< 1 Samuel 25 >
1 Then Samuel dyed, and all Israel assembled, and mourned for him, and buried him in his owne house at Ramah. And Dauid arose and went downe to the wildernes of Paran.
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 in Maon was a man, who had his possessio in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie and had three thousand sheepe, and a thousand goates: and he was shering his sheepe 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 The name also of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman of singular wisdome, and beautifull, but the man was churlish, and euil conditioned, and was of the familie 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 Dauid heard in the wildernesse, that Nabal did shere his sheepe.
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 Therefore Dauid sent tenne yong men, and Dauid said vnto the yong men, Go vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and aske him in my name how he doeth.
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 thus shall ye say for salutation, Both thou, and thine house, and all that thou hast, be in peace, wealth and prosperitie.
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 Behold, I haue heard, that thou hast sherers: now thy shepherds were with vs, and we did the no hurt, neyther did they misse any thing all the while they were 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 Aske thy seruants and they wil shew thee. Wherefore let these yong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) giue, I pray thee, whatsoeuer commeth to thine hand vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne Dauid.
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 Dauids yong men came, they tolde Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid, and helde 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 Then Nabal answered Dauids seruantes, and sayd, Who is Dauid? and who is the sonne of Ishai? there be many seruantes nowe a dayes, that breake away euery man from his master.
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 my flesh that I haue killed for my sherers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they be?
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 Dauids seruants turned their way, and went againe, and came, and tolde him all those things.
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 And Dauid said vnto his men, Girde euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sworde: Dauid also girded his sworde. And about foure hundreth men went vp after Dauid, and two hundreth abode by the cariage.
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 Nowe one of the seruantes tolde Abigail Nabals wife, saying, Beholde, Dauid sent messengers out of the wildernesse to salute our master, and he rayled on 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 Notwithstanding the men were very good vnto vs, and we had no displeasure, neither missed we any thing as long as we were conuersant with them, when we were in the fieldes.
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 as a wall vnto vs both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping sheepe.
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 Nowe therefore take heede, and see what thou shalt doe: for euill will surely come vpon our master, and vpon all his familie: for he is so wicked that a man can not speake 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 tooke two hundreth cakes, and two bottels of wine, and fiue sheepe ready dressed, and fiue measures of parched corne, and an hundreth frailes of raisins, and two hundreth of figs, and laded them on 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 Then she said vnto her seruants, Go ye before me: beholde, I will come after you: yet she tolde 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 as shee rode on her asse, shee came downe by a secret place of the mountaine, and beholde, Dauid and his men came downe 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 Dauid said, In deede I haue kept all in vaine that this fellow had in the wildernesse, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained vnto him: for he hath requited me euill 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 So and more also doe God vnto the enemies of Dauid: for surely I will not leaue of all that he hath, by the dawning of the day, 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 sawe Dauid, she hasted and lighted off her asse, and fell before Dauid on her face, and bowed her selfe to 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 fel at his feete, and sayd, Oh, my lord, I haue committed the iniquitie, and I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake to thee, and heare thou the wordes of thine handmayde.
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 lorde, I pray thee, regard this wicked man Nabal: for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and follie is with him: but I thine handmayde sawe not the yong men of 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, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth (the Lord, I say, that hath withholden thee from comming to shedde blood, and that thine hand should not saue thee) so now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, and they that intend to doe my lord euill.
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 And now, this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought vnto my lorde, let it be giuen vnto the yong men, that follow 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 I pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of thine handmaide: for the Lord will make my lorde a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battels of the Lord, and none euill hath bene found in thee in all 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 Yet a man hath risen vp to persecute thee, and to seeke thy soule, but the soule of my lorde shall be bounde in the bundel of life with the Lord thy God: and the soule of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle 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 haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promised thee, and shall haue made thee ruler ouer 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 Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor offence of minde vnto my lord, that he hath not shed blood causelesse, nor that my lorde hath not preserued him selfe: and when the Lord shall haue dealt well with my lorde, remember thine handmaide.
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 Then Dauid said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meete me.
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 thy counsel, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from comming to shed blood, and that mine hand hath not saued me.
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 For in deede, as the Lord God of Israel liueth, who hath kept me backe from hurting thee, except thou haddest hasted and met mee, surely there had not bene left vnto Nabal by the dawning of the day, 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 Then Dauid receiued of her hande that which she had brought him, and said to her, Goe vp in peace to thine house: beholde, I haue heard thy voyce, and haue graunted thy petition.
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 So Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of a King, and Nabals heart was merie within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore shee tolde him nothing, neither lesse nor more, vntil the morning arose.
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 Then in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wife tolde him those wordes, and his heart died within him, and he was like 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 about ten dayes after, the Lord smote Nabal, that he dyed.
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 Now when Dauid heard, that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord that hath iudged the cause of my rebuke of ye hand of Nabal, and hath kept his seruant from euil: for the Lord hath recompensed the wickednesse of Nabal vpon his owne head. Also Dauid sent to commune with Abigail to take her to his 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 whe the seruants of Dauid were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake vnto her, saying, Dauid sent vs to thee, to take thee to his 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 her selfe on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmayde be a seruant to wash the feete of the seruants 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 hasted, and arose, and rode vpon an asse, and her fiue maides folowed her, and she went after the messengers of Dauid, and was 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 Dauid also tooke Ahinoam of Izreel, and they were both his wiues.
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 Now Saul had giuen Michal his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti the sonne of Laish, which was of Gallim.
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
