1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
エフライムの山地のラマタイムゾビムにエルカナと名くる人ありエフライテ人にしてエロハムの子なりエロハムはエリウの子エリウはトフの子トフはツフの子なり
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
エルカナに二人の妻ありてひとりの名をハンナといひひとりの名をペニンナといふペニンナには子ありたれどもハンナには子あらざりき
3 This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of Jehovah, were there.
是人毎歳に其邑をいで上りてシロにおいて萬軍のヱホバを拝み之に祭物をささぐ其處にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハスをりてヱホバに祭司たり
4 When the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and her daughters.
エルカナ祭物をささぐる時其妻ペニンナと其すべての息子女子にわかちあたへしが
5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion because he loved Hannah. Now Jehovah had kept her from conceiving.
ハンナには其倍をあたふ是はハンナを愛するが故なりされどヱホバ其孕みをとどめたまふ
6 And because Jehovah kept her from conceiving, her rival used to taunt her severely, to irritate her.
其敵もまた痛くこれをなやましてヱホバが其はらみをとどめしを怒らせんとす
7 And this went on year after year, as often as she went up to the house of Jehovah, she taunted her; therefore she would weep and refuse to eat.
歳々ハンナ、ヱホバの家にのぼるごとにエルカナかくなせしかばペニンナかくのごとく之をなやます是故にハンナないてものくはざりき
8 And her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? And why are you not eating? And why are you so sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるはハンナよ何故になくや何故にものくはざるや何故に心かなしむや我は汝のためには十人の子よりもまさるにあらずや
9 So Hannah got up after eating and drinking in Shiloh, and stood before Jehovah. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of Jehovah.
かくてシロにて食飮せしのちハンナたちあがれり時に祭司エリ、ヱホバの宮の柱の傍にある壇に坐す
10 And she was greatly distressed and prayed to Jehovah, and wept uncontrollably.
ハンナ心にくるしみヱホバにいのりて甚く哭き
11 And she vowed a vow and said, "Jehovah of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will set him before you as a Nazirite until the day of his death. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no razor will come on his head."
誓をなしていひけるは萬軍のヱホバよ若し誠に婢の惱をかへりみ我を憶ひ婢を忘れずして婢に男子をあたへたまはば我これを一生のあひだヱホバにささげ剃髮刀を其首にあつまじ
12 Now it happened, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli observed her mouth.
ハンナ、ヱホバのまへに長くいのりければエリ其口に目をとめたり
13 And she was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
ハンナ心の中にものいへば只唇うごくのみにて聲きこえず是故にエリこれを酔たる者と思ひ
14 So Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine, and go from before Jehovah."
之にいひけるは何時まで酔ひをるか爾の酒をされよ
15 And Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Jehovah.
ハンナこたへていひけるは主よ然るにあらず我は氣のわづらふ婦人にして葡萄酒をも濃き酒をものまず惟わが心をヱホバのまへに明せるなり
16 Do not count your servant as a worthless woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my distress and my anguish."
婢を邪なる女となすなかれ我はわが憂と悲みの多きよりして今までかたれり
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
エリ答へていひけるは安んじて去れ願くはイスラエルの神汝の求むる願ひを許したまはんことを
18 She said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way, and entered her quarters, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.
ハンナいひけるはねがはくは仕女の汝のまへに恩をえんことをと斯てこの婦さりて食ひ其顔ふたたび哀しげならざりき
19 They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.
是に於て彼等朝はやくおきてヱホバの前に拝をしかへりてラマの家にいたる而してエルカナ其つまハンナとまじはるヱホバ之をかへりみたまふ
20 It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of Jehovah."
ハンナ孕みてのち月みちて男子をうみ我これをヱホバに求めし故なりとて其名をサムエル(ヱホバに聽る)となづく
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice, and to redeem his vow and all the tithes of his land.
爰に其人エルカナ及び其家族みな上りて年々の祭物及び其誓ひし物をささぐ
22 But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, "Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and stay there forever."
然どもハンナは上らず其夫にいひけるは我はこの子の乳ばなれするに及びてのち之をたづさへゆきヱホバのまへにあらはれしめ恒にかしこに居らしめん
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him; only may Jehovah establish what you have said." So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
其夫エルカナ之にいひけるは汝の善と思ふところを爲し此子を乳ばなすまでとどまるべし只ヱホバの其言を確實ならしめ賜んことをねがふと斯くこの婦止まりて其子に乳をのませ其ちばなれするをまちしが
24 Then she took him to Shiloh along with a three-year old bull, and bread, and an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she came to the house of Jehovah in Shiloh, and the boy was with them. And they went before Jehovah and his father slaughtered the sacrifice, which he did annually to Jehovah. Then he brought the boy,
乳ばなせしとき牛三頭粉一斗酒一嚢を取り其子をたづさへてシロにあるヱホバの家にいたる其子なほ幼稚し
25 and he slaughtered the bull. And Hannah, the mother of the boy, brought him to Eli.
是に於て牛をころしその子をエリの許に携へゆきぬ
26 She said, "Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Jehovah.
ハンナいひけるは主よ汝のたましひは活くわれはかつてここにてなんぢの傍にたちヱホバにいのりし婦なり
27 For this child I prayed; and Jehovah has given me my petition which I asked of him.
われ此子のためにいのりしにヱホバわが求めしものをあたへたまへり
28 Therefore also I have lent him to Jehovah. As long as he lives he is lent to Jehovah." Then she left him there, and she worshipped before Jehovah.
此故にわれまたこれをヱホバにささげん其一生のあひだ之をヱホバにささぐ斯てかしこにてヱホバををがめり
