< 1 Samuel 10 >
1 Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:
サムエルすなはち膏の瓶をとりてサウルの頭に沃ぎ口接して曰けるはヱホバ汝をたてて其產業の長となしたまふにあらずや
2 When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?
汝今日我をはなれて去りゆく時ベニヤミンの境のゼルザにあるラケルの墓のかたはらにて二人の人にあふべしかれら汝にいはん汝がたづねにゆきし驢馬は見あたりぬ汝の父驢馬のことをすてて汝らのことをおもひわづらひわが子の事をいかがすべきやといへりと
3 Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:
其處より汝尚すすみてタボルの橡の樹のところにいたらんに彼處にてベテルにのぼり神にまうでんとする三人の者汝にあはん一人は三頭の山羊羔を携へ一人は三團のパンをたづさへ一人は一嚢の酒をたづさふ
4 They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.
かれら汝に安否をとひ二團のパンを汝にあたへん汝之を其手よりうくべし
5 After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:
其の後汝神のギベアにいたらん其處にペリシテ人の代官あり汝彼處にゆきて邑にいるとき一群の預言者の瑟と鼗と笛と琴を前に執らせて預言しつつ崇邱をくだるにあはん
6 And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.
其の時神のみたま汝にのぞみて汝かれらとともに預言し變りて新しき人とならん
7 And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.
是らの徴汝の身におこらば手のあたるにまかせて事を爲すべし神汝とともにいませばなり
8 Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.
汝我にさきだちてギルガルにくだるべし我汝の許にくだりて燔祭を供へ酬恩祭を献げんわが汝のもとに至り汝の爲すべきことを示すまで汝七日のあひだ待つべし
9 And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day.
サケウル背をかへしてサムエルを離れし時神之に新しき心をあたへたまふしかして此しるし皆其日におこれり
10 And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.
ふたり彼處にゆきてギベアにいたれるときみよ一群の預言者これにあふしかして神の霊サウルにのぞみてサウルかれらの中にありて預言せり
11 Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?
素よりサウルを識る人々サウルの預言者と偕に預言するを見て互ひにいひけるはキシの子サウル今何事にあふやサウルも預言者の中にあるやと
12 And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
其處の人ひとり答へて彼等の父は誰ぞやといふ是故にサウルも預言者の中にあるやといふは諺となれり
13 Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.
サウル預言を終て崇邱にいたるに
14 And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.
サウルの叔父サウルと僕にいひけるは汝ら何處にゆきしやサウルいひけるは驢馬を尋ねに出しが何處にもをらざるを見てサムエルの許にいたれり
15 Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?
サウルの叔父いひけるはサムエルは汝に何をいひしか請ふ我につげよ
16 And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.
サウル叔父にいひけるは明かに驢馬の見あたりしを告げたりと然れどもサムエルが言る國王の事はこれにつげざりき
17 Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;
サムエル民をミヅパにてヱホバのまへに集め
18 And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:
イスラエルの子孫にいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯くいひたまふ我イスラエルをみちびきてエジプトより出し汝らをエジプト人の手および凡て汝らを虐遇る國人の手より救ひいだせり
19 But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
然るに汝らおのれを患難と難苦のうちより救ひいだしたる汝らの神を棄て且否われらに王をたてよといへり是故にいま汝等の支派と群にしたがひてヱホバのまへに出よ
20 So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
サムエル、イスラエルの諸の支派を呼よせし時ベニヤミンの支派籤にあたりぬ
21 Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.
またベニヤミンの支派を其族のかずにしたがひて呼よせしときマテリの族籤にあたりキシの子サウル籤にあたれり人々かれを尋ねしかども見出ざれば
22 So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.
またヱホバに其人は此に來るや否やを問しにヱホバ答たまはく視よ彼は行李のあひだにかくると
23 So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.
人々はせゆきて彼を其處よりつれきたれり彼民の中にたつに肩より以上民の何の人よりも高かりき
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!
サムエル民にいひけるは汝らヱホバの擇みたまひし人を見るか民のうちに是人の如き者とし民みなよばはりいひけるは願くは王いのちながかれ
25 Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
時にサムエル王國の典章を民にしめして之を書にしるし之をヱホバのまへに蔵めたりしかしてサムエル民をことごとく其家にかへらしむ
26 And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.
サウルもまたギベアの家にかへるに神に心を感ぜられたる勇士等これとともにゆけり
27 But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.
然れども邪なる人々は彼人いかで我らを救はんやといひて之を蔑視り之に禮物をおくらざりしかどサウルは唖のごとくせり
