< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?
ダビデ、ノブにゆきて祭司アヒメレクにいたるアヒメレク懼れてダビデを迎へこれにいひけるは汝なんぞ獨にして誰も汝とともならざるや
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.
ダビデ祭司アヒメレクにいふ王我に一の事を命じて我にいふ我が汝を遣はすところの事およびわが汝に命じたる所については何をも人にしらするなかれと我某處に我少者を出おけり
3 So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.
いま何か汝の手にあるや我手に五のパンか或はなににてもある所を與よ
4 And the priest, answering David, said, I have no common bread here but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
祭司ダビデに對ていひけるは常のパンはわが手になしされど若し少者婦女をだに愼みてありしならば聖きパンあるなりと
5 And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.
ダビデ祭司に對へていひけるは實にわがいでしより此三日は婦女われらにちかづかず且少者等の器は潔し又パンは常の物のごとし今日器に潔きパンあれば殊に然と
6 So the priest gave him the holy bread: there was no other, only the holy bread which had been taken from before the Lord, so that new bread might be put in its place on the day when it was taken away.
祭司かれに聖きパンを與たり其はかしこに供前のパンの外はパン无りければなり即ち其パンは下る日に熱きパンをささげんとて之をヱホバのまへより取されるなり
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.
其日かしこにサウルの僕一人留められてヱホバのまへにあり其名をドエグといふエドミ人にしてサウルの牧者の長なり
8 And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.
ダビデまたアヒメレクにいふ此に汝の手に槍か劍あらぬか王の事急なるによりて我は刀も武器も携へざりしと
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.
祭司いひけるは汝がエラの谷にて殺したるペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍布に裏みてエポデの後にあり汝もし之をとらんとおもはば取れ此にはほかの劍なしダビデいひけるはそれにまさるものなし我にあたへよと
10 Then David got up and went in flight that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish, the king of Gath.
ダビデ其日サウルをおそれて立てガテの王アキシのところに逃げゆきぬ
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? did they not make songs about him in their dances, saying, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?
アキシの臣僕アキシに曰けるは此は其地の王ダビデにあらずや人々舞踏のうちにこの人のことを歌ひあひて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しにあらずや
12 And David took these words to heart, fearing Achish, the king of Gath.
ダビデこの言を心に蔵め深くガテの王アキシをおそれ
13 So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.
人々のまへに佯て其氣を變じ執はれて狂人のさまをなし門の扉に書き其涎沫を鬚にながれくだらしむ
14 Then Achish said to his servants, Look! the man is clearly off his head; why have you let him come before me?
アキシ僕に云けるは汝らの見るごとく此人は狂人なり何ぞかれを我にひき來るや
15 Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?
我なんぞ狂人を須ひんや汝ら此者を引きたりてわがまへに狂しめんとするや此者なんぞ吾が家にいるべけんや
