士師記 10
1 アビメレクの後イッサカルの人にてドドの子なるプワの子トラ起りてイスラエルを救ふ彼エフライムの山のシヤミルに住み
After Abimelech, a leader rose up in Israel, Tola, the son of Puah, the paternal uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who lived in Shamir on mount Ephraim.
2 二十三年の間イスラエルを審判しがつひに死てシヤミルに葬らる
And he judged Israel for twenty-three years, and he died and was buried at Shamir.
3 彼の後にギレアデ人ヤイル起りて二十二年の間イスラエルを審判たり
After him succeeded Jair, a Gileadite, who judged Israel for twenty-two years,
4 彼に子三十人ありて三十の驢馬に乗る彼等三十の邑を有りギレアデの地において今日までヤイルの村ととなふるものすなはち是なり
having thirty sons sitting upon thirty young donkeys, and who were leaders of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havvoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, even to the present day, in the land of Gilead.
5 ヤイル死てカモンに葬らる
And Jair died, and he was buried in the place which is called Kamon.
6 イスラエルの子孫ふたたびヱホバの目のまへに惡を爲しバアルとアシタロテ及びスリヤの神シドンの神モアブの神アンモンの子孫の神ペリシテ人の神に事へヱホバを棄て之に事へざりき
But the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, joining new sins to old, and they served idols, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria and Sidon, and of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines. And they abandoned the Lord, and they did not worship him.
7 ヱホバ烈しくイスラエルを怒りて之をペリシテ人及びアンモンの子孫の手に賣付したまへり
And the Lord, becoming angry against them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and the sons of Ammon.
8 其年に彼らイスラエルの子孫を虐げ難せりヨルダンの彼方においてギレアデにあるところのアモリ人の地に居るイスラエルの子孫十八年の間斯せられたりき
And they were afflicted and vehemently oppressed for eighteen years, all who were living beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead,
9 アンモンの子孫またユダとベニヤミンとエフライムの族とを攻んとてヨルダンを渡りしかばイスラエル太く苦めり
to such a great extent that the sons of Ammon, crossing over the Jordan, laid waste to Judah and Benjamin and Ephraim. And Israel was exceedingly afflicted.
10 ここにおいてイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼りていひけるは我らおのれの神を棄てバアルに事へて汝に罪を犯したりと
And crying out to the Lord, they said: “We have sinned against you. For we have forsaken the Lord our God, and we have served the Baals.”
11 ヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫にいひたまひけるは我かつてエジプト人アモリ人アンモンの子孫ペリシテ人より汝らを救ひ出せしにあらずや
And the Lord said to them: “Did not the Egyptians, and the Amorites, and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines,
12 又シドン人アマレク人及びマオン人の汝らを困しめしとき汝ら我に呼りしかば我汝らを彼らの手より救ひ出せり
and also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Canaan, oppress you, and so you cried out to me, and I rescued you from their hand?
13 然るに汝ら我を棄て他の神に事ふれば我かさねて汝らを救はざるべし
And yet you have forsaken me, and you have worshipped foreign gods. For this reason, I will not continue to free you any more.
14 汝らが擇める神々に往て呼れ汝らの艱難のときに之をして汝らを救はしめよ
Go, and call upon the gods whom you have chosen. Let them free you in the time of anguish.”
15 イスラエルの子孫ヱホバに言けるは我ら罪を犯せりすべて汝の目に善と見るところを我らになしたまへねがはくは唯今日我らを救ひたまへと
And the sons of Israel said to the Lord: “We have sinned. You may repay us in whatever way pleases you. Yet free us now.”
16 而して民おのれの中より異なる神々を取除きてヱホバに事へたりヱホバの心イスラエルの艱難を見るに忍びずなりぬ
And saying these things, they cast out all the idols of the foreign gods from their regions, and they served the Lord God. And he was touched by their miseries.
17 茲にアンモンの子孫集てギレアデに陣を取りしがイスラエルの子孫は聚りてミヅパに陣を取り
And then the sons of Ammon, shouting out together, pitched their tents in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together against them, and they made camp at Mizpah.
18 時に民ギレアデの群伯たがひにいひけるは誰かアンモンの子孫に打ちむかひて戰を始むべき人ぞ其人をギレアデのすべての民の首となすべしと
And the leaders of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever among us will be the first to begin to contend against the sons of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Gilead.”
