1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel dies, and all Israel is gathered, and mourns for him, and buries him in his house, in Ramah; and David rises and goes down to the wilderness of Paran.
爰にサムエル死にしかばイスラエル人皆あつまりて之をかなしみラマにあるその家にてこれを葬むれりダビデたちてバランの野にくだる
2 And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he has three thousand sheep and one thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel.
マオンに一箇の人あり其所有はカルメルにあり其人甚だ大なる者にして三千の羊と一千の山羊をもちしがカルメルにて羊の毛を剪り居たり
3 And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife [is] Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of beautiful form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in his] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
其人の名はナバルといひ其妻の名はアビガルといふアビガルは賢く顔美き婦なりされど其夫は剛愎にして其爲すところ惡かりきかれはカレブの人なり
4 And David hears in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
ダビデ野にありてナバルが其羊の毛を剪りをるを聞き
5 and David sends ten young men, and David says to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and you have come to Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
ダビデ十人の少者を遣はすダビデ其少者にいひけるはカルメルにのぼりナバルにいたりわが名をもてかれに安否をとひ
6 and said thus to the living: And peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
かくのごとくいへ願くは壽ながかれ爾平安なれ爾の家やすらかなれ爾が有ところの物みなやすらかなれ
7 And now, I have heard that you have shearers; now, the shepherds whom you have have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor has anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being in Carmel.
我爾が羊毛を剪せをるを聞り爾の牧羊者は我らとともにありしが我らこれを害せざりきまたかれらがカルメルにありしあひだかれらの物何も失たることなし
8 Ask your young men, and they declare [it] to you, and the young men find grace in your eyes, for we have come on a good day; please give that which your hand finds to your servants and to your son, to David.”
爾の少者に問へかれら爾につげん願くは少者をして爾のまへに恩をえせしめよ我ら吉日に來る請ふ爾の手にあるところの物を爾の僕らおよび爾の子ダビデにあたへよ
9 And the young men of David come in, and speak to Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David—and rest.
ダビデの少者いたりダビデの名をもって是らのことばの如くナバルに語りてやめり
10 And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, “Who [is] David, and who [is] the son of Jesse? Have servants been multiplied today who are each breaking away from his master?
ナバル、ダビデの僕にこたへていひけるはダビデは誰なるヱサイの子は誰なる此頃は主人をすてて遁逃るる僕おほし
11 And have I taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known where they [are] from?”
我あにわがパンと水およびわが羊毛をきる者のために殺したる肉をとりて何處よりか知れざるところの人々にあたふべけんや
12 And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.
ダビデの少者ふりかへりて其道に就き歸りきたりて此等の言のごとくダビデに告ぐ
13 And David says to his men, “Each gird on his sword”; and they each gird on his sword, and David also girds on his sword, and about four hundred men go up after David, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
是においてダビデ其從者に爾らおのおの劍を帶よと言ければ各劍をおぶダビデもまた劍をおぶ而して四百人ばかりダビデにしたがひて上り二百人は輜重のところに止れり
14 And one young man of the youths has declared [it] to Abigail wife of Nabal, saying, “Behold, David has sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flies on them;
時にひとりの少者ナバルの妻アビガルに告ていひけるは視よダビデ野より使者をおくりて我らの主人を祝したるに主人かれらを詈れり
15 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;
されどかの人々はわれらに甚だ善くなし我らは害をかうむらず亦われら野にありし時かれらとともにをるあひだはなにをも失なはざりき
16 they have been a wall to us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
我らが羊をかひて彼らとともにありしあひだ彼らは日夜われらの墻となれり
17 And now, know and consider what you do; for evil has been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.”
されば爾今しりてなにをなさんかを考ふべし其はわれらの主人および主人の全家に定めて害きたるべければなり主人は邪魔なる者にして語ることをえずと
18 And Abigail hurries, and takes two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted grain, and one hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and sets [them] on the donkeys.
アビガルいそぎパン二百酒の革嚢二旣に調へたる羊五烘麥五セア乾葡萄百球乾無花果の團塊二百を取て驢馬にのせ
19 And she says to her young men, “Pass over before me; behold, I am coming after you”; and she has not declared [it] to her husband Nabal;
其少者にいひけるは我先に進め視よ我爾らの後にゆくと然ど其夫ナバルには告げざりき
20 and it has come to pass, she is riding on the donkey and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and behold, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meets them.
アビガル驢馬にのりて山の僻處にくだれる時視よダビデと其從者かれにむかひてくだりければかれ其人々にあふ
21 And David said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this [one] has in the wilderness, and nothing has been looked after of all that he has, and he turns back to me evil for good;
ダビデかつていひけるは誠にわれ徒に此人の野にて有る物をみなまもりてその物をして何もうせざらしめたりかれは惡をもてわが善にむくゆ
22 thus God does to the enemies of David, and thus He adds, if I leave of all that he has until the morning light—of those sitting on the wall.”
ねがはくは神ダビデの敵にかくなしまた重ねてかくなしたまへ明晨までに我はナバルに屬する總ての物の中ひとりの男をものこさざるべし
23 And Abigail sees David, and hurries and comes down from off the donkey, and falls on her face before David, and bows herself to the earth,
アビガル、ダビデを視しとき急ぎ驢馬よりおりダビデのまへに地に俯して拝し
24 and falls at his feet and says, “On me, my lord, the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ear, and hear the words of your handmaid.
