1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
茲にサムエル、サウルにいひけるはヱホバ我をつかはし汝に膏を沃ぎて其民イスラエルの王となさしめたりさればヱホバの言の聲をきけ
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I have considered what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ我アマレクがイスラエルになせし事すなはちエジプトよりのぼれる時其途を遮りしをかへりみる
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and destroy utterly all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
今ゆきてアマレクを撃ち其有る物をことごとく滅しつくし彼らを憐むなかれ男女童稚哺乳兒牛羊駱駝驢馬を皆殺せ
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
サウル民をよびあつめてこれをテライムに核ふ歩兵二十萬ユダの人一萬あり
5 And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley.
しかしてサウル、アマレクの邑にいたりて谷に兵を伏たり
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
サウル、ケニ人にいひけるは汝らゆきてさりアマレク人をはなれくだるべし恐らくはかれらとともに汝らをほろぼすにいたらんイスラエルの子孫のエジプトよりのぼれる時汝らこれに恩みをほどこしたりと即ちケニ人アマレク人をはなれてさりぬ
7 And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah as thou comest to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt.
サウル、アマレク人をうちてハビラよりエジプトの東面なるシユルにいたる
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
サウル、アマレク人の王アガグを生擒り刃をもて其民をことごとくほろぼせり
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and oxen, and beasts of the second bearing, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction; but everything that was mean and weak, that they destroyed utterly.
然ども、サウルと民アガグをゆるしまた羊と牛の最も嘉きもの及び肥たる物並に羔と凡て善き物を殘して之をほろぼしつくすをこのまず但惡き弱き物をほろぼしつくせり
10 And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying,
時にヱホバの言サムエルにのぞみていはく
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned away from following me, and hath not fulfilled my words. And Samuel was much grieved; and he cried to Jehovah all night.
我サウルを王となせしを悔ゆ其は彼背きて我にしたがはずわが命をおこなはざればなりとサムエル憂て終夜ヱホバによばはれり
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and has turned about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
かくてサムエル、サウルにあはんとて夙く起きけるにサムエルにつぐるものありていふサウル、カルメルにいたり勝利の表を立て轉り進みてギルガルにくだれりと
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah.
サムエル、サウルの許に至りければサウルこれにいひけるは汝がヱホバより福祉を得んことをねがふ我ヱホバの命を行へりと
14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?
サムエルいひけるは然らばわが耳にいる此羊の聲およびわがきく牛のこゑは何ぞや
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
サウルいひけるは人々これをアマレク人のところより引ききたれり其は民汝の神ヱホバにささげんために羊と牛の最も嘉きものをのこせばなり其ほかは我らほろぼしつくせり
16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, that I may tell thee what Jehovah has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
サムエル、サウルにいけるは止まれ昨夜ヱホバの我にかたりたまひしことを汝につげんサウルいひけるはいへ
17 And Samuel said, Was it not when thou wast little in thine eyes that thou [becamest] the head of the tribes of Israel, and Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel?
サムエルいひけるはさきに汝が微き者とみづから憶へる時に爾イスラエルの支派の長となりしに非ずや即ちヱホバ汝に膏を注いでイスラエルの王となせり
18 And Jehovah sent thee on a way and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
ヱホバ汝を途に遣はしていひたまはく往て惡人なるアマレク人をほろぼし其盡るまで戰へよと
19 Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, but didst fall upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Jehovah?
何故に汝ヱホバの言をきかずして敵の所有物にはせかかりヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしや
20 And Saul said to Samuel, I have indeed hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
サウル、サムエルにひけるは我誠にヱホバの言にしたがひてヱホバのつかはしたまふ途にゆきアマレクの王アガグを執きたりアマレクをほろぼしつくせり
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.
ただ民其ほろぼしつくすべき物の最初としてギルガルにて汝の神ヱホバにささげんとて敵の物の中より羊と牛をとれり
22 And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams.
サムエルいひけるはヱホバはその言にしたがふ事を善したまふごとく燔祭と犠牲を善したまふや夫れ順ふ事は犠牲にまさり聽く事は牡羔の脂にまさるなり
23 For rebellion is [as] the sin of divination, And selfwill is [as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
其は違逆は魔術の罪のごとく抗戻は虚しき物につかふる如く偶像につかふるがごとし汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバもまた汝をすてて王たらざらしめたまふ
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words; for I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.
サウル、サムエルにいひけるに我ヱホバの命と汝の言をやぶりて罪ををかしたり是は民をおそれて其言にしたがひたるによりてなり
25 And now, I pray thee, forgive my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
されば今ねがはくはわがつみをゆるし我とともにかへりて我をしてヱホバを拝することをえさしめよ
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn again with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected thee from being king over Israel.
サムエル、サウルにいひけるは我汝とともにかへらじ汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバ汝をすててイスラエルに王たらしめたまはざればなり
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
サムエル去らんとて振還しときサウルその明衣の裾を捉へしかば裂たり
28 Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou.
サムエルかれにいひけるは今日ヱホバ、イスラエルの國を裂て汝よりはなし汝の隣なる汝より善きものにこれをあたへたまふ
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
またイスラエルの能力たる者は謊らず悔ず其はかれは人にあらざればくゆることなし
30 And he said, I have sinned; honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.
サウルいひけるは我罪ををかしたれどねがはくはわが民の長老のまへおよびイスラエルのまへにて我をたふとみて我とともにかへり我をして汝の神ヱホバを拝むことをえさしめよ
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
ここにおいてサムエル、サウルにしたがひてかへるしかしてサウル、ヱホバを拝む
32 And Samuel said, Bring ye near to me Agag the king of Amalek. And Agag came to him gaily. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
時にサムエルいひけるは汝らわが許にアマレクの王アガグをひききたれとアガグ喜ばしげにサムエルの許にきたりアガグいひけるは死の苦みは必ず過さりぬ
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless above women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
サムエルいひけるに汝の劍はおほくの婦人を子なき者となせりかくのごとく汝の母は婦人の中の最も子なき者となるべしとサムエル、ギルガルにてヱホバのまへにおいてアガグを斬り
34 And Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
かくてサムエルはラマにゆきサウルはサウルのギベアにのぼりてその家にいたる
35 And Samuel saw Saul no more until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned over Saul; and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
サムエル其しぬる日までふたたびきたりてサウルをみざりきしかれどもサムエル、サウルのためにかなしめりまたヱホバはサウルをイスラエルの王となせしを悔たまへり
