< 1 Kings 19 >

1 And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
アハブ、イゼベルにエリヤの凡て爲たる事及び其如何に諸の預言者を刀劍にて殺したるかを告しかば
2 and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
イゼベル使をエリヤに遣はして言けるは神等斯なし復重て斯なしたまへ我必ず明日の今時分汝の命を彼人々の一人の生命のごとくせんと
3 And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
かれ恐れて起ち其生命のために逃げ往てユダに屬するベエルシバに至り少者を其處に遺して
4 and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
自ら一日程ほど曠野に入り往て金雀花の下に坐し其身の死んことを求めていふヱホバよ足り今わが生命を取たまへ我はわが父祖よりも善にはあらざるなりと
5 And he lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, eat”;
彼金雀花の下に伏して寝りしが天の使彼に捫り興て食へと言ければ
6 and he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
彼見しに其頭の側に炭に燒きたるパンと一瓶の水ありき乃ち食ひ飮て復偃臥たり
7 And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you”;
ヱホバの使者復再び來りて彼に捫りていひけるは興て食へ其は途長くして汝勝べからざればなりと
8 and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
彼興て食ひ且飮み其食の力に仗て四十日四十夜行て神の山ホレブに至る
9 And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
彼處にて彼洞穴に入りて其處に宿りしが主の言彼に臨みて彼に言けるはエリヤよ汝此にて何を爲や
10 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
彼いふ我は萬軍の神ヱホバのために甚だ熱心なり其はイスラエルの子孫汝の契約を棄て汝の壇を毀ち刀劍を以て汝の預言者を殺したればなり惟我一人存るに彼等我生命を取んことを求むと
11 And He says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
ヱホバ言たまひけるは出てヱホバの前に山の上に立てと茲にヱホバ過ゆきたまふにヱホバのまへに當りて大なる強き風山を裂き岩石を碎しが風の中にはヱホバ在さざりき風の後に地震ありしが地震の中にはヱホバ在さざりき
12 and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
又地震の後に火ありしが火の中にはヱホバ在さざりき火の後に靜なる細微き聲ありき
13 and it comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
エリヤ聞て面を外套に蒙み出て洞穴の口に立ちけるに聲ありて彼に臨みエリヤよ汝此にて何をなすやといふ
14 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
かれいふ我は萬軍の神ヱホバの爲に甚だ熱心なり其はイスラエルの子孫汝の契約を棄て汝の壇を毀ち刀劍を以て汝の預言者を殺したればなり惟我一人存れるに彼等我が生命を取んことを求むと
15 And YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
ヱホバかれに言たまひけるは往て汝の途に返りダマスコの曠野に至り往てハザエルに膏を沃ぎてスリアの王となせ
16 and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
又汝ニムシの子エヒウに膏を注ぎてイスラエルの王となすべし又アベルメホラのシヤパテの子エリシヤに膏をそそぎ爾に代りて預言者とならしむべし
17 And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
ハザエルの刀劍を逃るる者をばエヒウ殺さんエヒウの刀劍を逃るる者をばエリシヤ殺さん
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
又我イスラエルの中に七千人を遺さん皆其膝をバアルに跼めず其口を之に接ざる者なりと
19 And he goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at him,
エリヤ彼處よりゆきてシヤパテの子エリシヤに遭ふ彼は十二軛の牛を其前に行しめて己は其第十二の牛と偕にありて耕し居たりエリヤ彼の所にわたりゆきて外套を其上にかけたれば
20 and he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
牛を棄てエリヤの後に趨ゆきて言けるは請ふ我をしてわが父母に接吻せしめよしかるのち我爾にしたがはんとエリヤかれに言けるは行け還れ我爾に何をなしたるやと
21 And he turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
エリシヤ彼をはなれて還り一軛の牛をとりて之をころし牛の器具を焚て其肉を煮て民にあたへて食はしめ起て往きエリヤに從ひて之に事へたり
