1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said unto Saul, Me did the Lord send to anoint thee as king over his people, over Israel; and now hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord.
茲にサムエル、サウルにいひけるはヱホバ我をつかはし汝に膏を沃ぎて其民イスラエルの王となさしめたりさればヱホバの言の聲をきけ
2 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he lay in wait for him on the way, when he came up from Egypt.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ我アマレクがイスラエルになせし事すなはちエジプトよりのぼれる時其途を遮りしをかへりみる
3 Now go and smite 'Amalek, and devote all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and lamb, camel and ass.
今ゆきてアマレクを撃ち其有る物をことごとく滅しつくし彼らを憐むなかれ男女童稚哺乳兒牛羊駱駝驢馬を皆殺せ
4 And Saul ordered the people to assemble, and he numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand of the men of Judah.
サウル民をよびあつめてこれをテライムに核ふ歩兵二十萬ユダの人一萬あり
5 And Saul came to the city of 'Amalek, and he fought in the valley.
しかしてサウル、アマレクの邑にいたりて谷に兵を伏たり
6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from the midst of the 'Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; whereas ye acted kindly with all the children of Israel, at their coming up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from the midst of the 'Amalekites.
サウル、ケニ人にいひけるは汝らゆきてさりアマレク人をはなれくだるべし恐らくはかれらとともに汝らをほろぼすにいたらんイスラエルの子孫のエジプトよりのぼれる時汝らこれに恩みをほどこしたりと即ちケニ人アマレク人をはなれてさりぬ
7 And Saul smote the 'Amalekites from Chavilah until thou comest to Shur, that is before Egypt.
サウル、アマレク人をうちてハビラよりエジプトの東面なるシユルにいたる
8 And he caught Agag the king of the 'Amalekites alive, and all the people he devoted to the edge of the sword.
サウル、アマレク人の王アガグを生擒り刃をもて其民をことごとくほろぼせり
9 But Saul together with the people had pity on Agag, and on the best of the flocks, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the fat lambs, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them; but all the cattle that was of little value and weak, that they destroyed.
然ども、サウルと民アガグをゆるしまた羊と牛の最も嘉きもの及び肥たる物並に羔と凡て善き物を殘して之をほろぼしつくすをこのまず但惡き弱き物をほろぼしつくせり
10 And the word of the Lord came unto Samuel, saying,
時にヱホバの言サムエルにのぞみていはく
11 I repent that I have set up Saul as king; for he hath turned back from following me, and my word hath he not performed: and it displeased Samuel, and he cried unto the Lord all the night.
我サウルを王となせしを悔ゆ其は彼背きて我にしたがはずわが命をおこなはざればなりとサムエル憂て終夜ヱホバによばはれり
12 And Samuel rose up early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told to Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set himself up a monument, and then went about, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.
かくてサムエル、サウルにあはんとて夙く起きけるにサムエルにつぐるものありていふサウル、カルメルにいたり勝利の表を立て轉り進みてギルガルにくだれりと
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou unto the Lord, I have performed the word of the Lord.
サムエル、サウルの許に至りければサウルこれにいひけるは汝がヱホバより福祉を得んことをねがふ我ヱホバの命を行へりと
14 And Samuel said, What is then this bleating of the flocks in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
サムエルいひけるは然らばわが耳にいる此羊の聲およびわがきく牛のこゑは何ぞや
15 And Saul said, From the 'Amalekites have they brought them; because the people had pity on the best of the flocks and of the oxen, in order to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; and the rest have we destroyed.
サウルいひけるは人々これをアマレク人のところより引ききたれり其は民汝の神ヱホバにささげんために羊と牛の最も嘉きものをのこせばなり其ほかは我らほろぼしつくせり
16 And Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord said to me this night: and he said unto him, Speak.
サムエル、サウルにいけるは止まれ昨夜ヱホバの我にかたりたまひしことを汝につげんサウルいひけるはいへ
17 And Samuel said, Is it not that, however little thou wast in thy own eyes, thou art the head of the tribes of Israel? and the Lord anointed thee as king over Israel?
サムエルいひけるはさきに汝が微き者とみづから憶へる時に爾イスラエルの支派の長となりしに非ずや即ちヱホバ汝に膏を注いでイスラエルの王となせり
18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and destroy the sinners, the 'Amalekites, and thou shalt fight against them until they be consumed.
