2 Kings 5
1 Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.
スリア王の軍勢の長ナアマンはその主君のまへにありて大なる者にしてまた貴き者なりき是はヱホバ曾て彼をもてスリアに拯救をほどこしたまひしが故なり彼は大勇士なりしが癩病をわづらひ居る
2 Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife.
昔にスリア人隊を組ていでたりし時にイスラエルの地より一人の小女を執へゆけり彼ナアマンの妻に事たりしが
3 And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.
その女主にむかひわが主サマリヤに居る預言者の前にいまさば善らん者をかれその癩病を痊すならんと言たれば
4 Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
ナアマン入りてその主君に告てイスラエルの地よりきたれる女子斯々語りたりと言ふに
5 And the king of Syria sad to him: Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and tell changes of raiment,
スリヤ王いひけるは往よ往よ我イスラエルの王に書をおくるべしと是において彼いでゆき銀十タラントと金六千および衣服十襲をたづさヘ
6 And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
イスラエルの王にその書をもちゆけりその文に曰くこの書汝にいたらば視よ我わが臣ナアマンをなんぢに遣はせるなりこは汝にその癩病を痊されんがためなり
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.
イスラエルの王その書を讀み衣を裂ていふ我神ならんや爭か殺すことをなし生すことをなしえん然るに此人なんぞ癩病の人を我に遣はしてこれを痊さしめんとするや然ば請ふ汝等彼が如何に我に爭を求むるかを見て知れと
8 And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
茲に神の人エリシヤ、イスラエルの王がその衣を裂たることをきき王に言遣しけるは汝何とて汝の衣をさきしや彼をわがもとにいたらしめよ然ば彼イスラエルに預言者のあることを知にいたるべし
9 So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
是においてナアマンその馬と車とをしたがへ來りてエリシヤの家の門に立けるに
10 And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.
エリシヤ使をこれに遣して言ふ汝ゆきて身をヨルダンに七たび洗へ然ば汝の肉本にかへりて汝は清く爲べしと
11 Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.
ナアマン怒りて去り言けるは我は彼かならず我もとにいできたりて立ちその神ヱホバの名を呼てその所の上に手を動して癩病を痊すならんと思へり
12 Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,
ダマスコの河アバナとパルパルはイスラエルのすべての河水にまさるにあらずや我これらに身を洗ふて清まることを得ざらんやと乃ち身をめぐらし怒りて去る
13 His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?
時にその僕等近よりてこれにいひけるは我父よ預言者なんぢに大なる事をなせと命ずるとも汝はそれを爲ざらんや况て彼なんぢに身を洗ひて清くなれといふをやと
14 Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.
是においてナアマン下りゆきて神の人の言のごとくに七たびヨルダンに身を洗ひしにその肉本にかへり嬰兒の肉の如くになりて清くなりぬ
15 And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.
かれすなはちその從者とともに神の人の許にかへりきたりてその前に立ていふ我いまイスラエルのほかは全地に神なしと知る然ば請ふ僕より禮物をうけよ
16 But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
エリシヤいひけるはわが事へまつるヱホバは活く肯て禮物をうけじとかれ強て之を受しめんとしたれども遂にこれを辭したり
17 And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.
ナアマンいひけるは然ば請ふ騾馬に二駄の土を僕にとらせよ僕は今よりのち他の神には燔祭をも祭品をもささげずして只ヱホバにのみ献げんとす
18 But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.
ねがはくは主この事につきて僕をゆるしたまへ即ちわが主君リンモンの宮にいりそこにて崇拝をなしてわが手に倚ることありまた我リンモンの宮にありて身をかがむることあらんわがリンモンの宮において身をかがむる時に願くはヱホバその事につきて僕をゆるしたまへと
19 And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
エリシヤ彼になんぢ安じて去れといひければ彼エリシヤをはなれて少しく進みゆきけるに
20 But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:
神の人エリシヤの僕ゲハジいいひけるは吾が主人は此スリア人ナアマンをいたはりて彼が手に携へきたれるものを受ざりしがヱホバは活くわれ彼のあとを追かけて彼より少く物をとらんと
21 And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?
ゲハジすなはちナアマンのあとをおひ行くにナアマンはおのれのあとに走り來る者あるを見て車より下りこれを迎へて皆平安やと言ふに
22 And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
彼言けるは皆平安しわが主我を遣していはしむ只今エフライムの山より預言者の徒なる二人の少者わが許に來れり請ふ汝かれらに銀一タラントと衣二襲をあたへよと
23 And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.
ナアマンいひけるは望むらくは二タラントを取れとてかれを強ひ銀二タラントを二の袋にいれ衣二襲を添て二人の僕に負せたれば彼等これをゲハジの前に負きたりしが
24 And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.
彼岡に至りしとき之をかれらの手より取て室のうちにをさめかれらを放ちて去しめ
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
而して入てその主人のまへに立つにエリシヤこれにいひけるはゲハジよ何處より來りしや答へていふ僕は何處にもゆかず
26 But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
エリシヤいひけるはその人が車をはなれ來りてなんぢを迎へし時にわが心其處にあらざりしや今は金をうけ衣をうけ橄欖園葡萄園羊牛僕婢をうくべき時ならんや
27 But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
然ばナアマンの癩病はなんぢにつき汝の子孫におよびて限なからんと彼その前より退ぞくに癩病發して雪のごとくになりぬ
