Judges 16
1 He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman a harlot, and went in unto her.
サムソン、ガザに往きかしこにて一人の妓を見てそれの處に入りしに
2 And when the Philistines had beard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out.
サムソンここに來れりとガザ人につぐるものありければすなはち之を取り圍みよもすがら邑の門に埋伏し詰朝におよび夜の明たる時に之をころすべしといひてよもすがら靜まりかへりて居る
3 But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof, and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron.
サムソン夜半までいね夜半にいたりて興き邑の門の扉とふたつの柱に手をかけて楗もろともに之をひきぬき肩に載てヘブロンの向ひなる山の巓に負のぼれり
4 After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila.
こののちサムソン、ソレクの谷に居る名はデリラと言ふ婦人を愛す
5 And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
ペリシテ人の群伯その婦のもとに上り來て之にいひけるは汝サムソンを説すすめてその大いなる力は何に在るかまたわれら如何にせば之に勝て之を縛りくるしむるを得べきかを見出せ然すればわれらおのおの銀千百枚づつをなんぢに與ふべし
6 And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is wherewith if thou wert bound thou couldst not break loose.
ここにおいてデリラ、サムソンにいひけるは汝の大なる力は何にあるかまた如何せば汝を縛りて苦むることを得るや請ふ之をわれにつげよ
7 And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men.
サムソン之にいひけるは人もし乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩をもてわれを縛るときはわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
8 And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such is he spoke of, with which she bound him;
ここに於てペリシテ人の群伯乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩を婦にもち來りければ婦之を以てサムソンをしばりしが
9 Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength Jay.
かねて室のうちに人しのび居て己とともにありたれば斯してサムソンにむかひサムソンよペリシテ人汝に及ぶと言にサムソンすなはちその索を絶りあたかも麻絲の火にあひて斷るるがごとし斯其の力の原由知れざりき
10 And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound.
デリラ、サムソンにいひけるは視よ汝われを欺きてわれに謊を告たり請ふ何をもてせば汝を縛ることをうるや今我に告よ
11 And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men.
彼之にいひけるはもし人用ひたることなき新しき索をもてわれを縛りいましめなばわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
12 Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs.
是をもてデリラあたらしき索をとり其をもて彼を縛りしかして彼にいふサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶと時に室のうちに人しのび居たりしがサムソン絲の如くにその索を腕より絶おとせり
13 And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak.
デリラ、サムソンにいひけるに今までは汝われを欺きて我に謊をつげたるが何をもてせば汝をしばることをうるやわれに告よと彼之にいひけるは汝もしわが髮毛七繚を機の緯線とともに織ばすなはち可しと
14 And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace.
婦すなはち釘をもて之をとめおきて彼にいひけるはサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶとサムソンすなはちその寢をさまし織機の釘と緯線とを曳拔り
15 And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy great strength lieth.
婦ここにおいてサムソンにいひけるは汝の心われに居ざるに汝いかでわれを愛すといふや汝すでに三次われをあざむきて汝が大なる力の何にあるかをわれに告ずと
16 And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even until death.
日々にその言をもて之にせまりうながして彼の心を死るばかりに苦ませたれば
17 Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother’s womb: if my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men.
彼つひにその心をことごとく打明して之にいひけるはわが頭にはいまだかつて剃刀を當しことあらずそはわれ母の胎を出るよりして神のナザレ人たればなりもしわれ髮をそりおとされなばわが力われをはなれわれは弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
18 Then seeing that be had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up taking with them the money which they had promised.
デリラ、サムソンがことごとく其のこころを明したるを見人をつかはしてペリシテ人の群伯を召ていひけるはサムソンことごとくその心をわれに明したれば今ひとたび上り來るべしとここにおいてペリシテ人の群伯かの銀を携へて婦のもとにいたる
19 But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber, and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him.
婦おのが膝のうへにサムソンをねむらせ人をよびてその頭髮七繚をきりおとさしめ之を苦めはじめたるにその力すでにうせさりてあり
20 And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him.
婦ここにおいてサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶといひければ彼睡眠をさましていひけるはわれ毎のごとく出て身を振はさんと彼はヱホバのおのれをはなれたまひしを覺らざりき
21 Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind.
ペリシテ人すなはち彼を執へ眼を抉りて之をガザにひき下り銅の鏈をもて之を繋げりかくてサムソンは囚獄のうちに磨を挽居たりしが
22 And now his hair began to grow again.
その髮の毛剃りおとされてのち復長はじめたり
23 And the princes of the Philistines assembled together, to offer great sacrifices to Dagon their god, and to make merry, saying: Our god hath delivered our enemy Samson into our hands.
茲にペリシテ人の群伯共にあつまりてその神ダゴンに大なる祭物をささげて祝をなさんとしすなはち言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵サムソンをわれらの手に付したりと
24 And the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our bands, him that destroyed our country and killed very many.
民サムソンを見ておのれの神をほめたたへて言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵たる者われらの地を荒せしものわれらを數多殺せしものをわれらの手に付したりと
25 And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison he played before them, and they made him stand between two pillars.
その心に喜びていひけるはサムソンを召てわれらのために戲技をなさしめよとて囚獄よりサムソンを召いだせしかばサムソン之がために戲技をなせり彼等サムソンを柱の間に立しめしに
26 And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little.
サムソンおのが手をひきをる少者にいひけるはわれをはなして此家の倚て立ところの柱をさぐりて之に倚しめよと
27 Now the house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson’s play.
その家には男女充ちペリシテ人の群伯もまたみな其處に居る又屋蓋のうへには三千ばかりの男女をりてサムソンの戲技をなすを觀てありき
28 But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God, remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge.
時にサムソン、ヱホバに呼はりいひけるはああ主ヱホバよねがはくは我を記念えたまへ嗚呼神よ願くは唯今一度われを強くしてわがふたつの眼のひとつのためにだにもペリシテ人に仇をむくいしめたまへと
29 And laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left,
サムソンすなはちその家の倚てたつところの兩箇の中柱のひとつを右の手ひとつを左の手にかかへて身をこれによせたりしが
30 He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life.
サムソン我はペリシテ人とともに死なんといひて力をきはめて身をかがめたれば家はそのなかに居る群伯とすべての民のうへに倒れたりかくサムソンが死るときに殺せしものは生けるときに殺せし者よりもおほかりき
31 And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years.
こののちサムソンの兄弟およびその父の家族ことごとく下りて之を取り携へのぼりてゾラとエシタオルのあひだなる其の父マノアの墓にはうむれりサムソンがイスラエルをさばきしは二十年なりき
