1 Kings 18
1 After many days the word of the Lord came to Elias, in the third year, saying: Go and shew thyself to Achab, that I may give rain upon the face of the earth.
衆多の日を經たるのち第三年にヱホバの言エリヤに臨みて曰く往て爾の身をアハブに示せ我雨を地の面に降さんと
2 And Elias went to shew himself to Achab, and there was a grievous famine in Samaria.
エリヤ其身をアハブに示さんとて往り時に饑饉サマリアに甚しかりき
3 And Achab called Abdias the governor of his house: now Abdias feared the Lord very much.
茲にアハブ家宰なるオバデヤを召たり
4 For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water.
(オバデヤは大にヱホバを畏みたる者にてイゼベルがヱホバの預言者を絶たる時にオバデヤ百人の預言者を取て之を五十人づつ洞穴に匿しパンと水をもて之を養へり)
5 And Achab said to Abdias: Go into the land unto all fountains of waters, and into all valleys, to see if we can find grass, and save the horses and mules, that the beasts may not utterly perish.
アハブ、オバデヤにいひけるは國中の水の諸の源と諸の川に往け馬と騾を生活むる草を得ることあらん然ば我儕牲畜を盡くは失なふに至らじと
6 And they divided the countries between them, that they might go round about them: Achab went one way, and Abdias another way by himself.
彼等巡るべき地を二人に分ちアハブは獨にて此途に往きオバデヤは獨にて彼途に往けり
7 And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias?
オバデヤ途にありし時觀よエリヤ彼に遭り彼エリヤを識て伏て言けるは我主エリヤ汝は此に居たまふや
8 And he answered: I am. Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.
エリヤ彼に言けるは然り往て汝の主にエリヤは此にありと告よ
9 And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me thy servant into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?
彼言けるは我何の罪を犯したれば汝僕をアハブの手に付して我を殺さしめんとする
10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found.
汝の神ヱホバは生くわが主の人を遣はして汝を尋ねざる民はなく國はなし若しエリヤは在ずといふ時は其國其民をして汝を見ずといふ誓を爲しめたり
11 And now thou sayest to me: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.
汝今言ふ往て汝の主にエリヤは此にありと告よと
12 And when I am gone from thee, the spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab, and he not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy.
然ど我汝をはなれて往ときヱホバの霊我しらざる處に汝を携へゆかん我至りてアハブに告て彼汝を尋獲ざる時は彼我を殺さん然ながら僕はわが幼少よりヱホバを畏むなり
13 Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water?
イゼベルがヱホバの預言者を殺したる時に吾なしたる事即ち我がヱホバの預言者の中百人を五十人づつ洞穴に匿してパンと水を以て之を養ひし事は吾主に聞えざりしや
14 And now thou sayest: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me.
しかるに今汝言ふ往て汝の主にエリヤは此にありと告よと然らば彼我を殺すならん
15 And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him.
エリヤいひけるは我が事ふる萬軍のヱホバは活く我は必ず今日わが身を彼に示すべしと
16 Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias.
オバデヤ乃ち往てアハブに會ひ之に告ければアハブはエリヤに會んとて往きけるが
17 And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?
アハブ、エリヤを見し時アハブ、エリヤに言けるは汝イスラエルを惱ます者此にをるか
18 And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father’s house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.
彼答へけるは我はイスラエルを惱さず但汝と汝の父の家之を惱すなり即ち汝等はヱホバの命令を棄て且汝はバアルに從ひたり
19 Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel’s table.
されば人を遣てイスラエルの諸の人およびバアルの預言者四百五十人並にアシラ像の預言者四百人イゼベルの席に食ふ者をカルメル山に集めて我に詣しめよと
20 Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.
是においてアハブ、イスラエルの都の子孫の中に人を遣り預言者をカルメル山に集めたり
21 And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.
時にエリヤ總の民に近づきて言けるは汝等何時まで二の物の間にまよふやヱホバ若し神ならば之に從へされどバアル若し神ならば之に從へと民は一言も彼に答ざりき
22 And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
エリヤ民に言けるは惟我一人存りてヱホバの預言者たり然どバアルの預言者は四百五十人あり
23 Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.
