申命記 9

1 イスラエルよ聽け汝は今日ヨルダンを濟りゆき汝よりも大にして強き國々に入てこれを取んとすその邑々は大にして石垣は天に達り

Hear, Israel; you are about to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, and cities that are great and fortified up to heaven,

2 その民は汝が知ところのアナクの子孫にして大くかつ身長たかし汝また人の言るを聞り云く誰かアナクの子孫の前に立ことを得んと

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard people say, 'Who can stand before the sons of Anak?'

3 汝今日知る汝の神ヱホバは燬つくす火にましまして汝の前に進みたまふとヱホバかならず彼らを滅ぼし彼らを汝の前に攻伏たまはんヱホバの汝に言たまひし如く汝かれらを逐はらひ速かに彼らを滅ぼすべし

Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you like a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so will you drive them out and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has said to you.

4 汝の神ヱホバ汝の前より彼らを逐はらひたまはん後に汝心に言なかれ云く我の義がためにヱホバ我をこの地に導きいりてこれを獲させたまへりとそはこの國々の民の惡きがためにヱホバ之を汝の前より逐はらひたまふなり

Do not say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, 'It was because of my righteousness that Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land,' for it was because of the wickedness of these nations that Yahweh is driving them out from before you.

5 汝の往てその地を獲は汝の義きによるにあらず又なんぢの心の直によるに非ずこの國々の民惡きが故に汝の神ヱホバこれを汝の前より逐はらひたまふなりヱホバの斯したまふはまた汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓たりし言を行はんとてなり

It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that your God is driving them out from before you, and so that he may make come true the word that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 汝知る汝の神ヱホバの汝に此美地を與へて獲させたまふは汝の義きによるに非ず汝は項の強き民なればなり

Know therefore, that Yahweh your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people.

7 汝曠野に於て汝の神ヱホバを怒せし事を憶えて忘るる勿れ汝らはエジプトの地を出し日より此處にいたる日まで常にヱホバに悖れり

Remember and do not forget how you provoked Yahweh your God to anger in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

8 ホレブにおいて汝らヱホバを怒せたればヱホバ汝らを怒りて汝らを滅ぼさんとしたまへり

Also at Horeb you provoked Yahweh to anger, and Yahweh was angry enough with you to destroy you.

9 かの時われ石の板すなはちヱホバの汝らに立たまへる契約を載る石の板を受んとて山に上り四十日四十夜山に居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき

When I went up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that Yahweh made with you, I stayed on the mountain for forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

10 ヱホバ我に神の指をもて書しるしたる文字ある石の板二枚を授けたまへりその上には集會の日にヱホバが山において火の中より汝らに告たまひし言をことごとく載す

Yahweh gave to me the two tablets of stone written with his finger; on them was written everything just like all the words that Yahweh announced to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly.

11 すなはち四十日四十夜過し時ヱホバ我にその契約を載る板なる石の板二枚を授け

It happened at the end of those forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

12 而してヱホバ我に言たまひけるは汝起あがりて速かに此より下れ汝がエジプトより導き出しし民は惡き事を行ふなり彼らは早くもわが彼らに命ぜし道を離れて自己のために偶像を鋳造れりと

Yahweh said to me, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the path that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a cast figure.'

13 ヱホバまた我に言たまひけるは我この民を觀たり視よ是は項の強き民なり

Furthermore, Yahweh spoke to me and said, 'I have seen this people; they are a stubborn people.

14 我を阻むるなかれ我かれらを滅ぼしその名を天が下より抹さり汝をして彼らよりも強くまた大なる民とならしむべし

Let me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'

15 是に於て我身をめぐらして山を下りけるが山は火にて燒をる又その契約の板二枚はわが兩の手にあり

So I turned around and came down the mountain, and the mountain was burning. The two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.

16 斯て我觀しに汝らはその神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯し自己のために犢を鋳造りて早くもヱホバの汝らに命じたまひし道を離れたりしかば

I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had molded for yourselves a calf. You had quickly turned aside out of the path that Yahweh had commanded you.

17 我その二枚の板をとりてわが兩の手よりこれを擲ち汝らの目の前にこれを碎けり

I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands. I broke them before your eyes.

18 而して我は前のごとく四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏て居りパンも食ず水も飮ざりき是は汝らヱホバの目の前に惡き事をおこなひ之を怒せて大に罪を獲たればなり

Again I lay facedown before Yahweh for forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin that you had committed, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger.

19 ヱホバ忿怒を發し憤恨をおこし汝らを怒りて滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我懼れたりしが此度もまたヱホバ我に聽たまへり

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry enough against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

20 ヱホバまた痛くアロンを怒りてこれを滅ぼさんとしたまひしかば我その時またアロンのために祈れり

Yahweh was very angry with Aaron so as to destroy him; I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

21 斯て我なんぢらが作りて罪を犯しし犢を取り火をもて之を燒きこれを搗きこれを善く打碎きて細き塵となしその塵を山より流れ下るところの渓流に投棄たり

I took your sin, the calf that you had made, and burned it, beat it, and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the stream that came down from the mountain.

22 汝らはタベラ、マツサおよびキブロテハツタワにおいてもまたヱホバを怒らせたり

At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

23 またヱホバ、カデシバルネアより汝らを遣さんとせし時言たまひけるは汝ら上りゆきて我がなんぢらに與ふる地を獲て產業とせよと然るに汝らはその神ヱホバの命に悖り之を信ぜずまたその言を聽ざりき

When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea and said, 'Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,' then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you did not believe or listen to his voice.

24 我が汝らを識し日より以來汝らは常にヱホバに悖りしなり

You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

25 かの時ヱホバ汝らを滅さんと言たまひしに因て我最初に伏たる如く四十日四十夜ヱホバの前に伏し

So I lay facedown before Yahweh those forty days and forty nights, because he had said that he would destroy you.

26 ヱホバに祈りて言けるは主ヱホバよ汝その大なる權能をもて贖ひ強き手をもてエジプトより導き出しし汝の民汝の產業を滅したまふ勿れ

I prayed to Yahweh and said, 'O Lord Yahweh, do not destroy your people or your inheritance whom you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 汝の僕アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブを念たまへ此民の剛愎と惡と罪とを鑑みたまふ勿れ

Call to mind your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

28 恐くは汝が我らを導き出したまひし國の人言んヱホバその約せし地にかれらを導きいること能はざるに因りまた彼らを惡むに因て彼らを導き出して曠野に殺せりと

so that the land from where you brought us should say, “Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.”

29 抑かれらは汝の民汝の產業にして汝が強き能力をもて腕を伸て導き出したまひし者なり

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out by your great strength and by the display of your power.'
