< 2 Kings 4 >
1 And one of the wiues of the sonnes of the Prophets cryed vnto Elisha, saying, Thy seruant mine husband is dead, and thou knowest, that thy seruant did feare the Lord: and the creditour is come to take my two sonnes to bee his bondmen.
預言者の徒の妻の中なる一人の婦人エリシヤに呼はりていひけるは汝の僕なるわが夫死りなんぢの僕のヱホバを畏れしことはなんぢの知るところなり今債主きたりてわが二人の子をとりて奴僕となさんとすと
2 Then Elisha saide vnto her, What shall I do for thee? tell mee, what hast thou at home? And she sayd, Thine handmayd hath nothing at home, saue a pitcher of oyle.
エリシヤ之にいひけるはわれなんぢの爲に何をなすべきや汝の家に如何なる物あるかわれに告よ彼いひけるは僅少の油のほかは汝の婢の家に有ものなし
3 And he sayde, Goe, and borowe thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, emptie vessels, and spare not.
彼いひけるは往て外より鄰の人々より器を借よ空たる器を借るべし少許を借るなかれ
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the doore vpon thee and vpon thy sonnes, and powre out into all those vessels, and set aside those that are full.
而してなんぢ入て汝の子等とともに戸の内に閉こもりそのすべての器に油をつぎてその盈るところの者をとりのけおくべし
5 So shee departed from him, and shut the doore vpon her, and vpon her sonnes. And they brought to her, and she powred out.
婦人すなはち彼を離れて去りその子等とともに戸の内に閉こもり子等のもちきたる器に油をつぎたりしが
6 And when the vessels were full, shee sayde vnto her sonne, Bring mee yet a vessel. And hee said vnto her, There is no moe vessels. And the oyle ceased.
器のみな盈たるときその子にむかひ尚われに器をもちきたれといひけるに器はもはやあらずといひたればその油すなはち止る
7 Then shee came and tolde the man of God. And he saide, Goe, and sell the oyle, and pay them that thou art in debt vnto, and liue thou and thy children of the rest.
是においてその婦神の人にいたりてかくと告ければかれいふ往て油をうりてその負債をつくのひその餘分をもて汝と汝の子等生計をなすべしと
8 And on a time Elisha came to Shunem, and there a woman of great estimation constrained him to eate bread: and as he passed by, he turned in thither to eate bread.
一日エリシヤ、シユネムにゆきしに其所に一人の大なる婦人ありてしきりにこれに食をすすめたれば彼かしこを過る毎にそこに入て食をなせり
9 And she sayde vnto her husband, Beholde, I know now, that this is an holy man of God that passeth by vs continually.
茲にその婦人夫にいひけるは視よ此つねにわれらを過る人は我これを見るに神の聖き人なり
10 Let vs make him a litle chamber, I pray thee, with walles, and let vs set him there a bed, and a table, and a stoole, and a candlesticke, that hee may turne in thither when hee commeth to vs.
請ふ小き室を石垣の上につくりそこに臥床と案と榻と燭臺をかれのために備へん彼われらに至る時はそこに入るべしと
11 And on a day, hee came thither and turned into the chamber, and lay therein,
かくてのちある日エリシヤそこに至りその室に入てそこに臥たりしが
12 And sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Call this Shunammite: and when hee called her, she stood before him.
その僕ゲハジにむかひ彼のシユナミ人を召きたれといへり彼かの婦人を召たればその前にきたりて立つに
13 Then he sayd vnto him, Say vnto her now, Beholde, thou hast had all this great care for vs, what shall we doe for thee? Is there any thing to bee spoken for thee to the King or to the captaine of the hoste? And shee answered, I dwell among mine owne people.
エリシヤ、ゲハジにいひけるは彼にかく言へ汝かく懇に我らのために意を用ふ汝のために何をなすべきや王または軍勢の長に汝のことを告られんことを望むかと彼答へてわれはわが民の中にをるなりといふ
14 Againe he sayde, What is then to be done for her? Then Gehazi answered, In deede she hath no sonne, and her husband is olde.
