1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, “I'm so happy in the Lord! He has empowered me! Now I have plenty to say in answer to those who hate me. I celebrate your salvation!
ハンナ祷りて言けるは我心はヱホバによりて喜び我角はヱホバによりて高し我口はわが敵の上にはりひらく是は我汝の救拯によりて樂むが故なり
2 There's no one holy like the Lord—no one apart from you, no Rock like our God!
ヱホバのごとく聖き者はあらず其は汝の外に有る者なければなり又われらの神のごとき磐はあることなし
3 Don't speak so conceitedly! Don't talk so arrogantly! For the Lord is a God who knows everything—doesn't he judge what you do?
汝等重ねて甚く誇りて語るなかれ汝等の口より漫言を出すなかれヱホバは全知の神にして行爲を裁度りたまふなり
4 The weapons of the powerful are shattered, while those who stumble along are made strong.
勇者の弓は折れ倒るる者は勢力を帶ぶ
5 Those who used to have plenty of food now have to work to earn a crust, while those who used to be hungry now have become fat. The woman who was childless now has seven children, while the woman with many children fades away.
飽足る者は食のために身を傭はせ饑たる者は憩へり石女は七人を生み多くの子を有る者は衰ふるにいたる
6 The Lord kills and he revives; he sends some down to the grave, but he raises others up. (Sheol h7585)
ヱホバは殺し又生したまひ陰府に下し又上らしめたまふ (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord makes some poor, but others rich; he brings some down, but he lifts others up.
ヱホバは貧からしめ又富しめたまひ卑くしまた高くしたまふ
8 He helps the poor up from the dust; he raises the lowborn from the trash pile and seats them with the upper class in places of honor. For the foundations of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the world on them.
荏弱者を塵の中より擧げ窮乏者を埃の中より升せて王公の中に坐せしめ榮光の位をつがしめ給ふ地の柱はヱホバの所屬なりヱホバ其上に世界を置きたまへり
9 He will take care of those who trust him, but the wicked vanish into the darkness, for people don't succeed through their own strength.
ヱホバ其聖徒の足を守りたまはん惡き者は黑暗にありて默すべし其は人力をもて勝つべからざればなり
10 The Lord crushes his enemies, he thunders against them from heaven. He rules the whole earth; he strengthens his king, and gives power to the one he has anointed.”
ヱホバと爭ふ者は破碎かれんヱホバ天より雷を彼等の上にくだしヱホバは地の極を審き其王に力を與へ其膏そそぎし者の角を高くし給はん
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah while the boy stayed with Eli the priest serving the Lord.
エルカナ、ラマに往て其家にいたりしが稚子は祭司エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ
12 Eli's sons were worthless men who didn't have any time for the Lord
さてエリの子は邪なる者にしてヱホバをしらざりき
13 or their role as priests to the people. They would send one of their servants over with a fork when anyone came to offer a sacrifice.
祭司の民に於る習慣は斯のごとし人祭物をささぐる時肉を烹るあひだに祭司の僕三の歯ある肉叉を手にとりて來り
14 The servant would stick the fork into the pot while the meat from the sacrifice was being boiled, and would take whatever meat came up on the fork to Eli's sons. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
之を釜あるひは鍋あるひは鼎又は炮烙に突きいれ肉叉の引きあぐるところの肉は祭司みなこれを己にとる是くシロに於て凡てそこに來るイスラエル人になせり
15 In fact even before the fat of the sacrifice was burned up the servant would come and would demand from the man sacrificing, “Give me meat to roast for the priest. He doesn't want boiled meat from you—he wants it raw.”
脂をやく前にも亦祭司のしもべ來り祭物をささぐる人にいふ祭司のために燒くべき肉をあたへよ祭司は汝より烹たる肉を受けず生腥の肉をこのむと
16 The man might answer, “Let me first burn up all the fat, and then you can have as much as you want.” But the priest's servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me now. If you don't, I'll take it by force.”
もし其人これにむかひ直ちに脂をやくべければ後心のこのむままに取れといはば僕之にいふ否今あたへよ然らずば我強て取んと
17 The sins of these young men were extremely serious from the Lord's perspective because they were treating with contempt the Lord's offerings.
故に其壯者の罪ヱホバのまへに甚だ大なりそは人々ヱホバに祭物をささぐることをいとひたればなり
18 But Samuel served before the Lord—a boy dressed as a priest, wearing a linen ephod.
サムエルなほ幼して布のエポデを著てヱホバのまへにつかふ
19 Every year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
また其母これがために小き明衣をつくり歳毎にその夫とともに年の祭物をささげにのぼる時これをもちきたる
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to replace the one she prayed for and dedicated to the Lord.” Then they would return home.
