ヨシュア記 5

1 ヨルダンの彼旁に居るアモリ人の諸の王および海邊に居るカナン人の諸の王はヱホバ、ヨルダンの水をイスラエルの人々の前に乾涸して我らを濟らせたまひしと聞きイスラエルの人々の事によりて神魂消え心も心ならざりき

As soon as all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were along the coast of the Great Sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan until the people of Israel had crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.

2 その時ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは汝石の小刀を作り重て復イスラエルの人々に割禮を行なへと

At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”

3 ヨシユアすなはち石の小刀を作り陽皮山にてイスラエルの人々に割禮を行へり

Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.

4 ヨシユアが割禮を行ひし所以は是なりエジプトより出きたりし民の中の一切の男すなはち軍人は皆エジプトを出し後途にて荒野に死たりしが

This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the males who had come out of Egypt, including all the men of war, had died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out from Egypt.

5 その出來し民はみな割禮を受たる者なりき然どエジプトを出し後途にて荒野に生れし民には皆割禮を施こさざりき

Though all the males who came out of Egypt were circumcised, still, none of the boys born in the wilderness on the way out of Egypt had been circumcised.

6 そもそもイスラエルの人々は四十年の間荒野を歩みをりて終にそのエジプトより出來し民すなはち軍人等ことごとく亡はてたり是ヱホバの聲に聽したがはざりしに因てなり是をもてヱホバかれらの先祖等に誓ひて我等に與へんと宣まひし地なる乳と蜜との流るる地を之に見せじと誓たまへり

For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the people, that is, all the men of war who had come out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 かれらに継て興らしめたまひしその子輩にはヨシユア割禮を行へりかれらは途にて割禮を施さざりしによりて割禮なきものなりければなり

It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

8 一切の民に割禮を行ふこと畢りぬれば民は陣營に其儘居てその痊るを待り

When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they healed.

9 時にヱホバ、ヨシユアにむかひて我今日エジプトの羞辱を汝らの上より轉ばし去りと宣まへり是をもてその處の名を今日までギルガル(轉)と稱ふ

Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So, the name of that place has been called Gilgal until this present day.

10 イスラエルの人々ギルガルに營を張りその月の十四日の晩ヱリコの平野にて逾越節を行へり

The people of Israel camped at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.

11 而して逾越節の翌日その地の穀物酵いれぬパンおよび烘麥をその日に食ひけるが

On the day after Passover, that same day, they ate some of the produce of the land on the day, unleavened bread and roasted grain.

12 その地の穀物を食ひし翌日よりしてマナの降ることを止みてイスラエルの人々かさねてマナを獲ざりき其年はカナンの地の產物を食へり

The manna stopped on the day after they ate the produce of the land. There was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan that year.

13 ヨシユア、ヱリコの邊にあひける時目を擧て觀しに一箇の人劍を手に抜持て己にむかひて立ゐければヨシユアすなはちその許にゆきて之に言ふ汝は我等を助くるか將われらの敵を助くるか

When Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing in front of him; he had drawn his sword and it was in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 かれいひけるは否われはヱホバの軍旅の將として今來れるなりとヨシユア地に俯伏て拝し我主なにを僕に告んとしたまふやと之に言り

He said, “Neither. For I am the commander of the army of Yahweh. Now I have come.” Then Joshua lay facedown on the ground to worship and said to him, “What does my master say to his servant?”

15 ヱホバの軍旅の將ヨシユアに言けるは汝の履を足より脱され汝が立をる處は聖きなりとヨシユア然なしぬ

The commander of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, because the place you are standing is holy.” That is what Joshua did.
