Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, even any evil thing; for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
凡て疵あり惡き處ある牛羊は汝これを汝の神ヱホバに献ぐべからず斯る者は汝の神ヱホバの忌嫌ひたまふ者なればなり
2 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing His covenant,
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ邑々の中にて汝らの中間に若し或男または女汝の神ヱホバの目の前に惡事を行ひてその契約に悖り
3 and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have commanded not;
往て他の神々に事へてこれを拝み我が命ぜざる日や月や天の衆群などを拝むあらんに
4 and it be told thee, and thou hear it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel;
その事を汝に告る者ありて汝これを聞き細かにこれを査べ見るにその事眞にその言確にしてイスラエルの中に斯る憎むべき事行はれ居たらば
5 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die.
汝その惡き事を行へる男または女を汝の門に曳いだし石をもてその男または女を撃殺すべし
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
殺すべき者は二人の證人または三人の證人の口に依てこれを殺すべし惟一人の證人の口のみをもて之を殺すことは爲べからず
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
斯る者を殺すには證人まづその手を之に加へ然る後に民みなその手を加ふべし汝かく惡事を汝らの中より除くべし
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.
汝の門の内に訟へ爭ふ事おこるに當りその事件もし血を相流す事または權理を相爭ふ事または互に相撃たる事などにして汝に裁判かぬる者ならば汝起あがりて汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處に上り往き
9 And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment.
祭司なるレビ人と當時の士師とに詣りて問べし彼ら裁判の言詞を汝に示さん
10 And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee.
ヱホバの選びたまふ處にて彼らが汝に示す命令の言のごとくに汝行ひ凡て彼らが汝に敎ふるごとくに愼みて爲べし
11 According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
即ち故らが汝に敎ふる律法の命令に循がひ彼らが汝に告る裁判に依て行ふべし彼らが汝に示す言に違ふて右にも左にも偏るべからず
12 And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel.
人もし自ら壇斷にしその汝の神ヱホバの前に立て事ふる祭司またはその士師に聽したがはざる有ばその人を殺しイスラエルの中より惡を除くべし
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
然せば民みな聞て畏れ重て壇斷に事をなさざらん
14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say: 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';
汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地に汝いたり之を獲て其處に住におよべる時汝もし我周圍の一切の國人のごとくに我も王をわが上に立んと言あらば
15 thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.
只なんぢの神ヱホバの選びたまふ人を汝の上にたてて王となすべしまた汝の上に王を立るには汝の兄弟の中の人をもてすべし汝の兄弟ならざる他國の人を汝の上に立べからず
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'
但し王となれる者は馬を多く得んとすべからず又馬を多く得んために民を率てエジプトに還るべからず其はヱホバなんぢらに向ひて汝らはこの後かさねて此路に歸るべからずと宣ひたればなり
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
また妻を多くその身に有て心を迷すべからずまた金銀を己のために多く蓄積べからず
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.
彼その國の位に坐するにいたらば祭司なるレビ人の前にある書よりしてこの律法を一の書に書寫さしめ
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
世に生存ふる日の間つねにこれを己の許に置て誦み斯してその神ヱホバを畏るることを學びこの律法の一切の言と是等の法度を守りて行ふべし
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
然せば彼の心その兄弟の上に高ぶること無くまたその誡命を離れて右にも左にもまがること無してその子女とともにその國においてイスラエルの中にその日を永うすることを得ん