エリシヤいひけるは然ばかれのために何をなすべきやゲハジ答へけるは誠にかれは子なくその夫は老たりと
15 Then said he, Cal her. And hee called her, and shee stoode in the doore.
是においてエリシヤかれを召といひければこれを呼に來りて戸口に立たれば
16 And he said, At this time appointed, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a sonne. And she sayd, Oh my Lord, thou man of God, doe not lye vnto thine handmayd.
エリシヤいふ明る年の今頃汝子を抱くあらん彼いひけるはいなわが主神の人よなんぢの婢をあざむきたまふなかれと
17 So the woman conceiued, and bare a sonne at that same season, according to the time of life, that Elisha had sayd vnto her.
かくて婦つひに孕て明る年にいたりてエリシヤのいへるその頃に子を生り
18 And when the childe was growen, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father, and to the reapers.
その子育ちてある日刈獲人の所にいでゆきてその父にいたりしが
19 And he sayde to his father, Mine head, mine head. Who sayd to his seruant, Beare him to his mother.
父にわが首わが首といひたれば父少者に彼を母のもとに負ゆけと言り
20 And hee tooke him and brought him to his mother, and hee sate on her knees till noone, and dyed.
すなはちこれを負て母にいたりしに午まで母の膝に坐り居て遂に死たれば
21 Then shee went vp, and layed him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the doore vpon him, and went out.
母のぼりゆきてこれを神の人の臥床の上に置きこれをとぢこめて出で
22 Then she called to her husband, and sayd, Send with me, I pray thee, one of the yong men and one of the asses: for I will haste to the man of God, and come againe.
その夫をよびていひけるは請ふ一人の僕と一頭の驢馬を我につかはせ我神の人の許にはせゆきて歸らんと
23 And he sayd, Wherefore wilt thou goe to him to day? it is neither newe moone nor Sabbath day. And she answered, All shalbe well.
夫いふ何故に汝は今日かれにいたらんとするや今日は朔日にもあらず安息日にもあらざるなり彼いひけるは宜しと
24 Then she sadled an asse, and sayde to her seruant, Driue, and goe forward: staye not for me to get vp, except I bid thee.
婦すなはち驢馬に鞍おきてその僕にいひけるは驅て進め吾が命ずることなくば我が騎すすむることに緩漫あらしめざれと
25 So she went, and came vnto the man of God to mount Carmel. And when the man of God sawe her ouer against him, he sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Beholde, the Shunammite.
つひにカルメル山にゆきて神の人にいたるに/神の人遥にかれの來るを見て僕ゲハジにいひけるは視よかしこにかのシユナミ人をる
26 Runne nowe, I say, to meete her, and say vnto her, Art thou in health? is thine husband in health? and is the child in health? And she answered, We are in health.
請ふ汝はしりゆきて彼をむかへて言へなんぢは平安なるやなんぢの夫はやすらかなるやなんぢの子はやすらかなるやと彼こたへて平安なりといひ
27 And when shee came to the man of God vnto the moutaine, she caught him by his feete: and Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away: but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soule is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told it mee.
遂に山にきたりて神の人にいたりその足を抱きたればゲハジこれを逐ひはらはんとて近よりしに神の人いひけるは容しおけ彼は心の中に苦あるなりまたヱホバその事を我にかくしていまだわれに告たまはざるなり
28 Then she said, Did I desire a sonne of my lord? did I not say, Deceiue me not?
婦いひけるはわれわが主に子を求めしやわれをあざむきたまふなかれとわれは言ざりしや
29 Then he sayd to Gehazi, Gird thy loynes, and take my staffe in thine hand, and goe thy way: if thou meete any, salute him not: and if any salute thee, answere him not: and laye my staffe vpon the face of the childe.
エリシヤすなはちゲハジにいひけるはなんぢ腰をひきからげわが杖を手にもちて行け誰に逢も禮をなすべからず又なんぢに禮をなす者あるともそれに答ふることなかれわが杖をかの子の面の上におけよと
30 And the mother of the childe sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. Therefore he arose, and followed her.
