Numbers 32
1 Now the sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
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
2 they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
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
3 “Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
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
4 the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
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
5 And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
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
6 And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, while you sit here?
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
7 Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?
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
8 Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?
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
9 And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
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
10 And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:
その時ヱホバ怒を發し誓ひて言たまひけらく
11 ‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
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
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
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
13 And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
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
14 And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
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
15 But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
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
16 But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified cities, for our little ones.
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
17 But we ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
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
18 We will not return to our houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their inheritance.
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
19 Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
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
20 And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
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
21 And let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
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
22 and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire before the Lord.
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
23 But if you do not do what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
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
24 Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill what you have promised.”
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
25 And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
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
26 We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, in the cities of Gilead.
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
27 And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
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
28 Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
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
29 “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them Gilead as a possession.
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
30 But if they are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
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
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we do.
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
32 We will go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across the Jordan.”
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
33 And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and their land with its surrounding cities.
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
34 Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
ガドの子孫はデボン、アタロテ、アロエル
35 and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
アテロテ、シヨバン、ヤゼル、ヨグベハ
36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
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
37 Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
またルベンの子孫はヘシボン、エレアレ、キリヤタイム
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
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
39 Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
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
40 Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
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
41 But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of Jair.
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
42 Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
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
