申命記 16

1 汝アビブの月を守り汝の神ヱホバに對ひて逾越節を行なへ其はアビブの月に於て汝の神ヱホバ夜の間に汝をエジプトより導き出したまひたればなり

“Observe the month of new grain, at the beginning of springtime, so that you may accomplish the Passover to the Lord your God. For in this month, the Lord your God led you away from Egypt in the night.

2 汝すなはちヱホバのその名を置んとて擇びたまふ處にて羊および牛を宰り汝の神ヱホバの前に逾越節をなすべし

And you shall immolate the Passover to the Lord your God, from sheep and from oxen, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

3 酵いれたるパンを之とともに食ふべからず七日の間酵いれぬパン即ち憂患のパンを之とともに食ふべし其は汝エジプトの國より出る時は急ぎて出たればなり斯おこなひて汝その世に生存ふる日の間恒に汝がエジプトの國より出來し日を誌ゆべし

You shall not eat it with leavened bread. For seven days you shall eat, without leaven, the bread of affliction. For you departed from Egypt in fear. So may you remember the day of your departure from Egypt, throughout all the days of your life.

4 その七日の間は汝の四方の境の内にパン酵の見ること有しむべからず又なんぢが初の日の薄暮に宰りたる者の肉を翌朝まで存しおくべからず

No leaven shall be present in all your confines for seven days. And by morning, there shall not remain any of the flesh which was immolated on the first day in the evening.

5 汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ汝の門の内にて逾越の牲畜を宰ることを爲べからず

You cannot immolate the Passover in any of your cities, which the Lord your God will give to you, that you wish,

6 惟汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて選びたまふ處にて汝薄暮の日の入る頃汝がエジプトより出たる時刻に逾越の牲畜を宰るべし

but only in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there. You shall immolate the Passover in the evening, upon the setting of the sun, which is the time when you departed from Egypt.

7 而して汝の神ヱホバの選びたまふ處にて汝これを燔て食ひ朝におよびて汝の天幕に歸り往くべし

And you shall cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose, and, rising up in the morning, you shall go into your tent.

8 汝六日の間酵いれぬパンを食ひ第七日に汝の神ヱホバの前に會を開くべし何の職業をも爲べからず

For six days, you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord your God, you shall do no work.

9 汝また七七日を計ふべし即ち穀物に鎌をいれ初る時よりしてその七七日を計へ始むべきなり

You shall number for yourself seven weeks from that day, the day on which you put the sickle to the grain field.

10 而して汝の神ヱホバの前に七週の節筵を行なひ汝の神ヱホバの汝を祝福たまふ所にしたがひ汝の力に應じてその心に願ふ禮物を献ぐべし

And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, to the Lord your God, with a voluntary oblation from your hand, which you shall offer according to the blessing of the Lord your God.

11 斯して汝と汝の男子女子僕婢および汝の門の内に居るレビ人ならびに汝らの中間にをる賓旅と孤子と寡婦みなともに汝の神ヱホバのその名を置んとて選びたまふ處にて汝の神ヱホバの前に樂むべし

And you shall feast in the sight of the Lord your God: you, your son and your daughter, your man servant and your woman servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the new arrival as well as the orphan and the widow, who abide with you, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

12 汝その昔エジプトに奴隸たりしことを誌え是等の法度を守り行ふべし

And you shall recall that you were a servant in Egypt. And you shall preserve and carry out the things that have been instructed.

13 汝禾場と搾場の物を収蔵たる時七日の間結茅節をおこなふべし

Likewise, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days, when you will have gathered your fruits from the orchard and the winepress.

14 節筵をなす時には汝と汝の男子女子僕婢および汝の門の内なるレビ人賓旅孤子寡婦など皆ともに樂むべし

And you shall feast at the time of your festival: you, your son and daughter, your man servant and woman servant, likewise the Levite and the new arrival, the orphan and the widow, who are within your gates.

15 ヱホバの選びたまふ處にて汝七日の間なんぢの神ヱホバの前に節筵をなすべし汝の神ヱホバ汝の諸の產物と汝が手の諸の工事とについて汝を祝福たまふべければ汝かならず樂むことを爲べし

For seven days you shall celebrate feasts to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord will choose. And the Lord your God will bless you in all your crops, and in every work of your hands. And you shall be joyful.

16 汝の中間の男は皆なんぢの神ヱホバの擇びたまふ處にて一年に三次即ち酵いれぬパンの節と七週の節と結茅の節とに於てヱホバの前に出べし但し空手にてヱホバの前に出べからず

Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight the Lord your God in the place which he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. No one shall appear before the Lord empty.

17 各人汝の神ヱホバに賜はる恩惠にしたがひて其力におよぶ程の物を献ぐべし

But each one shall offer according to what he will have, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he will give to him.

18 汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ一切の邑々に汝の支派に循がひて士師と官人を立べし彼らはまだ義き審判をもて民を審判べし

You shall appoint judges and magistrates at all your gates, which the Lord your God will give to you, throughout each of your tribes, so that they may judge the people with a just judgment,

19 汝裁判を枉べからず人を偏視るべからずまた賄賂を取べからず賄賂は智者の目を暗まし義者の言を枉ればなり

and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.

20 汝ただ公義を而已求むべし然せば汝生存へて汝の神ヱホバの汝に賜ふ地を獲にいたらん

You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

21 汝の神ヱホバのために築くところの壇の傍にアシラの木像を立べからず

You shall not plant a sacred grove, nor shall you plant any tree near the altar of the Lord your God;

22 また汝の神ヱホバの惡みたまふ偶像を己のために造るべからず

you shall neither make nor set up for yourself a statue. These things the Lord your God hates.”
