1 Samuel 1
1 There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite:
エフライムの山地のラマタイムゾビムにエルカナと名くる人ありエフライテ人にしてエロハムの子なりエロハムはエリウの子エリウはトフの子トフはツフの子なり
2 And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.
エルカナに二人の妻ありてひとりの名をハンナといひひとりの名をペニンナといふペニンナには子ありたれどもハンナには子あらざりき
3 And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.
是人毎歳に其邑をいで上りてシロにおいて萬軍のヱホバを拝み之に祭物をささぐ其處にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハスをりてヱホバに祭司たり
4 Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:
エルカナ祭物をささぐる時其妻ペニンナと其すべての息子女子にわかちあたへしが
5 But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.
ハンナには其倍をあたふ是はハンナを愛するが故なりされどヱホバ其孕みをとどめたまふ
6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:
其敵もまた痛くこれをなやましてヱホバが其はらみをとどめしを怒らせんとす
7 And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.
歳々ハンナ、ヱホバの家にのぼるごとにエルカナかくなせしかばペニンナかくのごとく之をなやます是故にハンナないてものくはざりき
8 Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるはハンナよ何故になくや何故にものくはざるや何故に心かなしむや我は汝のためには十人の子よりもまさるにあらずや
9 So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:
かくてシロにて食飮せしのちハンナたちあがれり時に祭司エリ、ヱホバの宮の柱の傍にある壇に坐す
10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,
ハンナ心にくるしみヱホバにいのりて甚く哭き
11 And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
誓をなしていひけるは萬軍のヱホバよ若し誠に婢の惱をかへりみ我を憶ひ婢を忘れずして婢に男子をあたへたまはば我これを一生のあひだヱホバにささげ剃髮刀を其首にあつまじ
12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.
ハンナ、ヱホバのまへに長くいのりければエリ其口に目をとめたり
13 Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,
ハンナ心の中にものいへば只唇うごくのみにて聲きこえず是故にエリこれを酔たる者と思ひ
14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.
之にいひけるは何時まで酔ひをるか爾の酒をされよ
15 Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
ハンナこたへていひけるは主よ然るにあらず我は氣のわづらふ婦人にして葡萄酒をも濃き酒をものまず惟わが心をヱホバのまへに明せるなり
16 Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.
婢を邪なる女となすなかれ我はわが憂と悲みの多きよりして今までかたれり
17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.
エリ答へていひけるは安んじて去れ願くはイスラエルの神汝の求むる願ひを許したまはんことを
18 And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.
ハンナいひけるはねがはくは仕女の汝のまへに恩をえんことをと斯てこの婦さりて食ひ其顔ふたたび哀しげならざりき
19 And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.
是に於て彼等朝はやくおきてヱホバの前に拝をしかへりてラマの家にいたる而してエルカナ其つまハンナとまじはるヱホバ之をかへりみたまふ
20 And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.
ハンナ孕みてのち月みちて男子をうみ我これをヱホバに求めし故なりとて其名をサムエル(ヱホバに聽る)となづく
21 And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.
爰に其人エルカナ及び其家族みな上りて年々の祭物及び其誓ひし物をささぐ
22 But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.
然どもハンナは上らず其夫にいひけるは我はこの子の乳ばなれするに及びてのち之をたづさへゆきヱホバのまへにあらはれしめ恒にかしこに居らしめん
23 And Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるは汝の善と思ふところを爲し此子を乳ばなすまでとどまるべし只ヱホバの其言を確實ならしめ賜んことをねがふと斯くこの婦止まりて其子に乳をのませ其ちばなれするをまちしが
24 And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:
乳ばなせしとき牛三頭粉一斗酒一嚢を取り其子をたづさへてシロにあるヱホバの家にいたる其子なほ幼稚し
25 And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.
是に於て牛をころしその子をエリの許に携へゆきぬ
26 And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.
ハンナいひけるは主よ汝のたましひは活くわれはかつてここにてなんぢの傍にたちヱホバにいのりし婦なり
27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
われ此子のためにいのりしにヱホバわが求めしものをあたへたまへり
28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said:
此故にわれまたこれをヱホバにささげん其一生のあひだ之をヱホバにささぐ斯てかしこにてヱホバををがめり
