ヨシュア記 7
1 時にイスラエルの人々その詛はれし物につきて罪を犯せり即ちユダの支派の中なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子アカン詛はれし物を取り是をもてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々にむかひて震怒を發ちたまへり
And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, takes from the devoted thing, and the anger of YHWH burns against the sons of Israel.
2 ヨシユア、ヱリコより人を遣はしベテルの東に當りてベテアベンの邊にあるアイに到らしめんとし之に語りて言ふ汝ら上りゆきてかの地を窺へとその人々上りゆきてアイを窺ひけるが
And Joshua sends men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaks to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land”; and the men go up and spy Ai,
3 ヨシユアの許に歸て之に言ふ民を盡くは上り往しめざれ唯二三千人を上らせてアイを撃しめよかれらは寡ければ一切の民を彼處に遣て勞せしむるなかれと
and they return to Joshua, and say to him, “Do not let all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they strike Ai; do not cause all the people to labor there; for they [are] few.”
4 是において民およそ三千人ばかり彼處に上りゆきけるが遂にアイの人の前より遁はしれり
So about three thousand men of the people go up from there, and they flee before the men of Ai,
5 アイの人彼らを門の前より追てシバリムにいたり下坂にてその三十六人ばかりを撃り民は魂神消て水のごとくになりぬ
and the men of Ai strike about thirty-six men from them, and pursue them before the gate to Shebarim, and they strike them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becomes water.
6 斯りしかばヨシユア衣を裂きイスラエルの長老等とともにヱホバの櫃の前にて暮まで地に俯伏をり首に塵を蒙れり
And Joshua tears his garments, and falls on his face to the earth before the Ark of YHWH until the evening, he and [the] elderly of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.
7 ヨシユア言けらく嗟主ヱホバよ何とて此民を導きてヨルダンを濟らせ我らをアモリ人の手に付して滅亡させんとしたまふや我等ヨルダンの彼旁に安んじ居しならば善りしものを
And Joshua says, “Aah! Lord YHWH, why have You caused this people to pass over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? And oh that we had been willing—and we dwell beyond the Jordan!
8 嗟主よイスラエルすでに敵に背を見せたれば我また何をか言ん
Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel has turned the neck before its enemies?
9 カナン人およびこの地の一切の民これを聞きわれらを攻かこみてわれらの名をこの世より絶ん然らば汝の大なる御名を如何にせんや
And the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and have come around against us, and cut off our name from the earth; and what do You do for Your great Name?”
10 ヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは立よなんぢ何とて斯は俯伏すや
And YHWH says to Joshua, “Rise, for you—why this—[that] you [are] falling on your face?
11 イスラエルすでに罪を犯しわが彼らに命じおける契約を破れり即ち彼らは詛はれし物を取り窃みかつ詐りてこれを己の所有物の中にいれたり
Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,
12 是をもてイスラエルの人々は敵に當ること能はず敵に背を見す是は彼らも詛はるる者となりたればなり汝ら其詛はれし物を汝らの中より絶にあらざれば我ふたたび汝らと偕にをらじ
and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; they turn the neck before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I do not add to be with you—if you do not destroy the devoted thing from your midst.
13 たてよ民を潔めて言へ汝ら身を潔めて明日を待てイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルよ汝の中に詛はれしものあり汝その詛はれし物を汝らの中より除き去るまでは汝の敵に當ること能はず
Rise, sanctify the people, and you have said, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: A devoted thing [is] in your midst, O Israel, you are not able to stand before your enemies until your turning aside the devoted thing from your midst;
14 然ば翌朝汝らその支派にしたがひて進みいづべし而してヱホバの掣たまふ支派はその宗族にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ宗族はその家にしたがひて進み出でヱホバの掣たまふ家は男ひとりびとりに從がひて進みいづべし
and you have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it has been [that] the tribe which YHWH captures draws near by families, and the family which YHWH captures draws near by households, and the household which YHWH captures draws near by men;
15 凡そ掣れて詛はれし物を有りと定まる者は其一切の所有物とともに火に焚るべし是はヱホバの契約を破りイスラエルの中に愚なる事を行ひたるが故なりと
and it has been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of YHWH, and because he has done folly in Israel.”
16 ヨシユア是において朝はやく興いでてイスラエルをその支派にしたがひて進出しめけるにユダの支派掣れたれば
And Joshua rises early in the morning, and brings Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;
17 ユダのもろもろの宗族を進み出でしめけるにゼラの宗族掣れゼラの宗族の人々を進み出しめけるにザブデ掣れ
and he brings the family of Judah near, and he captures the family of the Zerahite; and he brings the family of the Zerahite near by men, and Zabdi is captured;
18 ザブデの家の人々を進み出しめけるにアカン掣れぬ彼はユダの支派なるゼラの子ザブデの子なるカルミの子なり
and he brings his household near by men, and Achan—son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah—is captured.
19 ヨシユア、アカンに言けるは我子よ請ふイスラエルの神ヱホバに稱讃を歸し之にむかひて懺悔し汝の爲たる事を我に告よ其事を我に隱すなかれ
And Joshua says to Achan, “My son, please give glory to YHWH, God of Israel, and give thanks to Him, and now declare to me what you have done—do not hide [it] from me.”
20 アカン、ヨシユアに答へて言けるは實にわれはイスラエルの神ヱホバに對ひて罪ををかし如此々々行へり
And Achan answers Joshua and says, “Truly I have sinned against YHWH, God of Israel, and I have done thus and thus;
21 即ちわれ掠取物の中にバビロンの美しき衣服一枚に銀二百シケルと重量五十シケルの金の棒あるを見欲く思ひて其を取れりそれはわが天幕の中に地に埋め匿してあり銀も下にありと
and I see among the spoil a good robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and behold, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver [is] under it.”
22 爰にヨシユア使者を遣はしければ即ち彼の天幕に奔りゆきて視しに其は彼の天幕の中に匿しありて銀も下にありき
And Joshua sends messengers, and they run to the tent, and behold, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver [is] under it;
23 彼ら其を天幕の中より取出してヨシユアとイスラエルの一切の人々の所に携へきたりければ則ちそれをヱホバの前に置り
and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before YHWH.
24 ヨシユアやがてイスラエルの一切の人とともにゼラの子アカンを執へかの銀と衣服と金の棒およびその男子女子牛驢馬羊天幕など凡て彼の有る物をことごとく取てアコルの谷にこれを曳ゆけり
And Joshua takes Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his donkey, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he has, and all Israel with him, and they brought them up [to] the Valley of Achor.
25 而してヨシユア言けらく汝なんぞ我らを惱まししやヱホバ今日汝を惱ましたまふべしと頓てイスラエル人みな石をもて彼を撃ころし又その家族等をも石にて撃ころし火をもて之を焚けり
And Joshua says, “Why have you troubled us? YHWH troubles you this day!” And all Israel cast stone at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,
26 而してアカンの上に大なる石堆を積揚たりしが今日まで存るかくてヱホバその烈しき忿怒を息たまへり是によりてその處の名を今日までアコル(惱)の谷と呼ぶ
and they raise up a great heap of stones over him to this day, and YHWH turns back from the heat of His anger, therefore [one] has called the name of that place “Valley of Achor” until this day.
