< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
サウル其子ヨナタンおよび諸の臣僕にダビデをころさんとすることを語れり
2 so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
されどサウルの子ヨナタン深くダビデを愛せしかばヨナタン、ダビデにつげていひけるはわが父サウル汝をころさんことを求むこのゆゑに今ねがはくは汝翌朝謹恪で潜みをりて身を隱せ
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
我いでゆきて汝がをる野にてわが父の傍にたちわが父とともに汝の事を談はんしかして我其事の如何なるを見て汝に告ぐべし
4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
ヨナタン其父サウルに向ひダビデを褒揚ていひけるは願くは王其僕ダビデにむかひて罪ををかすなかれ彼は汝に罪ををかさずまた彼が汝になす行爲ははなはだ善し
5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
またかれは生命をかけてかのペリシテ人をころしたりしかしてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々のためにおほいなる救をほどこしたまふ汝見てよろこべりしかるに何ぞゆゑなくしてダビデをころし無辜者の血をながして罪ををかさんとするや
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
サウル、ヨナタンの言を聽いれサウル誓ひけるはヱホバはいくわれかならずかれをころさじ
7 So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
ヨナタン、ダビデをよびてヨナタン其事をみなダビデにつげ遂にダビデをサウルの許につれきたりければダビデさきのごとくサウルの前にをる
8 When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
爰に再び戰爭おこりぬダビデすなはちいでてペリシテ人とたたかひ大にかれらを殺せしかばかれら其まへを逃げされり
9 But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
サウル手に投槍を執て室に坐する時ヱホバより出たる惡鬼これにのりうつれり其時ダビデ乃ち手をもて琴を弾く
10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But the spear struck the wall and David eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
サウル投槍をもてダビデを壁に刺とほさんとしたりしがダビデ、サウルのまへを避ければ投槍を壁に衝たてたりダビデ其夜逃さりぬ
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
サウル使者をダビデの家につかはしてかれを守らしめ朝におよびてかれをころさしめんとすダビデの妻ミカル、ダビデにつげていひけるは若し今夜爾の命を援ずば明朝汝は殺されんと
12 So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
ミカル即ち牖よりダビデを縋おろしければ往て逃されり
13 Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
斯てミカル像をとりて其牀に置き山羊の毛の編物を其頭におき衣服をもて之をおほへり
14 When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
サウル、ダビデを執ふる使者をつかはしければミカルいふかれは疾ありと
15 But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
サウル使者をつかはしダビデを見させんとていひけるはかれを牀のまま我にたづさきたれ我これをころさん
16 And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
使者いりて見たるに牀には像ありて其頭に山羊の毛の編物ありき
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
サウル、ミカルにいひけるはなんぞかく我をあざむきてわが敵を逃しやりしやミカル、サウルにこたへけるは彼我にいへり我をはなちてさらしめよ然らずば我汝をころさんと
18 So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
ダビデにげさりてラマにゆきサムエルの許にいたりてサウルがおのれになせしことをことごとくつげたりしかしてダビデとサムエルはゆきてナヨテにすめり
19 When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
サウルに告る者ありていふ視よダビデはラマのナヨテにをると
20 he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
サウル乃ちダビデを執ふる使者をつかはせしが彼等預言者の一群の預言しをりてサムエルが其中の長となりて立てるを見るにおよび神の霊サウルの使者にのぞみて彼等もまた預言せり
21 When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
人々これを告ければサウル他の使者を遣しけるにかれらも亦預言せしかばサウルまた三度使者を遣はしけるが彼等もまた預言せり
22 Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
是においてサウルもまたラマにゆきけるがセクの大井にいたれる時問ていひけるはサムエルとダビデは何處にをるや答ていふラマのナヨテにをる
23 So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
サウルかしこにゆきてラマのナヨテに至りけるに神の霊また彼にのぞみて彼ラマのナヨテにいたるまで歩きつつ預言せり
24 Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
彼もまた其衣服をぬぎすて同くサムエルのまへに預言し其一日一夜裸體にて仆臥たり是故に人々サウルもまた預言者のうちにあるかといふ
