Kings I 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
爰にサムエル死にしかばイスラエル人皆あつまりて之をかなしみラマにあるその家にてこれを葬むれりダビデたちてバランの野にくだる
2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
マオンに一箇の人あり其所有はカルメルにあり其人甚だ大なる者にして三千の羊と一千の山羊をもちしがカルメルにて羊の毛を剪り居たり
3 And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
其人の名はナバルといひ其妻の名はアビガルといふアビガルは賢く顔美き婦なりされど其夫は剛愎にして其爲すところ惡かりきかれはカレブの人なり
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
ダビデ野にありてナバルが其羊の毛を剪りをるを聞き
5 And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
ダビデ十人の少者を遣はすダビデ其少者にいひけるはカルメルにのぼりナバルにいたりわが名をもてかれに安否をとひ
6 And thus shall ye say, May thou and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity.
かくのごとくいへ願くは壽ながかれ爾平安なれ爾の家やすらかなれ爾が有ところの物みなやすらかなれ
7 And now, behold, I have heard that thy shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing thy sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
我爾が羊毛を剪せをるを聞り爾の牧羊者は我らとともにありしが我らこれを害せざりきまたかれらがカルメルにありしあひだかれらの物何も失たることなし
8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Let then thy servants find grace in thine eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray thee, whatsoever thy hand may find, to thy son David.
爾の少者に問へかれら爾につげん願くは少者をして爾のまへに恩をえせしめよ我ら吉日に來る請ふ爾の手にあるところの物を爾の僕らおよび爾の子ダビデにあたへよ
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
ダビデの少者いたりダビデの名をもって是らのことばの如くナバルに語りてやめり
10 And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
ナバル、ダビデの僕にこたへていひけるはダビデは誰なるヱサイの子は誰なる此頃は主人をすてて遁逃るる僕おほし
11 And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
我あにわがパンと水およびわが羊毛をきる者のために殺したる肉をとりて何處よりか知れざるところの人々にあたふべけんや
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
ダビデの少者ふりかへりて其道に就き歸りきたりて此等の言のごとくダビデに告ぐ
13 And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
是においてダビデ其從者に爾らおのおの劍を帶よと言ければ各劍をおぶダビデもまた劍をおぶ而して四百人ばかりダビデにしたがひて上り二百人は輜重のところに止れり
14 And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
時にひとりの少者ナバルの妻アビガルに告ていひけるは視よダビデ野より使者をおくりて我らの主人を祝したるに主人かれらを詈れり
15 And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
されどかの人々はわれらに甚だ善くなし我らは害をかうむらず亦われら野にありし時かれらとともにをるあひだはなにをも失なはざりき
16 And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
我らが羊をかひて彼らとともにありしあひだ彼らは日夜われらの墻となれり
17 And now do thou consider, and see what thou wilt do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one cannot speak to him.
されば爾今しりてなにをなさんかを考ふべし其はわれらの主人および主人の全家に定めて害きたるべければなり主人は邪魔なる者にして語ることをえずと
18 And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
アビガルいそぎパン二百酒の革嚢二旣に調へたる羊五烘麥五セア乾葡萄百球乾無花果の團塊二百を取て驢馬にのせ
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
其少者にいひけるは我先に進め視よ我爾らの後にゆくと然ど其夫ナバルには告げざりき
20 And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
アビガル驢馬にのりて山の僻處にくだれる時視よダビデと其從者かれにむかひてくだりければかれ其人々にあふ
21 And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
ダビデかつていひけるは誠にわれ徒に此人の野にて有る物をみなまもりてその物をして何もうせざらしめたりかれは惡をもてわが善にむくゆ
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
ねがはくは神ダビデの敵にかくなしまた重ねてかくなしたまへ明晨までに我はナバルに屬する總ての物の中ひとりの男をものこさざるべし
23 And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
アビガル、ダビデを視しとき急ぎ驢馬よりおりダビデのまへに地に俯して拝し
24 [even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray thee, thy servant speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy servant.
其足もとにふしていひけるはわが主よ此咎を我に歸したまへ但し婢をして爾の耳にいふことを得さしめ婢のことばを聽たまへ
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom thou didst send.
