Deuteronomy 21
1 If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him,
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて獲させたまふ地において若し人殺されて野に仆れをるあらんに之を殺せる者の誰なるかを知ざる時は
2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.
汝の長老等と士師等出きたりその人の殺されをる處よりその四周の邑々までを度るべし
3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke.
而してその人の殺されをる處に最も近き邑すなはちその邑の長老等は未だ使はず未だ軛を負せて牽ざるところの少き牝牛を取り
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
邑の長老等その牝牛を耕すことも種蒔こともせざる流つきせぬ谷に牽ゆきその谷において牝牛の頸を折べし
5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the LORD’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.
その時は祭司たるレビの子孫等其處に進み來るべし彼らは汝の神ヱホバが選びて己に事へしめまたヱホバの名をもて祝することを爲しめたまふ者にて一切の訴訟と一切の爭競は彼らの口によりて決定るべきが故なり
6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
而してその人の殺されをりし處に最も近き邑の長老等その谷にて頸を折たる牝牛の上において手を洗ひ
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
答へて言べし我らの手はこの血を流さず我らの目はこれを見ざりしなり
8 Forgive, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.
ヱホバよ汝が贖ひし汝の民イスラエルを赦したまへこの辜なき者の血を流せる罰を汝の民イスラエルの中に降したまふ勿れと斯せば彼らその血の罪を赦されん
9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.
汝かくヱホバの善と觀たまふ事をおこなひその辜なき者の血を流せる咎を汝らの中より除くべし
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive,
汝出て汝の敵と戰ふにあたり汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の手に付したまひて汝これを俘虜となしたる時
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,
汝もしその俘虜の中に貌美しき女あるを見てこれを悦び取て妻となさんとせば
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails.
汝の家の中にこれを携へゆくべし而して彼はその髮を剃り爪を截り
13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
まだ俘虜の衣服を脱すてて汝の家に居りその父母のために一月のあひだ哀哭べし然る後なんぢ故の處に入りてこれが夫となりこれを汝の妻とすべし
14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.
その後汝もし彼を好まずなりなば彼の心のままに去ゆかしむべし決して金のためにこれを賣べからず汝すでにこれを犯したれば之を嚴く待遇べからざるなり
15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,
人二人の妻ありてその一人は愛する者一人は惡む者ならんにその愛する者と惡む者の二人ともに男の子を生ありてその長子もし惡む婦の產る者なる時は
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
その子等に己の所有を嗣しむる日にその惡む婦の產る長子を措てその愛する婦の產る子を長子となすべからず
17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
必ずその惡む者の產る子を長子となし己の所有を分つ時にこれには二倍を與ふべし是は己の力の始にして長子の權これに屬すればなり
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them,
人にもし放肆にして背悖る子ありその父の言にも母の言にも順はず父母これを責るも聽ことをせざる時は
19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.
その父母これを執へてその處の門にいたり邑の長老等に就き
20 They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
邑の長老たちに言べし我らの此子は放肆にして背悖る者我らの言にしたがはざる者放蕩にして酒に耽る者なりと
21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.
然る時は邑の人みな石をもて之を撃殺すべし汝かく汝らの中より惡事を除き去べし然せばイスラエルみな聞て懼れん
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
人もし死にあたる罪を犯して死刑に遇ことありて汝これを木に懸て曝す時は
23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
翌朝までその體を木の上に留おくべからず必ずこれをその日の中に埋むべし其は木に懸らるる者はヱホバに詛はるる者なればなり斯するは汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふて產業となさしめたまふ地の汚れざらんためなり
