レビ記 26
1 あなたがたは自分のために、偶像を造ってはならない。また刻んだ像も石の柱も立ててはならない。またあなたがたの地に石像を立てて、それを拝んではならない。わたしはあなたがたの神、主だからである。
[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
2 あなたがたはわたしの安息日を守り、またわたしの聖所を敬わなければならない。わたしは主である。
“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
3 もしあなたがたがわたしの定めに歩み、わたしの戒めを守って、これを行うならば、
“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
4 わたしはその季節季節に、雨をあなたがたに与えるであろう。地は産物を出し、畑の木々は実を結ぶであろう。
I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
5 あなたがたの麦打ちは、ぶどうの取入れの時まで続き、ぶどうの取入れは、種まきの時まで続くであろう。あなたがたは飽きるほどパンを食べ、またあなたがたの地に安らかに住むであろう。
You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
6 わたしが国に平和を与えるから、あなたがたは安らかに寝ることができ、あなたがたを恐れさすものはないであろう。わたしはまた国のうちから悪い獣を絶やすであろう。つるぎがあなたがたの国を行き巡ることはないであろう。
“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
7 あなたがたは敵を追うであろう。彼らは、あなたがたのつるぎに倒れるであろう。
You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
8 あなたがたの五人は百人を追い、百人は万人を追い、あなたがたの敵はつるぎに倒れるであろう。
Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
9 わたしはあなたがたを顧み、多くの子を獲させ、あなたがたを増し、あなたがたと結んだ契約を固めるであろう。
“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
10 あなたがたは古い穀物を食べている間に、また新しいものを獲て、その古いものを捨てるようになるであろう。
When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
11 わたしは幕屋をあなたがたのうちに建て、心にあなたがたを忌みきらわないであろう。
I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
12 わたしはあなたがたのうちに歩み、あなたがたの神となり、あなたがたはわたしの民となるであろう。
I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
13 わたしはあなたがたの神、主であって、あなたがたをエジプトの国から導き出して、奴隷の身分から解き放った者である。わたしはあなたがたのくびきの横木を砕いて、まっすぐに立って歩けるようにしたのである。
I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
14 しかし、あなたがたがもしわたしに聞き従わず、またこのすべての戒めを守らず、
“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
15 わたしの定めを軽んじ、心にわたしのおきてを忌みきらって、わたしのすべての戒めを守らず、わたしの契約を破るならば、
and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
16 わたしはあなたがたにこのようにするであろう。すなわち、あなたがたの上に恐怖を臨ませ、肺病と熱病をもって、あなたがたの目を見えなくし、命をやせ衰えさせるであろう。あなたがたが種をまいてもむだである。敵がそれを食べるであろう。
these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
17 わたしは顔をあなたがたにむけて攻め、あなたがたは敵の前に撃ちひしがれるであろう。またあなたがたの憎む者があなたがたを治めるであろう。あなたがたは追う者もないのに逃げるであろう。
I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
18 それでもなお、あなたがたがわたしに聞き従わないならば、わたしはあなたがたの罪を七倍重く罰するであろう。
“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
19 わたしはあなたがたの誇とする力を砕き、あなたがたの天を鉄のようにし、あなたがたの地を青銅のようにするであろう。
I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
20 あなたがたの力は、むだに費されるであろう。すなわち、地は産物をいださず、国のうちの木々は実を結ばないであろう。
You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
21 もしあなたがたがわたしに逆らって歩み、わたしに聞き従わないならば、わたしはあなたがたの罪に従って七倍の災をあなたがたに下すであろう。
“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
22 わたしはまた野獣をあなたがたのうちに送るであろう。それはあなたがたの子供を奪い、また家畜を滅ぼし、あなたがたの数を少なくするであろう。あなたがたの大路は荒れ果てるであろう。
I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
23 もしあなたがたがこれらの懲しめを受けてもなお改めず、わたしに逆らって歩むならば、
“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
24 わたしもまたあなたがたに逆らって歩み、あなたがたの罪を七倍重く罰するであろう。