ねがはくは我主この邪なる人ナバル(愚)の事を意に介むなかれ其はかれは其名の如くなればなりかれの名はナバルにしてかれは愚なりわれなんぢの婢はわが主のつかはせし少ものを見ざりき
26 And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and thy soul lives, as the Lord has kept thee from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for thyself, now therefore let thine enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
さればわがしゆよヱホバはいくまたなんぢのたましひはいくヱホバなんぢのきたりて血をながしまた爾がみづから仇をむくゆるを阻めたまへりねがはくは爾の敵たるものおよびわが主に害をくはへんとする者はナバルのごとくなれ
27 And now accept this token of goodwill, which thy servant has brought to my lord, and thou shalt give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
さて仕女がわが主にもちきたりしこの禮物をねがはくはわが主の足迹にあゆむ少者にたてまつらしめたまへ
28 Remove, I pray thee, the trespass of thy servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in thee.
請ふ婢の過をゆるしたまへヱホバ必ずわが主のために堅き家を立たまはん是はわが主ヱホバの軍に戰ふにより又世にいでてよりこのかた爾の身に惡きこと見えざるによりてなり
29 And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting thee and seeking thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and thou shalt whirl the life of thine enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
人たちて爾を追ひ爾の生命を求むれどもわが主の生命は爾の神ヱホバとともに生命の包裏の中に包みあり爾の敵の生命は投石器のうちより投すつる如くヱホバこれをなげすてたまはん
30 And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee to be ruler over Israel;
ヱホバその爾につきて語りたまひし諸の善き事をわが主になして爾をイスラエルの主宰に命じたまはん時にいたりて
31 then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and thou shalt remember thine handmaid to do her good.
爾の故なくして血をながしたることも又わが主のみづから其仇をむくいし事も爾の憂となることなくまたわが主の心の責となることなかるべし但しヱホバのわが主に善くなしたまふ時にいたらばねがはくは婢を憶たまへ
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this very day to meet me:
ダビデ、アビガルにいふ今日汝をつかはして我をむかへしめたまふイスラエルの神ヱホバは頌美べきかな
33 and blessed [be] thy conduct, and blessed [be] thou, who hast hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
また汝の智慧はほむべきかな又汝はほむべきかな汝今日わがきたりて血をながし自ら仇をむくゆるを止めたり
34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing thee harm, if thou hadst not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
わが汝を害するを阻めたまひしイスラエルの神ヱホバは生く誠にもし汝いそぎて我を來り迎ずば必ず翌朝までにナバルの所にひとりの男ものこらざりしならんと
35 And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accepted thy petition.
ダビデ、アビガルの携へきたりし物を其手より受てかれにいひけるは安かに汝の家にかへりのぼれ視よわれ汝の言をききいれて汝の顔を立たり
36 And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
かくてアビガル、ナバルにいたりて視にかれは家に酒宴を設け居たり王の酒宴のごとしナバルの心これがために樂みて甚だしく酔たればアビガル多少をいはず何をも翌朝までかれにつげざりき
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
朝にいたりナバルの酒のさめたる時妻かれに是等の事をつげたるに彼の心そのうちに死て其身石のごとくなりぬ
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord smote Nabal, and he died.
十日ばかりありてヱホバ、ナバルを撃ちたまひければ死り
39 And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
ダビデ、ナバルの死たるを聞ていひけるはヱホバは頌美べきかなヱホバわが蒙むりたる恥辱の訟を理してナバルにむくい僕を阻めて惡をおこなはざらしめたまふ其はヱホバ、ナバルの惡を其首に歸し賜へばなりと爰にダビデ、アビガルを妻にめとらんとて人を遣はしてこれとかたらはしむ
40 So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
ダビデの僕カルメルにをるアビガルの許にいたりてこれにかたりいひけるはダビデ汝を妻にめとらんとて我らを汝に遣はすと
41 And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of thy servants.
アビガルたちて地にふして拝しいひけるは視よ婢はわが主の僕等の足を洗ふ仕女なりと
42 And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
アビガルいそぎたちて驢馬に乗り五人の侍女とともにダビデの使者にしたがひゆきてダビデの妻となる
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
ダビデまたヱズレルのアヒノアムを娶れり彼ら二人ダビデの妻となる
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
但しサウルはダビデの妻なりし其女ミカルをガリムの人なるライシの子パルテにあたへたり
