Judges 21
1 Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe.
イスラエルの人々曾てミヅパにて誓ひ曰ひけるは我等の中一人もその女をベニヤミンの妻にあたふる者あるべからずと
2 And the people came vnto ye house of God and abode there till euen before God, and lift vp their voyces, and wept with great lamentation,
茲に民ベテルに至り彼處にて夕暮まで神の前に坐り聲を放ちて痛く哭き
3 And sayde, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to passe in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want?
言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバよなんぞイスラエルに斯ること起り今日イスラエルに一の支派の缺るにいたりしやと
4 And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings.
而して翌日民蚤に起て其處に壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭をささげたり
5 Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not vp with the Congregation vnto the Lord? for they had made a great othe concerning him that came not vp to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death.
茲にイスラエルの子孫いひけるはイスラエルの支派の中に誰か會衆とともに上りてヱホバにいたらざる者あらんと其は彼らミヅパに來りてヱホバにいたらざる者の事につきて大なる誓をたてて其人をばかならず死しむべしと言たればなり
6 And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
イスラエルの子孫すなはち其兄弟ベニヤミンの事を憫然におもひて言ふ今日イスラエルに一の支派絶ゆ
7 How shall we do for wiues to them that remaine, seeing we haue sworne by the Lord, that we will not giue them of our daughters to wiues?
我等ヱホバをさして我らの女をかれらの妻にあたへじと誓ひたれば彼の遺る者等に妻をめとらしめんには如何にすべきや
8 Also they saide, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not vp to Mizpeh to the Lord? and beholde, there came none of Iabesh Gilead vnto the hoste and to the Congregation.
又言ふイスラエルの支派の中孰の者かミヅパにのぼりてヱホバにいたらざると而して視るにヤベシギレアデよりは一人も陣營にきたり集會に臨める者なし
9 For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there.
即ち民をかぞふるにヤベシギレアデの居民は一人も其處にをらざりき
10 Therefore the Congregation sent thither twelue thousande men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Goe, and smite the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children.
是に於て會衆勇士一萬二千を彼處に遣し之に命じて言ふ往て刃をもてヤベシギレアデの居民を撃て婦女兒女をも餘すなかれ
11 And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall vtterly destroye all the males and all the women that haue lien by men.
汝ら斯おこなふべし即ち汝等男人および男と寢たる婦人をば悉く滅し盡すべしと
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead foure hundreth maides, virgins that had knowne no man by lying with any male: and they brought them vnto the hoste to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
彼等ヤベシギレアデの居民の中にて四百人の若き處女を獲たり是は未だ男と寢て男しりしことあらざる者なり彼らすなはち之をシロの陣營に曳きたる是はカナンの地にあり
13 Then the whole Congregation sent and spake with the children of Beniamin that were in the rocke of Rimmon, and called peaceably vnto them:
斯て全會衆人をやりてリンモンの磐にをるベニヤミン人と語はしめ和睦をこれに宣べしめたれば
14 And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: but they had not so ynough for them.
ベニヤミンすなはち其時に歸りきたれり是において彼らヤベシギレアデの婦人の中より生しおきたるところの女子を之にあたへけるが尚足ざりき
15 And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
ヱホバ、イスラエルの支派の中に缺を生ぜしめ給ひしに因て民ベニヤミンの事を憫然におもへり
16 Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed.
會衆の長老等いひけるはベニヤミンの婦女絶たれば彼の遺れる者等に妻をめとらせんには如何すべきや
17 And they saide, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
又言けるはベニヤミンの中の逃れたる者等に産業あらしめん然らばイスラエルに一の支派の消ることなかるべし
18 Howbeit we may not giue them wiues of our daughters: for the childre of Israel had sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wise to Beniamin.
然ながら我等は我等の女子を彼らの妻にあたふべからず其はイスラエルの子孫誓をなしベニヤミンに妻を與ふる者は詛はれんと言たればなりと
19 Therefore they said, Beholde, there is a feast of the Lord euery yere in Shiloh in a place, which is on the Northside of Beth-el, and on the Eastside of the way that goeth vp from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the South of Lebonah.
而して言ふ歳々シロにヱホバの祭ありと其處はベテルの北にあたりてベテルよりシケムにのぼるところの大路の東レバナの南にあり
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes.
是に於てかれらベニヤミンの子孫に命じて言ふ汝らゆきて葡萄園に伏して窺ひ
21 And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catche you euery man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and goe into the land of Beniamin.
若シロの女等舞をどらんと出きたらば葡萄園より出でシロの女の中より各人妻を執てベニヤミンの地に往け
22 And when their fathers or their brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wil say vnto them, Haue pitie on them for our sakes, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in the warre, and because ye haue not giuen vnto them hitherto, ye haue sinned.
若その父あるひは兄弟來りて我らに愬へなば我らこれに言ふべし請ふ幸に彼らを我らに取せよ我等戰爭の時に皆ことごとくその妻をとりしにあらざればなり汝等今かれらに與へしにあらざれば汝等は罪なしと
23 And the children of Beniamin did so, and tooke wiues of them that danced according to their nomber: which they tooke, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
ベニヤミンの子孫すなはちかく行なひその踊れる者等を執へてその中より己の數にしたがひて妻を取り往てその地にかへり邑々を建なほして其處に住り
24 So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, euery man to his tribe, and to his familie, and went out from thence euery man to his inheritance.
斯てイスラエルの子孫その時に其處を去て各人その支派に往きその族にいたれり即ち其處より出て各人その地にいたりぬ
25 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.
當時はイスラエルに王なかりしかば各人その目に善と見るところを爲り
