Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Madiam seven years.
イスラエルの子孫またヱホバの目のまへに惡を行ひたればヱホバ七年の間之をミデアン人の手に付したまふ
2 And the hand of Madiam prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks.
ミデアン人の手イスラエルにかてりイスラエルの子孫はミデアン人の故をもて山にある窟と洞穴と要害とをおのれのために造れり
3 And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with them.
イスラエル人蒔種してありける時しもミデアン人アマレキ人及び東方の民上り來りて押寄せ
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass among the herds.
イスラエル人に向ひて陣を取り地の産物を荒してガザにまで至りイスラエルのうちに生命を維ぐべき物を遺さず羊も驢馬も遺ざりき
5 For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.
夫この衆人は家畜と天幕を携へ上り蝗蟲の如くに數多く來れりその人と駱駝は數ふるに勝ず彼ら國を荒さんとて入きたる
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.
かかりしかばイスラエルはミデアン人のために大いに衰へイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼れり
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam.
イスラエルの子孫ミデアン人の故をもてヱホバに呼はりしかば
8 And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage.
ヱホバひとりの預言者をイスラエルの子孫に遣りて言はしめたまひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯くいひたまふ我かつて汝らをエジプトより上らせ汝らを奴隸たるの家より出し
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land.
エジプト人の手およびすべて汝らを虐ぐるものの手より汝らを拯ひいだし汝らの前より彼らを追ひはらひてその邦土を汝らに與へたり
10 And I said to you, I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but you listened not to my voice.
我また汝らに言り我は汝らの神ヱホバなり汝らが住ひ居るアモリ人の國の神を懼るるなかれとしかるに汝らは我が聲に從はざりき
11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
茲にヱホバの使者來りてアビエゼル人ヨアシの所有なるオフラの橡の樹のしたに坐す時にヨアシの子ギデオン、ミデアン人に奪はれざらんために酒榨のなかに麥を打ち居たりしが
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with you, you mighty in strength.
ヱホバの使之に現れて剛勇丈夫よヱホバ汝とともに在すといひたれば
13 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
ギデオン之にいひけるはああ吾が主よヱホバ我らと偕にいまさばなどてこれらのことわれらの上に及びたるやわれらの先祖がヱホバは我らをエジプトより上らしめたまひしにあらずやといひて我らに告たりしその諸の不思議なる行爲は何處にあるや今はヱホバわれらを棄てミデアン人の手に付したまへり
14 And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this your strength, and you shall save Israel out of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent you.
ヱホバ之を顧みていひたまひけるは汝此汝の力をもて行きミデアン人の手よりイスラエルを拯ひいだすべし我汝を遣すにあらずや
15 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father's house.
ギデオン之にいひけるはああ主よ我何をもてかイスラエルを拯ふべき視よわが家はマナセのうちの最も弱きもの我はまた父の家の最も卑賤きものなり
16 And the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with you, and you shall strike Madiam as one man.
ヱホバ之にいひたまひけるは我かならず汝とともに在ん汝は一人を撃がごとくにミデアン人を撃つことを得ん
17 And Gedeon said to him, If now I have found mercy in your eyes, and you will do this day for me all that you have spoken of with me,
ギデオン之にいひけるは我もし汝のまへに恩を蒙るならば請ふ我と語る者の汝なる證據を見せたまへ
18 depart not hence until I come to you, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before you: and he said, I will remain until you return.
ねがはくは我復び汝に來りわが祭物をたづさへて之を汝のまへに供ふるまでここを去たまふなかれ彼いひたまひけるは我汝の還るまで待つべし
19 And Gedeon went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew near.
ギデオンすなはち往て山羊の羔を調へ粉一エパをもて無酵パンをつくり肉を筺にいれ羹を壺に盛り橡樹の下にもち出て之を供へたれば
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: and he did so.
