1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰ふイスラエルの人々ペリシテ人のまへより逃げ負傷者ギルボア山に斃れたり
2 The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
ペリシテ人サウルと其子等に攻よりペリシテ人サウルの子ヨナタン、アビナダブおよびマルキシユアを殺したり
3 The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
戰はげしくサウルにせまりて射手の者サウルを射とめければ彼痛く射手の者のために苦しめり
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
サウル武器を執る者にいひけるは爾の劍を抜き其をもて我を刺とほせ恐らくは是等の割禮なき者きたりて我を刺し我をはづかしめんと然ども武器をとるもの痛くおそれて肯ぜざればサウル劍をとりて其上に伏したり
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
武器を執るものサウルの死たるを見ておのれも劍の上にふしてかれとともに死り
6 So Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together.
かくサウルと其三人の子およびサウルの武器をとるもの並に其從者みな此日倶に死り
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
イスラエルの人々の谷の對向にをるもの及びヨルダンの對面にをるものイスラエルの人々の逃るを見サウルと其子等の死るをみて諸邑を棄て逃ければペリシテ人きたりて其中にをる
8 On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
明日ペリシテ人戰沒せる者を剥んとてきたりサウルと其三人の子のギルボア山にたふれをるを見たり
9 They cut off his head, stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
彼等すなはちサウルの首を斬り其鎧甲をはぎとりペリシテ人の地の四方につかはして此好報を其偶像の家および民の中につげしむ
10 They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
またかれら其鎧甲をアシタロテの家におき其體をベテシヤンの城垣に釘けたり
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
ヤベシギレアデの人々ペリシテ人のサウルになしたる事を聞きしかば
12 all the valiant men arose, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
勇士みなおこり終夜ゆきてサウルの體と其子等の體をベテシヤンの城垣よりとりおろしヤベシにいたりて之を其處に焚き
13 They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
其骨をとりてヤベシの柳樹の下にはうむり七日のあひだ斷食せり
