< 1 Samuel 28 >
1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
其頃ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰はんとて軍のために軍勢を集めたればアキシ、ダビデにいひけるは爾明かにこれをしれ爾と爾の從者我とともに出て軍にくははるべし
2 And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
ダビデ、アキシにいひけるはされば爾僕のなさんところをしるべしとアキシ、ダビデにさらば我爾を永く我身をまもる者となさんといへり
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
サムエルすでに死たればイスラエルみなこれをかなしみてこれをそのまちラマにはうむれりまたサウルは口寄者と卜筮師を其地よりおひいだせり
4 And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
ペリシテ人あつまりきたりてシユネムに陣をとりければサウル、イスラエルを悉くあつめてギルボアに陣をとれり
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
サウル、ペリシテ人の軍を見しときおそれて其心大にふるへたり
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
サウル、ヱホバに問ひけるにヱホバ對たまはず夢に因てもウリムによりても預言者によりてもこたへたまはず
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
サウル僕等にいひけるは口寄の婦を求めよわれそのところにゆきてこれに尋ねんと僕等かれにいひけるは視よエンドルに口寄の婦あり
8 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
サウル形を變へて他の衣服を著二人の人をともなひてゆき彼等夜の間に其婦の所にいたるサウルいひけるは請ふわがために口寄の術をおこなひてわが爾に言ふ人をわれに呼おこせ
9 And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
婦かれにいひけるはなんぢサウルのなしたる事すなはち如何にかれが口寄者と卜筮師を國より斷さりたるを知る爾なんぞ我を死しめんとてわが生命を亡す謀計をなすや
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
サウル、ヱホバを指てかれに誓ひいひけるはヱホバは生く此事のためになんぢ罪にあふことあらじ
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
婦いひけるは誰を我なんぢに呼起すべきかサウルいふサムエルをよびおこせ
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
婦サムエルを見て大なる聲にてさけびいだせりしかして婦サウルにいひけるは爾なにゆゑに我を欺きしや爾はすなはちサウルなり
13 And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
王かれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ爾なにを見しや婦サウルにいひけるは我神の地よりのぼるを見たり
14 And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
サウルかれにいひけるは其形容は如何彼いひけるは一人の老翁のぼる其人明衣を衣たりサウル其人のサムエルなるをしりて地にふして拝せり
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
サムエル、サウルにいひけるは爾なんぞ我をよびおこして我をわづらはすやサウルこたへけるは我いたく惱むペリシテ人我にむかひて軍をおこし又神我をはなれて預言者によりても又夢によりてもふたたび我にこたへたまはずこのゆゑに我なすべき事を爾にまなばんとて爾を呼り
16 And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
サムエルいひけるはヱホバ爾をはなれて爾の敵となりたまふに爾なんぞ我にとふや
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
ヱホバわれをもて語りたまひしことをみづから行ひてヱホバ國を爾の手より割きはなち爾の隣人ダビデにあたへたまふ
18 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
爾ヱホバの言にしたがはず其烈しき怒をアマレクにもらさざりしによりてヱホバ此事を今日爾になしたまふ
19 And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
ヱホバ、イスラエルをも爾とともにペリシテ人の手にわたしたまふべし明日爾と爾の子等我とともなるべしまたイスラエルの陣營をもヱホバ、ペリシテ人の手にわたしたまはんと
20 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
サウル直ちに地に伸びたふれサムエルの言のために痛くおそれ又其力を失へり其はかれ其一日一夜物食ざりければなり
21 And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
かの婦サウルにいたり其痛く慄くを見てこれにいひけるは視よ仕女爾の言をききわが生命をかけて爾が我にいひし言にしたがへり
22 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
されば請ふ爾も仕女の言を聽て我をして一口のパンを爾のまへにそなへしめよしかして爾くらひて途に就く時に力を得よ
23 But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
されどサウル否みて我は食はじといひしを其僕および婦強ければ其言をききいれて地より立あがり床のうへに坐せり
24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
婦の家に肥たる犢ありしかば急ぎて之を殺しまた粉をとり摶て酵いれぬパンを炊き
25 And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
サウルのまへと其僕等のまへに持ちきたりければ彼等くらひて立ちあがり其夜のうちにされり
