Kings IV 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before you is too narrow 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 you, to Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
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 he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with your servants. And he said, 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 And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to 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 And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
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 God said, Where did it fall? and he showed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
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 And he said, Take it up to yourself. And he stretched 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 And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
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 Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that you pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
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 Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or 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 And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not tell me who betrays me to 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, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatever you may say in your 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, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
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 And he sent there horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
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 the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what 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 Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are 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 Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray you, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
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 they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Strike, I pray you, this people with blindness. And he struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
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 Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them away 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 entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray you, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord 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 to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily strike them, [my] father?
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 said, You shall not strike them, unless you would strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart 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 set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer 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 the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, 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 [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at 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 the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, 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 to her, Unless the Lord help you, whence shall I help you? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
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 to her, What is [the matter] with you? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give your son, and we will eat him today, 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 ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give your son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden 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 of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he tore his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw 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 And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon 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 And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do you see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him 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 While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord 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
