Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
ヨシュアが死んだ後、イスラエルの人々は主に問うて言った、「わたしたちのうち、だれが先に攻め上って、カナンびとと戦いましょうか」。
2 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
主は言われた、「ユダが上るべきである。わたしはこの国を彼の手にわたした」。
3 And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.
ユダはその兄弟シメオンに言った、「わたしと一緒に、わたしに割り当てられた領地へ上って行って、カナンびとと戦ってください。そうすればわたしもあなたと一緒に、あなたに割り当てられた領地へ行きましょう」。そこでシメオンは彼と一緒に行った。
4 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
ユダが上って行くと、主は彼らの手にカナンびととペリジびととをわたされたので、彼らはベゼクで一万人を撃ち破り、
5 And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
またベゼクでアドニベゼクに会い、彼と戦ってカナンびととペリジびととを撃ち破った。
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
アドニベゼクは逃げたが、彼らはそのあとを追って彼を捕え、その手足の親指を切り放った。
7 And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
アドニベゼクは言った、「かつて七十人の王たちが手足の親指を切られて、わたしの食卓の下で、くずを拾ったことがあったが、神はわたしがしたように、わたしに報いられたのだ」。人々は彼をエルサレムへ連れて行ったが、彼はそこで死んだ。
8 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
ユダの人々はエルサレムを攻めて、これを取り、つるぎをもってこれを撃ち、町に火を放った。
9 And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
その後、ユダの人々は山地とネゲブと平地に住んでいるカナンびとと戦うために下ったが、
10 And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
ユダはまずヘブロンに住んでいるカナンびとを攻めて、セシャイとアヒマンとタルマイを撃ち破った。ヘブロンのもとの名はキリアテ・アルバであった。
11 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
またそこから進んでデビルの住民を攻めた。（デビルのもとの名はキリアテ・セペルであった。）
12 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
時にカレブは言った、「キリアテ・セペルを撃って、これを取る者には、わたしの娘アクサを妻として与えるであろう」。
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
カレブの弟ケナズの子オテニエルがそれを取ったので、カレブは娘アクサを妻として彼に与えた。
14 And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
アクサは行くとき彼女の父に畑を求めることを夫にすすめられたので、アクサがろばから降りると、カレブは彼女に言った、「あなたは何を望むのか」。
15 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
アクサは彼に言った、「わたしに贈り物をください。あなたはわたしをネゲブの地へやられるのですから、泉をもください」。それでカレブは上の泉と下の泉とを彼女に与えた。
16 And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they lived with the people.
モーセのしゅうとであるケニびとの子孫はユダの人々と共に、しゅろの町からアラドに近いネゲブにあるユダの野に上ってきて、アマレクびとと共に住んだ。
17 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
そしてユダはその兄弟シメオンと共に行って、ゼパテに住んでいたカナンびとを撃ち、それをことごとく滅ぼした。これによってその町の名はホルマと呼ばれた。
18 But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
ユダはまたガザとその地域、アシケロンとその地域、エクロンとその地域を取った。
19 And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
主がユダと共におられたので、ユダはついに山地を手に入れたが、平地に住んでいた民は鉄の戦車をもっていたので、これを追い出すことができなかった。
20 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
人々はモーセがかつて言ったように、ヘブロンをカレブに与えたので、カレブはその所からアナクの三人の子を追い出した。
21 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
ベニヤミンの人々はエルサレムに住んでいたエブスびとを追い出さなかったので、エブスびとは今日までベニヤミンの人々と共にエルサレムに住んでいる。
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
ヨセフの一族はまたベテルに攻め上ったが、主は彼らと共におられた。
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
すなわちヨセフの一族は人をやってベテルを探らせた。この町のもとの名はルズであった。
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
その斥候たちは町から出てきた人を見て、言った、「どうぞこの町にはいる道を教えてください。そうすればわたしたちはあなたに恵みを施しましょう」。
25 And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
彼が町にはいる道を教えたので、彼らはつるぎをもって町を撃った。しかし、かの人とその家族は自由に去らせた。
26 And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.
その人はヘテびとの地に行って町を建て、それをルズと名づけた。これは今日までその名である。
27 And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.
マナセはベテシャンとその村里の住民、タアナクとその村里の住民、ドルとその村里の住民、イブレアムとその村里の住民、メギドとその村里の住民を追い出さなかったので、カナンびとは引き続いてその地に住んでいたが、
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
イスラエルは強くなったとき、カナンびとを強制労働に服させ、彼らをことごとくは追い出さなかった。
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.
またエフライムはゲゼルに住んでいたカナンびとを追い出さなかったので、カナンびとはゲゼルにおいて彼らのうちに住んでいた。
30 And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite lived in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
ゼブルンはキテロンの住民およびナハラルの住民を追い出さなかったので、カナンびとは彼らのうちに住んで強制労働に服した。
31 And Aser did not drive out the inhabitants of Accho, and [that people] became tributary to him, nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.
アセルはアッコの住民およびシドン、アヘラブ、アクジブ、ヘルバ、アピク、レホブの住民を追い出さなかったので、
32 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
アセルびとは、その地の住民であるカナンびとのうちに住んでいた。彼らが追い出さなかったからである。
33 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
ナフタリはベテシメシの住民およびベテアナテの住民を追い出さずに、その地の住民であるカナンびとのうちに住んでいた。しかしベテシメシとベテアナテの住民は、ついに彼らの強制労働に服した。
34 And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
アモリびとはダンの人々を山地に追い込んで平地に下ることを許さなかった。
35 And the Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
アモリびとは引き続いてハルヘレス、アヤロン、シャラビムに住んでいたが、ヨセフの一族の手が強くなったので、彼らは強制労働に服した。
36 And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
アモリびとの境はアクラビムの坂からセラを経て上の方に及んだ。
