1 Samuel 21

1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the cohen. And Ahimelech was shaking in fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"

ダビデ、ノブにゆきて祭司アヒメレクにいたるアヒメレク懼れてダビデを迎へこれにいひけるは汝なんぞ獨にして誰も汝とともならざるや

2 And David said to the cohen, "The king has given me orders, and he instructed me, 'No one must know of the matter about which I send you, or about your orders; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'

ダビデ祭司アヒメレクにいふ王我に一の事を命じて我にいふ我が汝を遣はすところの事およびわが汝に命じたる所については何をも人にしらするなかれと我某處に我少者を出おけり

3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."

いま何か汝の手にあるや我手に五のパンか或はなににてもある所を與よ

4 And the cohen answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."

祭司ダビデに對ていひけるは常のパンはわが手になしされど若し少者婦女をだに愼みてありしならば聖きパンあるなりと

5 And David answered the cohen, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

ダビデ祭司に對へていひけるは實にわがいでしより此三日は婦女われらにちかづかず且少者等の器は潔し又パンは常の物のごとし今日器に潔きパンあれば殊に然と

6 So the cohen gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

祭司かれに聖きパンを與たり其はかしこに供前のパンの外はパン无りければなり即ち其パンは下る日に熱きパンをささげんとて之をヱホバのまへより取されるなり

7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

其日かしこにサウルの僕一人留められてヱホバのまへにあり其名をドエグといふエドミ人にしてサウルの牧者の長なり

8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

ダビデまたアヒメレクにいふ此に汝の手に槍か劍あらぬか王の事急なるによりて我は刀も武器も携へざりしと

9 The cohen said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."

祭司いひけるは汝がエラの谷にて殺したるペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍布に裏みてエポデの後にあり汝もし之をとらんとおもはば取れ此にはほかの劍なしダビデいひけるはそれにまさるものなし我にあたへよと

10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

ダビデ其日サウルをおそれて立てガテの王アキシのところに逃げゆきぬ

11 The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"

アキシの臣僕アキシに曰けるは此は其地の王ダビデにあらずや人々舞踏のうちにこの人のことを歌ひあひてサウルは千をうちころしダビデは萬をうちころすといひしにあらずや

12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

ダビデこの言を心に蔵め深くガテの王アキシをおそれ

13 He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.

人々のまへに佯て其氣を變じ執はれて狂人のさまをなし門の扉に書き其涎沫を鬚にながれくだらしむ

14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?

アキシ僕に云けるは汝らの見るごとく此人は狂人なり何ぞかれを我にひき來るや

15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

我なんぞ狂人を須ひんや汝ら此者を引きたりてわがまへに狂しめんとするや此者なんぞ吾が家にいるべけんや
