1 Samuel 16

1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons."

爰にヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるは我すでにサウルを棄てイスラエルに王たらしめざるに汝いつまでかれのために歎くや汝の角に膏油を滿してゆけ我汝をベテレヘム人ヱサイの許につかはさん其は我其子の中にひとりの王を尋ねえたればなり

2 Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." The LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.

サムエルいひけるは我いかで往くことをえんサウル聞て我をころさんヱホバいひたまひけるは汝一犢を携へゆきて言へヱホバに犠牲をささげんために來ると

3 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you."

しかしてヱサイを犠牲の場によべ我汝が爲すべき事をしめさん我汝に告るところの人に膏をそそぐ可し

4 And Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling. And they said, "Is your visit peaceful, seer?"

サムエル、ヱホバの語たまひしごとくなしてベテレヘムにいたる邑の長老おそれて之をむかへいひけるは汝平康なる事のためにきたるや

5 And he said, "Peaceful; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

サムエルいひけるは平康なることのためなり我はヱホバに犠牲をささげんとてきたる汝ら身をきよめて我とともに犠牲の場にきたれと斯てヱサイと其諸子を潔めて犠牲の場によびきたる

6 It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before him."

かれらが至れる時サムエル、エリアブを見ておもへらくヱホバの膏そそぐものは必ず此人ならんと

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For humans do not see as God sees, for humans look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart."

しかるにヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるは其容貌と身長を觀るなかれ我すでにかれをすてたりわが視るところは人に異なり人は外の貌を見ヱホバは心をみるなり

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

ヱサイ、ヘアビナダブをよびてサムエルのまへを過しむサムエルいひけるは此人もまたヱホバ擇みたまはず

9 Then Jesse made Shimeah to pass by. He said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

ヱサイ、シヤンマを過しむサムエルいひけるは此人もまたヱホバえらみたまはず

10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen these."

ヱサイ其七人の子をしてサムエルの前をすぎしむサムエル、ヱサイにいふヱホバ是等をえらみたまはず

11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your children here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest. Look, he is tending the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here."

サムエル、ヱサイにいひけるは汝の男子は皆此にをるやヱサイいひけるは尚季子のこれり彼は羊を牧をるなりとサムエル、ヱサイにいひけるは彼を迎へきたらしめよかれが此にいたるまでは我ら食に就かざるべし

12 So he sent and brought him in. And he was reddish brown, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him, for he is the one."

是において人をつかはしてかれをつれきたらしむ其人色赤く目美しくして其貌麗しヱホバいひたまひけるは起てこれにあぶらを沃げ是其人なり

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Ruach of the LORD came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

サムエル膏の角をとりて其兄弟の中にてこれに膏をそそげり此日よりのちヱホバの霊ダビデにのぞむサムエルはたちてラマにゆけり

14 Now the Ruach of the LORD departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the LORD tormented him.

かくてヱホバの霊サウルをはなれヱホバより來る惡鬼これを惱せり

15 Saul's servants said to him, "See now, a harmful spirit from God is tormenting you.

サウルの臣僕これにいひけるは視よ神より來れる惡鬼汝をなやます

16 Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. It shall happen, when the harmful spirit is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well, and it will give you relief."

ねがはくはわれらの主汝のまへにつかふる臣僕に命じて善く琴を鼓く者一人を求めしめよ神よりきたれる惡鬼汝に臨む時彼手をもて琴を鼓て汝いゆることをえん

17 Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."

サウル臣僕にいひけるはわがために巧に鼓琴者をたづねてわがもとにつれきたれ

18 Then one of the young men answered, and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a warrior, and articulate in speech, and a handsome man; and the LORD is with him."

時に一人の少者こたへていひけるは我ベテレヘム人ヱサイの子を見しが琴に巧にしてまた豪氣して善くたたかふ辯舌さはやかなる美しき人なりかつヱホバこれとともにいます

19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."

サウルすなはち使者をヱサイにつかはしていひけるは羊をかふ汝の子ダビデをわがもとに遣はせと

20 And Jesse took a donkey and loaded it with an omer of bread, and a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.

ヱサイすなはち驢馬にパンを負せ一嚢の酒と山羊の羔を執りてこれを其子ダビデの手によりてサウルにおくれり

21 David came to Saul, and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.

ダビデ、サウルの許にいたりて其まへに事ふサウル大にこれを愛し其武器を執る者となす

22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight."

サウル人をヱサイにつかはしていひけるはねがはくはダビデをしてわが前に事へしめよ彼はわが心にかなへりと

23 It happened, when the spirit from God was on Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.

神より出たる惡鬼サウルに臨めるときダビデ琴を執り手をもてこれを弾にサウル慰さみて愈え惡鬼かれをはなる
