユダとともに在したればかれつひに山地を手に入れたりしが谷に住る民は鐵の戰車をもちたるが故にこれを逐出すこと能はざりき
The LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had chariots of iron.
20 衆モーセのかつていひし如くヘブロンをカレブに與ふカレブそのところよりアナクの三人の子をおひ出せり
Just as Moses had promised, Judah gave Hebron to Caleb, who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak.
21 ベニヤミンの子孫はエルサレムに住るエブス人を追出さざりしりかばエブス人は今日に至るまでベニヤミンの子孫とともにエルサレムに住ふ
The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.
22 茲にヨセフの族またベテルをさして攻め上るヱホバこれと偕に在しき
The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
23 ヨセフの族すなはちベテルを窺察しむ〔此邑の舊の名はルズなり〕
They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),
24 その間者邑より人の出來るを見てこれにいひけるは請ふわれらに邑の入口を示せさらば汝に恩慈を施さんと
and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”
25 彼邑の入口を示したればすなはち刃をもて邑を撃てり然ど彼の人と其家族をばみな縱ち遣りぬ
So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.
26 その人ヘテ人の地にゆき邑を建てルズと名けたり今日にいたるまでこれを其名となす
And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 マナセはベテシヤンとその村里の民タアナクとその村里の民ドルとその村里の民イプレアムとその村里の民メギドンとその村里の民を逐ひ出さざりきカナン人はなほその地に住ひ居る
At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
28 イスラエルはその強なりしときカナン人をして貢を納れしめたりしが之を全く追ひいだすことは爲ざりき
When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.
29 エフライムはゲゼルに住るカナン人を逐ひいださざりきカナン人はゲゼルにおいてかれらのうちに住み居たり
Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
30 ゼブルンはまたキテロンの民およびナハラルの民を逐ひいださざりきカナン人かれらのうちに住みて貢ををさむるものとなりぬ
Zebulun failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced laborers.
31 アセルはアツコの民およびシドン、アヘラブ、アクジブ、ヘルバ、アピク、レホブの民を逐ひ出さざりき
Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
32 アセル人は其地の民なるカナン人のうちに住み居たりそはこれを逐ひ出さざりしゆゑなり
So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
33 ナフタリはベテシメシの民およびベテアナテの民を逐ひ出さずその地の民なるカナン人のうちに住み居たりベテシメシとベテアナテの民はつひにかれらに貢を納むるものとなりぬ
Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
34 アモリ人ダンの子孫を山におひこみ谷に下ることを得させざりき
The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain.
35 アモリ人はなほヘレス山アヤロン、シヤラビムに住ひ居りしがヨセフの家の手力勝りたれば終に貢を納むるものとなりぬ
And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.
36 アモリ人の界はアクラビムの阪よりセラを經て上に至れり
And the border of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.
