Judges 15
1 And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.
日を經てのち麥秋の時にサムソン山羊羔をたづさへて妻のもとを訪ていひけるは我室に入てわが妻に會んと然るに妻の父其の入ことをゆるさず
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, be thine instead of her.
其父すなはちいひけるはわれまことに汝は彼の婦を嫌ひたりと意ひしがゆゑに彼を汝の伴侶たりし者に與へたり彼が妹は彼よりも善にあらずやねがはくは彼に代て之を汝のものとせよ
3 And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm.
サムソン彼らにいひけるは今回はわれペリシテ人に害を加ふるとも彼らに對して罪なかるべしと
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails.
サムソンすなはち往て山犬三百をとらへ火炬をとり尾と尾をあはせてその二つの尾の間に一つの火炬を結ひつけ
5 And he set the torches on fire, and let [them] run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens.
火炬に火をつけてペリシテ人のいまだ刈ざる麥のなかにこれを放ち入れその束ね積たるものといまだ刈ざるものを焚き橄欖の園にまで及ぼせり
6 And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
ペリシテ人いひけるは是は誰の行爲なるやこたへて言ふテムナテ人の婿サムソンなりそは彼サムソンの妻をとりて其伴侶なりし者に與へたればなりとここにおいてペリシテ人上りきたりて彼の婦とその父とを火にて燒きうしなへり
7 And Samson said to them, If ye act thus, for a certainty I will avenge myself on you, and then I will cease.
サムソンかれらに言ふ汝ら斯おこなへば我汝らに仇をむくはでは止じと
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the cliff Etam.
すなはち脛に腿に彼らを撃て大いに之を殺せりかくてサムソンは下りてエタムの巖間に居る
9 And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
ここにおいてペリシテ人上り來りてユダに陣を取りレヒに布き備へたれば
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
ユダの人々いひけるは汝ら何の故にわれらに攻めのぼりたるやとかれらこたへけるはサムソンをしばりて彼がわれらに爲しごとくかれに爲んとてのぼれるなりと
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
是をもてユダの人三千人エタムの巖間にくだりてサムソンにいふ汝ペリシテ人はわれらを轄るものなるを知らざるや汝などてかわれらに斯る事をなせしやサムソンかれらにいひけるは我は彼らが我に爲しごとく彼らに爲しなりと
12 And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may give thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall on me yourselves.
かれらまたサムソンにいひけるは我らは汝をしばりてペリシテ人の手にわたさんとて下りきたれりサムソンかれらにいひけるは汝らの自われを害すまじきことを我に誓へ
13 And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff.
彼ら之にかたりていふいなわれらはただ汝を縛りいましめてペリシテ人の手にわたさんのみわれらは必らず汝を殺さざるべしとすなはち二條の新しき索をもてかれをいましめて巖より之を携かへれり
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
サムソン、レヒにいたれるときペリシテ人聲を揚てかれに近づきしが時しもヱホバの靈彼にのぞみたればその腕にかかれる索は火に焚たる麻のごとくになりて手のいましめ解はなれたり
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand and took it, and slew with it a thousand men.
サムソンすなはち驢馬のあたらしき腮骨ひとつを見出し手をのべて之を取り其をもて一千人を殺し
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
而して言ふ驢馬の腮骨をもて山をきづき山をつくる驢馬の腮骨をもて我一千人を撃殺せりと
17 And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.
かく言終りてその手より腮骨をうちすて其處をラマテレヒと名けたり
18 And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
時に彼渇をおぼゆること甚だしかりしかばヱホバによばはりていふ汝のしもべの手をもて汝この大なる拯をほどこしたまへるにわれ今渇きて死に割禮を受けざるものの手におちいらんとすと
19 And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
ここにおいて神レヒに在るくぼめる所を裂きたまひしかば水そこより流れいでしがサムソン之を飮たれば精神舊に返りてふたたび爽になりぬ故に其名をエンハッコレ（呼はれるものの泉）と呼ぶ是今日にいたるまでレヒに在り
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
サムソンはペリシテ人の治世の時に二十年イスラエルをさばけり
