申命記 30

1 我が汝らの前に陳たるこの諸の祝福と呪詛の事すでに汝に臨み汝その神ヱホバに逐やられたる諸の國々において此事を心に考ふるにいたり

“Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,

2 汝と汝の子等ともに汝の神ヱホバに起かへり我が今日なんぢに命ずる所に全たく循がひて心をつくし精神をつくしてヱホバの言に聽したがはば

and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

3 汝の神ヱホバ汝の俘擄を解て汝を憐れみ汝の神ヱホバ汝を顧みその汝を散しし國々より汝を集めたまはん

then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

4 汝たとひ天涯に逐やらるるとも汝の神ヱホバ其處より汝を集め其處より汝を携へかへりたまはん

Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

5 汝の神ヱホバ汝をしてその先祖の有ちし地に歸らしめたまふて汝またこれを有つにいたらんヱホバまた汝を善し汝を増て汝の先祖よりも衆からしめたまはん

And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.

6 而して汝の神ヱホバ汝の心と汝の子等の心に割禮を施こし汝をして心を盡し精神をつくして汝の神ヱホバを愛せしめ斯して汝に生命を得させたまふべし

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

7 汝の神ヱホバまた汝の敵と汝を惡み攻る者とにこの諸の災禍をかうむらせたまはん

And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.

8 然ど汝は再びヱホバの言に聽したがひ我が今日なんぢに命ずるその一切の誡命を行ふにいたらん

But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.

9 然る時は汝の神ヱホバ汝をして汝が手をかくる諸の物と汝の胎の產と汝の家畜の產と汝の地の產に富しめて汝を善したまはん即ちヱホバ汝の先祖たちを悦こびしごとく再び汝を悦こびて汝を善したまはん

And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:

10 是は汝その神ヱホバの言に聽したがひ此律法の書にしるされたる誡命と法度を守り心をつくし精神を盡して汝の神ヱホバに歸するによりてなり

but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 我が今日なんぢに命ずる誡命は汝が理會がたき者にあらずまた汝に遠き者にあらず

This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.

12 是は天に在ならねば汝は誰か我らのために天にのぼりてこれを我らに持くだり我らにこれを聞せて行はせんかと曰ふにおよばず

Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

13 また是は海の外にあるならねば汝は誰か我らのために海をわたりゆきてこれを我らに持きたり我らにこれを聞せて行はせんかと曰におよばず

Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’

14 是言は甚だ汝に近くして汝の口にあり汝の心にあれば汝これを行ふことを得べし

Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

15 視よ我今日生命と福徳および死と災禍を汝の前に置り

Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,

16 即ち我今日汝にむかひて汝の神ヱホバを愛しその道に歩みその誡命と法度と律法とを守ることを命ずるなり然なさば汝生ながらへてその數衆くならんまた汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲るところの地にて汝を祝福たまふべし

so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

17 然ど汝もし心をひるがへして聽從がはず誘はれて他の神々を拝みまたこれに事へなば

But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,

18 我今日汝らに告ぐ汝らは必ず滅びん汝らはヨルダンを渡りゆきて獲るところの地にて汝らの日を永うすることを得ざらん

then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.

19 我今日天と地を呼て證となす我は生命と死および祝福と呪詛を汝らの前に置り汝生命をえらぶべし然せば汝と汝の子孫生存らふることを得ん

I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

20 即ち汝の神ヱホバを愛してその言を聽き且これに附從がふべし斯する時は汝生命を得かつその日を永うすることを得ヱホバが汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに與へんと誓ひたまひし地に住ことを得ん

and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