その子の母いひけるはヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は生く我は汝を離れじと是をもてエリシヤついに起て婦に從ひ行ぬ
31 But Gehazi was gone before them, and had layed the staffe vpon the face of the childe, but he neither spake nor heard: wherefore hee returned to meete him, and told him, saying, The childe is not waken.
ゲハジはかれらに先だちゆきて杖をかの子の面の上に置たるが聲もなく聞もせざりしかばかへりきたりてエリシヤに逢てこれに子いまだ目をさまさずと言ふ
32 Then came Elisha into the house, and beholde, the childe was dead, and layed vpon his bedde.
エリシヤここにおいて家に入て視に子は死ておのれの臥床の上に臥てあれば
33 He went in therefore, and shut the doore vpon them twayne, and prayed vnto the Lord.
すなはち入り戸をとぢて二人内におりてヱホバに祈り
34 After he went vp, and lay vpon the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes vpon his eies, and his hands vpon his handes, and stretched himselfe vpon him, and the flesh of the child waxed warme.
而してエリシヤ上りて子の上に伏し己が口をその口におのが目をその目に己が手をその手の上にあて身をもてその子を掩しに子の身體やうやく温まり來る
35 And hee went from him, and walked vp and downe in the house, and went vp and spred himselfe vpon him: then the childe neesed seuen times, and opened his eyes.
かくしてエリシヤかへり來て家の内に其處此處とあゆみをり又のぼりて身をもて子をおほひしに子七度嚏して目をひらきしかば
36 Then he called Gehazi, and sayd, Call this Shunammite. So he called her, which came in vnto him. And he said vnto her, Take thy sonne.
ゲハジを呼てかのシユナミ人をよべと言ければすなはちこれを呼り
37 And she came, and fell at his feete, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and tooke vp her sonne, and went out.
彼入來りしかばエリシヤなんぢの子を取ゆけと言りかれすなはち入りてエリシヤの足下に伏し地に身をかがめて其子を取あげて出づ
38 Afterward Elisha returned to Gilgal, and a famine was in the land, and the children of the Prophets dwelt with him. And hee sayd vnto his seruant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the children of the Prophets.
斯てエリシヤまたギルガルにいたりしがその地に饑饉あり預言者の徒その前に坐しをる是において彼その僕にいひけるは大なる釜をすゑて預言者の徒のために羹を煮よと
39 And one went out into the fielde, to gather herbes, and founde, as it were, a wilde vine, and gathered thereof wilde gourdes his garment ful, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew it not.
時に一人田野にゆきて菜蔬を摘しが野籐のあるを見て其より野瓜を一風呂鋪摘きたりて羹の釜の中に截こみたり其は皆それをしらざればなり
40 So they powred out for the men to eate: and when they did eate of the pottage, they cryed out, and sayde, O thou man of God, death is in the pot: and they could not eate thereof.
斯てこれを盛て人々に食はせんとせしに彼等その羹を食はんとするにあたりて叫びて嗚呼神の人よ釜の中に死をきたらする者ありといひて得食はざりしかば
41 Then he said, Bring meale. And hee cast it into the potte, and sayd, Powre out for the people, that they may eate: and there was none euill in the pot.
エリシヤさらば粉をもちきたれといひてこれを釜になげ入れ盛て人々に食しめよと言り釜の中にはすなはち害物あらずなりぬ
42 Then came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, euen twenty loaues of barley, and full eares of corne in the huske. And hee saide, Giue vnto the people, that they may eate.
茲にバアルシヤリシヤより人來り初穂のパンと大麥のパン二十と圃の初物一袋とを神の人の許にもちいたりたればエリシヤ衆人にあたへて食はしめよと言ふに
43 And his seruant answered, How shoulde I set this before an hundreth men? He sayd againe, Giue it vnto the people, that they may eate: for thus sayth the Lord, They shall eate, and there shall remaine.
その奴僕いひけるは如何にとや我これを百人の前にそなふべきかと然るに彼また言ふ衆人にあたへて食しめよ夫ヱホバかくいひたまふかれら食ふて尚あます所あらんと
44 So he set it before them, and they did eate, and left ouer, according to the word of the Lord.
すなはち之をその前にそなへたればみな食ふてなほ餘せりヱホバの言のごとし
