1 Samuel 16
1 And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.
爰にヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるは我すでにサウルを棄てイスラエルに王たらしめざるに汝いつまでかれのために歎くや汝の角に膏油を滿してゆけ我汝をベテレヘム人ヱサイの許につかはさん其は我其子の中にひとりの王を尋ねえたればなり
2 And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.
サムエルいひけるは我いかで往くことをえんサウル聞て我をころさんヱホバいひたまひけるは汝一犢を携へゆきて言へヱホバに犠牲をささげんために來ると
3 And send for Jesse to be present at the offering, and I will make clear to you what you are to do: and you are to put the holy oil on him whose name I give you.
しかしてヱサイを犠牲の場によべ我汝が爲すべき事をしめさん我汝に告るところの人に膏をそそぐ可し
4 And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?
サムエル、ヱホバの語たまひしごとくなしてベテレヘムにいたる邑の長老おそれて之をむかへいひけるは汝平康なる事のためにきたるや
5 And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.
サムエルいひけるは平康なることのためなり我はヱホバに犠牲をささげんとてきたる汝ら身をきよめて我とともに犠牲の場にきたれと斯てヱサイと其諸子を潔めて犠牲の場によびきたる
6 Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.
かれらが至れる時サムエル、エリアブを見ておもへらくヱホバの膏そそぐものは必ず此人ならんと
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.
しかるにヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるは其容貌と身長を觀るなかれ我すでにかれをすてたりわが視るところは人に異なり人は外の貌を見ヱホバは心をみるなり
8 Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
ヱサイ、ヘアビナダブをよびてサムエルのまへを過しむサムエルいひけるは此人もまたヱホバ擇みたまはず
9 Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
ヱサイ、シヤンマを過しむサムエルいひけるは此人もまたヱホバえらみたまはず
10 And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.
ヱサイ其七人の子をしてサムエルの前をすぎしむサムエル、ヱサイにいふヱホバ是等をえらみたまはず
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.
サムエル、ヱサイにいひけるは汝の男子は皆此にをるやヱサイいひけるは尚季子のこれり彼は羊を牧をるなりとサムエル、ヱサイにいひけるは彼を迎へきたらしめよかれが此にいたるまでは我ら食に就かざるべし
12 So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
是において人をつかはしてかれをつれきたらしむ其人色赤く目美しくして其貌麗しヱホバいひたまひけるは起てこれにあぶらを沃げ是其人なり
13 Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
サムエル膏の角をとりて其兄弟の中にてこれに膏をそそげり此日よりのちヱホバの霊ダビデにのぞむサムエルはたちてラマにゆけり
14 Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
かくてヱホバの霊サウルをはなれヱホバより來る惡鬼これを惱せり
15 And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
サウルの臣僕これにいひけるは視よ神より來れる惡鬼汝をなやます
16 Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.
ねがはくはわれらの主汝のまへにつかふる臣僕に命じて善く琴を鼓く者一人を求めしめよ神よりきたれる惡鬼汝に臨む時彼手をもて琴を鼓て汝いゆることをえん
17 And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.
サウル臣僕にいひけるはわがために巧に鼓琴者をたづねてわがもとにつれきたれ
18 Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.
時に一人の少者こたへていひけるは我ベテレヘム人ヱサイの子を見しが琴に巧にしてまた豪氣して善くたたかふ辯舌さはやかなる美しき人なりかつヱホバこれとともにいます
19 So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
サウルすなはち使者をヱサイにつかはしていひけるは羊をかふ汝の子ダビデをわがもとに遣はせと
20 And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
ヱサイすなはち驢馬にパンを負せ一嚢の酒と山羊の羔を執りてこれを其子ダビデの手によりてサウルにおくれり
21 And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms.
ダビデ、サウルの許にいたりて其まへに事ふサウル大にこれを愛し其武器を執る者となす
22 And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.
サウル人をヱサイにつかはしていひけるはねがはくはダビデをしてわが前に事へしめよ彼はわが心にかなへりと
23 And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
神より出たる惡鬼サウルに臨めるときダビデ琴を執り手をもてこれを弾にサウル慰さみて愈え惡鬼かれをはなる
