1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said: my heart exulteth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in Thy 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 is none holy as the LORD, for there is none beside Thee; neither is there any 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 Multiply not exceeding proud talk; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
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 bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
勇者の弓は折れ倒るる者は勢力を帶ぶ
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased; while the barren hath borne seven, she that had many children hath languished.
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
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 maketh poor, and maketh rich; He bringeth low, He also lifteth 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 raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon 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 keep the feet of His holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.
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 They that strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them will He thunder in heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth; and He will give strength unto His king, and exalt the horn of His 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 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
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 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not 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 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his band;
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 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did unto all the Israelites that came thither in 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 Yea, before the fat was made to smoke, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed: 'Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but 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 And if the man said unto him: 'Let the fat be made to smoke first of all, and then take as much as thy soul desireth'; then he would say: 'Nay, but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, I will 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 And the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men dealt contemptuously with the offering of the LORD.
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 ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with 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 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly 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 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say: 'The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which was lent to the LORD.' And they would go unto their own 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 So the LORD remembered Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before 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 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of 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 And he said unto them: 'Why do ye such things? for I hear evil reports concerning you from all this people.
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 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report which I hear the LORD'S people do spread abroad.
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 one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?' But they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
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 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
童子サムエル生長ゆきてヱホバと人とに愛せらる
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Did I reveal Myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
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 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to go up unto Mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by 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 Wherefore kick ye at My sacrifice and at Mine offering, which I have commanded in My habitation; and honourest thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel My people?
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 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, saith: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before Me for ever; but now the LORD saith: Be it far from Me: for them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
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 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
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 And thou shalt behold a rival in My habitation, in all the good which shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
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 Yet will I not cut off every man of thine from Mine altar, to make thine eyes to fail, and thy heart to languish; and all the increase of thy house shall die young men.
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 And this shall be the sign unto thee, that which shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
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 And I will raise Me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in My heart and in My mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before Mine anointed for ever.
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 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say: Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.'
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
