1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.
爰にサムエル死にしかばイスラエル人皆あつまりて之をかなしみラマにあるその家にてこれを葬むれりダビデたちてバランの野にくだる
2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
マオンに一箇の人あり其所有はカルメルにあり其人甚だ大なる者にして三千の羊と一千の山羊をもちしがカルメルにて羊の毛を剪り居たり
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.
其人の名はナバルといひ其妻の名はアビガルといふアビガルは賢く顔美き婦なりされど其夫は剛愎にして其爲すところ惡かりきかれはカレブの人なり
4 And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
ダビデ野にありてナバルが其羊の毛を剪りをるを聞き
5 He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
ダビデ十人の少者を遣はすダビデ其少者にいひけるはカルメルにのぼりナバルにいたりわが名をもてかれに安否をとひ
6 And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.
かくのごとくいへ願くは壽ながかれ爾平安なれ爾の家やすらかなれ爾が有ところの物みなやすらかなれ
7 I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.
我爾が羊毛を剪せをるを聞り爾の牧羊者は我らとともにありしが我らこれを害せざりきまたかれらがカルメルにありしあひだかれらの物何も失たることなし
8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.
爾の少者に問へかれら爾につげん願くは少者をして爾のまへに恩をえせしめよ我ら吉日に來る請ふ爾の手にあるところの物を爾の僕らおよび爾の子ダビデにあたへよ
9 And when David’s servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David’s name: and then held their peace.
ダビデの少者いたりダビデの名をもって是らのことばの如くナバルに語りてやめり
10 But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.
ナバル、ダビデの僕にこたへていひけるはダビデは誰なるヱサイの子は誰なる此頃は主人をすてて遁逃るる僕おほし
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?
我あにわがパンと水およびわが羊毛をきる者のために殺したる肉をとりて何處よりか知れざるところの人々にあたふべけんや
12 So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.
ダビデの少者ふりかへりて其道に就き歸りきたりて此等の言のごとくダビデに告ぐ
13 Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.
是においてダビデ其從者に爾らおのおの劍を帶よと言ければ各劍をおぶダビデもまた劍をおぶ而して四百人ばかりダビデにしたがひて上り二百人は輜重のところに止れり
14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.
時にひとりの少者ナバルの妻アビガルに告ていひけるは視よダビデ野より使者をおくりて我らの主人を祝したるに主人かれらを詈れり
15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.
されどかの人々はわれらに甚だ善くなし我らは害をかうむらず亦われら野にありし時かれらとともにをるあひだはなにをも失なはざりき
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
我らが羊をかひて彼らとともにありしあひだ彼らは日夜われらの墻となれり
17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.
されば爾今しりてなにをなさんかを考ふべし其はわれらの主人および主人の全家に定めて害きたるべければなり主人は邪魔なる者にして語ることをえずと
18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:
アビガルいそぎパン二百酒の革嚢二旣に調へたる羊五烘麥五セア乾葡萄百球乾無花果の團塊二百を取て驢馬にのせ
19 And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.
其少者にいひけるは我先に進め視よ我爾らの後にゆくと然ど其夫ナバルには告げざりき
20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.
アビガル驢馬にのりて山の僻處にくだれる時視よダビデと其從者かれにむかひてくだりければかれ其人々にあふ
21 And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.
ダビデかつていひけるは誠にわれ徒に此人の野にて有る物をみなまもりてその物をして何もうせざらしめたりかれは惡をもてわが善にむくゆ
22 May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.
ねがはくは神ダビデの敵にかくなしまた重ねてかくなしたまへ明晨までに我はナバルに屬する總ての物の中ひとりの男をものこさざるべし
23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.
アビガル、ダビデを視しとき急ぎ驢馬よりおりダビデのまへに地に俯して拝し
24 And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.
其足もとにふしていひけるはわが主よ此咎を我に歸したまへ但し婢をして爾の耳にいふことを得さしめ婢のことばを聽たまへ
25 Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.
