1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.
ハンナ祷りて言けるは我心はヱホバによりて喜び我角はヱホバによりて高し我口はわが敵の上にはりひらく是は我汝の救拯によりて樂むが故なり
2 No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.
ヱホバのごとく聖き者はあらず其は汝の外に有る者なければなり又われらの神のごとき磐はあることなし
3 Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.
汝等重ねて甚く誇りて語るなかれ汝等の口より漫言を出すなかれヱホバは全知の神にして行爲を裁度りたまふなり
4 The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.
勇者の弓は折れ倒るる者は勢力を帶ぶ
5 Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.
飽足る者は食のために身を傭はせ饑たる者は憩へり石女は七人を生み多くの子を有る者は衰ふるにいたる
6 The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up. (Sheol h7585)
ヱホバは殺し又生したまひ陰府に下し又上らしめたまふ (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;
ヱホバは貧からしめ又富しめたまひ卑くしまた高くしたまふ
8 Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.
荏弱者を塵の中より擧げ窮乏者を埃の中より升せて王公の中に坐せしめ榮光の位をつがしめ給ふ地の柱はヱホバの所屬なりヱホバ其上に世界を置きたまへり
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
ヱホバ其聖徒の足を守りたまはん惡き者は黑暗にありて默すべし其は人力をもて勝つべからざればなり
10 Those who make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.
ヱホバと爭ふ者は破碎かれんヱホバ天より雷を彼等の上にくだしヱホバは地の極を審き其王に力を與へ其膏そそぎし者の角を高くし給はん
11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.
エルカナ、ラマに往て其家にいたりしが稚子は祭司エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ
12 Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.
さてエリの子は邪なる者にしてヱホバをしらざりき
13 And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;
祭司の民に於る習慣は斯のごとし人祭物をささぐる時肉を烹るあひだに祭司の僕三の歯ある肉叉を手にとりて來り
14 This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
之を釜あるひは鍋あるひは鼎又は炮烙に突きいれ肉叉の引きあぐるところの肉は祭司みなこれを己にとる是くシロに於て凡てそこに來るイスラエル人になせり
15 And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.
脂をやく前にも亦祭司のしもべ來り祭物をささぐる人にいふ祭司のために燒くべき肉をあたへよ祭司は汝より烹たる肉を受けず生腥の肉をこのむと
16 And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.
もし其人これにむかひ直ちに脂をやくべければ後心のこのむままに取れといはば僕之にいふ否今あたへよ然らずば我強て取んと
17 And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.
故に其壯者の罪ヱホバのまへに甚だ大なりそは人々ヱホバに祭物をささぐることをいとひたればなり
18 But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.
サムエルなほ幼して布のエポデを著てヱホバのまへにつかふ
19 And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.
また其母これがために小き明衣をつくり歳毎にその夫とともに年の祭物をささげにのぼる時これをもちきたる
20 And every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.
エリ、エルカナとその妻を祝していひけるは汝がヱホバにささげたる者のためにヱホバ此婦よりして子を汝にあたへたまはんことをねがふと斯てかれら其郷にかへる
21 And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.
しかしてヱホバ、ハンナをかへりみたまひければハンナ孕みて三人の男子と二人の女子をうめり童子サムエルはヱホバのまへにありて生育てり
22 Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.
ここにエリ甚だ老て其子等がイスラエルの人々になせし諸の事を聞きまた其集會の幕屋の門にいづる婦人たちと寝たるを聞て
23 And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.
これにいひけるは何ぞ斯る事をなすや我このすべての民より汝らのあしき行をきく
24 No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.
わが子よ然すべからず我きくところの風聞よからず爾らヱホバの民をしてあやまたしむ
25 If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.
人もし人にむかひて罪ををかさば神之をさばかんされど人もしヱホバに向ひて罪ををかさば誰かこれがためにとりなしをなさんやとしかれども其子父のことばを聽ざりきそはヱホバかれらを殺さんと思ひたまへばなり
26 And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.
童子サムエル生長ゆきてヱホバと人とに愛せらる
27 And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?
茲に神の人エリの許に來りこれにいひけるはヱホバ斯くいひたまふ爾の父祖の家エジプトにおいてパロの家にありしとき我明かに之にあらはれしにあらずや
28 Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?
我これをイスラエルの諸の支派のうちより選みてわが祭司となしわが壇の上に祭物をささげ香をたかしめ我前にエポデを衣しめまたイスラエルの人の火祭を悉く汝の父の家にあたへたり
29 Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?
なんぞわが命ぜし犠牲と禮物を汝の家にてふみつくるや何ぞ我よりもなんぢの子をたふとみわが民イスラエルの諸の祭物の最も嘉きところをもて己を肥すや
30 For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
是ゆゑにイスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまはく我誠に曾ていへり汝の家およびなんぢの父祖の家永くわがまへにあゆまんと然ども今ヱホバいひたまふ決めてしからず我をたふとむ者は我もこれをたふとむ我を賤しむる者はかろんぜらるべし
31 See, the days are coming when your arm and the arm of your father's people will be cut off;
視よ時いたらん我汝の腕と汝の父祖の家の腕を絶ち汝の家に老たるもの无らしめん
32 And never again will there be an old man in your family.
我大にイスラエルを善すべけれど汝の家内には災見えん汝の家にはこののち永く老るものなかるべし
33 But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.
またわが壇より絶ざる汝の族の者は汝の目をそこなひ汝の心をいたましめん又汝の家にうまれいづるものは壯年にして死なん
34 And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.
汝のふたりの子ホフニとピネスの遇ところの事を其徴とせよ即ち二人ともに同じ日に死なん
35 And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.
我はわがために忠信なる祭司をおこさん其人わが心とわが意にしたがひておこなはんわれその家をかたうせんかれわが膏そそぎし者のまへに恒にあゆむべし
36 Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.
しかして汝の家にのこれる者は皆きたりてこれに屈み一厘の金と一片のパンを乞ひ且いはんねがはくは我を祭司の職の一に任じて些少のパンにても食ふことをえせしめよと
