1 Samuel 9
1 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor,
茲にベニヤミンの人にてキシと名くる力の大なるものありキシはアビエルの子アビニルはゼロンの子ゼロンはベコラテの子ベコラテはアビヤの子アビヤはベニヤミンの子なり
2 and he has a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and handsome, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel more handsome than he—from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
キシにサウルと名くる子あり壯にして美はしイスラエルの子孫の中に彼より美はしき者たく肩より上民のいづれの人よりも高し
3 And the donkeys of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish says to his son Saul, “Now take one of the young men with you, and rise, go, seek the donkeys.”
サウルの父キシの驢馬失ぬキシ其子サウルにいひけるは一人の僕をともなひ起ちてゆき驢馬を尋ねよ
4 And he passes over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passes over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found [them]; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passes over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found [them].
サウル、ニフライムの山地を通り過ぎシヤリシヤの地を通りすぐれども見あたらずシヤリムの地を通りすぐれども居らずベニヤミンの地をとほりすぐれども見あたらず
5 They have come to the land of Zuph, and Saul has said to his young man who [is] with him, “Come, and we return, lest my father leave off from the donkeys, and has been sorrowful for us.”
かれらツフの地にいたれる時サウル其ともなへる僕にいひけるはいざ還らん恐らくはわが父驢馬の事を措て我等の事を思ひ煩はん
6 And he says to him, “Now behold, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honored; all that he speaks certainly comes; now, we go there, it may be he declares to us our way on which we have gone.”
僕これにいひけるは此邑に神の人あり尊き人にして其言ふところは皆必らず成る我らかしこにいたらんかれ我らがゆくべき路をわれらにしめすことあらん
7 And Saul says to his young man, “And behold, we go, and what do we bring to the man? For the bread has gone from our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God—what [is] with us?”
サウル僕にいひけるは我らもしゆかば何を其人におくらんか器のパンは旣に罄て神の人におくるべき禮物あらず何かあるや
8 And the young man adds to answer Saul and says, “Behold, there is found a fourth of a shekel of silver with me: and I have given to the man of God, and he has declared our way to us.”
僕またサウルにこたへていひけるは視よわが手に銀一シケルの四分の一あり我これを神の人にあたへて我らに路をしめさしめんと
9 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God: “Come and we go to the seer.” For the “prophet” of today is formerly called “the seer.”
昔しイスラエルにおいては人神にとはんとてゆく時はいざ先見者にゆかんといへり其は今の預言者は昔しは先見者とよばれたればなり
10 And Saul says to his young man, “Your word [is] good; come, we go”; and they go to the city where the man of God [is].
サウル僕にいひけるは善くいへりいざゆかんとて神の人のをる邑におもむけり
11 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, “Is the seer in this [place]?”
かれら邑にいる坂をのぼれる時童女數人の水くみにいづるにあひ之にいひけるは先見者は此にをるや
12 And they answer them and say, “He is; behold, before you! Hurry, now, for he has come to the city today, for the people [have] a sacrifice today in a high place.
答ていひけるはをる視よ汝のまへにをる急ぎゆけ今日民崇邱にて祭をなすにより彼けふ邑にきたれり
13 At your going into the city so you find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat until his coming, for he blesses the sacrifice; afterward, they who are called eat, and now, go up, for you should find him at this time.”
汝ら邑にる時かれが崇邱にのぼりて食に就くまへに直ちにかれにあはん其は彼まづ祭品を祝してしかるのち招かれたる者食ふべきに因りかれが來るまでは民食はざるなり故に汝らのぼれ今かれにあはんと
14 And they go up to the city; they are coming into the midst of the city, and behold, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
かれら邑にのぼりて邑のなかにいるとき視よサムエル崇邱にのぼらんとてかれらにむかひて出きたりぬ
15 and YHWH had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
ヱホバ、サウルのきたる一日まへにサムエルの耳につげていひたまひけるは
16 “At this time tomorrow, I send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin—and you have anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he has saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry has come to Me.”
明日いまごろ我ベニヤミンの地より一箇の人を汝につかはさん汝かれに膏を注ぎてわが民イスラエルの長となせかれわが民をペリシテ人の手より救ひいださんわが民のさけび我に達せしにより我是をかへりみるなり
17 When Samuel has seen Saul, then YHWH has answered him, “Behold, the man of whom I have spoken to you; this [one] restrains My people.”
サムエル、サウルを見るときヱホバこれにいひたまひけるは視よわが汝につげしは此人なり是人わが民ををさむべし
18 And Saul draws near to Samuel in the midst of the gate and says, “Please declare to me where this seer’s house [is].”
サウル門の中にてサムエルにちかづきいひけるは先見者の家はいづくにあるや請ふ我につげよ
19 And Samuel answers Saul and says, “I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and you have eaten with me today, and I have sent you away in the morning, and all that [is] in your heart I declare to you.
サムエル、サウルにこたへていひけるは我はすなはち先見者なり汝わがまへにゆきて崇邱にのぼれ汝ら今日我とともに食す可し明日われ汝をさらしめ汝の心にあることを悉く汝にしめさん
20 And as for the donkeys which are lost from you [for] three days as of today, do not set your heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel? Is it not to you and to all your father’s house?”
三日まへに失たる汝の驢馬は旣に見あたりたれば之をおもふなかれ抑もイスラエルの總ての寶は誰の者なるや即ち汝と汝の父の家のものならずや
21 And Saul answers and says, “Am I not a Benjamite—of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? And why have you spoken to me according to this word?”
サウルこたへていひけるは我はイスラエルの支派の最も小き支派なるベニヤミンの人にしてわが族はベニヤミンの支派の諸の族の最も小き者に非やなんぞ斯る事を我にかたるや
22 And Samuel takes Saul, and his young man, and brings them into the chamber, and gives a place to them at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
サムエル、サウルと其僕をみちびきて堂にいり招かれたる三十人ばかりの者の中の最も上に坐せしむ
23 And Samuel says to the cook, “Give the portion which I gave to you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.”
サムエル庖人にいひけるはわが汝にわたして汝の許におけといひし分をもちきたれ
24 (And the cook lifts up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and sets [it] before Saul), and he says, “Behold, that which is left; [it] is set before your face—eat, for it is kept for you for this appointed time, [at my] saying, I have called the people”; and Saul eats with Samuel on that day.
庖人肩と肩に屬る者をとりあげて之をサウルのまへに置くサムエルいひけるは視よ是は存へおきたる物なり汝のまへにおきて食へ其はわれ民をまねきし時よりこれを汝の爲にたくはへおきたればなりかくてサウル此日サムエルとともに食せり
25 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaks with Saul on the roof.
崇邱をくだりて邑にいりし時サムエル、サウルとともに屋背の上にてものがたる
26 And they rise early, and it comes to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calls to Saul, on the roof, saying, “Rise, and I send you away”; and Saul rises, and they go out, both of them—he and Samuel, outside.
かれら早くおく即ちサムエル曙に屋背の上なるサウルをよびていけるは起よわれ汝をかへさんとサウルすなはちおきあがるサウルとサムエルともに外にいで
27 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel has said to Saul, “Say to the young man that he should pass on before us (and he passes on), and you, stand at this time, and I cause you to hear the word of God.”
邑の極處にくだれるときサムエル、サウルにいひけるは僕に命じて我等の先にゆかしめよ(僕先にゆく)しかして汝暫くとどまれ我汝に神の言をしめさん
