Kings I 24
1 And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi.
サウル、ペリシテ人を追ふことをやめて還りし時人々かれにつげていひけるは視よダビデはエンゲデの野にありと
2 And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem.
サウル、イスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人を率ゐゆきて野羊の巌にダビデと其從者を尋ぬ
3 And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.
途にて羊の棧にいたるに其處に洞穴ありサウル其足を掩んとていりぬ時にダビデと其從者洞の隅に居たり
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to you, that he would deliver your enemy into your hands; and you shall do to him as [it is] good in your sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.
ダビデの從者これにいひけるはヱホバが汝に告て視よ我汝の敵を汝の手にわたし汝をして善と見るところを彼になさしめんといひたまひし日は今なりとダビデすなはち起てひそかにサウルの衣の裾をきれり
5 And it came to pass after this that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.
ダビデ、サウルの衣の裾をきりしによりて後ち其心みづから責む
6 And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.
ダビデ其從者にいひけるはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なるわが主にわが此事をなすをヱホバ禁じたまふかれはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればかれに敵してわが手をのぶるは善らず
7 So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and kill Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
ダビデ此ことばをもって其從者を止めサウルに撃ちかかる事を容さずサウルたちて洞を出て其道にゆく
8 And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him.
ダビデもまた後よりたちて洞をいでサウルのうしろに呼はりて我主王よといふサウル後をかへりみる時ダビデ地にふして拝す
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you listen to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks your life?
ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは汝なんぞダビデ汝を害せん事を求むといふ人の言を聽くや
10 Behold, your eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered you this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not kill you, but spared you, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.
視よ今日汝の目ヱホバの汝を洞のうちにて今日わが手にわたしたまひしことを見たり人々我に汝をころさんことを勸めたれども我汝を惜めり我いひけらくわが主はヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればこれに敵してわが手をのぶべからずと
11 And behold, the skirt of your mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you: know then and see today, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against you, yet you lay snares for my soul to take it.
わが父よ視よわが手にある汝の衣の裾を見よわが汝の衣の裾をきりて汝を殺さざるを見ばわが手には惡も罪過もなきことを汝見て知るべし我汝に罪ををかせしことなし然るに汝わが生命をとらんとねらふ
12 The Lord judge between me and you, and the Lord requite you on yourself: but my hand shall not be upon you.
ヱホバ我と汝の間を審きたまはんヱホバわがために汝に報いたまふべし然どわが手は汝に加へざるべし
13 As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon you.
古への諺にいふごとく惡は惡人よりいづされどわが手は汝にくはへざるべし
14 And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?
イスラエルの王は誰を趕んとて出たるや汝たれを追ふや死たる犬をおひ一の蚤をおふなり
15 The Lord be judge and umpire between me and you, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of your hand.
ねがはくはヱホバ審判者となりて我と汝のあひだをさばきかつ見てわが訟を理し我を汝の手よりすくひいだしたまはんことを
16 And it came to pass when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this your voice, Son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
ダビデこれらの言をサウルに語りをへしときサウルいひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は汝の聲なるかとサウル聲をあげて哭きぬ
17 And Saul said to David, You [are] more righteous that I, for you have recompensed me good, but I have recompensed you evil.
しかしてダビデにいひけるは汝は我よりも正し我は汝に惡をむくゆるに汝は我に善をむくゆ
18 And you have told me today what good you have done me, how the Lord shut me up into your hands today, and you did not kill me.
汝今日いかに汝が我に善くなすかを明かにせりヱホバ我を爾の手にわたしたまひしに爾我をころさざりしなり
19 And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as you has done this day.
人もし其敵にあはばこれを安らかに去しむべけんや爾が今日我になしたる事のためにヱホバ爾に善をむくいたまふべし
20 And now, behold, I know that you shall surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
視よ我爾が必ず王とならんことを知りまたイスラエルの王國の爾の手によりて堅くたたんことをしる
21 Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father.
今爾ヱホバをさして我にわが後にてわが子孫を斷ずわが名をわが父の家に滅せざらんことを誓へと
22 So David swore to Saul: and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold of Messera.
ダビデすなはちサウルにちかふ是においてサウルは家にかへりダビデと其從者は要害にのぼれり