其足もとにふしていひけるはわが主よ此咎を我に歸したまへ但し婢をして爾の耳にいふことを得さしめ婢のことばを聽たまへ
25 Please do not let my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent;
ねがはくは我主この邪なる人ナバル(愚)の事を意に介むなかれ其はかれは其名の如くなればなりかれの名はナバルにしてかれは愚なりわれなんぢの婢はわが主のつかはせし少ものを見ざりき
26 and now, my lord, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, in that YHWH has withheld you from coming in with blood, and to save your hand from yourself—now let your enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil toward my lord.
さればわがしゆよヱホバはいくまたなんぢのたましひはいくヱホバなんぢのきたりて血をながしまた爾がみづから仇をむくゆるを阻めたまへりねがはくは爾の敵たるものおよびわが主に害をくはへんとする者はナバルのごとくなれ
27 And now, this blessing which your maidservant has brought to my lord—it has been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.
さて仕女がわが主にもちきたりしこの禮物をねがはくはわが主の足迹にあゆむ少者にたてまつらしめたまへ
28 Please bear with the transgression of your handmaid, for YHWH certainly makes a steadfast house for my lord; for my lord has fought the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you [all] your days.
請ふ婢の過をゆるしたまへヱホバ必ずわが主のために堅き家を立たまはん是はわが主ヱホバの軍に戰ふにより又世にいでてよりこのかた爾の身に惡きこと見えざるによりてなり
29 And man rises to pursue you and to seek your soul, and the soul of my lord has been bound in the bundle of life with your God YHWH; as for the soul of your enemies, He slings them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.
人たちて爾を追ひ爾の生命を求むれどもわが主の生命は爾の神ヱホバとともに生命の包裏の中に包みあり爾の敵の生命は投石器のうちより投すつる如くヱホバこれをなげすてたまはん
30 And it has been, when YHWH does to my lord according to all the good which He has spoken concerning you, and appointed you for leader over Israel,
ヱホバその爾につきて語りたまひし諸の善き事をわが主になして爾をイスラエルの主宰に命じたまはん時にいたりて
31 that this is not to you for a stumbling-block, and for an offense of heart to my lord—either to shed blood for nothing, or my lord’s restraining himself; and YHWH has done good to my lord, and you have remembered your handmaid.”
爾の故なくして血をながしたることも又わが主のみづから其仇をむくいし事も爾の憂となることなくまたわが主の心の責となることなかるべし但しヱホバのわが主に善くなしたまふ時にいたらばねがはくは婢を憶たまへ
32 And David says to Abigail, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me this day,
ダビデ、アビガルにいふ今日汝をつかはして我をむかへしめたまふイスラエルの神ヱホバは頌美べきかな
33 and blessed [is] your discretion, and blessed [are] you in that you have restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
また汝の智慧はほむべきかな又汝はほむべきかな汝今日わがきたりて血をながし自ら仇をむくゆるを止めたり
34 And yet, YHWH lives, God of Israel, who has kept me back from doing evil with you, for unless you had hurried, and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal until the morning light, of those sitting on the wall.”
わが汝を害するを阻めたまひしイスラエルの神ヱホバは生く誠にもし汝いそぎて我を來り迎ずば必ず翌朝までにナバルの所にひとりの男ものこらざりしならんと
35 And David receives from her hand that which she has brought to him, and he has said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and accept your face.”
ダビデ、アビガルの携へきたりし物を其手より受てかれにいひけるは安かに汝の家にかへりのぼれ視よわれ汝の言をききいれて汝の顔を立たり
36 And Abigail comes to Nabal, and behold, he has a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk to excess, and she has not declared anything to him, little or much, until the morning light.
かくてアビガル、ナバルにいたりて視にかれは家に酒宴を設け居たり王の酒宴のごとしナバルの心これがために樂みて甚だしく酔たればアビガル多少をいはず何をも翌朝までかれにつげざりき
37 And it comes to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declares these things to him, and his heart dies within him, and he has been as a stone.
朝にいたりナバルの酒のさめたる時妻かれに是等の事をつげたるに彼の心そのうちに死て其身石のごとくなりぬ
38 And it comes to pass [in] about ten days, that YHWH strikes Nabal and he dies,
十日ばかりありてヱホバ、ナバルを撃ちたまひければ死り
39 and David hears that Nabal [is] dead and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant has kept back from evil, and YHWH has turned back the wickedness of Nabal on his own head”; and David sends and speaks with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.
ダビデ、ナバルの死たるを聞ていひけるはヱホバは頌美べきかなヱホバわが蒙むりたる恥辱の訟を理してナバルにむくい僕を阻めて惡をおこなはざらしめたまふ其はヱホバ、ナバルの惡を其首に歸し賜へばなりと爰にダビデ、アビガルを妻にめとらんとて人を遣はしてこれとかたらはしむ
40 And the servants of David come to Abigail at Carmel, and speak to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you to himself for a wife.”
ダビデの僕カルメルにをるアビガルの許にいたりてこれにかたりいひけるはダビデ汝を妻にめとらんとて我らを汝に遣はすと
41 And she rises and bows herself—face to the earth—and says, “Behold, your handmaid [is] for a maidservant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
アビガルたちて地にふして拝しいひけるは視よ婢はわが主の僕等の足を洗ふ仕女なりと
42 And Abigail hurries and rises, and rides on the donkey; and [there are] five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goes after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife.
アビガルいそぎたちて驢馬に乗り五人の侍女とともにダビデの使者にしたがひゆきてダビデの妻となる
43 And David has taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and they are—even both of them—for wives to him;
ダビデまたヱズレルのアヒノアムを娶れり彼ら二人ダビデの妻となる
44 and Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
但しサウルはダビデの妻なりし其女ミカルをガリムの人なるライシの子パルテにあたへたり
