1 Samuel 6
1 And the Ark of YHWH is in the field of the Philistines [for] seven months,
ヱホバの櫃七月のあひだペリシテ人の國にあり
2 and the Philistines call for priests and for diviners, saying, “What do we do to the Ark of YHWH? Let us know with what we send it to its place.”
ペリシテ人祭司と卜筮師をよびていひけるは我らヱホバの櫃をいかがせんや如何にして之をもとの所にかへすべきか我らにつげよ
3 And they say, “If you are sending the Ark of the God of Israel away, you do not send it away empty; for you certainly send back a guilt-offering to Him; then you are healed, and it has been known to you why His hand does not turn aside from you.”
答へけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をかへすときはこれを空しくかへすなかれ必らず彼に過祭をなすべし然なさば汝ら愈ことをえ且彼の手の汝らをはなれざる故を知にいたらん
4 And they say, “What [is] the guilt-offering which we send back to Him?” And they say, “The number of the princes of the Philistines—five golden lumps, and five golden muroids—for one plague [is] to you all, and to your princes,
人々いひけるは如何なる過祭を彼になすべきや答へけるはペリシテ人の諸君主の數にしたがひて五の金の腫物と五の金の鼠をつくれ是は汝ら皆と汝らの諸伯におよべる災は一なるによる
5 and you have made images of your lumps, and images of your muroids that are corrupting the land, and have given glory to the God of Israel; it may be [that] He lightens His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land;
汝らの腫物の像および地をあらす鼠の像をつくりイスラエルの神に榮光を皈すべし庶幾はその手を汝等およびなんぢらの神と汝等の地にくはふることを軽くせん
6 and why do you harden your heart as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? Do they not—when He has rolled Himself on them—send them away, and they go?
汝らなんぞエジプト人とパロの其心を頑にせしごとくおのれの心をかたくなにするや神かれらの中に數度其力をしめせしのち彼ら民をゆかしめ民つひにさりしにあらずや
7 And now, take and make one new cart, and two suckling cows, on which a yoke has not gone up, and you have bound the cows in the cart, and caused their young ones to turn back from after them to the house,
されば今あたらしき車一輛をつくり乳牛のいまだ軛をつけざるもの二頭をとり其牛を車に繋ぎ其犢をはなして家につれゆき
8 and you have taken the Ark of YHWH, and put it on the cart, and the vessels of gold which you have returned to Him—a guilt-offering—you put in a coffer on its side, and have sent it away, and it has gone;
ヱホバの櫃をとりて之を其車に載せ汝らが過祭として彼になす金の製作物を檟にをさめて其傍におき之をおくりて去らしめ
9 and you have seen if it goes up the way of its own border, to Beth-Shemesh—He has done this great evil to us; and if not, then we have known that His hand has not come against us; it has been an accident to us.”
しかして見よ若し其境のみちよりベテシメシにのぼらばこの大なる災を我らになせるものは彼なり若ししかせずば我等をうちしは彼の手にあらずしてそのことの偶然なりしをしるべし
10 And the men do so, and take two suckling cows, and bind them in the cart, and they shut up their young ones in the house;
人々つひに斯なし二つの乳牛をとりて之を車につなぎその犢を室にとぢこめ
11 and they place the Ark of YHWH on the cart, and the coffer, and the golden muroids, and the images of their lumps.
ヱホバの櫃および金の鼠と其腫物の像ををさめたる檟を車に載す
12 And the cows go straight in the way, on the way to Beth-Shemesh, they have gone in one highway, going and lowing, and have not turned aside right or left; and the princes of the Philistines are going after them to the border of Beth-Shemesh.
牝牛直にあゆみてベテシメシの路をゆき鳴つつ大路をすすみゆきて右左にまがらずペリシテ人の君主ベテシメシの境まで其うしろにしたがひゆけり
13 And the Beth-Shemeshites are reaping their wheat-harvest in the valley, and they lift up their eyes, and see the Ark, and rejoice to see [it].
時にベテシメシ人谷に麥を刈り居たりしが目をあげて其櫃をみ之を見るをよろこべり
14 And the cart has come into the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite, and stands there, and there [is] a great stone, and they cleave the wood of the cart, and they have caused the cows to ascend [as] a burnt-offering to YHWH.
車ベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にいりて其處にとどまる此に大なる石あり人々車の木を劈り其牝牛を燔祭としてヱホバにささげたり
15 And the Levites have taken down the Ark of YHWH, and the coffer which [is] with it, in which [are] the vessels of gold, and place [them] on the great stone; and the men of Beth-Shemesh have caused burnt-offerings to ascend and sacrifice sacrifices in that day to YHWH;
レビの人ヱホバの櫃とこれとともなる檟の金の製作物ををさめたる者をとりおろし之を其大石のうへにおくしかしてベテシメシ人此日ヱホバに燔祭をそなへ犠牲をささげたり
16 and the five princes of the Philistines have seen [it], and return [to] Ekron, on that day.
ペリシテ人の五人の君主これを見て同じ日にエクロンにかへれり
17 And these [are] the golden lumps which the Philistines have sent back—a guilt-offering to YHWH: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;
さてペリシテ人が過祭としてヱホバにたせし金の腫物はこれなり即ちアシドドのために一ガザのために一アシケロンのために一ガテのために一エクロンのために一なりき
18 and the golden muroids—the number of all the cities of the Philistines, for the five princes, from the fortified city even to a village of the open place, and to the great stone [[or great meadow]] on which they placed the Ark of YHWH—[are] in the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite to this day.
また金の鼠は城邑と郷里をいはず凡て五人の君主に屬するペリシテ人の邑の數にしたがひて造れりヱホバの櫃をおろせし大石今日にいたるまでベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にあり
19 And He strikes among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the Ark of YHWH, indeed, He strikes seventy men [out] of fifty thousand men [[or fifty thousand and seventy men]] among the people; and the people mourn, because YHWH struck among the people [with] a great striking.
ベテシメシの人々ヱホバの櫃をうかがひしによりヱホバこれをうちたまふ即ち民の中七十人をうてりヱホバ民をうちて大にこれをころしたまひしかば民なきさけべり
20 And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, “Who is able to stand before YHWH, this holy God? And to whom does He go up from us?”
ベテシメシ人いひけるは誰かこの聖き神たるヱホバのまへに立つことをえんヱホバ我らをはなれて何人のところにのぼりゆきたまふべきや
21 And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have sent back the Ark of YHWH; come down, take it up with you.”
かくて使者をキリアテヤリムの人に遣はしていひけるはペリシテ人ヱホバの櫃をかへしたれば汝らくだりて之を汝らの所に携へのぼるべし
