< 1 Samuel 29 >
1 Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
爰にペリシテ人其軍をことごとくアペクにあつむイスラエルはヱズレルにある泉水の傍に陣をとる
2 As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
ペリシテ人の君等あるひは百人或は千人をひきゐて進みダビデと其從者はアキシとともに其後にすすむ
3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
ペリシテ人の諸伯いひけるは是等のヘブル人は何なるやアキシ、ペリシテ人の諸伯にいひけるは此はイスラエルの王サウルの僕ダビデにあらずやかれ此日ごろ此年ごろ我とともにをりしがその逃げおちし日より今日にいたるまで我かれの身に咎あるを見ずと
4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
ペリシテ人の諸伯これを怒る即ちペリシテ人の諸伯彼にいひけるは此人をかへらしめて爾が之をおきし其所にふたたびいたらしめよ彼は我らとともに戰ひにくだるべからず然ば彼戰爭においてわれらの敵とならざるべしかれ其主と和がんとせば何をもてすべきやこの人々の首級をもてすべきにあらずや
5 Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
是はかつて人々が舞踏の中にて歌ひあひ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たるダビデにあらずや
6 So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
アキシ、ダビデをよびてこれにいひけるはヱホバは生くまことになんぢは正し爾の我とともに陣營に出入するはわが目には善と見ゆ其は爾が我に來りし日より今日にいたるまで我爾の身に惡き事あるを見ざればなり然ど諸伯の目には爾よからず
7 Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”
されば今かへりて安かにゆきペリシテ人の諸伯の目に惡く見ゆることをなすなかれ
8 “But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
ダビデ、アキシにいひけるは我何をなせしやわが爾のまへに出し日より今日までに爾何を僕の身に見たればか我ゆきてわが主なるわうの敵とたたかふことをえざると
9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’
アキシこたへてダビデにいひけるは我爾のわが目には神の使のごとく善きをしるされどペリシテ人の諸伯かれは我らとともに戰ひにのぼるべからずといへり
10 Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”
されば爾および爾の主の僕の爾とともにきたれる者明朝夙く起よ爾ら朝はやくおきて夜のあくるに及ばばさるべし
11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
是をもてダビデと其從者ペリシテ人の地にかへらんと朝はやく起てされりしかしてペリシテ人はヱズレルにのぼれり
