< Kings I 7 >
1 And the men of Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
キリアテヤリムの人來りヱホバのはこを携へのぼりこれを山のうへなるアビナダブの家にもちきたり其子エレアザルを聖てヱホバの櫃をまもらしむ
2 And it came to pass from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.
其櫃キリアテヤリムにとどまること久しくして二十年をへたりイスラエルの全家ヱホバをしたひて歎けり
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.
時にサムエル、イスラエルの全家に告ていひけるは汝らもし一心を以てヱホバにかへり異る神とアシタロテを汝らの中より棄て汝らの心をヱホバに定め之にのみ事へなばヱホバ汝らをペリシテ人の手より救ひださん
4 And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
ここにおいてイスラエルの人々バアルとアシタロテをすててヱホバにのみ事ふ
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.
サムエルいひけるはイスラエル人をことごとくミズパにあつめよ我汝らのためにヱホバにいのらん
6 And they were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.
かれらミズパに集り水を汲て之をヱホバのまへに注ぎ其日斷食して彼處にいひけるは我等ヱホバに罪ををかしたりとサムエル、ミズパに於てイスラエルの人を鞫く
7 And the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.
ペリシテ人イスラエルの人々のミズパに集れるを聞しかばペリシテ人の諸君主イスラエルにせめのぼれりイスラエル人これを聞てペリシテ人をおそれたり
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord your God for us, and he shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
イスラエルの人々サムエルに云けるは我らのために我らの神ヱホバに祈ることをやむるなかれ然らばヱホバ我らをペリシテ人の手よりすくひいださん
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it up as a whole burnt offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
サムエル哺乳羊をとり燔祭となしてこれをまつたくヱホバにささぐまたサムエル、イスラエルのためにヱホバにいのりければヱホバこれにこたへたまふ
10 And Samuel was offering the whole burnt offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.
サムエル燔祭をささげ居し時ペリシテ人イスラエル人と戰はんとて近づきぬ是日ヱホバ大なる雷をくだしペリシテ人をうちて之を亂し賜ければペリシテ人イスラエル人のまへに敗れたり
11 And the men of Israel went forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.
イスラエル人ミズパをいでてペリシテ人をおひ之をうちてベテカルの下にいたる
12 And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.
サムエル一の石をとりてミズパとセンの間におきヱホバ是まで我らを助けたまへりといひて其名をエベネゼル(助けの石)と呼ぶ
13 So the Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
ペリシテ人攻伏られて再びイスラエルの境にいらずサムエルの一生のあひだヱホバの手ペリシテ人をふせげり
14 And the cities which the Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
ペリシテ人のイスラエルより取たる邑々はエクロンよりガテまでイスラエルにかへりぬまた其周圍の地はイスラエル人これをペリシテ人の手よりとりかへせりまたイスラエル人とアモリ人と好をむすべり
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
サムエル一生のあひだイスラエルをさばき
16 And he went year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated places.
歳々ベテルとギルガルおよびミズパをめぐりて其處々にてイスラエル人をさばき
17 And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
またラマにかへれり此處に其家あり此にてイスラエルをさばき又此にてヱホバに壇をきづけり
