< 1 Samuel 4 >

1 And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
イスラエル人ペリシテ人にいであひて戰はんとしエベネゼルの邊に陣をとりペリシテ人はアベクに陣をとる
2 And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
ペリシテ人イスラエル人にむかひて陣列をなせり戰ふにおよびてイスラエル人ペリシテ人のまへにやぶるペリシテ人戰場において其軍四千人ばかりを殺せり
3 So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
民陣營にいたるにイスラエルの長老曰けるはヱホバ何故に今日我等をペリシテ人のまへにやぶりたまひしやヱホバの契約の櫃をシロより此にたづさへ來らん其櫃われらのうちに來らば我らを敵の手よりすくひいだすことあらんと
4 Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
かくて民人をシロにつかはしてケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバの契約の櫃を其處よりたづさへきたらしむ時にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス神の契約のはことともに彼處にありき
5 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
ヱホバの契約の櫃陣營にいたりしときイスラエル人皆大によばはりさけびければ地なりひびけり
6 And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
ペリシテ人喊呼の聲を聞ていひけるはヘブル人の陣營に起れる此大なるさけびの聲は何ぞやと遂にヱホバの櫃の其陣營にいたれるを知る
7 And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
ペリシテ人おそれていひけるは神陣營にいたる又いひけるは鳴呼われら禍なるかな今にいたるまで斯ることなかりき
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
ああ我等禍なるかな誰かわれらを是らの強き神の手よりすくひいださんや此等の神は昔し諸の災を以てエジプト人を曠野に撃し者なり
9 Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
ペリシテ人よ強くなり豪傑のごとく爲せヘブル人がかつて汝らに事へしごとく汝らこれに事ふるなかれ豪傑のごとく爲して戰へよ
10 And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
かくてペリシテ人戰ひしかばイスラエル人やぶれて各々其天幕に逃かへる戰死はなはだ多くイスラエルの歩兵の仆れし者三萬人なりき
11 And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
又神の櫃は奪はれエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス殺さる
12 And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
是日ベニヤミンの一人軍中より走來り其衣を裂き土をかむりてシロにいたる
13 And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
其いたれる時エリ道の傍に壇に坐して觀望居たり其心に神の櫃のことを思ひ煩らひたればなり其人いたり邑にて人々に告ければ邑こぞりてさけびたり
14 And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
エリ此呼號の聲をききていひけるは是喧嘩の聲は何なるやと其人いそぎきたりてエリにつぐ
15 (Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
時にエリ九十八歳にして其目かたまりて見ることあたはず
16 And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
其人エリにいひけるは我は軍中より來れるもの我今日軍中より逃れたりエリいひけるは吾子よ事いかん
17 Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
使人答へていひけるはイスラエル人ペリシテ人の前に逃げ且民の中に大なる戰死ありまた汝の二人の子ホフニとピネハスは殺され神の櫃は奪はれたり
18 And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
神の櫃のことを演しときエリ其壇より仰けに門の傍におち頸をれて死ねり是はかれ老て身重かりければなり其イスラエルを鞫しは四十年なりき
19 And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
エリの媳ピネハスの妻孕みて子產ん時ちかかりしが神の櫃の奪はれしと舅と夫の死にしとの傳言を聞しかば其痛みおこりきたり身をかがめて子を產り
20 And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
其死なんとする時傍にたてる婦人これにいひけるは懼るるなかれ汝男子を生りと然ども答へず又かへりみず
21 And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
只榮光イスラエルをさりぬといひて其子をイカボデ(榮なし)と名く是は神の櫃奪はれしによりまた舅と夫の故に因るなり
22 She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
またいひけるは榮光イスラエルをさりぬ神の櫃うばはれたればなり
