< 1 Kings 19 >
1 Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.
アハブ、イゼベルにエリヤの凡て爲たる事及び其如何に諸の預言者を刀劍にて殺したるかを告しかば
2 Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
イゼベル使をエリヤに遣はして言けるは神等斯なし復重て斯なしたまへ我必ず明日の今時分汝の命を彼人々の一人の生命のごとくせんと
3 And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
かれ恐れて起ち其生命のために逃げ往てユダに屬するベエルシバに至り少者を其處に遺して
4 While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
自ら一日程ほど曠野に入り往て金雀花の下に坐し其身の死んことを求めていふヱホバよ足り今わが生命を取たまへ我はわが父祖よりも善にはあらざるなりと
5 And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
彼金雀花の下に伏して寝りしが天の使彼に捫り興て食へと言ければ
6 And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.
彼見しに其頭の側に炭に燒きたるパンと一瓶の水ありき乃ち食ひ飮て復偃臥たり
7 And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.
ヱホバの使者復再び來りて彼に捫りていひけるは興て食へ其は途長くして汝勝べからざればなりと
8 So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.
彼興て食ひ且飮み其食の力に仗て四十日四十夜行て神の山ホレブに至る
9 And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
彼處にて彼洞穴に入りて其處に宿りしが主の言彼に臨みて彼に言けるはエリヤよ汝此にて何を爲や
10 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
彼いふ我は萬軍の神ヱホバのために甚だ熱心なり其はイスラエルの子孫汝の契約を棄て汝の壇を毀ち刀劍を以て汝の預言者を殺したればなり惟我一人存るに彼等我生命を取んことを求むと
11 Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは出てヱホバの前に山の上に立てと茲にヱホバ過ゆきたまふにヱホバのまへに當りて大なる強き風山を裂き岩石を碎しが風の中にはヱホバ在さざりき風の後に地震ありしが地震の中にはヱホバ在さざりき
12 And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.
又地震の後に火ありしが火の中にはヱホバ在さざりき火の後に靜なる細微き聲ありき
13 And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
エリヤ聞て面を外套に蒙み出て洞穴の口に立ちけるに聲ありて彼に臨みエリヤよ汝此にて何をなすやといふ
14 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
かれいふ我は萬軍の神ヱホバの爲に甚だ熱心なり其はイスラエルの子孫汝の契約を棄て汝の壇を毀ち刀劍を以て汝の預言者を殺したればなり惟我一人存れるに彼等我が生命を取んことを求むと
15 And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;
ヱホバかれに言たまひけるは往て汝の途に返りダマスコの曠野に至り往てハザエルに膏を沃ぎてスリアの王となせ
16 And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.
又汝ニムシの子エヒウに膏を注ぎてイスラエルの王となすべし又アベルメホラのシヤパテの子エリシヤに膏をそそぎ爾に代りて預言者とならしむべし
17 And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.
ハザエルの刀劍を逃るる者をばエヒウ殺さんエヒウの刀劍を逃るる者をばエリシヤ殺さん
18 But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.
又我イスラエルの中に七千人を遺さん皆其膝をバアルに跼めず其口を之に接ざる者なりと
19 So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.
エリヤ彼處よりゆきてシヤパテの子エリシヤに遭ふ彼は十二軛の牛を其前に行しめて己は其第十二の牛と偕にありて耕し居たりエリヤ彼の所にわたりゆきて外套を其上にかけたれば
20 And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
牛を棄てエリヤの後に趨ゆきて言けるは請ふ我をしてわが父母に接吻せしめよしかるのち我爾にしたがはんとエリヤかれに言けるは行け還れ我爾に何をなしたるやと
21 And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.
エリシヤ彼をはなれて還り一軛の牛をとりて之をころし牛の器具を焚て其肉を煮て民にあたへて食はしめ起て往きエリヤに從ひて之に事へたり
