1 Samuel 22

1 David therefore went from thence and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father’s house had heard of it, they went down to him thither;

是故にダビデ其處をいでたちてアドラムの洞穴にのがる其兄弟および父の家みな聞きおよびて彼處にくだり彼の許に至る

2 And all that were in distress and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men.

また惱める人負債者心に嫌ぬ者皆かれの許にあつまりて彼其長となれりかれとともにある者はおよそ四百人なり

3 And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me.

ダビデ其處よりモアブのミヅパにいたりモアブの王にいひけるは神の我をいかがなしたまふかを知るまでねがはくはわが父母をして出て汝らとともにをらしめよと

4 And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold.

遂にかれらをモアブの王のまへにつれきたるかれらはダビデが要害にをる間王とともにありき

5 And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret.

預言者ガデ、ダビデに云けるは要害に住るなかれゆきてユダの地にいたれとダビデゆきてハレテの叢林にいたる

6 And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him,

爰にサウル、ダビデおよびかれとともなる人々の見露されしを聞けり時にサウルはギベアにあり手に槍を執て岡巒の柳の樹の下にをり臣僕ども皆其傍にたてり

7 He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give everyone of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions:

サウル側にたてる僕にいひけるは汝らベニヤミン人聞けよヱサイの子汝らおのおのに田と葡萄園をあたへ汝らおのおのを千夫長百夫長となすことあらんや

8 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son hath entered into league with the soil of Isai? There is not one of you that pitieth my case, nor that giveth me any information: because my son hath raised up my servant against me, plotting against me to this day.

汝ら皆我に敵して謀り一人もわが子のヱサイの子と契約を結びしを我につげしらする者なしまた汝ら一人もわがために憂へずわが子が今日のごとくわが僕をはげまして道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするを我につげしらす者なし

9 And Doeg the Edomite who stood by, and was the chief among the servants of Saul, answering, said: I saw the son of Isai, in Nobe with Achimelech the son of Achitob the priest.

時にエドミ人ドエグ、サウルの僕の中にたち居りしが答へていひけるは我ヱサイの子のノブにゆきてアヒトブの子アヒメレクに至るを見しが

10 And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

アヒメレクかれのためにヱホバに問ひまたかれに食物をあたへペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍をあたへたりと

11 Then the king sent to call for Achimelech the priest the son of Achitob, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king.

王すなはち人をつかはしてアヒトブの子祭司アヒメレクなよびその父の家すなはちノブの祭司たる人々を召したればみな王の許にきたる

12 And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord.

サウルいひけるは汝アヒトブの子聽よ答へけるは主よ我ここにあり

13 And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day.

サウルかれにいふ汝なんぞヱサイの子とともに我に敵して謀り汝かれにパンと劍をあたへ彼が爲に神に問ひかれをして今日のごとく道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするや

14 And Achimelech answering the king, said: And who amongst all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son in law, and goeth forth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house?

アヒメレク王にこたへていひけるは汝の臣僕のうち誰かダビデのごとく忠義なる彼は王の婿にして親しく汝に見ゆるもの汝の家に尊まるる者にあらずや

15 Did I begin today to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father’s house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great.

我其時かれのために神に問ことを始めしや決てしからずねがはくは王僕およびわが父の全家に何をも歸するなかれ其は僕この事については多少をいはず何をもしらざればなり

16 And the king said: Dying thou shalt die, Achimelech, thou and all thy father’s house.

王いひけるはアヒメレク汝必ず死ぬべし汝の父の全家もしかりと

17 And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king’s servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord.

王旁にたてる前驅の人々にいひけるは身をひるがへしてヱホバの祭司を殺せかれらもダビデと力を合するが故またかれらダビデの逃たるをしりて我に告ざりし故なりと然ど王の僕手をいだしてヱホバの祭司を撃ことを好まざれば

18 And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell upon the priests and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod.

王ドエグにいふ汝身をひるがへして祭司をころせとエドミ人ドエグ乃ち身をひるがへして祭司をうち其日布のエポデを衣たる者八十五人をころせり

19 And Nobe the city of the priests he smote with the edge of his sword, both men and women, children, and sucklings, and ox and ass, and sheep with the edge of the sword.

かれまた刃を以て祭司の邑ノブを撃ち刃をもて男女童稚嬰孩牛驢馬羊を殺せり

20 But one of the sons of Achimelech the son of Achitob, whose name was Abiathar, escaped, and fled to David,

アヒトブの子アヒメレクの一人の子アビヤタルとなづくる者逃れてダビデにはしり從がふ

21 And told him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.

アビヤタル、サウルがヱホバの祭司を殺したることをダビデに告しかば

22 And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father’s house.

ダビデ、アビヤタルにいふかの日エドミ人ドエグ彼處にをりしかば我かれが必らずサウルにつげんことを知れり我汝の父の家の人々の生命を喪へる源由となれり

23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved.

汝我とともに居れ懼るるなかれわが生命を求むる者汝の生命をも求むるなり汝我とともにあらば安全なるべし
