< Joshua 22 >

1 Then Joshua called together the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse,
茲にヨシユア、ルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半を召て
2 and said to them, Ye have heard all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and ye have hearkened to my voice in all that he commanded you.
これに言けるは汝らはヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命ぜし所をことごとく守り又わが汝らに命ぜし一切の事において我言に聽したがへり
3 Ye have not deserted your brethren these many days: until this day ye have kept the commandment of the Lord your God.
汝らは今日まで日ひさしく汝らの兄弟を離れずして汝らの神ヱホバの命令の言を守り來り
4 And now the Lord our God has given our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the other side Jordan.
今は已に汝らの神ヱホバなんぢらの兄弟に向に宣まひし如く安息を賜ふに至れり然ば汝ら身を轉らしヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの彼方なる汝等の產業の地に歸りて自己の天幕にゆけ
5 But take great heed to do the commands and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you to do; to love the Lord our God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commands, and to cleave to him, and serve him with all your mind, and with all your soul.
只ヱホバの僕モーセが汝らに命じおきし誡命と律法とを善く謹しみて行ひ汝らの神ヱホバを愛しその一切の途に歩みその命令を守りて之に附したがひ心を盡し精神を盡して之に事ふべしと
6 And Joshua blessed them, and dismissed them; and they went to their homes.
かくてヨシユア彼らを祝して去しめければ彼らはその天幕に往り
7 And to [one] half the tribe of Manasse Moses gave a portion in the land of Basan, and to [the other] half Joshua gave a portion with his brethren on the other side of Jordan westward: and when Joshua sent them away to their homes, then he blessed them.
マナセの支派の半にはモーセ、バシヤンにて產業を與へおけりその他の半にはヨシユア、ヨルダンの此旁西の方にてその兄弟等の中に產業を與ふヨシユア彼らをその天幕に歸し遣るに當りて之を祝し
8 And they departed with much wealth to their houses, and they divided the spoil of their enemies with their brethren; very much cattle, and silver, and gold, and iron, and much raiment.
之に告て言けるは汝ら衆多の貨財夥多しき家畜金銀銅鐵および夥多しき衣服をもちて汝らの天幕に歸り汝らの敵より獲たるその物を汝らの兄弟の中に分つべしと
9 So the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse, departed from the children of Israel in Selo in the land of Chanaan, to go away into Galaad, into the land of their possession, which they inherited by the command of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
爰にルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半はヱホバのモーセによりて命じ給ひし所に循ひて己の所有の地すなはち已に獲たるギレアデの地に往んとてカナンの地のシロよりしてイスラエルの子孫に別れて歸りけるが
10 And they came to Galaad of Jordan, which is in the land of Chanaan: and the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to look at.
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地のヨルダンの岸邊にいたるにおよびて彼處にてヨルダンの傍に一の壇を築けりその壇は大にして遥に見えわたる
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse have built an altar at the borders of the land of Chanaan at Galaad of Jordan, on the opposite side to the children of Israel.
イスラエルの子孫はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半カナンの地の前の部にてヨルダンの岸邊イスラエルの子孫に屬する方にて一の壇を築けりと言を聞り
12 And all the children of Israel gathered together to Selo, so as to go up and fight against them.
イスラエルの子孫これを聞と斉しくイスラエルの子孫の會衆ことごとくシロに集まりて彼らの所に攻のぼらんとす
13 And the children of Israel sent to the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and to the sons of the half tribe of Manasse into the land of Galaad, both Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,
イスラエルの子孫すなはち祭司エレアザルの子ピハネスをギレアデの地に遣はしてルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半の所に至らしめ
14 and ten of the chiefs with him; [there was] one chief of every household out of all the tribes of Israel; (the heads of families are the captains of thousands in Israel.)
イスラエルの各々の支派の中より父祖の家の牧伯一人づつを擧て合せて十人の牧伯を之に伴なはしむ是みなイスラエルの家族の中にて父祖の家の長たる者なりき
15 And they came to the sons of Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse into the land of Galaad; and they spoke to them, saying,
彼らギレアデの地に往きルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半にいたりて之に語りて言けらく
16 Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord, What [is] this transgression that ye have transgressed before the God of Israel, to turn away today from the Lord, in that ye have built for yourselves an altar, so that ye should be apostates from the Lord?
ヱホバの全會衆かく言ふ汝らイスラエルの神にむかひて愆を犯し今日すでに翻へりてヱホバに從がはざらんとし即ち己のために一の壇を築きて今日ヱホバに叛かんとするは何事ぞや
17 Is the sin of Phogor too little for you, whereas we have not been cleansed from it until this day, though there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord?
ベオルの罪われらに足ざらんや之がためにヱホバの會衆に災禍くだりたりしかども我ら今日までも尚身を潔めてその罪を棄ざるなり
18 And ye have this day revolted from the Lord; and it shall come to pass if ye revolt this day from the Lord, that to-morrow there shall be wrath upon all Israel.
然るに汝らは今日ひるがへりてヱホバに從がはざらんとするや汝ら今日ヱホバに叛けば明日はヱホバ、イスラエルの全會衆を怒りたまふべし
19 And now if the land of your possession [be too] little, cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, where the tabernacle of the Lord dwells, and receive ye an inheritance among us; and do not become apostates from God, neither do ye apostatize from the Lord, because of your having built an altar apart from the altar of the Lord our God.
