< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”
ダビデ、ノブにゆきて祭司アヒメレクにいたるアヒメレク懼れてダビデを迎へこれにいひけるは汝なんぞ獨にして誰も汝とともならざるや
2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’
ダビデ祭司アヒメレクにいふ王我に一の事を命じて我にいふ我が汝を遣はすところの事およびわが汝に命じたる所については何をも人にしらするなかれと我某處に我少者を出おけり
3 Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
いま何か汝の手にあるや我手に五のパンか或はなににてもある所を與よ
4 The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
祭司ダビデに對ていひけるは常のパンはわが手になしされど若し少者婦女をだに愼みてありしならば聖きパンあるなりと
5 David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”
ダビデ祭司に對へていひけるは實にわがいでしより此三日は婦女われらにちかづかず且少者等の器は潔し又パンは常の物のごとし今日器に潔きパンあれば殊に然と
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
祭司かれに聖きパンを與たり其はかしこに供前のパンの外はパン无りければなり即ち其パンは下る日に熱きパンをささげんとて之をヱホバのまへより取されるなり
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
其日かしこにサウルの僕一人留められてヱホバのまへにあり其名をドエグといふエドミ人にしてサウルの牧者の長なり
8 David said to Ahimelech, “Is not there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have not brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
ダビデまたアヒメレクにいふ此に汝の手に槍か劍あらぬか王の事急なるによりて我は刀も武器も携へざりしと
9 The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”
祭司いひけるは汝がエラの谷にて殺したるペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍布に裏みてエポデの後にあり汝もし之をとらんとおもはば取れ此にはほかの劍なしダビデいひけるはそれにまさるものなし我にあたへよと
10 David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
ダビデ其日サウルをおそれて立てガテの王アキシのところに逃げゆきぬ
11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did not they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
アキシの臣僕アキシに曰けるは此は其地の王ダビデにあらずや人々舞踏のうちにこの人のことを歌ひあひてサウルは千をうちころしダビデは萬をうちころすといひしにあらずや
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
ダビデこの言を心に蔵め深くガテの王アキシをおそれ
13 He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
人々のまへに佯て其氣を變じ執はれて狂人のさまをなし門の扉に書き其涎沫を鬚にながれくだらしむ
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
アキシ僕に云けるは汝らの見るごとく此人は狂人なり何ぞかれを我にひき來るや
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
我なんぞ狂人を須ひんや汝ら此者を引きたりてわがまへに狂しめんとするや此者なんぞ吾が家にいるべけんや
