< 申命記 29 >

1 これは主がモーセに命じて、モアブの地でイスラエルの人々と結ばせられた契約の言葉であって、ホレブで彼らと結ばれた契約のほかのものである。
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 モーセはイスラエルのすべての人を呼び集めて言った、「あなたがたは主がエジプトの地で、パロと、そのすべての家来と、その全地とにせられたすべての事をまのあたり見た。
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 すなわちその大きな試みと、しるしと、大きな不思議とをまのあたり見たのである。
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 しかし、今日まで主はあなたがたの心に悟らせず、目に見させず、耳に聞かせられなかった。
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 わたしは四十年の間、あなたがたを導いて荒野を通らせたが、あなたがたの身につけた着物は古びず、足のくつは古びなかった。
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 あなたがたはまたパンも食べず、ぶどう酒も濃い酒も飲まなかった。こうしてあなたがたは、わたしがあなたがたの神、主であることを知るに至った。
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 あなたがたがこの所にきたとき、ヘシボンの王シホンと、バシャンの王オグがわれわれを迎えて戦ったが、われわれは彼らを撃ち敗って、
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 その地を取り、これをルベンびとと、ガドびとと、マナセびとの半ばとに、嗣業として与えた。
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 それゆえ、あなたがたはこの契約の言葉を守って、それを行わなければならない。そうすればあなたがたのするすべての事は栄えるであろう。
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 あなたがたは皆、きょう、あなたがたの神、主の前に立っている。すなわちあなたがたの部族のかしらたち、長老たち、つかさたちなど、イスラエルのすべての人々、
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 あなたがたの小さい者たちも、妻たちも、宿営のうちに寄留している他国人も、あなたのために、たきぎを割る者も、水をくむ者も、みな主の前に立って、
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 あなたの神、主が、きょう、あなたと結ばれるあなたの神、主の契約と誓いとに、はいろうとしている。
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 これは主がさきにあなたに約束されたように、またあなたの先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓われたように、きょう、あなたを立てて自分の民とし、またみずからあなたの神となられるためである。
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 わたしはただあなたがたとだけ、この契約と誓いとを結ぶのではない。
This agreement is not only with you.
15 きょう、ここで、われわれの神、主の前にわれわれと共に立っている者ならびに、きょう、ここにわれわれと共にいない者とも結ぶのである。
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 われわれがどのようにエジプトの国に住んでいたか、どのように国々の民の中を通ってきたか、それはあなたがたが知っている。
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 またあなたがたは木や石や銀や金で造った憎むべき物と偶像とが、彼らのうちにあるのを見た。
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 それゆえ、あなたがたのうちに、きょう、その心にわれわれの神、主を離れてそれらの国民の神々に行って仕える男や女、氏族や部族があってはならない。またあなたがたのうちに、毒草や、にがよもぎを生ずる根があってはならない。
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 そのような人はこの誓いの言葉を聞いても、心に自分を祝福して『心をかたくなにして歩んでもわたしには平安がある』と言うであろう。そうすれば潤った者も、かわいた者もひとしく滅びるであろう。
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 主はそのような人をゆるすことを好まれない。かえって主はその人に怒りとねたみを発し、この書物にしるされたすべてののろいを彼の上に加え、主はついにその人の名を天の下から消し去られるであろう。
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 主はイスラエルのすべての部族のうちからその人を区別して災をくだし、この律法の書にしるされた契約の中のもろもろののろいのようにされるであろう。
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 後の代の人、すなわちあなたがたののちに起るあなたがたの子孫および遠い国から来る外国人は、この地の災を見、主がこの地にくだされた病気を見て言うであろう。
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 全地は硫黄となり、塩となり、焼け土となって、種もまかれず、実も結ばず、なんの草も生じなくなって、むかし主が怒りと憤りをもって滅ぼされたソドム、ゴモラ、アデマ、ゼボイムの破滅のようである。
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 すなわち、もろもろの国民は言うであろう、『なぜ、主はこの地にこのようなことをされたのか。この激しい大いなる怒りは何ゆえか』。
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 そのとき人々は言うであろう、『彼らはその先祖の神、主がエジプトの国から彼らを導き出して彼らと結ばれた契約をすて、
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 行って彼らの知らない、また授からない、ほかの神々に仕えて、それを拝んだからである。
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 それゆえ主はこの地にむかって怒りを発し、この書物にしるされたもろもろののろいをこれにくだし、
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 そして主は怒りと、はげしい怒りと大いなる憤りとをもって彼らをこの地から抜き取って、ほかの国に投げやられた。今日見るとおりである』。
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 隠れた事はわれわれの神、主に属するものである。しかし表わされたことは長くわれわれとわれわれの子孫に属し、われわれにこの律法のすべての言葉を行わせるのである。
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