エリ、エルカナとその妻を祝していひけるは汝がヱホバにささげたる者のためにヱホバ此婦よりして子を汝にあたへたまはんことをねがふと斯てかれら其郷にかへる
21 The Lord blessed Hannah with three sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.
しかしてヱホバ、ハンナをかへりみたまひければハンナ孕みて三人の男子と二人の女子をうめり童子サムエルはヱホバのまへにありて生育てり
22 Eli was very old, however he had heard about all the things his sons were doing to the people of Israel, and how they were seducing the women who were serving at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
ここにエリ甚だ老て其子等がイスラエルの人々になせし諸の事を聞きまた其集會の幕屋の門にいづる婦人たちと寝たるを聞て
23 He asked them, “Why are you doing all this? I keep on hearing from everyone about your evil actions.
これにいひけるは何ぞ斯る事をなすや我このすべての民より汝らのあしき行をきく
24 No, my sons, the report I hear about you from the Lord's people isn't good.
わが子よ然すべからず我きくところの風聞よからず爾らヱホバの民をしてあやまたしむ
25 If a man sins against someone, God can intercede for him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who is going to intercede for him?” But they didn't pay attention to what their father said, for the Lord was planning to put them to death.
人もし人にむかひて罪ををかさば神之をさばかんされど人もしヱホバに向ひて罪ををかさば誰かこれがためにとりなしをなさんやとしかれども其子父のことばを聽ざりきそはヱホバかれらを殺さんと思ひたまへばなり
26 The boy Samuel grew physically, and also grew in the approval of both the Lord and the people.
童子サムエル生長ゆきてヱホバと人とに愛せらる
27 A man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the Lord says: Didn't I very clearly reveal myself to your forefather's family when they were ruled by Pharaoh in Egypt?
茲に神の人エリの許に來りこれにいひけるはヱホバ斯くいひたまふ爾の父祖の家エジプトにおいてパロの家にありしとき我明かに之にあらはれしにあらずや
28 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel as my priest, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave to your forefather's family all the Israelites' offerings made with fire.
我これをイスラエルの諸の支派のうちより選みてわが祭司となしわが壇の上に祭物をささげ香をたかしめ我前にエポデを衣しめまたイスラエルの人の火祭を悉く汝の父の家にあたへたり
29 So why have you treated with contempt my sacrifices and offerings that I have ordered for my place of worship? You honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves with the best parts of all the offerings from my people Israel.
なんぞわが命ぜし犠牲と禮物を汝の家にてふみつくるや何ぞ我よりもなんぢの子をたふとみわが民イスラエルの諸の祭物の最も嘉きところをもて己を肥すや
30 Consequently, this is the declaration of the Lord: I made a definite promise that your family and your father's family would always serve me as priests. But now the Lord declares: Not anymore! Instead I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me I will treat with contempt.
是ゆゑにイスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまはく我誠に曾ていへり汝の家およびなんぢの父祖の家永くわがまへにあゆまんと然ども今ヱホバいひたまふ決めてしからず我をたふとむ者は我もこれをたふとむ我を賤しむる者はかろんぜらるべし
31 The time is coming when I will bring your family and your father's family to an end. No one will live to an old age.
視よ時いたらん我汝の腕と汝の父祖の家の腕を絶ち汝の家に老たるもの无らしめん
32 You will see tragedy in the place of worship. While Israel will prosper, no one in your family will ever again reach old age.
我大にイスラエルを善すべけれど汝の家内には災見えん汝の家にはこののち永く老るものなかるべし
33 Anyone of your family not cut off from serving at my altar will make your eyes weep and cause you grief. All your descendants will die when full of life.
またわが壇より絶ざる汝の族の者は汝の目をそこなひ汝の心をいたましめん又汝の家にうまれいづるものは壯年にして死なん
34 Here is a sign for you that this will happen regarding your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: both will die on the same day.
汝のふたりの子ホフニとピネスの遇ところの事を其徴とせよ即ち二人ともに同じ日に死なん
35 I will choose for myself a trustworthy priest who will do what I really want, what I have in mind. I will make sure he and his descendants are trustworthy and they will always serve my anointed one.
我はわがために忠信なる祭司をおこさん其人わが心とわが意にしたがひておこなはんわれその家をかたうせんかれわが膏そそぎし者のまへに恒にあゆむべし
36 Every one of your descendants who is left will come and bow down to him, asking for money and food, saying, ‘Please give me work as a priest so that I can have food to eat.’”
しかして汝の家にのこれる者は皆きたりてこれに屈み一厘の金と一片のパンを乞ひ且いはんねがはくは我を祭司の職の一に任じて些少のパンにても食ふことをえせしめよと
