1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.
サムエル、イスラエルの人々にいひけるは視よ我汝らが我にいひし言をことごとく聽て汝らに王を立たり
2 And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day.
見よ今王汝らのまへにあゆむ我は老て髮しろし視よわが子ども汝らと共にあり我幼稚時より今日にいたるまで汝等のまへにあゆめり
3 Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.
視よ我ここにありヱホバのまへと其膏そそぎし者のまへに我を訴へよ我誰の牛を取りしや誰の驢馬をとりしや誰を掠めしや誰を虐遇しや誰の手より賄賂をとりてわが目を矇せしや有ば我これを汝らにかへさん
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.
彼らいひけるは汝は我らをかすめずくるしめず又何をも人の手より取りしことなし
5 And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] said, [He is] witness!
サムエルかれらにいひけるは汝らが我手のうちに何をも見いださざるをヱホバ汝らに證したまふ其膏そそぎし者も今日證す彼ら答へけるは證したまふ
6 And Samuel said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
サムエル民にいひけるはヱホバはモーセとアロンをたてし者汝らの先祖をエジプトの地より導きいだせしものなり
7 And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers.
立ちあがれヱホバが汝らおよび汝らの先祖になしたまひし諸の義しき行爲につきて我ヱホバのまへに汝らと論ぜん
8 When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
ヤコブのエジプトにいたるにおよびて汝らの先祖のヱホバに呼はりし時ヱホバ、モーセとアロンを遣はしたまひて此二人汝らの先祖をエジプトより導きいだして此處にすましめたり
9 And they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
しかるに彼ら其神ヱホバを忘れしかばヱホバこれをハゾルの軍の長シセラの手とペリシテ人の手およびモアブ王の手にわたしたまへり斯て彼らこれを攻ければ
10 And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
民ヱホバに呼はりていひけるは我らヱホバを棄てバアルとアシタロテに事へてヱホバに罪を犯したりされど今我らを敵の手より救ひいだしたまへ我ら汝につかへんと
11 And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.
是においてヱホバ、ヱルバアルとバラクとエフタとサムエルを遣はして汝らを四方の敵の手より救ひいだしたまひて汝ら安らかに住めり
12 But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.
しかるに汝らアンモンの子孫の王ナハシの汝らを攻んとて來るを見て汝らの神ヱホバ汝らの王なるに汝ら我にいふ否我らををさむる王なかるべからずと
13 And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.
今汝らが選みし王汝らがねがひし王を見よ視よヱホバ汝らに王をたてたまへり
14 If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.
汝らもしヱホバを畏みて之につかへ其言にしたがひてヱホバの命にそむかずまた汝らと汝らををさむる王恒に汝らの神ヱホバに從はば善し
15 But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.
しかれども汝らもしヱホバの言にしたがはずしてヱホバの命にそむかばヱホバの手汝らの先祖をせめしごとく汝らをせむべし
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.
汝ら今たちてヱホバが爾らの目のまへになしたまふ此大なる事を見よ
17 Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king.
今日は麥刈時にあらずや我ヱホバを呼んヱホバ雷と雨をくだして汝らが王をもとめてヱホバのまへに爲したる罪の大なるを見しらしめたまはん
18 And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.
かくてサムエル、ヱホバをよびければヱホバ其日雷と雨をくだしたまへり民みな大にヱホバとサムエルを恐る
19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.
民みなサムエルにいひけるは僕らのために汝の神ヱホバにいのりて我らを死なざらしめよ我ら諸の罪にまた王を求むるの惡をくはへたればなり
20 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;
サムエル民にいひけるは懼るなかれ汝らこの總ての惡をなしたりされどヱホバに從ふことを息ず心をつくしてヱホバに事へ
21 and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
虚しき物に迷ひゆくなかれ是は虚しき物なれば汝らを助くることも救ふことも得ざるなり
22 For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.
ヱホバ其大なる名のために此民をすてたまはざるべし其はヱホバ汝らをおのれの民となすことを善としたまへばなり
23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way.
また我は汝らのために祈ることをやめてヱホバに罪ををかすことは決てせざるべし且われ善き正しき道をもて汝らををしへん
24 Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.
汝ら只ヱホバをかしこみ心をつくして誠にこれにつかへよ而して如何に大なることをヱホバ汝らになしたまひしかを思ふ可し
25 But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
しかれども汝らもしなほ惡をなさば汝らと汝らの王ともにほろぼさるべし
