民数記 31

1 茲にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

2 汝イスラエルの子孫の仇をミデアン人に報ゆべし其後汝はその民に加はらん

Exact thou the avenging of the sons of Israel, from the Midianites, —and, afterwards, shalt thou be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk.

3 モーセすなはち民に告て言けるは汝らの中より人を選みて戰爭にいづる准備をなさしめ之をしてミデアン人に攻ゆかしめてヱホバの仇をミデアン人に報ゆべし

So Moses spake unto the people saying, Arm ye from among you men, for the war, and let them go against Midian, to render the avenging of Yahweh upon Midian.

4 即ちイスラエルの諸の支派につきて各々の支派より千人づつを取りこれを戰爭につかはすべしと

A thousand from each tribe, —of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send forth unto the war.

5 是において各々の支派より千人づつを選みイスラエルの衆軍の中より一萬二千人を得て戰爭にいづる准備をなさしむ

And there volunteered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of each tribe, —twelve thousand, armed for war.

6 モーセすなはち各々の支派より千人宛を戰爭に遣しまた祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスに聖器と吹鳴す喇叭を執しめて之とともに戰爭に遣せり

And Moses sent them a thousand of each tribe to the war, —them, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary, and the alarm trumpets, in his hand.

7 彼らヱホバのモーセに命じたまへるごとくミデアン人を攻撃ち遂にその中の男子をことごとく殺せり

So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and slew every male:

8 その殺しし者の外にまたミデアンの王五人を殺せりそのミデアンの王等はエビ、レケム、ツル、ホル、レバといふまたベオルの子バラムをも劍にかけて殺せり

and the kings of Midian, slew they besides their other slain namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian, —Balaam also, son of Beor, slew they with the sword.

9 イスラエルの子孫すなはちミデアンの婦女等とその子女を生擒りその家畜と羊の群とその貨財をことごとく奪ひ取り

And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, —all their cattle also and all their flocks and all their substance, carried they off as a prey;

10 その住居の邑々とその村々とを盡く火にて燒り

all their cities also in their sites, and all their encampments, burned they up with fire.

11 かくて彼等はその奪ひし物と掠めし物を人と畜ともに取り

Then took they all the spoil, and all the booty, —both of man and beast;

12 ヱリコに對するヨルダンの邊なるモアブの平野の營にその生擒し者と掠めし物と奪ひし物とを携へきたりてモーセと祭司エレアザルとイスラエルの子孫の會衆に詣れり

and brought in unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel—the captives and the booty, and the spoil unto the camp, —unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.

13 時にモーセと祭司エレアザルおよび會衆の牧伯等みな營の外に出て之を迎へたりしが

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly, went forth to meet them, —unto the outside of the camp.

14 モーセはその軍勢の領袖等すなはち戰爭より歸りきたれる千人の長等と百人の長等のなせる所を怒れり

Then was Moses sore displeased with the officers of the force, —the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds who were coming in from the warring host.

15 モーセすなはち彼等に言けるは汝らは婦女等をことごとく生し存しや

And Moses said unto them, —Have ye saved alive every female?

16 視よ是等の者はバラムの謀計によりイスラエルの子孫をしてペオルの事においてヱホバに罪を犯さしめ遂にヱホバの會衆の中に疫病おこるにいたらしめたり

Lo! they, became unto the sons of Israel, by the advice of Balaam, the cause of daring acts of treachery against Yahweh, over the affair of Peor, —and then came the plague against the assembly of Yahweh!

17 然ばこの子等の中の男の子を盡く殺しまた男と寝て男しれる婦人を盡く殺せ

Now, therefore, slay ye every male among the young, —every woman also that hath cohabited with man, slay ye.

18 但し未だ男と寝て男しれる事あらざる女の子はこれを汝らのために生し存べし

But all the young of womankind that have, not cohabited with man, preserve alive for yourselves.

19 而して汝らは七日の間營の外に居れ汝らの中凡そ人を殺せし者または殺されし者に捫りたる者は第三日と第七日にその身を潔め且その俘囚を潔むべし

Ye, then, pitch outside the camp, for seven days, —whosoever hath killed a person and whoever hath touched the slain, cleanse yourselves (from sin) on the third day and on the seventh day ye and your captives,

20 また一切の衣服と一切の皮の器具および凡て山羊の毛にて作れる物と凡て木にて造れる物を潔むべしと

Every garment also, and every article of skin and every thing made of goat’s-hair, and every article of wood, shall ye cleanse (from sin).

21 祭司エレアザル戰にいでし軍人等に言けるはヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる律法の例は是のごとし

Then said Eleazar the priest unto the men of the host, who had been to the war: This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded Moses:

22 金銀銅鐵錫鉛など

Surely the gold and the silver, —the bronze the iron, the tin and the lead,

23 凡て火に勝る物は火の中を通すべし然せば潔くならん然ながら尚また潔淨の水をもてこれを潔むべしまた凡て火に勝ざる者は水の中を通すべし

whatsoever thing can go into fire, ye shall pass through fire and it shall be clean, only with the water of separation, shall ye cleanse it (from sin). But whatsoever cannot go into fire, ye shall pass through water.

