Joshua 3
1 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come in unto the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over.
ヨシユア朝はやく起いでてイスラエルの人々とともにシツテムを打發てヨルダンにゆき之を濟らずして其處に宿りぬ
2 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
斯て三日の後有司ら陣營の中をめぐり
3 and command the people, saying, 'When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then ye journey from your place, and have gone after it;
民に命じて曰ふ汝ら祭司等レビ人がなんぢらの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁出すを見ば其處を發出てその後に從がへ
4 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; ye do not come near unto it, so that ye know the way in which ye go, for ye have not passed over in the way heretofore.'
されど汝らとその櫃との間には量りて凡そ二千キユビト許の隔離あるべし之に近づく勿れなんぢらその行べき途を知んためなり汝らは未だこの途を經しことなかりき
5 And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Sanctify yourselves, for to-morrow doth Jehovah do in your midst wonders.'
ヨシユアまた民に言ふ汝ら身を潔めよヱホバ明日なんぢらの中に妙なる事を行ひたまふべしと
6 And Joshua speaketh unto the priests, saying, 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people;' and they take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people.
ヨシユア祭司等に告ていふ契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて濟れと則ち契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて進めり
7 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'This day I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with thee;
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは今日よりして我イスラエルの衆の目の前に汝を尊くし我がモーセと偕にありし如く汝と偕にあることを之に知せん
8 and thou, thou dost command the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come unto the extremity of the waters of the Jordan — in the Jordan ye stand.'
なんぢ契約の櫃を舁ところの祭司等に命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの水際にゆかばヨルダンにいりて立べしと
9 And Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Come nigh hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God;
ヨシユアでイスラエルの人々にむかひて汝ら此に近づき汝らの神ヱホバの言を聽けと
10 and Joshua saith, 'By this ye know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He doth certainly dispossess from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:
而してヨシユア語りけらく活神なんぢらの中に在してカナン人ヘテ人ヒビ人ペリジ人ギルガジ人アモリ人ヱブス人を汝らの前より必ず逐はらひたまふべきを左の事によりてなんぢら知るべし
11 lo, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into Jordan;
視よ全地の主の契約の櫃なんぢらに先だちてヨルダンにすすみ入る
12 and now, take for you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man — one man for a tribe;
然ば今イスラエルの支派の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧よ
13 and it hath been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of Jehovah, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off — the waters which are coming down from above — and they stand — one heap.'
全地の主ヱホバの櫃を舁ところの祭司等の足の蹠ヨルダンの水の中に踏とどまらばヨルダンの水上より流れくだる水きれとどまり立てうづだかくならん
14 And it cometh to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
かくて民はヨルダンを濟らんとてその幕屋を立出祭司等は契約の櫃を舁て之に先だちゆく
15 and at those bearing the ark coming in unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark have been dipped in the extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its banks all the days of harvest) —
抑々ヨルダンは収穫の頃には絶ずその岸にことごとく溢るるなれど櫃を舁く者等ヨルダンに到り櫃を舁ける祭司等の足水際に浸ると斉しく
16 that the waters stand; those coming down from above have risen — one heap, very far above Adam the city, which [is] at the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, have been completely cut off; and the people have passed through over-against Jericho;
上より流れくだる水止まりて遥に遠き處まで涸れザレタンに近きアダム邑の邊にて積り起て堆かくなりアラバの海すなはち鹽海の方に流れくだる水まつたく截止りたれば民ヱリコにむかひて直に濟れり
17 and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan — established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground till that all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan.
即ちヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中の乾ける地に堅く立をりてイスラエル人みな乾ける地を渉りゆき遂に民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくせり
