ヨシュア記 1
1 ヱホバの僕モーセの死し後ヱホバ、モーセの從者ヌンの子ヨシユアに語りて言たまはく
And it comes to pass after the death of Moses, servant of YHWH, that YHWH speaks to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,
2 わが僕モーセは已に死り然ば汝いま此すべての民とともに起てこのヨルダンを濟り我がイスラエルの子孫に與ふる地にゆけ
“My servant Moses is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
3 凡そ汝らが足の蹠にて踏む所は我これを盡く汝らに與ふ我が前にモーセに語し如し
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, as I have spoken to Moses.
4 汝らの疆界は荒野および此レバノンより大河ユフラテ河に至りてヘテ人の全地を包ね日の沒る方の大海に及ぶべし
From this wilderness and Lebanon, and to the great river, the Euphrates River, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea—the going in of the sun—is your border.
5 汝が生ながらふる日の間なんぢに當る事を得る人なかるべし我モーセと偕に在しごとく汝と偕にあらん我なんぢを離れず汝を棄じ
No man stations himself before you all [the] days of your life; as I have been with Moses, I am with you, I do not fail you, nor forsake you;
6 心を強くしかつ勇め汝はこの民をして我が之に與ふることをその先祖等に誓ひたりし地を獲しむべき者なり
be strong and courageous, for you cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
7 惟心を強くし勇み勵んで我僕モーセが汝に命ぜし律法をことごとく守りて行へ之を離れて右にも左にも曲るなかれ然ば汝いづくに往ても利を得べし
Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; you do not turn aside from it right or left, so that you act wisely in every [place] to where you go;
8 この律法の書を汝の口より離すべからず夜も晝もこれを念ひて其中に録したる所をことごとく守りて行へ然ば汝の途福利を得汝かならず勝利を得べし
the scroll of this Law does not depart out of your mouth, and you have meditated in it by day and by night, so that you observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you cause your way to prosper, and then you act wisely.
9 我なんぢに命ぜしにあらずや心を強くしかつ勇め汝の凡て往く處にて汝の神ヱホバ偕に在せば懼るる勿れ戰慄なかれ
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified nor frightened, for your God YHWH [is] with you in every [place] to where you go.”
10 茲にヨシユア民の有司等に命じて言ふ
And Joshua commands the authorities of the people, saying,
11 陣營の中を行めぐり民に命じて言へ汝等糧食を備へよ三日の内に汝らは此ヨルダンを濟り汝らの神ヱホバが汝らに與へて獲させんとしたまふ地を獲んために進みゆくべければなりと
“Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.”
12 ヨシユアまたルベン人ガド人およびマナセの支派の半に告て言ふ
And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua has spoken, saying,
13 ヱホバの僕モーセ前に汝らに命じて言り汝らの神ヱホバ今なんぢらに安息を賜へり亦この地を汝らに與へたまふべしと汝らこの言詞を記念よ
“Remember the word which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, saying, Your God YHWH is giving rest to you, and He has given this land to you;
14 汝らの妻子および家畜はモーセが汝らに與へしヨルダンの此旁の地に止まるべし然ど汝ら勇者は皆身をよろひて兄弟等の先にたち進濟りて之を助けよ
your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan, and you pass over by fifties, before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and have helped them,
15 而してヱホバが汝らに賜ひし如くなんぢらの兄弟等にも安息を賜ふにおよばば又かれらもなんぢらの神ヱホバの與へたまふ地を獲るにおよばば汝らヱホバの僕モーセより與へられしヨルダンの此旁日の出る方なる己が所有の地に還りてこれを保つべしと
until YHWH gives rest to your brothers as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which your God YHWH is giving to them; then you have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.”
16 彼らヨシユアに應て言ふ汝が我等に命ぜし所は我等盡く爲べし凡て汝が我らを遣す處には我ら往べし
And they answer Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we do; and to every [place] to where you send us, we go;
17 我らは一切の事モーセに聽したがひし如く亦なんぢに聽したがはん唯ねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ、モーセと偕にいまししごとく汝と偕に在さんことを
according to all that we listened to [from] Moses, so we listen to you; surely your God YHWH is with you as He has been with Moses.
18 誰にもあれ汝が命令に背き凡て汝が命ずるところの言に聽したがはざる者あらば之を殺すべし唯なんぢ心を強くしかつ勇め
Any man who provokes your mouth, and does not hear your words, in all that you command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.”
