1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
スリアの王ベネハダデ其軍勢を悉く集む王三十二人彼と偕にあり又馬と戰車とあり乃ち上りてサマリアを圍み之を攻む
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
彼使をイスラエルの王アハブに遣し邑に至りて彼に言しめけるはベネハダデ斯言ふ
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
爾の金銀は我の所有なり亦爾の妻等と爾の子等の美秀者は我の所有なり
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My master, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
イスラエルの王答へて言けるは王わが主よ爾の言の如く我と我が有つ者は皆爾の所有なり
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
使者再び來りて言けるはベネハダデ斯語て言ふ我爾に爾我に爾の金銀妻子を付すべしと言遣れり
6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
然ど明日今頃我が僕を爾に遣さん彼等爾の家と爾の臣僕の家を探索りて凡て爾の日に好ましく見ゆる者を其手に置て取り去るべしと
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
是においてイスラエルの王國の長老を皆召て言けるは請ふ爾等見て此人の害をなさんと求るを知れ彼人を我に遣りて我が妻子とわが金銀を索めたり而るに我之を謝絶ざりしと
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
諸の長老および民皆彼に言けるは爾聽なかれ許すなかれと
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my master the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
是故に彼ベネハダデの使者に言けるは王わが主に告よ爾が最初に僕に言つかはしたる事は皆我爲べし然ど比事は我爲あたはずと使者往て反命をなせり
10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The elohim do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
ベネハダデ彼に言つかはしけるは神等我に斯なし亦重て斯なしたまへサマリアの塵は我に從ふ諸の民の手に滿るに足ざるべしと
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
イスラエルの王答へて帶る者は解く者の如く誇るべからずと告よと言り
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
ベネハダデ天幕にありて王等と飮ゐたりしが此事を聞て其臣僕に言けるは爾等陣列を爲せと即ち邑に向ひて陣列をなせり
13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith YHWH, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it in to thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am YHWH.
時に一人の預言者イスラエルの王アハブの許に至りて言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾此諸の大軍を見るや視よ我今日之を爾の手に付さん爾は我がヱホバなるを知にいたらんと
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith YHWH, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
アハブ言けるは誰を以てせんか彼いひけるはヱホバ斯いひたまふ諸省の牧伯の少者を以てすべしアハブ言ふ誰か戰爭を始むべき彼答けるは爾なりと
15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
アハブ乃ち諸省の牧伯の少者を核るに二百三十二人あり次に凡の民即ちイスラエルの凡の子孫を核るに七千人あり
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
彼等日中出たちたりしがベネハダデは天幕にて王等即ち己を助る三十二人の王等とともに飮て酔居たり
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
諸省の牧伯の少者等先に出たりベネハダデ人を出すにサマリアより人衆出來ると彼に告ければ
18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
彼言けるは和睦のために出來るも之を生擒べし又戰爭のために出來るも之を生擒べしと
19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
諸省の牧伯の是等の少者および之に從ふ軍勢邑より出きたり
20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
各其敵手を撃ち殺しければスリア人逃たりイスラエル之を追ふスリアの王ベネハダデは馬に乗り騎兵を從へて逃遁たり
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
イスラエルの王出て馬と戰車を撃ち又大にスリア人を撃殺せり
22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thy self, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
茲に彼預言者イスラエルの王の許に詣て彼に言けるは往て爾の力を養ひ爾の爲すべき事を知り辨ふべし年歸らばスリアの王爾に攻上るべければなりと
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their elohim are elohim of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
スリアの王の臣僕王に言けるは彼等の神等は山崗の神なるが故に彼等は我等よりも強かりしなり然ども我等若平地に於て彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべし
24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
但し此事を爲せ即ち王等を除きて各其處を離しめ方伯を置て之に代べし
25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
又爾の失ひたる軍勢に均き軍勢を爾のために備へ馬は馬戰車は戰車をもて補ふべし斯して我儕平地において彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべしと彼其言を聽いれて然なせり
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
年かへるに及びてベネハダデ、スリア人を核めてアペクに上りイスラエルと戰はんとす
27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
イスラエルの子孫核められ兵糧を受て彼等に出會んとて往けりイスラエルの子孫は山羊の二の小群の如く彼等の前に陣どりしがスリア人は其地に充滿たり
28 And there came a man of Elohim, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith YHWH, Because the Syrians have said, YHWH is Elohim of the hills, but he is not Elohim of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am YHWH.
時に神の人至りてイスラエルの王に告ていひけるはヱホバ斯言たまふスリア人ヱホバは山獄の神にして谿谷の神にあらずと言ふによりて我此諸の大軍を爾の手に付すべし爾等は我がヱホバなるを知に至らんと
29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
彼等七日互に相對て陣どり第七日におよびて戰爭を交接しがイスラエルの子孫一日にスリア人の歩兵十萬人を殺しければ
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
其餘の者はアベクに逃て邑に入ぬ然るに其石垣崩れて其存れる二萬七千人の上にたふれたりベネハダデは逃て邑にいたり奧の間に入ぬ
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
其臣僕彼にいひけるは我儕イスラエルの家の王等は仁慈ある王なりと聞り請ふ我儕粗麻布を腰につけ繩を頭につけてイスラエルの王の所にいたらん彼爾の命を生むることあらんと
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
斯彼等粗麻布を腰にまき繩を頭にまきてイスラエルの王の所にいたりていひけるは爾の僕ベネハダデ請ふ我が生命を生しめたまへと言ふとアハブいひけるは彼は尚生をるや彼はわが兄弟なりと
33 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
其人々これを吉兆と爲し速に彼の言を承て爾の兄弟ベネハダデといへり彼言けるは爾等ゆきて彼を導ききたるべしと是においてベネハダデ彼の所に出來りしかば彼之を車に登しめたり
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
ベネハダデ彼に言けるは我父の爾の父より取たる諸邑は我返すべし又我が父のサマリアに造りたる如く爾ダマスコに於て爾のために街衢を作るべしアハブ言ふ我此契約を以て爾を歸さんと斯彼と契約を爲て彼を歸せり
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of YHWH, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
爰に預言者の徒の一人ヱホバの言によりて其同儕に請我を撃てといひけるが其人彼を撃つことを肯ぜざりしかば
36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of YHWH, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
彼其人に言ふ汝ヱホバの言を聽ざりしによりて視よ汝の我をはなれて往く時獅子汝をころさんと其人彼の側を離れて往きけるに獅子之に遇て之を殺せり
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
彼また他の人に遭て請ふ我を撃といひければ其人之を撃ち撃て傷けたり
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
預言者往て王を途に待ち其目に掩巾をあてて儀容を變ゐたりしが
39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
王の經過る時王に呼はりていひけるは僕戰爭の中に出しに人轉りて一箇の人を我の所に曳きたりて言けるは此人を守れ若彼失ゆく事あらば汝の生命を彼の生命に代べし或は爾銀一タラントを出すべしと
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
而るに僕此彼に事をなしゐたれば彼遂に失たりとイスラエルの王彼にいひけるは爾の擬定は然なるべし爾之を決めたり
41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
彼急ぎて其目の掩巾を取除たればイスラエルの王彼が預言者の一人なるを識り
42 And he said unto him, Thus saith YHWH, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
彼王に言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾はわが殲滅んと定めたる人を爾の手より放ちたれば爾の命は彼の生命に代り爾の民は彼の民に代るべしと
43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
イスラエルの王憂へ且怒て其家に赴きサマリアに至れり
