民数記 32

1 ルベンの子孫とガドの子孫は甚だ多くの家畜の群を有り彼等ヤゼルの地とギレアデの地を觀るにその處は家畜に適き所なりければ

Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,

2 ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫來りてモーセと祭司エレアザルと會衆の牧伯等に言けるは

the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying:

3 アタロテ、デボン、ヤゼル、ニムラ、ヘシボン、エレアレ、シバム、ネボ、ベオン

'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 即ちヱホバがイスラエルの會衆の前に撃ほろぼしたまひし國は家畜に適き所なるが我らは家畜あり

the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'

5 また曰ふ然ば我らもし汝の目の前に恩を獲たらば請ふこの地を僕等に與へて產業となさしめ我らをしてヨルダンを濟ること無らしめよと斯いへり

And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'

6 モーセ、ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫に言けるは汝らの兄弟たちは戰ひに往に汝らは此に坐しをらんとするや

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

7 汝ら何ぞイスラエルの子孫の心を挫きてヱホバのこれに賜ひし地に濟ることを得ざらしめんとするや

And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

8 汝らの先祖等も我がカデシバルネアより其地を觀に遣せし時に然なせり

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 即ち彼らエシコルの谷に至りて其地を觀し時イスラエルの子孫の心を挫きて之をしてヱホバの賜ひし地に往ことを得ざらしめたり

For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10 その時ヱホバ怒を發し誓ひて言たまひけらく

And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:

11 エジプトより出きたれる人々の二十歳以上なる者は一人も我がアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひたる地を見ざるべし其はかれら我に全くは從はざればなり

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me;

12 第ケナズ人ヱフンネの子カルブとヌンの子ヨシユアとを除く此二人はヱホバに全く從ひたればなり

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.

13 ヱホバかくイスラエルにむかひて怒を發し之をして四十年のあひだ曠野にさまよはしめたまひければヱホバの前に惡をなししその代の人みな終に亡ぶるに至れり

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

14 抑汝らはその父に代りて起れる者即ち罪人の種にしてヱホバのイスラエルにむかひて懐たまふ烈しき怒を更に増んとするなり

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

15 汝ら若反きてヱホバに從はずばヱホバまたこの民を曠野に遺おきたまはん然せば汝等すなはちこの民を滅ぼすにいたるべし

For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'

16 彼らモーセの側に進みよりて言けるは我らは此に我らの群のために羊の圈を建我らの少者のために邑を建んとす

And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;

17 然ど我らはイスラエルの子孫をその處に導きゆくまでは身をよろひて之が前に奮ひ進まん第われらの少者はこの國に住る者等のために堅固なる邑に居ざるを得ず

but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 我らはイスラエルの子孫が皆おのおのその產業を獲までは我らの家に歸らじ

We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 我らはヨルダンの彼旁において彼らと偕に產業を獲ことを爲じ我らはヨルダンの此旁すなはち東の方に產業を獲ればなり

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'

20 モーセかれらに言けるは汝らもしこの事を爲し汝らみな身をよろひてヱホバの前に往て戰ひ

And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

21 汝ら皆身をよろひヱホバの前にゆきてヨルダンを濟りヱホバのその敵を己の前より逐はらひたまひて

and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,

22 この國のヱホバに服ふにおよびて後汝ら歸ばヱホバの前にもイスラエルの前にも汝ら罪なかるべし然せばこの地はヱホバの前において汝らの產業とならん

and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.

23 然ど汝らもし然せずば是ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯すなれば必ずその罪汝らの身におよぶと知べし

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.

24 汝らその少者のために邑を建てその羊のために圈を建よ而して汝らの口より出せるところを爲せ

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'

25 ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫モーセにこたへて言けるはわが主の命じたまふごとく僕等行ふべし

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26 我らの少者と妻と羊と諸の家畜は此にギレアデの邑々に居べし

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

27 然ど僕等はおのおの戰爭のために身をよろひてわが主の言たまふ如くヱホバの前に渉りゆきて戰ふべし

but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'

28 是においてモーセかれらの爲に祭司エレアザルとヌンの子ヨシユアとイスラエルの支派の族長等に命ずる事ありき

So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

29 すなはちモーセかれらに言けるはガドの子孫とルベンの子孫もし汝らとともにヨルダンを濟りゆき各箇身をよろひてヱホバの前に戰ひてこの地汝らに服ふにいたらば汝らギレアデの地をかれらに與へて產業となさしむべし

And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

30 然ど彼らもし汝らとともに身をよろひて濟りゆかずば彼らはカナンの地に於て汝らの中に產業を獲ざる可らず

but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'

31 ガドの子孫とルベンの子孫こたへて言ふヱホバが僕等に言たまふごとく我ら爲べし

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

32 我らは身をよろひてヱホバの前にカナンの地に濟りゆきヨルダンの此旁なる我らの產業を保つことを爲べし

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.'

33 是においてモーセはアモリ人の王シホンの國とバシヤンの王オグの國をもてガドの子孫とルベンの子孫とヨセフの子マナセの支派の半とに與へたり即ちその國およびその境の内の邑々とその邑々の周圍の地とを之に與ふ

And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about.

34 ガドの子孫はデボン、アタロテ、アロエル

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;

35 アテロテ、シヨバン、ヤゼル、ヨグベハ

and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;

36 ベテニムラ、ベテハランなどの堅固なる邑を建て羊のために圈を建たり

and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

37 またルベンの子孫はヘシボン、エレアレ、キリヤタイム

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;

38 ネボ、バアルメオン等の邑を建てその名を更めまたシブマの邑を建たりその建たる邑々には新しき名をつけたり

and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.

39 またマナセの子マキルの子孫はギレアデに至りてこれを取り其處にをりしアモリ人を逐はらひければ

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.

40 モーセ、ギレアデをマナセの子マキルに與へて其處に住しむ

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

41 またマナセの子ヤイルは往てその村々を取りこれをハヲテヤイル(ヤイル村)と名けたり

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.

42 またノバは往てケナテとその村々を取り自己の名にしたがひて之をノバと名けたり

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
