< Deuteronomy 26 >

1 It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
汝その神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地にいりこれを獲てそこに住にいたらば
2 that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へたまへる地の諸の土產の初を取て筐にいれ汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて選びたまふ處にこれを携へゆくべし
3 You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
而して汝當時の祭司に詣り之にいふべし我は今日なんぢの神ヱホバに申さん我はヱホバが我らに與へんと我らの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れりと
4 The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
然る時は祭司汝の手よりその筐をとりて汝の神ヱホバの壇のまへに之を置べし
5 You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
汝また汝の神ヱホバの前に陳て言べし我先祖は憫然なる一人のスリア人なりしが僅少の人を將てエジプトに下りゆきて其處に寄寓をりそこにて終に大にして強く人口おほき民となれり
6 The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labour on us.
然るにエジプト人我らに害を加へ我らを惱まし辛き力役を我らに負せたりしに因て
7 Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
我等先祖等の神ヱホバに向ひて呼はりければヱホバわれらの聲を聽き我らの艱難と勞苦と虐遇を顧みたまひ
8 The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;
而してヱホバ強き手を出し腕を伸べ大なる威嚇と徴證と奇跡とをもてエジプトより我らを導きいだし
9 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
この處に我らを携へいりてこの地すなはち乳と蜜との流るる地を我らに賜へり
10 Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
ヱホバよ今我なんぢが我に賜ひし地の產物の初を持きたれりと斯いひて汝その筐を汝の神ヱホバの前にそなへ汝の神ヱホバの前に禮拝をなすべし
11 You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is amongst you.
而して汝は汝の神ヱホバの汝と汝の家に降したまへる諸の善事のためにレビ人および汝の中間なる旅客とともに樂むべし
12 When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.
第三年すなはち十に一を取の年に汝その諸の產物の什一を取りレビ人と客旅と孤子と寡婦とにこれを與へて汝の門の内に食ひ飽しめたる時は
13 You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
汝の神ヱホバの前に言べし我は聖物を家より執いだしまたレビ人と客旅と孤子と寡婦とにこれを與へ全く汝が我に命じたまひし命令のごとくせり我は汝の命令に背かずまたこれを忘れざるなり
14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
我はこの聖物を喪の中に食ひし事なくをた汚穢たる身をもて之を携へ出しし事なくまた死人のためにこれを贈りし事なきなり我はわが神ヱホバの言に聽したがひて凡て汝が我に命じたまへるごとく行へり
15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
願くは汝の聖住所なる天より臨み觀汝の民イスラエルと汝の我らに與へし地とに福祉をくだしたまへ是は我がわれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし乳と蜜との流るる地なり
16 Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
今日汝の神ヱホバこれらの法度と律法とを行ふことを汝に命じたまふ然ば汝心を盡し精心を盡してこれを守りおこなふべし
17 You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.
今日なんぢヱホバを認めて汝の神となし且その道に歩みその法度と誡法と律法とを守りその聲に聽したがはんと言り
18 The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.
今日ヱホバまたその言しごとく汝を認めてその寶の民となし且汝にその諸の誡命を守れと言たまへり
19 He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
ヱホバ汝の名譽と聲聞と榮耀とをしてその造れる諸の國の人にまさらしめたまはん汝はその神ヱホバの聖民となることその言たまひしごとくならん
