< 1 Samuel 26 >

1 And the Ziphites come to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?”
ジフ人ギベアにきたりサウルの許にいたりてひけるはダビデは曠野のまへなるハキラの山にかくれをるにあらずやと
2 And Saul rises, and goes down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [are] three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
サウルすなはち起ちジフの野にダビデを尋ねんとイスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人をしたがへてジフの野にくだる
3 And Saul encamps in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he sees that Saul has come into the wilderness after him;
サウルは曠野のまへなるハキラの山において路のほとりに陣を取るダビデは曠野に居てサウルのおのれをおふて曠野にきたるをさとりければ
4 and David sends spies, and knows that Saul has come to Nachon,
ダビデ斥候を出してサウルの誠に來しをしれり
5 and David rises, and comes to the place where Saul has encamped, and David sees the place where Saul has lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping around him.
ここにおいてダビデたちてサウルの陣をとれるところにいたりサウルおよび其軍の長ネルの子アブネルの寝たるところを見たりすなはちサウルは車營の中に寝ぬ民其まはりに陣をはれり
6 And David answers and says to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who goes down with me to Saul, to the camp?” And Abishai says, “I go down with you.”
ダビデ答へてヘテ人アヒメレクおよびゼルヤの子にしてヨアブの兄弟なるアビシヤイにいひけるは誰か我とともにサウルの陣にくだらんかとアビシヤイいふ我汝とともに下らん
7 And David comes—and Abishai—by night to the people, and behold, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear is pressed into the earth by his pillow, and Abner and the people are lying around him.
ダビデとアビシヤイすなはち夜にいりて民の所にいたるに視よサウルは車營のうちに寝臥し其槍地にさして枕邊にありアブネルと民は其まはりに寝たり
8 And Abishai says to David, “God has shut up your enemy into your hand today; and now, please let me strike him with [the] spear, even into the earth, at once—and not repeat [it] to him.”
アビシヤイ、ダビデにいひけるは神今日爾の敵を爾の手にわたしたまふ請ふいま我に槍をもてかれを一度地にさしとほさしめよ再びするにおよばじ
9 And David says to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who has put forth his hand against the anointed of YHWH and been acquitted?”
ダビデ、アビシヤイにいふ彼をころすなかれ誰かヱホバの膏そそぎし者に敵して其手をのべて罪なからんや
10 And David says, “YHWH lives; except YHWH strikes him, or his day comes that he has died, or he goes down into battle and has been consumed—
ダビデまたいひけるはヱホバは生くヱホバかれを撃たまはんあるひはその死ぬる日來らんあるひは戰ひにくだりて死うせん
11 far be it from me, by YHWH, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH; and now, please take the spear which [is] by his pillow, and the jug of water, and we go away.”
わがヱホバのあぶらそそぎしものに敵して手をのぶることはきはめて善らずヱホバ禁じたまふされどいま請ふ爾そのまくらもとの槍と水の瓶をとれしかして我らさりゆかんと
12 And David takes the spear, and the jug of water by the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] YHWH has fallen on them.
ダビデ、サウルの枕邊より槍と水の瓶を取りてかれらさりゆきしが誰も見ず誰もしらず誰も目を醒さざりき其はかれら皆眠り居たればなり即ちヱホバかれらをふかく睡らしめたまふ
13 And David passes over to the other side, and stands on the top of the hill far off—great [is] the place between them;
かくてダビデは彼旁にわたりて遥に山の頂にたてり彼と此とのへだたり大なり
14 and David calls to the people, and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answers and says, “Who [are] you [who] have called to the king?”
ダビデ民とネルの子アブネルによばはりいひけるはアブネルよ爾こたへざるかアブネルこたへていふ王をよぶ爾はたれなるや
15 And David says to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? But why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people had come in to destroy the king, your lord.
ダビデ、アブネルにいひけるは爾は勇士ならずやイスラエルの中にて誰か爾に如ものあらんしかるに爾なんぞ爾の主なる王をまもらざるや民のひとり爾の主なる王を殺さんとていりぬ
16 This thing which you have done is not good; YHWH lives, but you [are] sons of death, in that you have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of YHWH; and now, see where the king’s spear [is], and the jug of water which [is] by his pillow.”
爾がなせる此事よからずヱホバは生くなんぢらの罪死にあたれり爾らヱホバの膏そそぎし爾らの主をまもらざればなり今王の槍と王の枕邊にありし水の瓶はいづくにあるかを見よ
17 And Saul discerns the voice of David and says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David says, “My voice, my lord, O king!”
サウル、ダビデの聲をしりていひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は爾の聲なるかダビデいひけるは王わが主よわが聲なり
18 And he says, “Why [is] this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? For what have I done, and what evil [is] in my hand?
ダビデまたいひけるはわが主なにゆゑに斯くその僕をおふや我なにをなせしや何の惡き事わが手にあるや
19 And now, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if YHWH has moved you against me, let Him accept a present; but if [merely] the sons of men, they [are] cursed before YHWH, for today they have cast me out from being admitted into the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve other gods.
王わが主よ請ふいま僕の言を聽きたまへ若しヱホバ爾を我に敵せしめたまふならばねがはくはヱホバ禮物をうけたまへされど若し人ならばねがはくは其人々ヱホバのまへにのろはれよ其は彼等爾ゆきて他の神につかへよといひて今日我を追ひヱホバの產業に連なることをえざらしむるが故なり
20 And now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH, for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursues the partridge in mountains.”
ねがはくは我血をしてヱホバのまへをはなれて地におちしむるなかれそは人の山にて鷓鴣をおふがごとくイスラエルの王一の蚤をたづねにいでたればなり
21 And Saul says, “I have sinned; return, my son David, for I do evil to you no more, because that my soul has been precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have acted foolishly, and err very greatly.”
サウルいひけるは我罪ををかせりわが子ダビデよ歸れわが生命今日爾の目に寶と見なされたる故により我々かさねて爾に害を加へざるべし嗚呼われ愚なることをなして甚だしく過てり
22 And David answers and says, “Behold, the king’s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;
ダビデこたへていひけるは王よ槍を視よ請ひとりの少者をしてわたりてこれを取しめよ
23 and YHWH turns each back to his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that YHWH has given you into [my] hand today, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH,
ねがはくはヱホバおのおのに其義と眞實とにしたがひて報いたまへ共はヱホバ今日爾をわが手にわたしたまひしに我ヱホバの受膏者に敵してわが手をのぶることをせざればなり
24 and behold, as your soul has been great in my eyes this day, so is my soul great in the eyes of YHWH, and He delivers me out of all distress.”
爾の生命を今日わがおもんぜしごとくねがはくはヱホバわが生命をおもんじて諸の艱難のうちより我をすくひいだしたまへ
25 And Saul says to David, “Blessed [are] you, my son David, also working you work, and also prevailing you prevail.” And David goes on his way, and Saul has turned back to his place.
サウル、ダビデにいひけるはわが子ダビデよ爾はほむべきかな爾大なる事を爲さん亦かならず勝をえんとしかしてダビデは其道にさりサウルはおのれの所にかへれり
