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 cometh to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask at Jehovah, saying, 'Who doth go up for us unto the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?'

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 Jehovah saith, 'Judah doth go up; lo, I have given the land into his hand.'

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

And Judah saith to Simeon his brother, 'Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite — and I have gone, even I, with thee into thy lot;' and Simeon goeth 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 goeth up, and Jehovah giveth the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they smite 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 find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite.

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

And Adoni-Bezek fleeth, and they pursue after him, and seize 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

and Adoni-Bezek saith, 'Seventy kings — their thumbs and their great toes cut off — have been gathering under my table; as I have done so hath God repaid to me;' and they bring him in to Jerusalem, and he dieth 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 fight against Jerusalem, and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and the city they have sent into 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 have the sons of Judah gone down to fight against the Canaanite, inhabiting the hill-country, and the south, and the low country;

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 goeth unto the Canaanite who is dwelling in Hebron (and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba), and they smite 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 goeth thence unto the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir formerly [is] Kirjath-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 saith, 'He who smiteth Kirjath-Sepher — and hath captured it — then I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a 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

And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a 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 cometh to pass in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father the field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, 'What — to 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 saith to him, 'Give to me a blessing; when the south land thou hast given me — then thou hast given to me springs of water; and Caleb giveth to her the upper springs and the 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

And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah [to] the wilderness of Judah, which [is] in the south of Arad, and they go and dwell 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

And Judah goeth with Simeon his brother, and they smite the Canaanite inhabiting Zephath, and devote it; and [one] calleth the name of the city 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 captureth Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;

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 Jehovah is with Judah, and he occupieth the hill-country, but not to dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, for they have 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

And they give to Caleb Hebron, as Moses hath spoken, and he dispossesseth 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

And the Jebusite, inhabiting Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed; and the Jebusite dwelleth with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, till 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

And the house of Joseph go up — even they — to Beth-El, and Jehovah [is] 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 cause [men] to spy about Beth-El (and the name of the city formerly is 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 the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, 'Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance of the city, and we have done with thee kindness.'

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 sheweth them the entrance of the city, and they smite the city by the mouth of the sword, and the man and all his family they have sent away;

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 goeth to the land of the Hittites, and buildeth a city, and calleth its name Luz — it [is] its name 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

And Manasseh hath not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous 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

and it cometh to pass, when Israel hath been strong, that he setteth the Canaanite to tribute, and hath not utterly dispossessed it.

and the Amorite is desirous to dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and the hand of the house of Joseph is heavy, and they become tributary;
