ヨシュア記 6
1 (イスラエルの人々の故によりてヱリコは堅く閉して出入する者なし)
Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.
2 ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言ひたまひけるは觀よわれヱリコおよびその王と大勇士とを汝の手に付さん
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
3 汝ら軍人みな邑を繞りて邑の周圍を一次まはるべし汝六日が間かく爲よ
Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
4 祭司等七人おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへて櫃に先だつべし而して第七日には汝ら七次邑をめぐり祭司等喇叭を吹ならすべし
Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
5 然して祭司等ヨベルの角を音ながくふきならして喇叭の聲なんぢらに聞ゆる時は民みな大に呼はり喊ぶべし然せばその邑の石垣崩れおちん民みな直に進て攻のぼるべしと
And when the voice of the trumpet sounds longer and with interruptions, and it increases in your ears, then all the people shall cry out together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the foundation, and they shall enter it, each from a place opposite where they are standing.”
6 ヌンの子ヨシユアやがて祭司等を召て之に言ふ汝ら契約の櫃を舁き祭司等七人ヨベルの喇叭七をたづさへてヱホバの櫃に先だつべしと
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and he said to them, “Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and advance before the ark of the Lord.”
7 而して民に言ふ汝ら進みゆきて邑を繞れ甲冑のものどもヱホバの櫃に先だちて進むべしと
He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding the ark of the Lord.”
8 ヨシユアかく民に語りしかば七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバに先だちすきみて喇叭を吹きヱホバの契約の櫃これにしたがふ
And when Joshua had finished his words, and the seven priests sounded the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9 即ち甲冑のものどもは喇叭を吹くところの祭司等にさきだちて行き後軍は櫃の後に行く祭司たちは喇叭を吹きつつすすめり
and all the armed soldiers went ahead, the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets grew louder everywhere.
10 ヨシユア民に命じて言ふ汝ら呼はる勿れ汝らの聲を聞えしむるなかれまた汝らの口より言を出すなかれわが汝らに呼はれと命ずる日におよびて呼はるべしと
But Joshua had instructed the people, saying, “You shall not cry out, nor shall your voice be heard, and no word at all shall proceed from your mouth, until the day arrives on which I will say to you, ‘Cry out, and shout.’”
11 而してヱホバの櫃をもち邑を繞りて一周し陣營に來りて營中に宿れり
Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.
12 又あくる朝ヨシユアはやく興いで祭司等ヱホバの櫃を舁き
And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13 七人の祭司等おのおのヨベルの喇叭をたづさへヱホバの櫃に先だちて行き喇叭を吹きつつすすみ甲冑の者等これに先だちて行き後軍はヱホバの櫃の後に行く祭司等喇叭をふきつつ進めり
and seven of them took the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and they preceded the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and they were blaring the trumpets.
14 その次の日にも一次邑を繞りて陣營に歸り六日が間然なせり
And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so for six days.
15 第七日には夜明に早く興いで前のごとくして七次邑を繞れり唯この日のみ七次邑を繞りたり
Then, on the seventh day, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.
16 七次目にいたりて祭司等喇叭を吹くときにヨシユア民に言ふ汝ら呼はれヱホバこの邑を汝らに賜へり
And at the seventh circling, when the priests sounded the trumpets, Joshua said to all of Israel: “Shout! For the Lord has delivered the city to you.
17 この邑およびその中の一切の物をば詛はれしものとしてヱホバに献ぐべし唯妓婦ラハブおよび凡て彼とともに家に在るものは生し存べしわれらが遣しし使者を匿したればなり
And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 唯汝ら詛はれし物を愼め恐らくは汝ら其を詛はれしものとして献ぐるに方りその詛はれし物を自ら取りてイスラエルの陣營をも詛はるるものとならしめ之をして惱ましむるに至らん
But you must be careful that you do not touch any of those things, as you have been instructed, for then you would be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel would be under sin and would be troubled.
19 但し銀金銅器鐵器などは凡てヱホバに聖別て奉まつるべきものなればヱホバの府庫にこれを携へいるべしと
But whatever gold and silver there will be, and vessels of brass or of iron, let these be consecrated to the Lord and be stored in his treasuries.”
20 是において民よばはり祭司喇叭を吹ならしけるが民喇叭の聲をきくと斉しくみな大聲を擧て呼はりしかば石垣崩れおちぬ斯りしかば民おのおの直に邑に上りいりて邑を攻取り
Therefore, with all the people shouting, and the trumpets blaring, after the voice and the sound increased in the ears of the multitude, the walls promptly fell to ruin. And each one climbed up at the place which was opposite where he was. And they seized the city.
21 邑にある者は男女少きもの老たるものの區別なく盡くこれを刃にかけて滅ぼし且つ牛羊驢馬にまで及ぼせり
And they put to death all who were in it, from man even to woman, from infant even to elder. Likewise, the oxen and sheep and donkeys, they struck down with the edge of the sword.
22 時にヨシユアこの地を窺ひたりし二箇の人にむかひ汝らかの妓婦の家に入りかの婦人およびかれに屬る一切のものを携へいだしかれに誓ひし如くせよと言ければ
But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.”
23 間者たりし少き人等すなはち入てラハブおよびその父母兄弟ならびに彼につけるすべてのものを携へ出しまたその親戚をも携へ出しイスラエルの陣營の外にかれらを置り
And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp.
24 斯て火をもて邑とその中の一切のものを焚ぬ但し銀金銅器鐵器などはヱホバの室の府庫に納めたり
Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
25 妓婦ラハブおよびその父の家の一族と彼に屬る一切の者とはヨシユアこれを生し存ければラハブは今日までイスラエルの中に住をる是はヨシユアがヱリコを窺はせんとて遣はしし使者を匿したるに因てなり
Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive. And they lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day. For she hid the messengers, whom he had sent to explore Jericho. At that time, Joshua made an invocation, saying:
26 ヨシユアその時人衆に誓ひて命じ言けるは凡そ起てこのヱリコの邑を建る者はヱホバの前に詛はるべし其石礎をすゑなば長子を失ひその門を建なば季子を失はんと
“Cursed before the Lord is the man who will raise up and rebuild the city of Jericho! With his firstborn, may he lay its foundation, and with the last of his children, may he set up its gates.”
27 ヱホバ、ヨシユアとともに在してヨシユアの名あまねく此地に聞ゆ
And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.