然ながら汝らの所有の地もし潔からずばヱホバの幕屋のたてるヱホバの產業の地に濟り來て我らの中にて所有を獲よ惟われらの神ヱホバの壇の外に壇を築きてヱホバに叛く勿れまた我らに悖るなかれ
20 Lo! did not Achar the [son] of Zara commit a trespass [taking] of the accursed thing, and there was wrath on the whole congregation of Israel? and he himself died alone in his own sin.
ゼラの子アカン詛はれし物につきて愆を犯しつひにイスラエルの全會衆に震怒臨みしにあらずや且また其罪にて滅亡し者は彼人ひとりにはあらざりき
21 And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse answered, and spoke to the captains of the thousands of Israel, saying,
ルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの支派の半答へてイスラエルの宗族の長等に言けるは
22 God [even] God is the Lord, and God [even] God himself knows, and Israel he shall know; if we have transgressed before the Lord by apostasy, let him not deliver us this day.
諸の神の神ヱホバ諸の神の神ヱホバ知しめすイスラエルも亦知んもし叛く事あるひはヱホバに罪を犯す事ならば汝今日我らを救ふなかれ
23 And if we have built to ourselves an altar, so as to apostatize from the Lord our God, so as to offer upon it a sacrifice of whole-burnt-offerings, so as to offer upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering, —the Lord shall require it.
我らが壇を築きし事もし翻がへりてヱホバに從がはざらんが爲なるか又は其上に燔祭素祭を献げんが爲なるか又はその上に酬恩祭の犠牲を獻げんがためならばヱホバみづからその罪を問討したまへ
24 But we have done this for the sake of precaution [concerning this] thing, saying, Lest hereafter your sons should say to our sons, What have ye to do with the Lord God of Israel?
我等は遠き慮をもて故に斯なしたるなり即ち思ひけらく後の日にいたりて汝らの子孫われらの子孫に語りて言ならん汝らはイスラエルの神ヱホバと何の關係あらんや
25 Whereas the Lord has set boundaries between us and you, even Jordan, and ye have no portion in the Lord: so your sons shall alienate our sons, that they should not worship the Lord.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫よヱホバ我らと汝らの間にヨルダンを界となしたまへり汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと斯いひてなんぢらの子孫われらの子孫としてヱホバを畏るることを息しめんと
26 And we gave orders to do thus, to build this altar, not for burnt-offerings, nor for meat-offerings;
是故に我ら言けらく我らいま一の壇を我らのために築かんと是燔祭のために非ずまた犠牲のために非ず
27 but that this may be a witness between you and us, and between our posterity after us, that we may do service to the Lord before him, with our burnt-offerings and our meat-offerings and our peace-offerings: so your sons shall not say to our sons, hereafter, Ye have no portion in the Lord.
惟し之をして我らと汝らの間および我らの後の子孫の間に證とならしめて我ら燔祭犠牲および酬恩祭をもてヱホバの前にその職務をなさんがためなり然せば汝らの子孫後の日いたりて我らの子孫に汝らはヱホバの中に分なしと言こと無らん
28 And we said, If ever it should come to pass that they should speak [so] to us, or to our posterity hereafter; then shall they say, Behold the likeness of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for the sake of burnt-offerings, nor for the sake of meat-offerings, but it is a witness between you and us, and between our sons.
是をもて我ら言り彼らが我らまたは後の日に我らの子孫に然いはばその時我ら言ん我らの父祖の築きたりしヱホバの壇の模形を見よ是は燔祭のためにも非ずまた犠牲のためにもあらず我らと汝らとの間の證なり
29 Far be it from us therefore that we should turn away from the Lord this day so as to apostatize from the Lord, so as that we should build an altar for burnt-offerings, and for peace-offerings, besides the altar of the Lord which is before his tabernacle.
ヱホバに叛き翻へりて今日ヱホバに從がふことを息め我らの神ヱホバの幕屋の前にあるその祭壇の外に燔祭素祭犠牲などのために壇を築くことは我らの絶て爲ざる所なり
30 And Phinees the priest and all the chiefs of the congregation of Israel who were with him heard the words which the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse spoke; and it pleased them.
祭司ピネハスおよび會衆の長等即ち彼とともなるイスラエルの宗族の首等はルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫が述たる言を聞て善とせり
31 And Phinees the priest said to the sons of Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half of the tribe of Manasse, To-day we know that the Lord [is] with us, because ye have not trespassed grievously against the Lord, and because ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスすなはちルベンの子孫ガドの子孫およびマナセの子孫に言けるは我ら今日ヱホバの我らの中に在すを知る其は汝らヱホバにむかひて此愆を犯さざればなり今なんぢらはイスラエルの子孫をヱホバの手より救ひいだせりと
32 So Phinees the priest and the princes departed from the children of Ruben, and from the children of Gad, and from the half tribe of Manasse out of Galaad into the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel; and reported the words to them.
祭司エレアザルの子ピネハスおよび牧伯等すなはちルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫に別れてギレアデの地よりカナンの地に歸りイスラエルの子孫にいたりて復命しけるに
33 And it pleased the children of Israel; and they spoke to the children of Israel, and blessed the God of the children of Israel, and told them to go up no more to war against the others to destroy the land of the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse: so they dwelt upon it.
イスラエルの子孫これを善とせり而してイスラエルの子孫神を讃めルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫の住をる國を滅ぼしに攻上らんと重ねて言ざりき
34 And Joshua gave a name to the altar of the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse; and said, It is a testimony in the midst of them, that the Lord is their God.
ルベンの子孫およびガドの子孫その壇をエド(證)と名けて云ふ是は我らの間にありてヱホバは神にいますとの證をなす者なりと
