Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over.
ヨシユア朝はやく起いでてイスラエルの人々とともにシツテムを打發てヨルダンにゆき之を濟らずして其處に宿りぬ
2 And it comes to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
斯て三日の後有司ら陣營の中をめぐり
3 and command the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and the priests, the Levites, carrying it, then you journey from your place, and have gone after it;
民に命じて曰ふ汝ら祭司等レビ人がなんぢらの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁出すを見ば其處を發出てその後に從がへ
4 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; you do not come near to it, so that you know the way in which you go, for you have not passed over in the way before.”
されど汝らとその櫃との間には量りて凡そ二千キユビト許の隔離あるべし之に近づく勿れなんぢらその行べき途を知んためなり汝らは未だこの途を經しことなかりき
5 And Joshua says to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow YHWH does wonders in your midst.”
ヨシユアまた民に言ふ汝ら身を潔めよヱホバ明日なんぢらの中に妙なる事を行ひたまふべしと
6 And Joshua speaks to the priests, saying, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and pass over before the people”; and they take up the Ark of the Covenant, and go before the people.
ヨシユア祭司等に告ていふ契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて濟れと則ち契約の櫃を舁き民に先だちて進めり
7 And YHWH says to Joshua, “This day I begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with you;
ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは今日よりして我イスラエルの衆の目の前に汝を尊くし我がモーセと偕にありし如く汝と偕にあることを之に知せん
8 and you, command the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, saying, When you come to the extremity of the waters of the Jordan, stand in the Jordan.”
なんぢ契約の櫃を舁ところの祭司等に命じて言へ汝らヨルダンの水際にゆかばヨルダンにいりて立べしと
9 And Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Come near here, and hear the words of your God YHWH”;
ヨシユアでイスラエルの人々にむかひて汝ら此に近づき汝らの神ヱホバの言を聽けと
10 and Joshua says, “By this you know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He certainly dispossesses from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:
而してヨシユア語りけらく活神なんぢらの中に在してカナン人ヘテ人ヒビ人ペリジ人ギルガジ人アモリ人ヱブス人を汝らの前より必ず逐はらひたまふべきを左の事によりてなんぢら知るべし
11 behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into the Jordan;
視よ全地の主の契約の櫃なんぢらに先だちてヨルダンにすすみ入る
12 and now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man—one man for a tribe;
然ば今イスラエルの支派の中より支派ごとに一人づつ合せて十二人を擧よ
13 and it has been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of YHWH, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off—the waters which are coming down from above—and they stand—one heap.”
全地の主ヱホバの櫃を舁ところの祭司等の足の蹠ヨルダンの水の中に踏とどまらばヨルダンの水上より流れくだる水きれとどまり立てうづだかくならん
14 And it comes to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant before the people,
かくて民はヨルダンを濟らんとてその幕屋を立出祭司等は契約の櫃を舁て之に先だちゆく
15 and at those carrying the Ark coming to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the Ark have been dipped in the extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its banks all the days of harvest)—
抑々ヨルダンは収穫の頃には絶ずその岸にことごとく溢るるなれど櫃を舁く者等ヨルダンに到り櫃を舁ける祭司等の足水際に浸ると斉しく
16 that the waters stand; those coming down from above have risen—one heap, very far above Adam, the city which [is] at the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the Sea of the Plain (the Salt Sea), have been completely cut off; and the people have passed through opposite Jericho;
上より流れくだる水止まりて遥に遠き處まで涸れザレタンに近きアダム邑の邊にて積り起て堆かくなりアラバの海すなはち鹽海の方に流れくだる水まつたく截止りたれば民ヱリコにむかひて直に濟れり
17 and the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan—established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground until all the nation has completed to pass over the Jordan.
即ちヱホバの契約の櫃を舁る祭司等ヨルダンの中の乾ける地に堅く立をりてイスラエル人みな乾ける地を渉りゆき遂に民ことごとくヨルダンを濟りつくせり
