< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], and they went down thither to him.
是故にダビデ其處をいでたちてアドラムの洞穴にのがる其兄弟および父の家みな聞きおよびて彼處にくだり彼の許に至る
2 And every one in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one of embittered spirit collected round him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.
また惱める人負債者心に嫌ぬ者皆かれの許にあつまりて彼其長となれりかれとともにある者はおよそ四百人なり
3 And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know what God will do for me.
ダビデ其處よりモアブのミヅパにいたりモアブの王にいひけるは神の我をいかがなしたまふかを知るまでねがはくはわが父母をして出て汝らとともにをらしめよと
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
遂にかれらをモアブの王のまへにつれきたるかれらはダビデが要害にをる間王とともにありき
5 And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
預言者ガデ、ダビデに云けるは要害に住るなかれゆきてユダの地にいたれとダビデゆきてハレテの叢林にいたる
6 And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him.
爰にサウル、ダビデおよびかれとともなる人々の見露されしを聞けり時にサウルはギベアにあり手に槍を執て岡巒の柳の樹の下にをり臣僕ども皆其傍にたてり
7 Then Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
サウル側にたてる僕にいひけるは汝らベニヤミン人聞けよヱサイの子汝らおのおのに田と葡萄園をあたへ汝らおのおのを千夫長百夫長となすことあらんや
8 that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made [a covenant] with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day?
汝ら皆我に敵して謀り一人もわが子のヱサイの子と契約を結びしを我につげしらする者なしまた汝ら一人もわがために憂へずわが子が今日のごとくわが僕をはげまして道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするを我につげしらす者なし
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
時にエドミ人ドエグ、サウルの僕の中にたち居りしが答へていひけるは我ヱサイの子のノブにゆきてアヒトブの子アヒメレクに至るを見しが
10 And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
アヒメレクかれのためにヱホバに問ひまたかれに食物をあたへペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍をあたへたりと
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.
王すなはち人をつかはしてアヒトブの子祭司アヒメレクなよびその父の家すなはちノブの祭司たる人々を召したればみな王の許にきたる
12 And Saul said, Hear now, son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
サウルいひけるは汝アヒトブの子聽よ答へけるは主よ我ここにあり
13 And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day?
サウルかれにいふ汝なんぞヱサイの子とともに我に敵して謀り汝かれにパンと劍をあたへ彼が爲に神に問ひかれをして今日のごとく道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするや
14 And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy house?
アヒメレク王にこたへていひけるは汝の臣僕のうち誰かダビデのごとく忠義なる彼は王の婿にして親しく汝に見ゆるもの汝の家に尊まるる者にあらずや
15 Was it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
我其時かれのために神に問ことを始めしや決てしからずねがはくは王僕およびわが父の全家に何をも歸するなかれ其は僕この事については多少をいはず何をもしらざればなり
16 And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
王いひけるはアヒメレク汝必ず死ぬべし汝の父の全家もしかりと
17 And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.
王旁にたてる前驅の人々にいひけるは身をひるがへしてヱホバの祭司を殺せかれらもダビデと力を合するが故またかれらダビデの逃たるをしりて我に告ざりし故なりと然ど王の僕手をいだしてヱホバの祭司を撃ことを好まざれば
18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.
王ドエグにいふ汝身をひるがへして祭司をころせとエドミ人ドエグ乃ち身をひるがへして祭司をうち其日布のエポデを衣たる者八十五人をころせり
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
かれまた刃を以て祭司の邑ノブを撃ち刃をもて男女童稚嬰孩牛驢馬羊を殺せり
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
アヒトブの子アヒメレクの一人の子アビヤタルとなづくる者逃れてダビデにはしり從がふ
21 And Abiathar informed David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
アビヤタル、サウルがヱホバの祭司を殺したることをダビデに告しかば
22 And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy father's house.
ダビデ、アビヤタルにいふかの日エドミ人ドエグ彼處にをりしかば我かれが必らずサウルにつげんことを知れり我汝の父の家の人々の生命を喪へる源由となれり
23 Abide with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; for with me thou art in safe keeping.
汝我とともに居れ懼るるなかれわが生命を求むる者汝の生命をも求むるなり汝我とともにあらば安全なるべし
