1 Samuel 1
1 And there was a certain man of Rama-thayim-zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, 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: 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 from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord.
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 day was come 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 double portion; for Hannah he loved [greatly]; 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 rival also provoked her continually, in order 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 he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so did she provoke her; wherefore 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 to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be 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 And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; and 'Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the door-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 But she had bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept greatly.
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 thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child: then will I give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall 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 long before the Lord, that 'Eli watched 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 as for Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; wherefore 'Eli regarded her as a drunken woman.
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 off 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; but neither wine nor strong drink have I drunk, and I 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 Esteem not thy handmaid as a worthless woman; for out of the abundance of my grief and vexation 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 may the God of Israel grant thy petition which 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 thy handmaid find grace in thy eyes. The woman then went on her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer as before.
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 early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house at 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 And it came to pass, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked him.
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 went up, with all his house, 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 did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there 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 good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord fulfill his word. So the woman remained behind, 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 she took him up with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him unto the house of the Lord at Shiloh; although the child was yet 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, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray 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 lad did I pray; and the Lord hath granted 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 have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.
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