ヱホバ汝を途に遣はしていひたまはく往て惡人なるアマレク人をほろぼし其盡るまで戰へよと
19 Wherefore then didst thou not hearken unto the voice of the Lord, and didst fly upon the spoil, and didst the evil in the eyes of the Lord?
何故に汝ヱホバの言をきかずして敵の所有物にはせかかりヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしや
20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have fully hearkened unto the voice of the Lord; and I went on the way which the Lord had sent me; and I have brought Agag the king of 'Amalek; and the 'Amalekites have I destroyed.
サウル、サムエルにひけるは我誠にヱホバの言にしたがひてヱホバのつかはしたまふ途にゆきアマレクの王アガグを執きたりアマレクをほろぼしつくせり
21 And the people took of the spoil, of the flocks and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
ただ民其ほろぼしつくすべき物の最初としてギルガルにて汝の神ヱホバにささげんとて敵の物の中より羊と牛をとれり
22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as much delight in burnt-offerings and in sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to attend more than the fat of the rams.
サムエルいひけるはヱホバはその言にしたがふ事を善したまふごとく燔祭と犠牲を善したまふや夫れ順ふ事は犠牲にまさり聽く事は牡羔の脂にまさるなり
23 For the sin of witchcraft is rebellion, and idolatry and image-worship, stubbornness; inasmuch as thou hast despised the word of the Lord, he hath also despised thee that thou shalt not be king.
其は違逆は魔術の罪のごとく抗戻は虚しき物につかふる如く偶像につかふるがごとし汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバもまた汝をすてて王たらざらしめたまふ
24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the will of the Lord, and thy words; because I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
サウル、サムエルにいひけるに我ヱホバの命と汝の言をやぶりて罪ををかしたり是は民をおそれて其言にしたがひたるによりてなり
25 And now, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself to the Lord.
されば今ねがはくはわがつみをゆるし我とともにかへりて我をしてヱホバを拝することをえさしめよ
26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou didst despise the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath despised thee, that thou shalt not be king over Israel.
サムエル、サウルにいひけるは我汝とともにかへらじ汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバ汝をすててイスラエルに王たらしめたまはざればなり
27 And Samuel turned about to go: and he laid hold on the corner of his mantle, and it was rent.
サムエル去らんとて振還しときサウルその明衣の裾を捉へしかば裂たり
28 And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee this day, and hath given it to thy associate, who is better than thou.
サムエルかれにいひけるは今日ヱホバ、イスラエルの國を裂て汝よりはなし汝の隣なる汝より善きものにこれをあたへたまふ
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
またイスラエルの能力たる者は謊らず悔ず其はかれは人にあらざればくゆることなし
30 And he said, I have sinned; [yet] honor me now, I pray thee, in the presence of the elders of my people, and in the presence of Israel, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself unto the Lord thy God.
サウルいひけるは我罪ををかしたれどねがはくはわが民の長老のまへおよびイスラエルのまへにて我をたふとみて我とともにかへり我をして汝の神ヱホバを拝むことをえさしめよ
31 So Samuel returned, following Saul; and Saul prostrated himself to the Lord.
ここにおいてサムエル、サウルにしたがひてかへるしかしてサウル、ヱホバを拝む
32 And Samuel said, Bring ye hither unto me Agag the king of the 'Amalekites: and Agag came unto him cheerfully; and Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
時にサムエルいひけるは汝らわが許にアマレクの王アガグをひききたれとアガグ喜ばしげにサムエルの許にきたりアガグいひけるは死の苦みは必ず過さりぬ
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword did make women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women; and Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
サムエルいひけるに汝の劍はおほくの婦人を子なき者となせりかくのごとく汝の母は婦人の中の最も子なき者となるべしとサムエル、ギルガルにてヱホバのまへにおいてアガグを斬り
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house at Gib'ah of Saul.
かくてサムエルはラマにゆきサウルはサウルのギベアにのぼりてその家にいたる
35 And Samuel did not see Saul any more until the day of his death; because Samuel mourned for Saul; and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
サムエル其しぬる日までふたたびきたりてサウルをみざりきしかれどもサムエル、サウルのためにかなしめりまたヱホバはサウルをイスラエルの王となせしを悔たまへり