ねがはくは我主この邪なる人ナバル(愚)の事を意に介むなかれ其はかれは其名の如くなればなりかれの名はナバルにしてかれは愚なりわれなんぢの婢はわが主のつかはせし少ものを見ざりき
26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.
さればわがしゆよヱホバはいくまたなんぢのたましひはいくヱホバなんぢのきたりて血をながしまた爾がみづから仇をむくゆるを阻めたまへりねがはくは爾の敵たるものおよびわが主に害をくはへんとする者はナバルのごとくなれ
27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.
さて仕女がわが主にもちきたりしこの禮物をねがはくはわが主の足迹にあゆむ少者にたてまつらしめたまへ
28 Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.
請ふ婢の過をゆるしたまへヱホバ必ずわが主のために堅き家を立たまはん是はわが主ヱホバの軍に戰ふにより又世にいでてよりこのかた爾の身に惡きこと見えざるによりてなり
29 For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.
人たちて爾を追ひ爾の生命を求むれどもわが主の生命は爾の神ヱホバとともに生命の包裏の中に包みあり爾の敵の生命は投石器のうちより投すつる如くヱホバこれをなげすてたまはん
30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,
ヱホバその爾につきて語りたまひし諸の善き事をわが主になして爾をイスラエルの主宰に命じたまはん時にいたりて
31 This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.
爾の故なくして血をながしたることも又わが主のみづから其仇をむくいし事も爾の憂となることなくまたわが主の心の責となることなかるべし但しヱホバのわが主に善くなしたまふ時にいたらばねがはくは婢を憶たまへ
32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
ダビデ、アビガルにいふ今日汝をつかはして我をむかへしめたまふイスラエルの神ヱホバは頌美べきかな
33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me today, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.
また汝の智慧はほむべきかな又汝はほむべきかな汝今日わがきたりて血をながし自ら仇をむくゆるを止めたり
34 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
わが汝を害するを阻めたまひしイスラエルの神ヱホバは生く誠にもし汝いそぎて我を來り迎ずば必ず翌朝までにナバルの所にひとりの男ものこらざりしならんと
35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.
ダビデ、アビガルの携へきたりし物を其手より受てかれにいひけるは安かに汝の家にかへりのぼれ視よわれ汝の言をききいれて汝の顔を立たり
36 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal’s heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
かくてアビガル、ナバルにいたりて視にかれは家に酒宴を設け居たり王の酒宴のごとしナバルの心これがために樂みて甚だしく酔たればアビガル多少をいはず何をも翌朝までかれにつげざりき
37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
朝にいたりナバルの酒のさめたる時妻かれに是等の事をつげたるに彼の心そのうちに死て其身石のごとくなりぬ
38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
十日ばかりありてヱホバ、ナバルを撃ちたまひければ死り
39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.
ダビデ、ナバルの死たるを聞ていひけるはヱホバは頌美べきかなヱホバわが蒙むりたる恥辱の訟を理してナバルにむくい僕を阻めて惡をおこなはざらしめたまふ其はヱホバ、ナバルの惡を其首に歸し賜へばなりと爰にダビデ、アビガルを妻にめとらんとて人を遣はしてこれとかたらはしむ
40 And David’s servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
ダビデの僕カルメルにをるアビガルの許にいたりてこれにかたりいひけるはダビデ汝を妻にめとらんとて我らを汝に遣はすと
41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
アビガルたちて地にふして拝しいひけるは視よ婢はわが主の僕等の足を洗ふ仕女なりと
42 And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
アビガルいそぎたちて驢馬に乗り五人の侍女とともにダビデの使者にしたがひゆきてダビデの妻となる
43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.
ダビデまたヱズレルのアヒノアムを娶れり彼ら二人ダビデの妻となる
44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.
但しサウルはダビデの妻なりし其女ミカルをガリムの人なるライシの子パルテにあたへたり
