De 9:1-25.
MOSES DISSUADES THEM FROM THE OPINION OF THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
1. this day--means this time. The Israelites had reached the confines of the promised land, but were obliged, to their great mortification, to return. But now they certainly were to enter it. No obstacle could prevent their possession; neither the fortified defenses of the towns, nor the resistance of the gigantic inhabitants of whom they had received from the spies so formidable a description.
cities great and fenced up to heaven--Oriental cities generally cover a much greater space than those in Europe; for the houses often stand apart with gardens and fields intervening. They are almost all surrounded with walls built of burnt or sun-dried bricks, about forty feet in height. All classes in the East, but especially the nomad tribes, in their ignorance of engineering and artillery, would have abandoned in despair the idea of an assault on a walled town, which to-day would be demolished in a few hours.

4-6. 心の中で……私の義のゆえに、主が私を導き入れてこの地を所有させてくださったと言ってはならない――モーセは、彼ら自身の功績がこの際立った特権をもたらしたという虚栄から同胞を守るために特別な配慮をする。カナン人は矯正不能に堕落した種族であり、絶滅に値した。しかし歴史は、神が腐敗した罪ある国々を、彼ら自身と同じくらい悪い他の民の道具によって罰せられた多くの際立った実例を伝えている。イスラエル人のためではなく、ご自身のために、敬虔な先祖になされた約束のために、そして世界への善の高く包括的な目的を促進するために、神は彼らにカナンの授与を与えようとしておられたのである。

4-6. Speak not thou in thine heart, . . . saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land--Moses takes special care to guard his countrymen against the vanity of supposing that their own merits had procured them the distinguished privilege. The Canaanites were a hopelessly corrupt race, and deserved extermination; but history relates many remarkable instances in which God punished corrupt and guilty nations by the instrumentality of other people as bad as themselves. It was not for the sake of the Israelites, but for His own sake, for the promise made to their pious ancestors, and in furtherance of high and comprehensive purposes of good to the world, that God was about to give them a grant of Canaan.

7. 思い起こし、忘れてはならない。あなたがどのように主を怒らせたかを――彼らの心から独り善がりの義の思いを取り除くため、モーセは彼らの不服従と反逆の行為を復唱する。それは頻繁に、最も恐ろしく印象的な荘厳な状況の中で行われ、彼らは神の恵みに対するすべての請求権を失っていた。彼がこれほど国民の品格を傷つける告発を述べた率直さと大胆さ、そして民がそれに耐えた忍耐強い従順さは、この歴史の真実性の多くの証拠の一つとしてしばしば引用されてきた。

7. Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord--To dislodge from their minds any presumptuous idea of their own righteousness, Moses rehearses their acts of disobedience and rebellion committed so frequently, and in circumstances of the most awful and impressive solemnity, that they had forfeited all claims to the favor of God. The candor and boldness with which he gave, and the patient submission with which the people bore, his recital of charges so discreditable to their national character, has often been appealed to as among the many evidences of the truth of this history.

12-29. 立ち上がり、急いでここから下って行け。あなたの民が……自分たちを損なったから――彼らを効果的にへりくだらせるため、モーセは彼らの不誠実の最も悪質な実例のいくつかを詳しく説明する。彼は金の子牛の不敬虔から始める。エジプトからの奇跡的な解放、隣接する山で示された神の威光の最も驚くべき示現、ならびに彼らが神の民として行動することを約束した契約の最近の批准が記憶に新しい間の不敬虔は、ほとんど信じ難いほどの移り気または堕落を示すものであった。

12-29. Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people . . . have corrupted themselves--With a view to humble them effectually, Moses proceeds to particularize some of the most atrocious instances of their infidelity. He begins with the impiety of the golden calf--an impiety which, while their miraculous emancipation from Egypt, the most stupendous displays of the Divine Majesty that were exhibited on the adjoining mount, and the recent ratification of the covenant by which they engaged to act as the people of God, were fresh in memory, indicated a degree of inconstancy or debasement almost incredible.

17. 私は二つの板を取って……あなたがたの目の前で打ち砕いた――激しい激情の熱のうちにではなく、義なる憤りのうちに、神の汚れのない栄誉を弁護する熱心から、そして御霊の示唆によって、契約が破られ、民が神の恵みから除外されたことを示すために。

17. I took the two tables, . . . and broke them before your eyes--not in the heat of intemperate passion, but in righteous indignation, from zeal to vindicate the unsullied honor of God, and by the suggestion of His Spirit to intimate that the covenant had been broken, and the people excluded from the divine favor.