神の使之にいひたまひけるは肉と無酵パンをとりて此巖のうへに置き之に羹を斟げとすなはちそのごとくに行ふ
21 And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
ヱホバの使手にもてる杖の末端を出して肉と無酵パンに觸れたりしかば巖より火燃えあがり肉と無酵パンを燒き盡せりかくてヱホバの使去てその目に見ずなりぬ
22 And Gedeon saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
ギデオン是において彼がヱホバの使者なりしを覺りギデオンいひけるはああ神ヱホバよ我面を合せてヱホバの使者を見たれば將如何せん
23 And the Lord said to him, Peace be to you, fear not, you shall not die.
ヱホバ之にいひたまひけるは心安かれ怖るる勿れ汝死ぬることあらじ
24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still inEphratha of the father of Esdri.
ここにおいてギデオン彼所にヱホバのために祭壇を築き之をヱホバシヤロムと名けたり是は今日に至るまでアビエゼル人のオフラに存る
25 And it came to pass in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which your father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal which your father has, and the grove which is by itthou shall destroy.
其夜ヱホバ、ギデオンにいひ給ひけるは汝の父の少き牡牛および七歳なる第二の牛を取り汝の父のもてるバアルの祭壇を毀ち其上なるアシラの像を斫り仆し
26 And you shall build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering[it], and you shall take the second bullock, and shall offer up whole burnt offerings with the wood of the grove, which you shall destroy.
汝の神ヱホバのためにこの堡砦の頂において次序をただしくし祭壇を築き第二の牛を取りて汝が斫り倒せるアシラの木をもて燔祭を供ぐべし
27 And Gedeon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it by day, that he did it by night.
ギデオンすなはちその僕十人を携へてヱホバのいひたまひしごとく行へりされど父の家のものどもおよび邑の人を怖れたれば晝之をなすことを得ず夜に入りて之を爲り
28 And the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
邑の衆朝興出て視にバアルの祭壇は摧け其の上なるアシラの像は斫仆されて居り新に築る祭壇に第二の牛の供へてありしかば
29 And a man said to his neighbor, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learned that Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
たがひに此は誰が所爲ぞやと言ひつつ尋ね問ひけるに此はヨアシの子ギデオンの所爲なりといふものありたれば
30 And the men of the city said to Joas, Bring out your son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it.
邑の人々ヨアシにむかひ汝の子を曳き出して死なしめよそは彼バアルの祭壇を摧き其上に在しアシラの像を斫仆したればなりといふ
31 And Gedeon the son of Joas said to all the men who rose up against him, Do you now plead for Baal, or will you save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar.
ヨアシおのれの周圍に立るすべてのものにいひけるは汝らはバアルの爲に爭論ふや汝らは之を救はんとするや之が爲に爭論ふ者は朝の中に死べしバアルもし神ならば人其祭壇を摧きたれば自ら爭論ふ可なりと
32 And he called it in that day Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down.
是をもて人衆ギデオンその祭壇を摧きたればバアル自ら之といひあらそはんといひて此日かれをヱルバアル（バアルいひあらそはん）と呼なせり
33 And all Madiam, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezrael.
茲にミデアン人アマレク人および東方の民相集まりて河を濟りヱズレルの谷に陣を取しが
34 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after him.
ヱホバの靈ギデオンに臨みてギデオン箛を吹たればアビエゼル人集りて之に從ふ
35 And [Gedeon] sent messengers into all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he went up to meet them.
ギデオン徧くマナセに使者を遣りしかばマナセ人また集りて之に從ふ彼またアセル、ゼブルン及びナフタリに使者を遣りしにその人々も上りて之を迎ふ
36 And Gedeon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
ギデオン神にいひけるは汝かつていひたまひしごとくわが手をもてイスラエルを救はんとしたまはば
37 behold, I put the fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
視よ我一箇の羊の毛を禾塲におかん露もし羊毛にのみおきて地はすべて燥きをらば我之れによりて汝がかつて言たまひし如く吾が手をもてイスラエルを救ひたまふを知んと
38 And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water.
すなはち斯ありぬ彼明る朝早く興きいで羊毛をかき寄てその毛より露を搾りしに鉢に滿つるほどの水いできたる
39 And Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray you, your anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
ギデオン神にいひけるは我にむかひて怒を發したまふなかれ我をしていま一回いはしめたまへねがはくは我をして羊の毛をもていま一回試さしめたまへねがはくは羊毛のみを燥して地には悉く露あらしめたまへと
40 And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
その夜神かくの如くに爲したまふすなはち羊毛のみ燥きて地には凡て露ありき
