< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed a trespasse in the excommunicate thing: for Achan the sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iuda tooke of the excommunicate thing: wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
時にイスラエルの人々その詛はれし物につきて罪を犯せり即ちユダの支派の中なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子アカン詛はれし物を取り是をもてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々にむかひて震怒を發ちたまへり
2 And Ioshua sent men from Iericho to Ai, which is beside Bethauen, on ye East side of Bethel, and spake vnto them, saying, Goe vp, and view the countrey. And ye men went vp, and viewed Ai,
ヨシユア、ヱリコより人を遣はしベテルの東に當りてベテアベンの邊にあるアイに到らしめんとし之に語りて言ふ汝ら上りゆきてかの地を窺へとその人々上りゆきてアイを窺ひけるが
3 And returned to Ioshua, and saide vnto him, Let not al the people go vp, but let as it were two or three thousand men go vp, and smite Ai, and make not al the people to labour thither, for they are fewe.
ヨシユアの許に歸て之に言ふ民を盡くは上り往しめざれ唯二三千人を上らせてアイを撃しめよかれらは寡ければ一切の民を彼處に遣て勞せしむるなかれと
4 So there went vp thither of the people about three thousande men, and they fledde before the men of Ai.
是において民およそ三千人ばかり彼處に上りゆきけるが遂にアイの人の前より遁はしれり
5 And the men of Ai smote of them vpon a thirtie and sixe men: for they chased them from before the gate vnto Shebarim, and smote them in the going downe: wherfore the heartes of the people melted away like water.
アイの人彼らを門の前より追てシバリムにいたり下坂にてその三十六人ばかりを撃り民は魂神消て水のごとくになりぬ
6 Then Ioshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth vpon his face before the Arke of the Lord, vntill the euentide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust vpon their heads.
斯りしかばヨシユア衣を裂きイスラエルの長老等とともにヱホバの櫃の前にて暮まで地に俯伏をり首に塵を蒙れり
7 And Ioshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou brought this people ouer Iorden, to deliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroye vs? would God we had bene content to dwell on the other side Iorden.
ヨシユア言けらく嗟主ヱホバよ何とて此民を導きてヨルダンを濟らせ我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅亡させんとしたまふや我等ヨルダンの彼旁に安んじ居しならば善りしものを
8 Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turne their backes before their enemies?
嗟主よイスラエルすでに敵に背を見せたれば我また何をか言ん
9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall heare of it, and shall compasse vs, and destroy our name out of the earth: and what wilt thou doe vnto thy mightie Name?
カナン人およびこの地の一切の民これを聞きわれらを攻かこみてわれらの名をこの世より絶ん然らば汝の大なる御名を如何にせんや
10 And the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp: wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは立よなんぢ何とて斯は俯伏すや
11 Israel hath sinned, and they haue transgressed my couenant, which I commanded them: for they haue euen taken of the excommunicate thing, and haue also stollen, and dissembled also, and haue put it euen with their owne stuffe.
イスラエルすでに罪を犯しわが彼らに命じおける契約を破れり即ち彼らは詛はれし物を取り窃みかつ詐りてこれを己の所有物の中にいれたり
12 Therefore ye children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, but haue turned their backes before their enemies, because they be execrable: neither will I bee with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you.
是をもてイスラエルの人々は敵に當ること能はず敵に背を見す是は彼らも詛はるる者となりたればなり汝ら其詛はれし物を汝らの中より絶にあらざれば我ふたたび汝らと偕にをらじ
13 Vp therefore, sanctifie the people, and say, Sanctifie your selues against to morowe: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an execrable thing among you, O Israel, therefore ye cannot stand against your enemies, vntill ye haue put the execrable thing from among you.
たてよ民を潔めて言へ汝ら身を潔めて明日を待てイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルよ汝の中に詛はれしものあり汝その詛はれし物を汝らの中より除き去るまでは汝の敵に當ること能はず
14 In the morning therefore ye shall come according to your tribes, and the tribe which the Lord taketh, shall come according to the families: and the familie which the Lord shall take, shall come by the housholds: and the houshold which the Lord shall take, shall come man by man.
