アルマ書 第１６章
THE BOOK OF ALMA THE SON OF ALMA CHAPTER 16
ｱﾙﾏ16,*-*,戦争があると言う叫び声。罪悪の都市、アモナイハ、レーマン人に亡ばされる。ゾーラムとその２人の息子、的軍を潰走させる。ニーホル宗徒の絶滅。教会がひろく設立される。
The Lamanites destroy the people of Ammonihah—Zoram leads the Nephites to victory over the Lamanites—Alma and Amulek and many others preach the word—They teach that after his resurrection Christ will appear to the Nephites. About 81—78 B.C.
ｱﾙﾏ16,1,ゼラヘムラの地には久しく平和がつずいて、ニーファイの民を治める判事治世の１１年２月５日になるまでは数年の間戦争もなかったが、この日全国に戦が起ったと言う叫び声が聞えた。
1 And it came to pass in the *eleventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, on the fifth day of the second month, there having been much peace in the land of Zarahemla, there having been no wars nor contentions for a certain number of years, even until the fifth day of the second month in the eleventh year, there was a cry of war heard throughout the land.
ｱﾙﾏ16,2,これは、レーマン人の軍勢がすでに荒野の方から国境に侵入して来て、アモナイハ市にまで信軍しその住民を殺し都会を破壊し始めたからである。
2 For behold, the armies of the Lamanites had come in upon the wilderness side, into the borders of the land, even into the city of aAmmonihah, and began to slay the people and destroy the city.
ｱﾙﾏ16,3,そしてニーファイ人が軍勢を国から追い払うに足る兵を募らない内に、レーマンははやくもアモナイハの寿海ｎを殺し、ノアの地の附近に住む人々をいくらか殺し、またほかの人々をとりこにして荒野へつれて行った。
3 And now it came to pass, before the Nephites could raise a sufficient army to drive them out of the land, they had adestroyed the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, and also some around the borders of Noah, and taken others captive into the wilderness.
ｱﾙﾏ16,4,そこでニーファイ人はとりことなって荒野へつれて行かれた人々を取り戻したいと思った。
4 Now it came to pass that the Nephites were desirous to obtain those who had been carried away captive into the wilderness.
ｱﾙﾏ16,5,ニーファイ人の軍の司令長官に任ぜられた人はゾーラムと言い。れー敗とエーハと言う２人の息子があった。ゾーラムとその２人の息子は、アルマが教会の大祭司であることを知って、またアルマには予言の”みたま”が共にあることを知って、一しょにアルマの所へ行 自分たちがもしも軍を野に出してレーマン人に捕らえられた兄弟らを探したなら、それは主のみこころにかなうかどうかとアルマにたずねた。
5 Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name was Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)—now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma was high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.
ｱﾙﾏ16,6,そこでアルマはこの事件について主に祈り、それから３人の前へ帰って来て答えた”見よ、レーマン人はマンタイ地の境のはるか向日にある南の野に於てサイドン川をわたるはずであるから、汝らはこれを川の当方にむかえて戦え。されば主はレーマン人が捕えた汝らの 兄弟らを汝たの手に返したもうであろう”と。
6 And it came to pass that Alma ainquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And Alma returned and said unto them: Behold, the Lamanites will cross the river Sidon in the south wilderness, away up beyond the borders of the land of bManti. And behold there shall ye meet them, on the east of the river Sidon, and there the Lord will deliver unto thee thy brethren who have been taken captive by the Lamanites.
ｱﾙﾏ16,7,これによってゾーラムは２人の息子と一しょに軍をひきつれてサイドン川をわたり、マンタイの地の境をはるか後にしてサイドン川の南の野まで進軍し、
7 And it came to pass that Zoram and his sons crossed over the river Sidon, with their armies, and marched away beyond the borders of Manti into the south wilderness, which was on the east side of the river Sidon.
ｱﾙﾏ16,8,ここでレーマン人の軍に向ったところ、レーマン人は撃ち散らされて荒野の奥へ払われた。そこでニーファイ人はレーマン人に捕らえられた自分の兄弟たちを取り返したが、その数は１人も欠けていなかった。よって、かれらは兄弟たちに連れられてそれぞれの所有地に 帰った。
8 And they came upon the armies of the Lamanites, and the Lamanites were scattered and driven into the wilderness; and they took their brethren who had been taken captive by the Lamanites, and there was not one soul of them had been lost that were taken captive. And they were brought by their brethren to possess their own lands.
ｱﾙﾏ16,9,それで判事治世の１１年目は終り、レーマン人はすでに国外に追われ、アモナイハの住民は亡びた。アモナイハ人は１人ものこらず殺されたが、大きな都会であったから神でさえも破壊することができないとかれらが誇った大都会も、
9 And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the Lamanites having been driven out of the land, and the people of Ammonihah were adestroyed; yea, bevery living soul of the Ammonihahites was cdestroyed, and also their dgreat city, which they said God could not destroy, because of its greatness.
