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
And it came to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, —Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites, first, to make war upon them?
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
And Yahweh said—Judah, shall go, —lo! I have delivered the land into his power.
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 said Judah, unto Simeon his brother—Come up with me into the territory allotted me, and let us make war on the Canaanites, then will, I also, go with thee, into thy territory. So Simeon went with him.
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
And Judah went up, and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, —and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
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 they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek, and fought with him, —and smote the Canaanites and the 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
But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued him, —and took him, and cut off his thumbs, and his great 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 said Adoni-bezek—Seventy kings, with their thumbs and great toes cut off, have been picking up crumbs under my table, as I have done, so, hath God requited me. And they brought him into Jerusalem, and he died there.
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
And the sons of Judah made war upon Jerusalem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, —and, the city, they set 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
And, afterwards, the sons of Judah went down to make war upon the Canaanites, —dwelling in the hill country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
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〕
And Judah went against the Canaanites who were dwelling in Hebron, now, the name of Hebron, formerly, was Kiriath-arba, —and they smote Sheshai and 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〕
And he went from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, —now, the name of Debir, formerly, was 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, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah my daughter, to wife.
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
Then Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it, —and he gave him Achsah his daughter, to wife.
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
And it came pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her—What aileth thee?
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
And she said unto him—Give me a present; for, south land, hast thou given me, give me therefore pools of water. So Caleb gave her Upper-pools, and Lower-pools.
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 sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, had come up from the city of palm-trees, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, —so they went and dwelt with 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 went Judah, with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites dwelling in Zephath, —and devoted it to destruction, and the name of the city 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 captured Gaza with the boundaries thereof, and Ashkelon, with the boundaries thereof, —and Ekron, with the boundaries thereof.
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
And it same to pass that Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, —but did not dispossess the inhabitants of the vale, 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
So they gave unto Caleb Hebron, as spake Moses, —and he drave out from thence 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
But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out, —but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day.
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
Then went up the house of Joseph—they also, —unto Bethel, —and, Yahweh, 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〕
And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel, —now, the name of the city, formerly, was, 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
So the watchers saw a man, coming forth from the city, —and they said unto him—Shew us, we pray thee, the way to get into the city, and we will deal with thee, in lovingkindness.
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
And he shewed them the way to get into the city, and they smote the city, with the edge of the sword, —but, the man and all his family, they let go.
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 into the land of the Hittites, —and built a city, and called the name thereof, Luz, that, is the name thereof, unto 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
But Manasseh took not possession of Beth-shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns, —but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this 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, however, had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, —though they, dispossessed, them not.
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
And, Ephraim, dispossessed not the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gezer, —so the Canaanites remained in their midst, 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, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, —but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute.
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, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, —nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of 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
but the Asherites dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —for they dispossessed them not.
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, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but they dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —and, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath, became theirs, under tribute.
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
And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, —for they suffered them not to come down into the vale;
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, though the Amorites were determined to remain in the hill country of Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, yet was the hand of the house of Joseph heavy, so that they came under tribute.
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 boundary of the Amorites, was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upwards.