然ば翌朝汝らその支派にしたがひて進みいづべし而してヱホバの掣たまふ支派はその宗族にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ宗族はその家にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ家は男ひとりびとりに從がひて進みいづべし
15 And he that is taken with the excommunicate thing, shall be burnt with fire, hee, and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
凡そ掣れて詛はれし物を有りと定まる者は其一切の所有物とともに火に焚るべし是はヱホバの契約を破りイスラエルの中に愚なる事を行ひたるが故なりと
16 So Ioshua rose vp earely in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes: and the tribe of Iudah was taken.
ヨシユア是において朝はやく興いでてイスラエルをその支派にしたがひて進出しめけるにユダの支派掣れたれば
17 And he brought the families of Iudah, and tooke the familie of the Zarhites, and he brought the familie of the Zarhites, man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
ユダのもろもろの宗族を進み出でしめけるにゼラの宗族掣れゼラの宗族の人々を進み出しめけるにザブデ掣れ
18 And he brought his houshold, man by man, and Achan ye sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iudah was take.
ザブデの家の人々を進み出しめけるにアカン掣れぬ彼はユダの支派なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子なり
19 Then Ioshua said vnto Achan, My sonne, I beseech thee, giue glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession vnto him, and shewe me now what thou hast done: hide it not from me.
ヨシユア、アカンに言けるは我子よ請ふイスラエルの神ヱホバに稱讃を歸し之にむかひて懺悔し汝の爲たる事を我に告よ其事を我に隱すなかれ
20 And Achan answered Ioshua, and saide, In deede, I haue sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus haue I done.
アカン、ヨシユアに答へて言けるは實にわれはイスラエルの神ヱホバに對ひて罪ををかし如此々々行へり
21 I sawe among the spoyle a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundreth shekels of siluer, and a wedge of golde of fiftie shekels weight, and I coueted them, and tooke them: and behold, they lye hid in the earth in the mids of my tent, and the siluer vnder it.
即ちわれ掠取物の中にバビロンの美しき衣服一枚に銀二百シケルと重量五十シケルの金の棒あるを見欲く思ひて其を取れりそれはわが天幕の中に地に埋め匿してあり銀も下にありと
22 Then Ioshua sent messengers, which ran vnto the tent, and beholde, it was hid in his tent, and the siluer vnder it.
爰にヨシユア使者を遣はしければ即ち彼の天幕に奔りゆきて視しに其は彼の天幕の中に匿しありて銀も下にありき
23 Therefore they tooke them out of the tent, and brought them vnto Ioshua, and vnto all the children of Israel, and layd them before the Lord.
彼ら其を天幕の中より取出してヨシユアとイスラエルの一切の人々の所に携へきたりければ則ちそれをヱホバの前に置り
24 Then Ioshua tooke Achan the sonne of Zerah, and the siluer, and the garment and the wedge of golde and his sonnes, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheepe, and his tent, and all that hee had: and all Israel with him brought them vnto the valley of Achor.
ヨシユアやがてイスラエルの一切の人とともにゼラの子アカンを執へかの銀と衣服と金の棒およびその男子女子牛驢馬羊天幕など凡て彼の有る物をことごとく取てアコルの谷にこれを曳ゆけり
25 And Ioshua said, In as much as thou hast troubled vs, the Lord shall trouble thee this day: and all Israel threwe stones at him, and burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
而してヨシユア言けらく汝なんぞ我らを惱まししやヱホバ今日汝を惱ましたまふべしと頓てイスラエル人みな石をもて彼を撃ころし又その家族等をも石にて撃ころし火をもて之を焚けり
26 And they cast vpon him a great heape of stones vnto this day: and so the Lord turned from his fierce wrath: therefore hee called the name of that place, The valley of Achor, vnto this day.
而してアカンの上に大なる石堆を積揚たりしが今日まで存るかくてヱホバその烈しき忿怒を息たまへり是によりてその處の名を今日までアコル(惱)の谷と呼ぶ
