Numbers 17

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

ヱホバ、モーセに告て言給はく

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue rods: and thou shalt write euery mans name vpon his rod.

汝イスラエルの子孫に語り之が中よりその各箇の父祖の家にしたがひて杖一本づつを取れ即ちその一切の牧伯等よりその父祖の家に循ひて杖都合十二本を取りその人等の名を各々その杖に書せ

3 And write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for the head of the house of their fathers.

レビの杖には汝アロンの名を書せ其はその父祖の家の長たる者各箇杖一本を出すべければなり

4 And thou shalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, where I wil declare my selfe to you.

而して集會の幕屋の中我が汝等に會ふ處なる律法の櫃の前に汝之を置べし

5 And the mans rod, whome I chuse, shall blossome: and I will make cease from mee the grudgings of the children of Israel, which grudge against you.

我が選める人の杖は芽さん我かくイスラエルの子孫が汝等にむかひて呟くところの怨言をわが前に止むべし

6 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and al their princes gaue him a rod, one rod for euery Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, euen twelue rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their roddes.

モーセかくイスラエルの子孫に語りければその牧伯等おのおの杖一本づつを之に付せり即ち牧伯等おのおのその父祖の家にしたがひて一本づつを出したればその杖あはせて十二本アロンの杖もその杖の中にあり

7 And Moses layde the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

モーセその杖を皆律法の幕屋の中にてヱホバの前に置り

8 And when Moses on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, beholde, the rod of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare ripe almondes.

斯てその翌日モーセ律法の幕屋にいりて視るにレビの家のために出せるアロンの杖芽をふき蕾をなし花咲て巴旦杏の果を結べり

9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke euery man his rodde.

モーセその杖をことごとくヱホバの前よりイスラエルの子孫の所に取いだしければ彼ら見ておのおの自分の杖を取り

10 After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to bee kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they dye not.

時にヱホバまたモーセに言たまはく汝アロンの杖を律法の櫃の前に携へかヘり其處にたくはへ置てこの背反者等のために徴とならしめよ斯して汝かれらの怨言を全く取のぞきかれらをして死ざらしむべし

11 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.

モーセすなはち然なしヱホバの己に命じたまへる如くせり

12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost:

イスラエルの子孫モーセに語りて曰ふ嗚呼我等は死ん我等は滅びん我等はみな滅びん

13 Whosoeuer commeth neere, or approcheth to the Tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: shall we be consumed and dye?

凡そヱホバの幕屋に微にても近く者はみな死るなり我等はみな死斷べき歟
