1 Samuel 25
1 Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
爰にサムエル死にしかばイスラエル人皆あつまりて之をかなしみラマにあるその家にてこれを葬むれりダビデたちてバランの野にくだる
2 There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
マオンに一箇の人あり其所有はカルメルにあり其人甚だ大なる者にして三千の羊と一千の山羊をもちしがカルメルにて羊の毛を剪り居たり
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; and the man was a Calebite.
其人の名はナバルといひ其妻の名はアビガルといふアビガルは賢く顔美き婦なりされど其夫は剛愎にして其爲すところ惡かりきかれはカレブの人なり
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
ダビデ野にありてナバルが其羊の毛を剪りをるを聞き
5 So David sent ten young men, and said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
ダビデ十人の少者を遣はすダビデ其少者にいひけるはカルメルにのぼりナバルにいたりわが名をもてかれに安否をとひ
6 Thus you are to say to my brother, 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
かくのごとくいへ願くは壽ながかれ爾平安なれ爾の家やすらかなれ爾が有ところの物みなやすらかなれ
7 And now, look, I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us in the wilderness, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.
我爾が羊毛を剪せをるを聞り爾の牧羊者は我らとともにありしが我らこれを害せざりきまたかれらがカルメルにありしあひだかれらの物何も失たることなし
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.'"
爾の少者に問へかれら爾につげん願くは少者をして爾のまへに恩をえせしめよ我ら吉日に來る請ふ爾の手にあるところの物を爾の僕らおよび爾の子ダビデにあたへよ
9 So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.
ダビデの少者いたりダビデの名をもって是らのことばの如くナバルに語りてやめり
10 Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.
ナバル、ダビデの僕にこたへていひけるはダビデは誰なるヱサイの子は誰なる此頃は主人をすてて遁逃るる僕おほし
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my wine, and my meat that I have slaughtered for the shearers of my sheep, and give it to men who I do not know where they come from?"
我あにわがパンと水およびわが羊毛をきる者のために殺したる肉をとりて何處よりか知れざるところの人々にあたふべけんや
12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
ダビデの少者ふりかへりて其道に就き歸りきたりて此等の言のごとくダビデに告ぐ
13 David said to his men, "Every man put on his sword." So every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
是においてダビデ其從者に爾らおのおの劍を帶よと言ければ各劍をおぶダビデもまた劍をおぶ而して四百人ばかりダビデにしたがひて上り二百人は輜重のところに止れり
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.
時にひとりの少者ナバルの妻アビガルに告ていひけるは視よダビデ野より使者をおくりて我らの主人を祝したるに主人かれらを詈れり
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
されどかの人々はわれらに甚だ善くなし我らは害をかうむらず亦われら野にありし時かれらとともにをるあひだはなにをも失なはざりき
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
我らが羊をかひて彼らとともにありしあひだ彼らは日夜われらの墻となれり
17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him."
されば爾今しりてなにをなさんかを考ふべし其はわれらの主人および主人の全家に定めて害きたるべければなり主人は邪魔なる者にして語ることをえずと
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
アビガルいそぎパン二百酒の革嚢二旣に調へたる羊五烘麥五セア乾葡萄百球乾無花果の團塊二百を取て驢馬にのせ
19 She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.
其少者にいひけるは我先に進め視よ我爾らの後にゆくと然ど其夫ナバルには告げざりき
20 It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that look, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
アビガル驢馬にのりて山の僻處にくだれる時視よダビデと其從者かれにむかひてくだりければかれ其人々にあふ
21 Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.
ダビデかつていひけるは誠にわれ徒に此人の野にて有る物をみなまもりてその物をして何もうせざらしめたりかれは惡をもてわが善にむくゆ
22 God do so to David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."
ねがはくは神ダビデの敵にかくなしまた重ねてかくなしたまへ明晨までに我はナバルに屬する總ての物の中ひとりの男をものこさざるべし
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got off from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground at his feet.
アビガル、ダビデを視しとき急ぎ驢馬よりおりダビデのまへに地に俯して拝し
24 And she said, "On me, my lord, be the guilt; and please let your servant speak to you directly, and hear the words of your servant.
其足もとにふしていひけるはわが主よ此咎を我に歸したまへ但し婢をして爾の耳にいふことを得さしめ婢のことばを聽たまへ
25 Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom you sent.
