1 Samuel 7
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the LORD’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the LORD’s ark.
キリアテヤリムの人來りヱホバのはこを携へのぼりこれを山のうへなるアビナダブの家にもちきたり其子エレアザルを聖てヱホバの櫃をまもらしむ
2 From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
其櫃キリアテヤリムにとどまること久しくして二十年をへたりイスラエルの全家ヱホバをしたひて歎けり
3 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
時にサムエル、イスラエルの全家に告ていひけるは汝らもし一心を以てヱホバにかへり異る神とアシタロテを汝らの中より棄て汝らの心をヱホバに定め之にのみ事へなばヱホバ汝らをペリシテ人の手より救ひださん
4 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
ここにおいてイスラエルの人々バアルとアシタロテをすててヱホバにのみ事ふ
5 Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you.”
サムエルいひけるはイスラエル人をことごとくミズパにあつめよ我汝らのためにヱホバにいのらん
6 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
かれらミズパに集り水を汲て之をヱホバのまへに注ぎ其日斷食して彼處にいひけるは我等ヱホバに罪ををかしたりとサムエル、ミズパに於てイスラエルの人を鞫く
7 When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
ペリシテ人イスラエルの人々のミズパに集れるを聞しかばペリシテ人の諸君主イスラエルにせめのぼれりイスラエル人これを聞てペリシテ人をおそれたり
8 The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
イスラエルの人々サムエルに云けるは我らのために我らの神ヱホバに祈ることをやむるなかれ然らばヱホバ我らをペリシテ人の手よりすくひいださん
9 Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.
サムエル哺乳羊をとり燔祭となしてこれをまつたくヱホバにささぐまたサムエル、イスラエルのためにヱホバにいのりければヱホバこれにこたへたまふ
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
サムエル燔祭をささげ居し時ペリシテ人イスラエル人と戰はんとて近づきぬ是日ヱホバ大なる雷をくだしペリシテ人をうちて之を亂し賜ければペリシテ人イスラエル人のまへに敗れたり
11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.
イスラエル人ミズパをいでてペリシテ人をおひ之をうちてベテカルの下にいたる
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “The LORD helped us until now.”
サムエル一の石をとりてミズパとセンの間におきヱホバ是まで我らを助けたまへりといひて其名をエベネゼル(助けの石)と呼ぶ
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. The LORD’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
ペリシテ人攻伏られて再びイスラエルの境にいらずサムエルの一生のあひだヱホバの手ペリシテ人をふせげり
14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
ペリシテ人のイスラエルより取たる邑々はエクロンよりガテまでイスラエルにかへりぬまた其周圍の地はイスラエル人これをペリシテ人の手よりとりかへせりまたイスラエル人とアモリ人と好をむすべり
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
サムエル一生のあひだイスラエルをさばき
16 He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
歳々ベテルとギルガルおよびミズパをめぐりて其處々にてイスラエル人をさばき
17 His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to the LORD there.
またラマにかへれり此處に其家あり此にてイスラエルをさばき又此にてヱホバに壇をきづけり
