1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
イスラエル人ペリシテ人にいであひて戰はんとしエベネゼルの邊に陣をとりペリシテ人はアベクに陣をとる
2 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
ペリシテ人イスラエル人にむかひて陣列をなせり戰ふにおよびてイスラエル人ペリシテ人のまへにやぶるペリシテ人戰場において其軍四千人ばかりを殺せり
3 And the people come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves us out of the hand of our enemies.”
民陣營にいたるにイスラエルの長老曰けるはヱホバ何故に今日我等をペリシテ人のまへにやぶりたまひしやヱホバの契約の櫃をシロより此にたづさへ來らん其櫃われらのうちに來らば我らを敵の手よりすくひいだすことあらんと
4 And the people send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
かくて民人をシロにつかはしてケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバの契約の櫃を其處よりたづさへきたらしむ時にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス神の契約のはことともに彼處にありき
5 And it comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.
ヱホバの契約の櫃陣營にいたりしときイスラエル人皆大によばはりさけびければ地なりひびけり
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has come into the camp.
ペリシテ人喊呼の聲を聞ていひけるはヘブル人の陣營に起れる此大なるさけびの聲は何ぞやと遂にヱホバの櫃の其陣營にいたれるを知る
7 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this before.
ペリシテ人おそれていひけるは神陣營にいたる又いひけるは鳴呼われら禍なるかな今にいたるまで斯ることなかりき
8 Woe to us, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
ああ我等禍なるかな誰かわれらを是らの強き神の手よりすくひいださんや此等の神は昔し諸の災を以てエジプト人を曠野に撃し者なり
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”
ペリシテ人よ強くなり豪傑のごとく爲せヘブル人がかつて汝らに事へしごとく汝らこれに事ふるなかれ豪傑のごとく爲して戰へよ
10 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;
かくてペリシテ人戰ひしかばイスラエル人やぶれて各々其天幕に逃かへる戰死はなはだ多くイスラエルの歩兵の仆れし者三萬人なりき
11 and the Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
又神の櫃は奪はれエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス殺さる
12 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head;
是日ベニヤミンの一人軍中より走來り其衣を裂き土をかむりてシロにいたる
13 and he comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries out.
其いたれる時エリ道の傍に壇に坐して觀望居たり其心に神の櫃のことを思ひ煩らひたればなり其人いたり邑にて人々に告ければ邑こぞりてさけびたり
14 And Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells Eli.
エリ此呼號の聲をききていひけるは是喧嘩の聲は何なるやと其人いそぎきたりてエリにつぐ
15 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
時にエリ九十八歳にして其目かたまりて見ることあたはず
16 And the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been the matter, my son?”
其人エリにいひけるは我は軍中より來れるもの我今日軍中より逃れたりエリいひけるは吾子よ事いかん
17 And he who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”
使人答へていひけるはイスラエル人ペリシテ人の前に逃げ且民の中に大なる戰死ありまた汝の二人の子ホフニとピネハスは殺され神の櫃は奪はれたり
18 And it comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] forty years.
神の櫃のことを演しときエリ其壇より仰けに門の傍におち頸をれて死ねり是はかれ老て身重かりければなり其イスラエルを鞫しは四十年なりき
19 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on her.
エリの媳ピネハスの妻孕みて子產ん時ちかかりしが神の櫃の奪はれしと舅と夫の死にしとの傳言を聞しかば其痛みおこりきたり身をかがめて子を產り
20 And at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
其死なんとする時傍にたてる婦人これにいひけるは懼るるなかれ汝男子を生りと然ども答へず又かへりみず
21 and she calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
只榮光イスラエルをさりぬといひて其子をイカボデ(榮なし)と名く是は神の櫃奪はれしによりまた舅と夫の故に因るなり
22 And she says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
またいひけるは榮光イスラエルをさりぬ神の櫃うばはれたればなり