ｱﾙﾏ16,10,１日の中に荒れすたれた所となり、その住民の死体は犬と野の猛獣のために食い裂かれてその餌となった。
10 But behold, in aone day it was left desolate; and the bcarcases were mangled by dogs and wild beasts of the wilderness.
ｱﾙﾏ16,11,しかし多くの日が経ってから、その死体はうず高く地上に積み上げられ浅く土をかけて覆ってあったが、その臭気がひどかったから、長年の間アモナイハの地へ行って住む者はなかった。そしてその地は”ニーホル宗徒全滅の地”ととなえられた。それは糊塗された者た ニーホル宗を信じ、その地が荒れすたれたまますててあったからである。
11 Nevertheless, after many days their adead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth, and they were covered with a shallow covering. And now so great was the scent thereof that the people did not go in to possess the land of Ammonihah for many years. And it was called Desolation of bNehors; for they were of the profession of Nehor, who were slain; and their lands remained desolate.
ｱﾙﾏ16,12,ニーファイの民を治める判事治世の１４年目まで、レーマン人は再びニーファイ人の国へ戦に出てこなかったので、ニーファイの民は３年の間ひきつずき全国に平和を保った。
12 And the Lamanites did not come again to war against the Nephites *until the fourteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi. And thus for three years did the people of Nephi have continual peace in all the land.
ｱﾙﾏ16,13,その間、アルマとアミュレクは出て行って神殿、聖堂、またはユダヤ人風に建てた街道などで、民に悔改めを宣べ、
13 And Alma and Amulek went forth preaching repentance to the people in their atemples, and in their bsanctuaries, and also in their csynagogues, which were built after the manner of the Jews.
ｱﾙﾏ16,14,自分たちの言葉を喜んで聞いた人たちには、誰にも偏よることなくたえず神の道を伝えた。
14 And as many as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God, without any arespect of persons, continually.
ｱﾙﾏ16,15,このようにアルマとアミュレクと教えを宣べる職に任ぜられた多くの人たちは、全国の神の道を宣べ弘めるために出て行ったから、ニーファイ任の住む国の方々にはいたる所に教会が設立され、
15 And thus did Alma and Amulek go forth, and also many more who had been chosen for the work, to preach the word throughout all the land. And the establishment of the church became general throughout the land, in all the region round about, among all the people of the Nephites.
ｱﾙﾏ16,16,民の間には等差がなく、主はその”みたま”を全国に注ぎたもうた。これは主が降臨をなさる際に教えたもうことを人々に受け入れる用意をさせ、
16 And there was ano inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their bhearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming—
ｱﾙﾏ16,17,また神の道に対してかたくなにならず、無信仰で亡びに赴くことなく、喜んで神の道を受け入れさせ、その神である主の安息に入るため、枝のように真の木に接がせさせるためであった。
17 That they might not be hardened against the word, that they might not be unbelieving, and go on to destruction, but that they might receive the word with joy, and as a abranch be grafted into the true vine, that they might enter into the brest of the Lord their God.
ｱﾙﾏ16,18,民の間を歩き廻った祭司たちは、一切の虚言、詐欺、嫉妬、争い、遺恨、罵り、盗み、強盗、りゃく奪、人殺し、姦淫およびいろいろのみだらな行いをとがめる説教をし、声を大きくしてこのような行いをしてはならないことを諭した。
18 Now those apriests who did go forth among the people did preach against all blyings, and cdeceivings, and denvyings, and estrifes, and malice, and revilings, and stealing, robbing, plundering, murdering, committing adultery, and all manner of lasciviousness, crying that these things ought not so to be—
ｱﾙﾏ16,19,かれらはやがて将来起ること、すなわち神の御子（イエス・キリスト）の降臨とその苦しみと市と死者の復活とを親切丁寧に教えた。
19 Holding forth things which must shortly come; yea, holding forth the acoming of the Son of God, his sufferings and death, and also the resurrection of the dead.
ｱﾙﾏ16,20,それで多くの人々は、神の御子の降臨したもう場所をたずねたところ、神の御子は復活の後にこの地の民にも現われたもう由を教えられ、人は皆これを聞いて非常にこころに喜んだ。
20 And many of the people did inquire concerning the place where the Son of God should come; and they were taught that he would aappear unto them bafter his resurrection; and this the people did hear with great joy and gladness.
ｱﾙﾏ16,21,このように教会はすでに全国に設立されて悪魔に打ち勝ち、神の道は純粋なままにあまねく国内に宣べ伝えられ、主は祝福を民に注ぎたもうた。ニーファイの民を治める判事治世の１４年目はこのように幸福な有様で暮れた。
21 And now after the church had been established throughout all the land—having got the avictory over the devil, and the word of God being preached in its purity in all the land, and the Lord pouring out his blessings upon the people—thus ended the fourteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
