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 descendants of Reuben and of Gad had large numbers of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and Gilead, the land was a wonderful place for livestock.

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

So the descendants of Gad and Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the community. They said,

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

“This is a list of places we have surveyed: Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, 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

These are the lands that Yahweh attacked before the community of Israel, and they are good places for livestock. We, your servants, have a lot of livestock.”

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

They said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to us, your servants, as a possession. Do not make us cross 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

Moses replied to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you settle down 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

Why discourage the hearts of the people of Israel from going over into the land that Yahweh has 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

Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to examine 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

They went up to the Valley of Eshkol. They saw the land and then discouraged the hearts of the people of Israel so that they refused to enter the land that Yahweh had given them.

10 その時ヱホバ怒を發し誓ひて言たまひけらく

Yahweh's anger was kindled on that day. He took an oath and said,

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 who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and up, will see the land about which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, except for

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

Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun. Only Caleb and Joshua have completely followed me.'

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

So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel. He made them wander around in the wilderness for forty years until all the generation who had done evil in his sight was destroyed.

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

Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, like just more sinful men, to add to Yahweh's burning anger 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

If you turn away from following him, he will again leave Israel in the wilderness and you will have destroyed 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

So they came near Moses and said, “Allow us to build fences here for our cattle and cities for our families.

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

However, we ourselves will be ready and armed to go with Israel's army until we have led them into their place. But our families will live in the fortified cities because of the other people who still live in this 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 to our houses until every one of the people of Israel has obtained 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

We will not inherit the land with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance is here on the east side of the Jordan.”

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

So Moses replied to them, “If you do what you say, if you arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to 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

then every one of your armed men must cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has 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 is subdued before him. Then afterward you may return. You will be guiltless toward Yahweh and toward Israel. This land will be your possession before Yahweh.

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 you do not do so, look, you will have sinned against Yahweh. Be sure that your sin will find you out.

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 cities for your families and pens for your sheep; then do what you have said.”

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

The descendants of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses and said, “Your servants will do as you, our master, commands.

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 livestock will stay 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

However, we, your servants, will cross over before Yahweh to battle, every man who is armed for war, as you, our master, say.”

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 instructions concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the ancestor's clans in the tribes of the people 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

Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and if the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as 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 do not cross over with you armed, then they will acquire their 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

So the descendants of Gad and Reuben answered and said, “As Yahweh has said to us, your servants, this is what we will 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 cross over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, but our possessed inheritance will remain with us on this side of 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

So to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, and also to the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, Moses gave the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. He gave to them the land, and distributed to them all its cities with their borders, the cities of the land around them.

34 ガドの子孫はデボン、アタロテ、アロエル

The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35 アテロテ、シヨバン、ヤゼル、ヨグベハ

Atroth Shophan, Jazer, 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

Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities with pens 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

The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, 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

Nebo, Baal Meon—their names were later changed, and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities that they rebuilt.

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

The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it away from the Amorites who were in it.

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

Then Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and his people settled there.

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

Jair son of Manasseh went and captured its towns 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

Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.