24 汝等は第七日にその衣服を洗ひて潔くなり然る後營にいるべし

And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and be clean, —and after-wards, shall ye come into the camp.

25 その時ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

26 汝と祭司エレアザルおよび會衆の族長等この取獲たる人と畜の總數をしらべ

Reckon thou up the sum of the booty that was captured, both of man and of beast, —thou and Eleazar the priest, and the ancestral heads of the assembly;

27 その獲物を二分に分てその一を戰爭にいでて戰ひし者に予へその一を全會衆に予へよ

and divide the booty into two parts, between them who took upon them the war, who went out in the host, —and all the [rest of the] assembly.

28 而して戰ひに出し軍人をして人または牛または驢馬または羊おのおの五百ごとに一をとりてヱホバに貢として奉つらしめよ

Then shalt thou levy a tribute unto Yahweh—from the men of war, who went forth in the host, one living thing, out of five hundred, —of the human beings, and of the herd, and of the asses and of the flock:

29 即ち彼らの一半より之をとりヱホバの擧祭として祭司エレアザルに與へよ

out of their half, shall ye take [them], —and thou shall give [them] unto Eleazar the priest as a heave-offering unto Yahweh.

30 またイスラエルの子孫の一半よりはその獲たる人または牛または驢馬または羊または種々の獣畜五十ごとに一を取りヱホバの幕屋の職守を守るところのレビ人にこれを與へよと

And out of the half allotted to the sons of Israel, shalt thou take one allotted portion out of fifty of the human beings, of the herd, of the asses and of the flock of all the cattle, —and shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the habitation of Yahweh.

31 モーセと祭司エレアザルすなはちヱホバのモーセに命じたまへるごとく爲り

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

32 その掠取物すなはち軍人等が奪ひ獲たる物の殘餘は羊六十七萬五千

And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was, —of the flock, six hundred and seventy-five thousand;

33 牛七萬二千

and, of the herd, seventy-two thousand;

34 驢馬六萬一千

and, of the asses, sixty-one thousand;

35 人三萬二千是みな未だ男と寝て男しれる事あらざる女なり

and, of the human persons, even of the woman-kind who had not cohabited with man, —all the persons, thirty-two thousand.

36 その一半すなはち戰爭にいでし者の分は羊三十三萬七千五百

And the half, the share of them who had gone forth in the host, was, —the number of the flock—three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred;

37 ヱホバに貢として奉つれる羊は六百七十五

and so, the tribute unto Yahweh, out of the flock, was—six hundred and seventy-five;

38 牛三萬六千その中よりヱホバに貢とせし者は七十二

and the herd, thirty-six thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh—seventy-two;

39 驢馬三萬五百その中よりヱホバに貢とせし者は六十一

and the asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, sixty-one;

40 人一萬六千その中よりヱホバに貢とせし者は三十二人

and the human persons, sixteen thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, thirty-two persons.

41 モーセその貢すなはちヱホバの擧祭なる者を祭司エレアザルに與へたりヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如し

And Moses gave the tribute—the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

42 モーセが戰爭に出しものより分ちとりてイスラエルの子孫に予へし一半

And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel, —which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host,

43 すなはち會衆に屬する一半は羊三十三萬七千五百

the half allotted unto the assembly, was—of the flock, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred;

44 牛三萬六千

and, of the herd, six and thirty thousand;

45 驢馬三萬五百

and, of asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;

46 人一萬六千

and, human persons, sixteen thousand.

47 すなはちイスラエルの子孫のその一半よりモーセ人と畜ともに各箇五十ごとに一を取りヱホバの幕屋の職守をまもるレビ人に之を與へたりヱホバのモーセに命じたまへるごとし

So then Moses took—out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel the allotted portion one out of fifty, of the human beings and of the beasts, —and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

48 時に其軍勢の帥士たりし者等すなはち千人の長百人の長等モーセにきたり

Then came near unto Moses the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host, —the princes of thousands and the princes of hundreds;

49 モーセに言けるは僕等我らの手に屬する軍人を數へたるにわれらの中一人も缺たる者なし

and said unto Moses, Thy servants have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand, —and there is not missed from among us, a man!

50 是をもて我ら各人その獲たる金の飾品すなはち鏈子釧指鐶耳環頸玉等をヱホバに携へきたりて禮物となし之をもて我らの生命のためにヱホバの前に贖罪をなさんとすと

Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found—articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings earrings and buckles, —to put a propitiatory-covering over our souls before Yahweh.

51 モーセと祭司エレアザルすなはち彼らよりその金を受たり是みな製り成る飾品なりき

So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, —all the wrought articles.

52 千人の長と百人の長たちがヱホバに献げて擧祭となせしその金は都合一萬六千七百五十シケル

And all the gold of the heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was—sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, —of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds.

53 軍人は各箇その掠取物をもて自分の有となせり

The men of the host, had taken prey, each man for himself.

54 モーセと祭司エレアザルは千人の長と百人の長等よりその金を受て集會の幕屋に携へいりヱホバの前におきてイスラエルの子孫の記念とならしむ

So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, —and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