18. 私は主の前にひれ伏した――この異邦の宴の光景が、敬虔で愛国的な指導者の心に生じた突然の苦痛の反応は、想像するよりも説明する方が容易である。大きな公の罪は並外れたへりくだりの季節を必要とし、その恐ろしい背教への深い悲しみの中で、彼は以前と同様に奇跡的な断食を行ったようである。

18. I fell down before the Lord--The sudden and painful reaction which this scene of pagan revelry produced on the mind of the pious and patriotic leader can be more easily imagined than described. Great and public sins call for seasons of extraordinary humiliation, and in his deep affliction for the awful apostasy, he seems to have held a miraculous fast as long as before.

20. 主はアロンを滅ぼすために非常に怒られた――民の叫びの波に押し流されるままになったアロンは、偶像礼拝の罪の参与者となった。そしてモーセの彼のための熱心なとりなりが勝てなかったなら、その罪深い妥協の刑罰を受けたであろう。

20. The Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him--By allowing himself to be overborne by the tide of popular clamor, Aaron became a partaker in the guilt of idolatry and would have suffered the penalty of his sinful compliance, had not the earnest intercession of Moses on his behalf prevailed.

21. 私はその灰を山から流れ下る谷川に投げ込んだ――すなわち「打たれた岩」（エル・レジャ）。シナイに隣接する、あるいはその一部であった可能性が高い。イスラエル人がレピディム（ワジ・フェイラン）に駐屯していたとき、この岩から水の供給を受けたが、聖書の叙述には、その岩がその場所のすぐ近くにあったと想定させるものは何もないことが、あまりにも稀にしか心に留められない
(出 17:5 参照)。
この打たれた岩の水は、おそらく山から流れ下る谷川であった。水は、冬の急流が現在アラビア・ペトレアのワジを通じて流れるように
(詩 78:15, 16)、 岩から何マイルも離れて流れたかもしれない。そして岩は、このようにホレブからセイルの山とカデシュ・バルネアの道を経ての旅の間にイスラエル人に水の供給を提供できるような高さで、シナイの谷との関係を持つ場所で打たれたのかもしれない
(申 1:1, 2)。
この仮定の上に、使徒が「岩が」イスラエル人「に従った」と語る

比喩的な言葉に、おそらく新たな光が投じられる [ウィルソン、Land of the Bible]。

21. I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount--that is, "the smitten rock" (El Leja) which was probably contiguous to, or a part of, Sinai. It is too seldom borne in mind that though the Israelites were supplied with water from this rock when they were stationed at Rephidim (Wady Feiran), there is nothing in the Scripture narrative which should lead us to suppose that the rock was in the immediate neighborhood of that place (see on
Ex 17:5).
The water on this smitten rock was probably the brook that descended from the mount. The water may have flowed at the distance of many miles from the rock, as the winter torrents do now through the wadies of Arabia-Petræa
(Ps 78:15, 16).
And the rock may have been smitten at such a height, and at a spot bearing such a relation to the Sinaitic valleys, as to furnish in this way supplies of water to the Israelites during the journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir and Kadesh-barnea
(De 1:1, 2).
On this supposition new light is, perhaps, cast on the figurative language of the apostle, when he speaks of "the rock following" the Israelites
(1Co 10:4)
[WILSON, Land of the Bible].

25. 私は初めにひれ伏したように、四十日四十夜、主の前にひれ伏した――様々の反逆の行為の列挙ののち、彼はカデシュ・バルネアでの反逆に言及した。この節を表面的に読めば、モーセを第三の長引くへりくだりの季節に導いたかのように思われる。しかし、この箇所と
民 14:5
との比較において、この祈りの主題と言葉は、第二のとりなしの行為

25. Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first--After the enumeration of various acts of rebellion, he had mentioned the outbreak at Kadesh-barnea, which, on a superficial reading of this verse, would seem to have led Moses to a third and protracted season of humiliation. But on a comparison of this passage with
Nu 14:5,
the subject and language of this prayer show that only the second act of intercession
(De 9:18)
is now described in fuller detail.
申 9:1-25.
モーセ、自分たちの義に対する彼らの意見を退ける。
1. きょう――は この時 を意味する。イスラエル人は約束の地の境界に達していたが、大いなる屈辱とともに引き返さなければならなかった。しかし今や彼らは確実にそこに入ろうとしていた。いかなる障害も彼らの所有を妨げることはできなかった。町々の堅固な防衛も、探偵たちから彼らが受け取った恐るべき描写の、巨大な住民の抵抗も。
天にまで及ぶ大きく堅固な町々――東洋の町々は一般に、ヨーロッパのものよりもはるかに広い面積を占める。家々が庭や畑を挟んで離れて立つことが多いからである。それらはほとんどすべて、焼いたレンガまたは日干しレンガで築かれた約四十フィートの高さの城壁に囲まれている。東洋のすべての階層、特に遊牧部族は、工学や砲術を知らないため、城壁のある町への襲撃の考えを絶望のうちに放棄したであろう。そのような町は今日なら数時間で破壊されるだろう。
