1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
サウル、ペリシテ人を追ふことをやめて還りし時人々かれにつげていひけるは視よダビデはエンゲデの野にありと
2 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
サウル、イスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人を率ゐゆきて野羊の巌にダビデと其從者を尋ぬ
3 and he comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding in the sides of the cave.
途にて羊の棧にいたるに其處に洞穴ありサウル其足を掩んとていりぬ時にダビデと其從者洞の隅に居たり
4 And the men of David say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
ダビデの從者これにいひけるはヱホバが汝に告て視よ我汝の敵を汝の手にわたし汝をして善と見るところを彼になさしめんといひたまひし日は今なりとダビデすなはち起てひそかにサウルの衣の裾をきれり
5 And it comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
ダビデ、サウルの衣の裾をきりしによりて後ち其心みづから責む
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
ダビデ其從者にいひけるはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なるわが主にわが此事をなすをヱホバ禁じたまふかれはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればかれに敵してわが手をのぶるは善らず
7 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the way;
ダビデ此ことばをもって其從者を止めサウルに撃ちかかる事を容さずサウルたちて洞を出て其道にゆく
8 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
ダビデもまた後よりたちて洞をいでサウルのうしろに呼はりて我主王よといふサウル後をかへりみる時ダビデ地にふして拝す
9 And David says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは汝なんぞダビデ汝を害せん事を求むといふ人の言を聽くや
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
視よ今日汝の目ヱホバの汝を洞のうちにて今日わが手にわたしたまひしことを見たり人々我に汝をころさんことを勸めたれども我汝を惜めり我いひけらくわが主はヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればこれに敵してわが手をのぶべからずと
11 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting my soul to take it!
わが父よ視よわが手にある汝の衣の裾を見よわが汝の衣の裾をきりて汝を殺さざるを見ばわが手には惡も罪過もなきことを汝見て知るべし我汝に罪ををかせしことなし然るに汝わが生命をとらんとねらふ
12 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not on you;
ヱホバ我と汝の間を審きたまはんヱホバわがために汝に報いたまふべし然どわが手は汝に加へざるべし
13 as the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not on you.
古への諺にいふごとく惡は惡人よりいづされどわが手は汝にくはへざるべし
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
イスラエルの王は誰を趕んとて出たるや汝たれを追ふや死たる犬をおひ一の蚤をおふなり
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers me out of your hand.”
ねがはくはヱホバ審判者となりて我と汝のあひだをさばきかつ見てわが訟を理し我を汝の手よりすくひいだしたまはんことを
16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
ダビデこれらの言をサウルに語りをへしときサウルいひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は汝の聲なるかとサウル聲をあげて哭きぬ
17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil;
しかしてダビデにいひけるは汝は我よりも正し我は汝に惡をむくゆるに汝は我に善をむくゆ
18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
汝今日いかに汝が我に善くなすかを明かにせりヱホバ我を爾の手にわたしたまひしに爾我をころさざりしなり
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day.
人もし其敵にあはばこれを安らかに去しむべけんや爾が今日我になしたる事のためにヱホバ爾に善をむくいたまふべし
20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
視よ我爾が必ず王とならんことを知りまたイスラエルの王國の爾の手によりて堅くたたんことをしる
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
今爾ヱホバをさして我にわが後にてわが子孫を斷ずわが名をわが父の家に滅せざらんことを誓へと
22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
ダビデすなはちサウルにちかふ是においてサウルは家にかへりダビデと其從者は要害にのぼれり
