Deuteronomy 9

1 Hear, O Israel: Thou shalt go over the Jordan this day; to possess nations very great, and stronger than thyself, cities great, and walled up to the sky,

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

2 A People great and tall, the sons of the Enacims, whom thou hast seen, and heard of, against whom no man is able to stand.

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

3 Thou shalt know therefore this day that the Lord thy God himself will pass over before thee, a devouring and consuming fire, to destroy and extirpate and bring them to nothing before thy face quickly, as he hath spoken to thee.

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

4 Say not in thy heart, when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed them in thy sight: For my justice hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land, whereas these nations are destroyed for their wickedness.

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

5 For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

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

6 Know therefore that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this excellent land in possession for thy justices, for thou art a very stiffnecked people.

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

7 Remember, and forget not how then provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest out of Egypt unto this place, thou hast always strove against the Lord.

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

8 For in Horeb also thou didst provoke him, and he was angry, and would have destroyed thee,

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

9 When I went up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you: and I continued in the mount forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water.

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

10 And the Lord gave me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and containing all the words that he spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the Are, when the people were assembled together.

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

11 And when forty days were passed, and as many nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant,

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

12 And said to me: Arise, and go down from hence quickly: for thy people, which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have quickly forsaken the way that thou hast shewn them, and have made to themselves a molten idol.

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

13 And again the Lord said to me: I see that this people is stiffnecked:

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

14 Let me alone that I may destroy them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and set thee over a nation, that is greater and stronger than this.

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

15 And when I came down from the burning mount, and held the two tables of the covenant with both hands,

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

16 And saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten calf, and had quickly forsaken his way, which he had shewn you:

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

17 I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight.

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

18 And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and nights neither eating bread, nor drinking water, for all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and had provoked him to wrath:

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

19 For I feared his indignation and anger, wherewith being moved against you, he would have destroyed you. And the Lord heard me this time also.

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

20 And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him.

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

21 And your sin that you had committed, that is, the calf, I took, and burned it with fire, and breaking it into pieces, until it was as small as dust, I threw it into the torrent, which cometh down from the mountain.

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

22 At the burning also, and at the place of temptation, and at the graves of lust you provoked the Lord:

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

23 And when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Go up, and possess the land that I have given you, and you slighted the commandment of the Lord your God, and did not believe him, neither would you hearken to his voice:

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

24 But were always rebellious from the day that I began to know you.

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

25 And I lay prostrate before the Lord forty days and nights, in which I humbly besought him, that he would not destroy you as he had threatened:

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

26 And praying, I said: O Lord God, destroy not thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand.

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

27 Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: look not on the stubbornness of this people, nor on their wickedness and sin:

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

28 Lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say: The Lord could not bring them into the land that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore he brought them out, that he might kill them in the wilderness,

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

29 Who are thy people and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out by thy great strength, and in thy stretched out arm.

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
