ヨシュア記 10
1 茲にエルサレムの王アドニゼデクはヨシユアがアイを攻取てこれを全く滅ぼし嚮にヱリコとその王とに爲しごとくにアイとその王とにも爲たる事およびギベオンの民がイスラエルと好を爲て之が中にをる事を聞て
When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
2 大に懼る是ギベオンは大なる邑にして都府に等しきに因りまたアイよりも大きくしてその内の人々凡て強きに因てなり
he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
3 エルサレムの王アドニゼデク是においてヘブロンの王ホハム、ヤルムテの王ピラム、ラキシの王ヤピアおよびエグロンの王デビルに人を遣はして云ふ
Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:
4 我の處に上りきたりて我を助けよ我らギベオンを攻撃ん其はヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫と好を結びたればなりと
“Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
5 而してこのアモリ人の王五人すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王あひ集まりそり諸軍勢を率て上りきたりギベオンに對ひて陣を取り之を攻て戰ふ
And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
6 ギベオンの人々ギルガルの陣營に人を遣はしヨシユアに言しめけるは僕等を助くることを緩うする勿れ迅速に我らの所に上り來りて我らを救ひ助けよ山地に住をるアモリ人の王みな相集りて我らを攻るなりと
But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”
7 ヨシユアすなはち一切の軍人および一切の大勇士を率ゐてギルガルより進みのぼれり
And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
8 時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは彼らを懼るるなかれ我かれらを汝の手に付す彼らの中には汝に當ることを得る者一人もあらじと
And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
9 この故にヨシユア、ギルガルより終夜進みのぼりて猝然にかれらに攻よせしに
And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
10 ヱホバかれらをイスラエルの前に敗りたまひければヨシユア、ギベオンにおいて彼らを夥多く撃殺しベテホロンの昇阪の路よりしてアゼカおよびマツケダまで彼らを追撃り
And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
11 彼らイスラエルの前より逃はしりてベテホロンの降阪にありける時ヱホバ天より大石を降しそのアゼカに到るまで然したまひければ多く死りイスラエルの子孫が劍をもて殺しし者よりも雹石にて死し者の方衆かりき
And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
12 ヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫の前にアモリ人を付したまひし日にヨシユア、ヱホバにむかひて申せしことあり即ちイスラエルの目の前にて言けらく日よギベオンの上に止まれ月よアヤロンの谷にやすらへ
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”
13 民その敵を撃やぶるまで日は止まり月はやすらひぬ是はヤシヤルの書に記さるるにあらずや即ち日空の中にやすらひて急ぎ沒ざりしこと凡そ一日なりき
And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
14 是より先にも後にもヱホバ是のごとく人の言を聽いれたまひし日は有ず是時にはヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまへり
Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.
15 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人とともにギルガルの陣營に歸りぬ
And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
16 かの五人の王は逃ゆきてマツケダの洞穴に隱れたりしが
For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
17 五人の王はマツケダの洞穴に隱れをるとヨシユアに告て言ふ者ありければ
And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
18 ヨシユアいひけるは汝ら洞穴の口に大石を轉ばしその傍に人を置てこれを守らせよ
And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
19 但し汝らは止る勿れ汝らの敵の後を追てその殿軍を撃て彼らをその邑々に入しむる勿れ汝らの神ヱホバかれらを汝らの手に付したまへるぞかしと
But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
20 ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫おびただしく彼らを撃殺して遂に殺し盡しその撃もらされて遺れる者等城々に逃いるにおよびて
Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
21 民みな安然にマツケダの陣營にかへりてヨシユアの許にいたりけるがイスラエルの子孫にむかひて舌を鳴すもの一人もなかりき
And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
22 時にヨシユア言ふ洞穴の口を開きて洞穴よりかの五人の王を我前に曳いだせと
And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
23 やがて然なしてかの五人の王すなはちエルサレムの王ヘブロンの王ヤルムテの王ラキシの王およびエグロンの王を洞穴より彼の前に曳いだせり
And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 かの王等をヨシユアの前に曳いだしし時ヨシユア、イスラエルの一切の人々を呼よせ己とともに往し軍人の長等に言けるは汝ら近よりて此王等の頸に足をかけよと乃はち近よりてその王等の頸に足をかけければ
And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
25 ヨシユアこれに言ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ慄く勿れ心を強くしかつ勇めよ汝らが攻て戰ふ諸の敵にはヱホバすべて斯のごとく爲たまふべしと
he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”
26 かくて後ヨシユア彼らを撃て死しめ五個の木にかけて晩暮まで木の上にこれを曝しおきしが
And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
27 日の沒る時におよびてヨシユア命を下しければ之を木より取おろしその隱れたりし洞穴に投いれて洞穴の口に大石を置り是は今日が日までも存す
And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
28 ヨシユアかの日マツケダを取り刃をもて之とその王とを撃ち之とその中たる一切の人をことごとく滅して一人をも遺さずヱリコの王になしたるごとくにマツケダの王にも爲しぬ
Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてマツケダよりリブナに進みてリブナを攻て戰ひけるに
Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
30 ヱホバまた之とその王をもイスラエルの手に付したまひしかば刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人を撃ほろぼし一人をもその中に遺さずヱリコの王に爲たるごとくにその王にも爲ぬ
And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてリブナよりラキシに進み之にむかひて陣をとり之を攻めて戰ひけるに
From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
32 ヱホバでラキシをイスラエルの手に付したまひけれぼ第二日にこれを取り刃をもて之とその中なる一切の人々を撃ちほろぼせり凡てリブナに爲たるがごとし
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
33 時にゲゼルの王ホラム、ラキシを援けんとて上りきたりければヨシユアかれとその民とを撃ころして終に一人をも遺さざりき
At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
34 斯てヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてラキシよりエグロンに進み之に對ひて陣を取りこれを攻て戰ひ
And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
35 その日にこれを取り刃をもて之を撃その中なる一切の人をことごとくその日に滅ぼせり凡てラキシに爲たるが如し
And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.
36 ヨシユアまた一切のイスラエル人をひきゐてエグロンよりヘブロンに進みのぼり之を攻て戰ひ
He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
37 やがてこれを取り之とその王およびその一切の邑々とその中なる一切の人を刃にかけて撃ころして一人をも遺さざりき凡てエグロンに爲たるが如し即ち之とその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼせり
He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.
38 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐ歸りてデビルに至り之を攻て戰ひ
Returning from there to Debir,
39 之とその王およびその一切の邑を取り刃をもて之を撃てその中なる一切の人をことごとく滅ぼし一人をも遺さざりき其デビルと其王に爲たる所はヘブロンに爲たるが如く又リブナとその王に爲たるがごとくなりき
he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
40 ヨシユアかく此全地すなはち山地南の地平地および山腹の地ならびに其すべての王等を撃ほろぼして人一箇をも遺さず凡て氣息する者は盡くこれを滅ぼせりイスラエルの神ヱホバの命じたまひしごとし
And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
41 ヨシユア、カデシバルネアよりガザまでの國々およびゴセンの全地を撃ほろぼしてギベオンにまで及ぼせり
from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
42 イスラエルの神ヱホバ、イスラエルのために戰ひたまひしに因てヨシユアこれらの諸王およびその地を一時に取り
And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
43 かくてヨシユア一切のイスラエル人を率ゐてギルガルの陣營にかへりぬ
And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