然ば二の犢を我儕に與へよ彼等は其一の犢を選みて之を截り剖き薪の上に載せて火を縦たずに置べし我も其一の犢を調理へ薪の上に載せて火を縦ずに置べし
24 Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering said: A very good proposal.
斯して汝等は汝等の神の名を龥べ我はヱホバの名を龥ん而して火をもて應る神を神と爲べしと民皆答て斯言は善と言り
25 Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods, but put no fire under.
エリヤ、バアルの預言者に言けるは汝等は多ければ一の犢を選みて最初に調理へ汝等の神の名を呼ぶべし但し火を縦なかれと
26 And they took the bullock which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.
彼等乃ち其與られたる犢を取て調理へ朝より午にいたるまでバアルの名を龥てバアルよ我儕に應へたまへと言り然ど何の聲もなく又何の應る者もなかりければ彼等は其造りたる壇のまはりに踊れり
27 And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.
日中におよびてエリヤ彼等を嘲りていひけるは大聲をあげて呼べ彼は神なればなり彼は默想をるか他處に行しか又は旅にあるか或は假寐て醒さるべきかと
28 So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.
是において彼等は大聲に呼はり其例に循ひて刀劍と槍を以て其身を傷つけ血を其身に流すに至れり
29 And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed:
斯して午時すぐるに至りしが彼等なほ預言を言ひて晩の祭物を献ぐる時にまで及べり然ども何の聲もなく又何の應ふる者も无く又何の顧る者もなかりき
30 Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down:
時にエリヤ都の民にむかひて我に近よれと言ければ民皆彼に近よれり彼乃ち破壞たるヱホバの壇を修理ヘり
31 And he took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.
エリヤ、ヤコブの子等の支派の數に循ひて十二の石を取れり(ヱホバの言昔ヤコブに臨みてイスラエルを汝の名とすべしと言り)
32 And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows round about the altar.
彼其石にてヱホバの名を以て壇を築き壇の周圍に種子二セヤを容べき溝を作れり
33 And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.
又薪を陳列べ犢を截剖て薪の上に載せて言けるは四の桶に水を滿て燔祭と薪の上に沃げ
34 And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.
又いひけるは再び之を爲せと再びこれをなせしかば又言ふ三次これを爲せと三次これをなせり
35 And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.
水に壇の周廻に流るまた溝にも水をみたしたり
36 And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.
晩の祭物を献ぐる時に及て預言者エリヤ近よりて言けるはアブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝のイスラエルにおいて神なることおよび我が汝の僕にして汝の言に循ひて是等の諸の事を爲せることを今日知しめたまへ
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.
ヱホバよ我に應へたまへ我に應へたまへ此民をして汝ヱホバは神なることおよび汝は彼等の心を翻へしたまふといふことを知しめたまへと
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
時にヱホバの火降りて燔祭と薪と石と塵とを焚つくせり亦溝の水を餂涸せり
39 And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord he is God, the Lord he is God.
民皆見て伏ていひけるはヱホバは神なりヱホバは神なり
40 And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there.
エリヤ彼等に言けるはバアルの預言者を執へよ其一人をも逃遁しむる勿れと即ち之を執へたればエリヤ之をキシヨン川に曳下りて彼處に之を殺せり
41 And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat, and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
斯てエリヤ、アハブにいひけるは大雨の聲あれば汝上りて食飮すべしと
42 Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth put his face between his knees,
アハブ乃ち食飮せんとて上れり然どエリヤはカルメルの嶺に登り地に伏て其面を膝の間に容ゐたりしが
43 And he said to his servant: Go up, and look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times.
其少者にいひけるは請ふ上りて海の方を望めと彼上り望みて何もなしといひければ再び往けといひて遂に七次に及べり
44 And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man’s foot. And he said: Go up and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot and go down, lest the rain prevent thee.
第七次に及びて彼いひけるは視よ海より人の手のごとく微の雲起るとエリヤいふ上りてアハブに雨に阻められざるやう車を備へて下りたまへと言ふべしと
45 And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds, and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up went away to Jezrahel:
驟に雲と風おこり霄漢黑くなりて大雨ありきアハブはヱズレルに乗り往り
46 And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel.
ヱホバの能力エリヤに臨みて彼其腰を束帶びヱズレルの入口までアハブの前に趨りゆけり
