2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
茲に預言者の徒エリシヤに言けるは視よ我儕が汝とともに住ふ所はわれらのために隘し
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
請ふ我儕をしてヨルダンに往しめよ我儕おのおの彼處より一の材木を取て其處に我儕の住べき處を設けんエリシヤ往よと言ふ
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
時にその一人希はくは汝も僕等と共に往けと言ければエリシヤ答へて我ゆかんと言ふ
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
エリシヤかく彼等とともに往り彼等すなはちヨルダンにいたりて樹を砍りたふしけるが
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
一人の材木を砍りたふすに方りてその斧水におちいりしかば叫びて嗚呼主よ是は乞得たる者なりと言ふ
6 And the man of Elohim said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
神の人其は何處におちいりしやと言ふにその處をしらせしかば則ち枝を切おとして其處に投いれてその斧を浮ましめ
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
汝これを取れと言ければその人手を伸てこれを取り
8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
茲にスリアの王イスラエルと戰ひをりその臣僕と評議して斯々の處に我陣を張んと言たれば
9 And the man of Elohim sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
神の人イスラエルの王に言おくりけるは汝愼んで某の處を過るなかれ其はスリア人其處に下ればなりと
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of Elohim told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
イスラエルの王是において神の人が己に告げ己に敎たる處に人を遣して其處に自防しこと一二回に止まらざりき
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
是をもてスリアの王是事のために心をなやましその臣僕を召て我儕の中誰がイスラエルの王と通じをるかを我に告ざるやと言ふに
12 And one of his servants said, None, my master, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
その臣僕の一人言ふ王わが主よ然るにあらず但イスラエルの預言者エリシヤ汝が寝室にて語る所の言語をもイスラエルの王に告るなり
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
王いひけるは往て彼が安に居かを見よ我人をやりてこれを執へんと茲に彼はドタンに居ると王に告ていふ者ありければ
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
王そこに馬と車および大軍をつかはせり彼等すなはち夜の中に來りてその邑を取かこみけるが
15 And when the servant of the man of Elohim was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
神の人の從屬夙に興て出て見に軍勢馬と車をもて邑を取かこみ居ればその少者エリシヤに言けるは嗚呼わが主よ我儕如何にすべきや
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
エリシヤ答へけるは懼るなかれ我儕とともにある者は彼等とともにある者よりも多しと
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, YHWH, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
ヱリシヤ祈りて願くはヱホバかれの目を開きて見させたまへと言ければヱホバその少者の眼を開きたまへり彼すなはち見るに火の馬と火の車山に盈てエリシヤの四面に在り
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto YHWH, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
スリア人エリシヤの所に下りいたれる時エリシヤ、ヱホバに祈りて言ふ願くは此人々をして目昏しめたまへと即ちエリシヤの言のごとくにその目を昏しめたまへり
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
是においてエリシヤ彼らに言けるは是はその途にあらず是はその城にもあらず我に從ひて來れ我汝らを汝らが尋ぬる人の所に携ゆかんとて彼等をサマリヤにひき至れり
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
彼等がサマリヤに至りし時エリシヤ言けるはヱホバよ此人々の目をひらきて見させたまへと即ちヱホバかれらの目を開きたまひたれば彼等見るにその身はサマリヤの中にあり
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
イスラエルの王かれらを見てエリシヤに言けるはわが父よ我撃殺すべきや撃殺すべきや
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
エリシヤ答けるは撃殺すべからず汝劍と弓をもて擄にせる者等を撃殺すことを爲んやパンと水と彼らの前にそなへて食飮せしめてその主君に往しむべきなり
23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
王すなはちかれらの爲に大なる饗宴をまうけ其食飮ををはるに及びてこれを去しめたればすなはち其主君に歸れり是をもてスリアの兵ふたたびイスラエルの地に入ざりき
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
此後スリアの王ベネハダデその全軍を集めて上りきたりてサマリヤを攻圍みければ
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
サマリヤ大に糧食に乏しくなれり即ちかれら之を攻かこみたれば遂に驢馬の頭一箇は銀八十枚にいたり鳩の糞一カブの四分の一は銀五枚にいたる
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my master, O king.
茲にイスラエルの王石垣の上を通りをる時一人の婦人かれに呼はりて我主王よ助けたまへと言ければ
27 And he said, If YHWH do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
彼言ふヱホバもし汝を助けたまはずば我何をもてか汝を助くることを得ん禾場の物をもてせんか酒榨の中の物をもてせんか
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
王すなはち婦に何事なるやと言ば答へて言ふ此婦人我にむかひ汝の子を與へよ我儕今日これを食ひて明日わが子を食ふべしと言り
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
斯われら吾子を煮てこれを食ひけるが我次の日にいたりて彼にむかひ汝の子を與へよ我儕これを食はんと言しに彼その子を隱したり
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
王その婦人の言を聞て衣を裂き而して石垣の上を通りをりしが民これを見るにその膚に麻布を著居たり
31 Then he said, Elohim do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
王言けるは今日シヤパテの子エリシヤの首その身の上にすわりをらば神われに斯なしまた重ねてかく成たまへ
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
時にエリシヤはその家に坐しをり長老等これと共に坐し居る王すなはち己の所より人を遣しけるがエリシヤはその使者の未だ己にいたらざる前に長老等に言ふ汝等この人を殺す者の子が我の首をとらんとて人を遣はすを見るや汝等觀てその使者至らば戸を閉てこれを戸の内にいるるなかれ彼の主君の足音その後にするにあらずやと
33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of YHWH; what should I wait for YHWH any longer?
斯彼等と語をる間にその使者かれの許に來りしが王もつづいて來り言けるは此災はヱホバより出たるなり我なんぞ此上ヱホバを待べけんや