I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
25 わたしはあなたがたの上につるぎを臨ませ、違約の恨みを報いるであろう。あなたがたが町々に集まる時は、あなたがたのうちに疫病を送り、あなたがたは敵の手にわたされるであろう。
I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
26 わたしがあなたがたのつえとするパンを砕くとき、十人の女が一つのかまどでパンを焼き、それをはかりにかけてあなたがたに渡すであろう。あなたがたは食べても満たされないであろう。
When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
27 それでもなお、あなたがたがわたしに聞き従わず、わたしに逆らって歩むならば、
“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
28 わたしもあなたがたに逆らい、怒りをもって歩み、あなたがたの罪を七倍重く罰するであろう。
I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
29 あなたがたは自分のむすこの肉を食べ、また自分の娘の肉を食べるであろう。
[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
30 わたしはあなたがたの高き所をこぼち、香の祭壇を倒し、偶像の死体の上に、あなたがたの死体を投げ捨てて、わたしは心にあなたがたを忌みきらうであろう。
I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
31 わたしはまたあなたがたの町々を荒れ地とし、あなたがたの聖所を荒らすであろう。またわたしはあなたがたのささげる香ばしいかおりをかがないであろう。
I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
32 わたしがその地を荒らすゆえ、そこに住むあなたがたの敵はそれを見て驚くであろう。
I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
33 わたしはあなたがたを国々の間に散らし、つるぎを抜いて、あなたがたの後を追うであろう。あなたがたの地は荒れ果て、あなたがたの町々は荒れ地となるであろう。
I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
34 こうしてその地が荒れ果てて、あなたがたは敵の国にある間、地は安息を楽しむであろう。すなわち、その時、地は休みを得て、安息を楽しむであろう。
After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
35 それは荒れ果てている日の間、休むであろう。あなたがたがそこに住んでいる間、あなたがたの安息のときに休みを得なかったものである。
All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
36 またあなたがたのうちの残っている者の心に、敵の国でわたしは恐れをいだかせるであろう。彼らは木の葉の動く音にも驚いて逃げ、つるぎを避けて逃げる者のように逃げて、追う者もないのにころび倒れるであろう。
“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
37 彼らは追う者もないのに、つるぎをのがれる者のように折り重なって、つまずき倒れるであろう。あなたがたは敵の前に立つことができないであろう。
You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.
38 あなたがたは国々のうちにあって滅びうせ、あなたがたの敵の地はあなたがたをのみつくすであろう。
Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
39 あなたがたのうちの残っている者は、あなたがたの敵の地で自分の罪のゆえにやせ衰え、また先祖たちの罪のゆえに彼らと同じようにやせ衰えるであろう。
And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
40 しかし、彼らがもし、自分の罪と、先祖たちの罪、すなわち、わたしに反逆し、またわたしに逆らって歩んだことを告白するならば、
“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
41 たといわたしが彼らに逆らって歩み、彼らを敵の国に引いて行っても、もし彼らの無割礼の心が砕かれ、あまんじて罪の罰を受けるならば、
42 そのときわたしはヤコブと結んだ契約を思い起し、またイサクと結んだ契約およびアブラハムと結んだ契約を思い起し、またその地を思い起すであろう。
I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
43 しかし、彼らが地を離れて地が荒れ果てている間、地はその安息を楽しむであろう。彼らはまた、あまんじて罪の罰を受けるであろう。彼らがわたしのおきてを軽んじ、心にわたしの定めを忌みきらったからである。
But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
44 それにもかかわらず、なおわたしは彼らが敵の国におるとき、彼らを捨てず、また忌みきらわず、彼らを滅ぼし尽さず、彼らと結んだわたしの契約を破ることをしないであろう。わたしは彼らの神、主だからである。
But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.
45 わたしは彼らの先祖たちと結んだ契約を彼らのために思い起すであろう。彼らはわたしがその神となるために国々の人の目の前で、エジプトの地から導き出した者である。わたしは主である』」。
I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
46 これらは主が、シナイ山で、自分とイスラエルの人々との間に、モーセによって立てられた定めと、おきてと、律法である。
Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