ねがはくは我主この邪なる人ナバル(愚)の事を意に介むなかれ其はかれは其名の如くなればなりかれの名はナバルにしてかれは愚なりわれなんぢの婢はわが主のつかはせし少ものを見ざりき
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
さればわがしゆよヱホバはいくまたなんぢのたましひはいくヱホバなんぢのきたりて血をながしまた爾がみづから仇をむくゆるを阻めたまへりねがはくは爾の敵たるものおよびわが主に害をくはへんとする者はナバルのごとくなれ
27 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
さて仕女がわが主にもちきたりしこの禮物をねがはくはわが主の足迹にあゆむ少者にたてまつらしめたまへ
28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.
請ふ婢の過をゆるしたまへヱホバ必ずわが主のために堅き家を立たまはん是はわが主ヱホバの軍に戰ふにより又世にいでてよりこのかた爾の身に惡きこと見えざるによりてなり
29 Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.
人たちて爾を追ひ爾の生命を求むれどもわが主の生命は爾の神ヱホバとともに生命の包裏の中に包みあり爾の敵の生命は投石器のうちより投すつる如くヱホバこれをなげすてたまはん
30 It shall come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,
ヱホバその爾につきて語りたまひし諸の善き事をわが主になして爾をイスラエルの主宰に命じたまはん時にいたりて
31 that this will have no cause of grief or a troubled conscience for my lord, that blood was shed without cause and that my lord has gained victory by his own hand. And when the LORD has done well with my lord, then remember your servant."
爾の故なくして血をながしたることも又わが主のみづから其仇をむくいし事も爾の憂となることなくまたわが主の心の責となることなかるべし但しヱホバのわが主に善くなしたまふ時にいたらばねがはくは婢を憶たまへ
32 David said to Abigail, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.
ダビデ、アビガルにいふ今日汝をつかはして我をむかへしめたまふイスラエルの神ヱホバは頌美べきかな
33 Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
また汝の智慧はほむべきかな又汝はほむべきかな汝今日わがきたりて血をながし自ら仇をむくゆるを止めたり
34 For indeed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."
わが汝を害するを阻めたまひしイスラエルの神ヱホバは生く誠にもし汝いそぎて我を來り迎ずば必ず翌朝までにナバルの所にひとりの男ものこらざりしならんと
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. Look, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request."
ダビデ、アビガルの携へきたりし物を其手より受てかれにいひけるは安かに汝の家にかへりのぼれ視よわれ汝の言をききいれて汝の顔を立たり
36 Abigail came to Nabal; and look, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
かくてアビガル、ナバルにいたりて視にかれは家に酒宴を設け居たり王の酒宴のごとしナバルの心これがために樂みて甚だしく酔たればアビガル多少をいはず何をも翌朝までかれにつげざりき
37 It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
朝にいたりナバルの酒のさめたる時妻かれに是等の事をつげたるに彼の心そのうちに死て其身石のごとくなりぬ
38 It happened about ten days after, that the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
十日ばかりありてヱホバ、ナバルを撃ちたまひければ死り
39 And David heard, and he said, "Blessed is the LORD, who has taken my side in the matter of Nabal's insult, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.
ダビデ、ナバルの死たるを聞ていひけるはヱホバは頌美べきかなヱホバわが蒙むりたる恥辱の訟を理してナバルにむくい僕を阻めて惡をおこなはざらしめたまふ其はヱホバ、ナバルの惡を其首に歸し賜へばなりと爰にダビデ、アビガルを妻にめとらんとて人を遣はしてこれとかたらはしむ
40 When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you, to take you to be his wife."
ダビデの僕カルメルにをるアビガルの許にいたりてこれにかたりいひけるはダビデ汝を妻にめとらんとて我らを汝に遣はすと
41 She got up and bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, "Look, your servant is a lowly servant to wash the feet of your servants."
アビガルたちて地にふして拝しいひけるは視よ婢はわが主の僕等の足を洗ふ仕女なりと
42 Then Abigail got up quickly and rode on a donkey, and with five female servants following her; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
アビガルいそぎたちて驢馬に乗り五人の侍女とともにダビデの使者にしたがひゆきてダビデの妻となる
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
ダビデまたヱズレルのアヒノアムを娶れり彼ら二人ダビデの妻となる
44 Now Saul had given Mikal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
但しサウルはダビデの妻なりし其女ミカルをガリムの人なるライシの子パルテにあたへたり
