1 Samuel 6
1 And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
ヱホバの櫃七月のあひだペリシテ人の國にあり
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? tell us wherewith we shall send it to its place.
ペリシテ人祭司と卜筮師をよびていひけるは我らヱホバの櫃をいかがせんや如何にして之をもとの所にかへすべきか我らにつげよ
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; ye must at any rate return him a trespass-offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
答へけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をかへすときはこれを空しくかへすなかれ必らず彼に過祭をなすべし然なさば汝ら愈ことをえ且彼の手の汝らをはなれざる故を知にいたらん
4 Then they said, What is the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice, the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague is upon them all, and upon your lords.
人々いひけるは如何なる過祭を彼になすべきや答へけるはペリシテ人の諸君主の數にしたがひて五の金の腫物と五の金の鼠をつくれ是は汝ら皆と汝らの諸伯におよべる災は一なるによる
5 And ye shall make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that destroy the land, and give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
汝らの腫物の像および地をあらす鼠の像をつくりイスラエルの神に榮光を皈すべし庶幾はその手を汝等およびなんぢらの神と汝等の地にくはふることを軽くせん
6 And why will ye harden your heart, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? When he had wrought mightily among them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
汝らなんぞエジプト人とパロの其心を頑にせしごとくおのれの心をかたくなにするや神かれらの中に數度其力をしめせしのち彼ら民をゆかしめ民つひにさりしにあらずや
7 And now make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there has come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
されば今あたらしき車一輛をつくり乳牛のいまだ軛をつけざるもの二頭をとり其牛を車に繋ぎ其犢をはなして家につれゆき
8 and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart, and the golden jewels, which ye return him as a trespass-offering, put in the coffer by the side thereof; and send it away that it may go.
ヱホバの櫃をとりて之を其車に載せ汝らが過祭として彼になす金の製作物を檟にをさめて其傍におき之をおくりて去らしめ
9 And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance [that] happened to us.
しかして見よ若し其境のみちよりベテシメシにのぼらばこの大なる災を我らになせるものは彼なり若ししかせずば我等をうちしは彼の手にあらずしてそのことの偶然なりしをしるべし
10 And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
人々つひに斯なし二つの乳牛をとりて之を車につなぎその犢を室にとぢこめ
11 And they laid the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the golden mice and the images of their sores.
ヱホバの櫃および金の鼠と其腫物の像ををさめたる檟を車に載す
12 And the kine went straight forward on the way to Beth-shemesh; they went by the one high way, lowing as they went; and they turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
牝牛直にあゆみてベテシメシの路をゆき鳴つつ大路をすすみゆきて右左にまがらずペリシテ人の君主ベテシメシの境まで其うしろにしたがひゆけり
13 And [they of] Beth-shemesh were reaping the wheat-harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
時にベテシメシ人谷に麥を刈り居たりしが目をあげて其櫃をみ之を見るをよろこべり
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite, and stood there; and a great stone was there. And they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine as a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
車ベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にいりて其處にとどまる此に大なる石あり人々車の木を劈り其牝牛を燔祭としてヱホバにささげたり
15 And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, in which were the golden jewels, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered up burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jehovah.
レビの人ヱホバの櫃とこれとともなる檟の金の製作物ををさめたる者をとりおろし之を其大石のうへにおくしかしてベテシメシ人此日ヱホバに燔祭をそなへ犠牲をささげたり
16 And the five lords of the Philistines saw [it], and returned to Ekron the same day.
ペリシテ人の五人の君主これを見て同じ日にエクロンにかへれり
17 And these are the golden sores which the Philistines returned as a trespass-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gazah one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
さてペリシテ人が過祭としてヱホバにたせし金の腫物はこれなり即ちアシドドのために一ガザのために一アシケロンのために一ガテのために一エクロンのために一なりき
18 and the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and villages of the peasantry; [and they brought them] as far as the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah, [which] is to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemeshite.
また金の鼠は城邑と郷里をいはず凡て五人の君主に屬するペリシテ人の邑の數にしたがひて造れりヱホバの櫃をおろせし大石今日にいたるまでベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にあり
19 And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
ベテシメシの人々ヱホバの櫃をうかがひしによりヱホバこれをうちたまふ即ち民の中七十人をうてりヱホバ民をうちて大にこれをころしたまひしかば民なきさけべり
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
ベテシメシ人いひけるは誰かこの聖き神たるヱホバのまへに立つことをえんヱホバ我らをはなれて何人のところにのぼりゆきたまふべきや
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of Jehovah; come down, fetch it up to you.
かくて使者をキリアテヤリムの人に遣はしていひけるはペリシテ人ヱホバの櫃をかへしたれば汝らくだりて之を汝らの所に携へのぼるべし
