Joshua 1

1 And it cometh to pass after the death of Moses, servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,

ヱホバの僕モーセの死し後ヱホバ、モーセの從者ヌンの子ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく

2 'Moses my servant is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

わが僕モーセは已に死り然ば汝いま此すべての民とともに起てこのヨルダンを濟り我がイスラエルの子孫に與ふる地にゆけ

3 'Every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth, to you I have given it, as I have spoken unto Moses.

凡そ汝らが足の蹠にて踏む所は我これを盡く汝らに與ふ我が前にモーセに語し如し

4 From this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river, the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea — the going in of the sun — is your border.

汝らの疆界は荒野および此レバノンより大河ユフラテ河に至りてヘテ人の全地を包ね日の沒る方の大海に及ぶべし

5 'No man doth station himself before thee all days of thy life; as I have been with Moses, I am with thee, I do not fail thee, nor forsake thee;

汝が生ながらふる日の間なんぢに當る事を得る人なかるべし我モーセと偕に在しごとく汝と偕にあらん我なんぢを離れず汝を棄じ

6 be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

心を強くしかつ勇め汝はこの民をして我が之に與ふることをその先祖等に誓ひたりし地を獲しむべき者なり

7 'Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every [place] whither thou goest;

惟心を強くし勇み勵んで我僕モーセが汝に命ぜし律法をことごとく守りて行へ之を離れて右にも左にも曲るなかれ然ば汝いづくに往ても利を得べし

8 the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.

この律法の書を汝の口より離すべからず夜も晝もこれを念ひて其中に録したる所をことごとく守りて行へ然ば汝の途福利を得汝かならず勝利を得べし

9 'Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in every [place] whither thou goest.'

我なんぢに命ぜしにあらずや心を強くしかつ勇め汝の凡て往く處にて汝の神ヱホバ偕に在せば懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ

10 And Joshua commandeth the authorities of the people, saying,

茲にヨシユア民の有司等に命じて言ふ

11 'Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess it.'

陣營の中を行めぐり民に命じて言へ汝等糧食を備へよ三日の内に汝らは此ヨルダンを濟り汝らの神ヱホバが汝らに與へて獲させんとしたまふ地を獲んために進みゆくべければなりと

12 And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying,

ヨシユアまたルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半に告て言ふ

13 'Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you, and He hath given to you this land;

ヱホバの僕モーセ前に汝らに命じて言り汝らの神ヱホバ今なんぢらに安息を賜へり亦この地を汝らに與へたまふべしと汝らこの言詞を記念よ

14 your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye — ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty ones of valour, and have helped them,

汝らの妻子および家畜はモーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの此旁の地に止まるべし然ど汝ら勇者は皆身をよろひて兄弟等の先にたち進濟りて之を助けよ

15 till that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.'

而してヱホバが汝らに賜ひし如くなんぢらの兄弟等にも安息を賜ふにおよばば又かれらもなんぢらの神ヱホバの與へたまふ地を獲るにおよばば汝らヱホバの僕モーセより與へられしヨルダンの此旁日の出る方なる己が所有の地に還りてこれを保つべしと

16 And they answer Joshua, saying, 'All that thou hast commanded us we do; and unto every [place] whither thou dost send us, we go;

彼らヨシユアに應て言ふ汝が我等に命ぜし所は我等盡く爲べし凡て汝が我らを遣す處には我ら往べし

17 according to all that we hearkened unto Moses [in], so we hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He hath been with Moses.

我らは一切の事モーセに聽したがひし如く亦なんぢに聽したがはん唯ねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ、モーセと偕にいまししごとく汝と偕に在さんことを

18 Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.'

誰にもあれ汝が命令に背き凡て汝が命ずるところの言に聽したがはざる者あらば之を殺すべし唯なんぢ心を強くしかつ勇め
