2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.
預言者の徒の妻の中なる一人の婦人エリシヤに呼はりていひけるは汝の僕なるわが夫死りなんぢの僕のヱホバを畏れしことはなんぢの知るところなり今債主きたりてわが二人の子をとりて奴僕となさんとすと
2 Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.
エリシヤ之にいひけるはわれなんぢの爲に何をなすべきや汝の家に如何なる物あるかわれに告よ彼いひけるは僅少の油のほかは汝の婢の家に有ものなし
3 Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.
彼いひけるは往て外より鄰の人々より器を借よ空たる器を借るべし少許を借るなかれ
4 Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.
而してなんぢ入て汝の子等とともに戸の内に閉こもりそのすべての器に油をつぎてその盈るところの者をとりのけおくべし
5 So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.
婦人すなはち彼を離れて去りその子等とともに戸の内に閉こもり子等のもちきたる器に油をつぎたりしが
6 And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.
器のみな盈たるときその子にむかひ尚われに器をもちきたれといひけるに器はもはやあらずといひたればその油すなはち止る
7 So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.
是においてその婦神の人にいたりてかくと告ければかれいふ往て油をうりてその負債をつくのひその餘分をもて汝と汝の子等生計をなすべしと
8 Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.
一日エリシヤ、シユネムにゆきしに其所に一人の大なる婦人ありてしきりにこれに食をすすめたれば彼かしこを過る毎にそこに入て食をなせり
9 And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.
茲にその婦人夫にいひけるは視よ此つねにわれらを過る人は我これを見るに神の聖き人なり
10 So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.
請ふ小き室を石垣の上につくりそこに臥床と案と榻と燭臺をかれのために備へん彼われらに至る時はそこに入るべしと
11 Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.
かくてのちある日エリシヤそこに至りその室に入てそこに臥たりしが
12 And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.
その僕ゲハジにむかひ彼のシユナミ人を召きたれといへり彼かの婦人を召たればその前にきたりて立つに
13 And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.
エリシヤ、ゲハジにいひけるは彼にかく言へ汝かく懇に我らのために意を用ふ汝のために何をなすべきや王または軍勢の長に汝のことを告られんことを望むかと彼答へてわれはわが民の中にをるなりといふ
14 So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.
エリシヤいひけるは然ばかれのために何をなすべきやゲハジ答へけるは誠にかれは子なくその夫は老たりと
15 Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.
是においてエリシヤかれを召といひければこれを呼に來りて戸口に立たれば
16 And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.
エリシヤいふ明る年の今頃汝子を抱くあらん彼いひけるはいなわが主神の人よなんぢの婢をあざむきたまふなかれと
17 Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.
かくて婦つひに孕て明る年にいたりてエリシヤのいへるその頃に子を生り
18 Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.
その子育ちてある日刈獲人の所にいでゆきてその父にいたりしが
19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.
父にわが首わが首といひたれば父少者に彼を母のもとに負ゆけと言り
20 And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.
すなはちこれを負て母にいたりしに午まで母の膝に坐り居て遂に死たれば
21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.
母のぼりゆきてこれを神の人の臥床の上に置きこれをとぢこめて出で
22 And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.
その夫をよびていひけるは請ふ一人の僕と一頭の驢馬を我につかはせ我神の人の許にはせゆきて歸らんと
23 And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.
夫いふ何故に汝は今日かれにいたらんとするや今日は朔日にもあらず安息日にもあらざるなり彼いひけるは宜しと
24 Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.
婦すなはち驢馬に鞍おきてその僕にいひけるは驅て進め吾が命ずることなくば我が騎すすむることに緩漫あらしめざれと
25 So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;
つひにカルメル山にゆきて神の人にいたるに／神の人遥にかれの來るを見て僕ゲハジにいひけるは視よかしこにかのシユナミ人をる
26 Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.
請ふ汝はしりゆきて彼をむかへて言へなんぢは平安なるやなんぢの夫はやすらかなるやなんぢの子はやすらかなるやと彼こたへて平安なりといひ
27 And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.
遂に山にきたりて神の人にいたりその足を抱きたればゲハジこれを逐ひはらはんとて近よりしに神の人いひけるは容しおけ彼は心の中に苦あるなりまたヱホバその事を我にかくしていまだわれに告たまはざるなり
28 Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?
婦いひけるはわれわが主に子を求めしやわれをあざむきたまふなかれとわれは言ざりしや
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.
エリシヤすなはちゲハジにいひけるはなんぢ腰をひきからげわが杖を手にもちて行け誰に逢も禮をなすべからず又なんぢに禮をなす者あるともそれに答ふることなかれわが杖をかの子の面の上におけよと
30 But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.
その子の母いひけるはヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は生く我は汝を離れじと是をもてエリシヤついに起て婦に從ひ行ぬ
31 And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.
ゲハジはかれらに先だちゆきて杖をかの子の面の上に置たるが聲もなく聞もせざりしかばかへりきたりてエリシヤに逢てこれに子いまだ目をさまさずと言ふ
32 And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.
エリシヤここにおいて家に入て視に子は死ておのれの臥床の上に臥てあれば
33 So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.
すなはち入り戸をとぢて二人内におりてヱホバに祈り
34 Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.
而してエリシヤ上りて子の上に伏し己が口をその口におのが目をその目に己が手をその手の上にあて身をもてその子を掩しに子の身體やうやく温まり來る
35 Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.
かくしてエリシヤかへり來て家の内に其處此處とあゆみをり又のぼりて身をもて子をおほひしに子七度嚏して目をひらきしかば
36 And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.
ゲハジを呼てかのシユナミ人をよべと言ければすなはちこれを呼り
37 And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.
彼入來りしかばエリシヤなんぢの子を取ゆけと言りかれすなはち入りてエリシヤの足下に伏し地に身をかがめて其子を取あげて出づ
38 And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.
斯てエリシヤまたギルガルにいたりしがその地に饑饉あり預言者の徒その前に坐しをる是において彼その僕にいひけるは大なる釜をすゑて預言者の徒のために羹を煮よと
39 And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.
時に一人田野にゆきて菜蔬を摘しが野籐のあるを見て其より野瓜を一風呂鋪摘きたりて羹の釜の中に截こみたり其は皆それをしらざればなり
40 Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.
斯てこれを盛て人々に食はせんとせしに彼等その羹を食はんとするにあたりて叫びて嗚呼神の人よ釜の中に死をきたらする者ありといひて得食はざりしかば
41 But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.
エリシヤさらば粉をもちきたれといひてこれを釜になげ入れ盛て人々に食しめよと言り釜の中にはすなはち害物あらずなりぬ
42 Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.
茲にバアルシヤリシヤより人來り初穂のパンと大麥のパン二十と圃の初物一袋とを神の人の許にもちいたりたればエリシヤ衆人にあたへて食はしめよと言ふに
43 But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.
その奴僕いひけるは如何にとや我これを百人の前にそなふべきかと然るに彼また言ふ衆人にあたへて食しめよ夫ヱホバかくいひたまふかれら食ふて尚あます所あらんと
44 So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
すなはち之をその前にそなへたればみな食ふてなほ餘せりヱホバの言のごとし
