2 Kings 7
1 Elisha said, "Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah, 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for 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 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, "Look, if Jehovah made windows in heaven, could this thing be?" He said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
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 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. And they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?
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 say, 'We will enter into the city,' then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Arameans. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die."
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 They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Arameans. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, look, there was no 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 For Jehovah had made the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on 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 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled 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 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.
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 Then they said one to another, "We aren't doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."
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 So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city; and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, look, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were."
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 The gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the king's household 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 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will now show you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get 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 answered, "Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Look, they are like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us 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 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, 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 They went after them to the Jordan; and look, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told 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 The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.
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 The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down 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 It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time 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 that captain answered the man of God, and said, "Now, look, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?" and he said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
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 It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
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
