2 Kings 4
1 And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah; and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen.
預言者の徒の妻の中なる一人の婦人エリシヤに呼はりていひけるは汝の僕なるわが夫死りなんぢの僕のヱホバを畏れしことはなんぢの知るところなり今債主きたりてわが二人の子をとりて奴僕となさんとすと
2 And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil.
エリシヤ之にいひけるはわれなんぢの爲に何をなすべきや汝の家に如何なる物あるかわれに告よ彼いひけるは僅少の油のほかは汝の婢の家に有ものなし
3 And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; let it not be few;
彼いひけるは往て外より鄰の人々より器を借よ空たる器を借るべし少許を借るなかれ
4 and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full.
而してなんぢ入て汝の子等とともに戸の内に閉こもりそのすべての器に油をつぎてその盈るところの者をとりのけおくべし
5 And she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons: they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.
婦人すなはち彼を離れて去りその子等とともに戸の内に閉こもり子等のもちきたる器に油をつぎたりしが
6 And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
器のみな盈たるときその子にむかひ尚われに器をもちきたれといひけるに器はもはやあらずといひたればその油すなはち止る
7 And she came and told the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou [and] thy sons on the rest.
是においてその婦神の人にいたりてかくと告ければかれいふ往て油をうりてその負債をつくのひその餘分をもて汝と汝の子等生計をなすべしと
8 And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
一日エリシヤ、シユネムにゆきしに其所に一人の大なる婦人ありてしきりにこれに食をすすめたれば彼かしこを過る毎にそこに入て食をなせり
9 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.
茲にその婦人夫にいひけるは視よ此つねにわれらを過る人は我これを見るに神の聖き人なり
10 Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.
請ふ小き室を石垣の上につくりそこに臥床と案と榻と燭臺をかれのために備へん彼われらに至る時はそこに入るべしと
11 And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there.
かくてのちある日エリシヤそこに至りその室に入てそこに臥たりしが
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.
その僕ゲハジにむかひ彼のシユナミ人を召きたれといへり彼かの婦人を召たればその前にきたりて立つに
13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.
エリシヤ、ゲハジにいひけるは彼にかく言へ汝かく懇に我らのために意を用ふ汝のために何をなすべきや王または軍勢の長に汝のことを告られんことを望むかと彼答へてわれはわが民の中にをるなりといふ
14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi said, Verily, she has no son, and her husband is old.
エリシヤいひけるは然ばかれのために何をなすべきやゲハジ答へけるは誠にかれは子なくその夫は老たりと
15 And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway.
是においてエリシヤかれを召といひければこれを呼に來りて戸口に立たれば
16 And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
エリシヤいふ明る年の今頃汝子を抱くあらん彼いひけるはいなわが主神の人よなんぢの婢をあざむきたまふなかれと
17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.
かくて婦つひに孕て明る年にいたりてエリシヤのいへるその頃に子を生り
18 And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
その子育ちてある日刈獲人の所にいでゆきてその父にいたりしが
19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother.
父にわが首わが首といひたれば父少者に彼を母のもとに負ゆけと言り
20 And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.
すなはちこれを負て母にいたりしに午まで母の膝に坐り居て遂に死たれば
21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.
母のぼりゆきてこれを神の人の臥床の上に置きこれをとぢこめて出で
22 And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will run to the man of God, and come again.
その夫をよびていひけるは請ふ一人の僕と一頭の驢馬を我につかはせ我神の人の許にはせゆきて歸らんと
23 And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
夫いふ何故に汝は今日かれにいたらんとするや今日は朔日にもあらず安息日にもあらざるなり彼いひけるは宜しと
24 Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee.
婦すなはち驢馬に鞍おきてその僕にいひけるは驅て進め吾が命ずることなくば我が騎すすむることに緩漫あらしめざれと
25 And she went and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:
つひにカルメル山にゆきて神の人にいたるに／神の人遥にかれの來るを見て僕ゲハジにいひけるは視よかしこにかのシユナミ人をる
26 run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, It is well.
請ふ汝はしりゆきて彼をむかへて言へなんぢは平安なるやなんぢの夫はやすらかなるやなんぢの子はやすらかなるやと彼こたへて平安なりといひ
27 And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.
遂に山にきたりて神の人にいたりその足を抱きたればゲハジこれを逐ひはらはんとて近よりしに神の人いひけるは容しおけ彼は心の中に苦あるなりまたヱホバその事を我にかくしていまだわれに告たまはざるなり
28 And she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
婦いひけるはわれわが主に子を求めしやわれをあざむきたまふなかれとわれは言ざりしや
29 And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.
エリシヤすなはちゲハジにいひけるはなんぢ腰をひきからげわが杖を手にもちて行け誰に逢も禮をなすべからず又なんぢに禮をなす者あるともそれに答ふることなかれわが杖をかの子の面の上におけよと
30 And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.
その子の母いひけるはヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は生く我は汝を離れじと是をもてエリシヤついに起て婦に從ひ行ぬ
31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.
ゲハジはかれらに先だちゆきて杖をかの子の面の上に置たるが聲もなく聞もせざりしかばかへりきたりてエリシヤに逢てこれに子いまだ目をさまさずと言ふ
32 And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.
エリシヤここにおいて家に入て視に子は死ておのれの臥床の上に臥てあれば
33 And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.
すなはち入り戸をとぢて二人内におりてヱホバに祈り
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
而してエリシヤ上りて子の上に伏し己が口をその口におのが目をその目に己が手をその手の上にあて身をもてその子を掩しに子の身體やうやく温まり來る
35 And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.
かくしてエリシヤかへり來て家の内に其處此處とあゆみをり又のぼりて身をもて子をおほひしに子七度嚏して目をひらきしかば
36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.
ゲハジを呼てかのシユナミ人をよべと言ければすなはちこれを呼り
37 And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
彼入來りしかばエリシヤなんぢの子を取ゆけと言りかれすなはち入りてエリシヤの足下に伏し地に身をかがめて其子を取あげて出づ
38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
斯てエリシヤまたギルガルにいたりしがその地に饑饉あり預言者の徒その前に坐しをる是において彼その僕にいひけるは大なる釜をすゑて預言者の徒のために羹を煮よと
39 Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them.
時に一人田野にゆきて菜蔬を摘しが野籐のあるを見て其より野瓜を一風呂鋪摘きたりて羹の釜の中に截こみたり其は皆それをしらざればなり
40 And they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out and said, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat [it].
斯てこれを盛て人々に食はせんとせしに彼等その羹を食はんとするにあたりて叫びて嗚呼神の人よ釜の中に死をきたらする者ありといひて得食はざりしかば
41 And he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
エリシヤさらば粉をもちきたれといひてこれを釜になげ入れ盛て人々に食しめよと言り釜の中にはすなはち害物あらずなりぬ
42 And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.
茲にバアルシヤリシヤより人來り初穂のパンと大麥のパン二十と圃の初物一袋とを神の人の許にもちいたりたればエリシヤ衆人にあたへて食はしめよと言ふに
43 And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare.
その奴僕いひけるは如何にとや我これを百人の前にそなふべきかと然るに彼また言ふ衆人にあたへて食しめよ夫ヱホバかくいひたまふかれら食ふて尚あます所あらんと
44 And he set [it] before them, and they ate and left [thereof], according to the word of Jehovah.
すなはち之をその前にそなへたればみな食ふてなほ餘せりヱホバの言のごとし
