2 Kings 7
1 And Elisha says, “Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said YHWH: About this time tomorrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the Gate of Samaria.”
エリシヤ言けるは汝らヱホバの言を聽けヱホバかく言たまふ明日の今頃サマリヤの門にて麥粉一セアを一シケルに賣り大麥二セアを一シケルに賣にいたらん
2 And the captain whom the king has, by whose hand he has been supported, answers the man of God and says, “Behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof.”
時に一人の大將すなはち王のその手に依る者神の人に答へて言けるは由やヱホバ天に窓をひらきたまふも此事あるべけんやエリシヤいひけるは汝は汝の目をもて之を見ん然どこれを食ふことはあらじ
3 And four men have been leprous at the opening of the gate, and they say to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we have died?
茲に城邑の門の入口に四人の癩病人をりしが互に言けるは我儕なんぞ此に坐して死るを待べけんや
4 If we have said, We go into the city, then the famine [is] in the city and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we go down to the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.”
我ら若邑にいらんと言ば邑には食物竭てあれば我ら其處に死んもし又此に坐しをらば同く死ん然ば我儕ゆきてスリアの軍勢の所にいたらん彼ら我らを生しおかば我儕生ん若われらを殺すも死るのみなりと
5 And they rise in the twilight, to go to the camp of Aram, and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, there is not a man there,
すなはちスリア人の陣營にいたらんとて黄昏に起あがりしがスリアの陣營の邊にいたりて視に一人も其處にをる者なし
6 seeing YHWH has caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.”
是より先に主スリアの軍勢をして車の聲馬の聲大軍の聲を聞しめたまひしかば彼ら互に言けるは視よイスラエルの王われらに敵せんとてヘテ人の王等およびエジプトの王等を傭ひきたりて我らを襲はんとすと
7 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys—the camp as it [is]—and flee for their life.
すなはち黄昏に起て逃げその天幕と馬と驢馬とを棄て陣營をその儘になしおき生命を全うせんとて逃たり
8 And these lepers come to the extremity of the camp, and come into one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up silver, and gold, and garments from there, and go and hide; and they turn back and go into another tent, and lift up from there, and go and hide.
かの癩病人等陣營の邊に至りしが遂に一の天幕にいりて食飮し其處より金銀衣服を持さりて往てこれを隱し又きたりて他の天幕にいり其處よりも持さりて往てこれを隱せり
9 And they say to one another, “We are not doing right this day; it [is] a day of tidings, and we are keeping silent; and we have waited until the morning light, then punishment has found us; and now, come and we go in and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
かくて彼等互に言けるは我儕のなすところ善らず今日は好消息ある日なるに我儕は默し居る若夜明まで待ば菑害身におよばん然ば來れ往て王の眷屬に告んと
10 And they come in, and call to the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, “We have come to the camp of Aram, and behold, there is no man or sound of man there, but the bound horse, and the bound donkey, and tents as they [are].”
すなはち來りて邑の門を守る者を呼びこれに告て言けるは我儕スリア人の陣營にいたりて視に其處には一人も居る者なく亦人の聲もせず但馬のみ繋ぎてあり驢馬のみ繋ぎてあり天幕は其儘なりと
11 And he calls the gatekeepers, and they declare [it] to the house of the king within.
是において門を守る者呼はりてこれを王の家の中に報せたれば
12 And the king rises by night and says to his servants, “Now let me declare to you that which the Arameans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they go out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and we enter into the city.”
王夜の中に興いでてその臣下に言けるは我スリア人が我儕になせる所の如何を汝等に示さん彼等はわれらの饑たるを知が故に陣營を去て野に隱る是はイスラエル人邑を出なば生擒て邑に推いらんと言て然せるなり
13 And one of his servants answers and says, “Then please let them take five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it—behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed—and we send and see.”
その臣下の一人對へて言けるは請ふ尚遺されて邑に存れる馬の中五匹を取しめよ我儕人を遣て窺はしめん視よ是等は邑の中に遺れるイスラエルの全群衆のごとし視よ是等は滅び亡たるイスラエルの全群衆のごとくなりと
14 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sends [them] after the camp of Aram, saying, “Go, and see.”
是において二輛の戰車とその馬を取り王すなはち往て見よといひて人を遣はしてスリアの軍勢の跡を尾しめたれば
15 And they go after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Arameans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers return and declare [it] to the king.
彼らその跡を尾てヨルダンにいたりしが途には凡てスリア人が狼狽逃る時に棄たる衣服と器具盈りその使者かへりてこれを王に告ければ
16 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
民いでてスリア人の陣營を掠めたり斯在しかば麥粉一セアは一シケルとなり大麥二セアは一シケルと成るヱホバの言のごとし
17 And the king has appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke in the coming down of the king to him,
爰に王その手に依ところの彼大將を立て門を司らしめたるに民門にて彼を踐たれば死り即ち神の人が王のおのれに下り來し時に言たる言のごとし
18 indeed, it comes to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time tomorrow, in the Gate of Samaria”;
又神の人が王につげて明日の今頃サマリヤの門にて大麥二セアを一シケルに賣り麥粉二セアを一シケルに賣にいたらんと言しごとくに成ぬ
19 and the captain answers the man of God and says, “And behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof”;
彼大將その時に神の人にこたへてヱホバ天に窓をひらきたまふも此事あるべけんやと言たりしかば答へて汝目をもてこれを見べけれどもこれを食ふことはあらじと言たりしが
20 and it comes to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies.
そのごとくになりぬ即ち民門にてかれを踐て死しめたり
