< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
エフライムの山地のラマタイムゾビムにエルカナと名くる人ありエフライテ人にしてエロハムの子なりエロハムはエリウの子エリウはトフの子トフはツフの子なり
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
エルカナに二人の妻ありてひとりの名をハンナといひひとりの名をペニンナといふペニンナには子ありたれどもハンナには子あらざりき
3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there.
是人毎歳に其邑をいで上りてシロにおいて萬軍のヱホバを拝み之に祭物をささぐ其處にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハスをりてヱホバに祭司たり
4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
エルカナ祭物をささぐる時其妻ペニンナと其すべての息子女子にわかちあたへしが
5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
ハンナには其倍をあたふ是はハンナを愛するが故なりされどヱホバ其孕みをとどめたまふ
6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
其敵もまた痛くこれをなやましてヱホバが其はらみをとどめしを怒らせんとす
7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
歳々ハンナ、ヱホバの家にのぼるごとにエルカナかくなせしかばペニンナかくのごとく之をなやます是故にハンナないてものくはざりき
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I better to thee than ten sons?
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるはハンナよ何故になくや何故にものくはざるや何故に心かなしむや我は汝のためには十人の子よりもまさるにあらずや
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
かくてシロにて食飮せしのちハンナたちあがれり時に祭司エリ、ヱホバの宮の柱の傍にある壇に坐す
10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
ハンナ心にくるしみヱホバにいのりて甚く哭き
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
誓をなしていひけるは萬軍のヱホバよ若し誠に婢の惱をかへりみ我を憶ひ婢を忘れずして婢に男子をあたへたまはば我これを一生のあひだヱホバにささげ剃髮刀を其首にあつまじ
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
ハンナ、ヱホバのまへに長くいのりければエリ其口に目をとめたり
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
ハンナ心の中にものいへば只唇うごくのみにて聲きこえず是故にエリこれを酔たる者と思ひ
14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
之にいひけるは何時まで酔ひをるか爾の酒をされよ
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
ハンナこたへていひけるは主よ然るにあらず我は氣のわづらふ婦人にして葡萄酒をも濃き酒をものまず惟わが心をヱホバのまへに明せるなり
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
婢を邪なる女となすなかれ我はわが憂と悲みの多きよりして今までかたれり
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
エリ答へていひけるは安んじて去れ願くはイスラエルの神汝の求むる願ひを許したまはんことを
18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].
ハンナいひけるはねがはくは仕女の汝のまへに恩をえんことをと斯てこの婦さりて食ひ其顔ふたたび哀しげならざりき
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
是に於て彼等朝はやくおきてヱホバの前に拝をしかへりてラマの家にいたる而してエルカナ其つまハンナとまじはるヱホバ之をかへりみたまふ
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.
ハンナ孕みてのち月みちて男子をうみ我これをヱホバに求めし故なりとて其名をサムエル(ヱホバに聽る)となづく
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
爰に其人エルカナ及び其家族みな上りて年々の祭物及び其誓ひし物をささぐ
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
然どもハンナは上らず其夫にいひけるは我はこの子の乳ばなれするに及びてのち之をたづさへゆきヱホバのまへにあらはれしめ恒にかしこに居らしめん
23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるは汝の善と思ふところを爲し此子を乳ばなすまでとどまるべし只ヱホバの其言を確實ならしめ賜んことをねがふと斯くこの婦止まりて其子に乳をのませ其ちばなれするをまちしが
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was] young.
乳ばなせしとき牛三頭粉一斗酒一嚢を取り其子をたづさへてシロにあるヱホバの家にいたる其子なほ幼稚し
25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
是に於て牛をころしその子をエリの許に携へゆきぬ
26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
ハンナいひけるは主よ汝のたましひは活くわれはかつてここにてなんぢの傍にたちヱホバにいのりし婦なり
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
われ此子のためにいのりしにヱホバわが求めしものをあたへたまへり
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
此故にわれまたこれをヱホバにささげん其一生のあひだ之をヱホバにささぐ斯てかしこにてヱホバををがめり
