1 Samuel 24
1 It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."
サウル、ペリシテ人を追ふことをやめて還りし時人々かれにつげていひけるは視よダビデはエンゲデの野にありと
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
サウル、イスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人を率ゐゆきて野羊の巌にダビデと其從者を尋ぬ
3 He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
途にて羊の棧にいたるに其處に洞穴ありサウル其足を掩んとていりぬ時にダビデと其從者洞の隅に居たり
4 The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
ダビデの從者これにいひけるはヱホバが汝に告て視よ我汝の敵を汝の手にわたし汝をして善と見るところを彼になさしめんといひたまひし日は今なりとダビデすなはち起てひそかにサウルの衣の裾をきれり
5 It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
ダビデ、サウルの衣の裾をきりしによりて後ち其心みづから責む
6 He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is the LORD's anointed."
ダビデ其從者にいひけるはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なるわが主にわが此事をなすをヱホバ禁じたまふかれはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればかれに敵してわが手をのぶるは善らず
7 So David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul got up, and went down the road.
ダビデ此ことばをもって其從者を止めサウルに撃ちかかる事を容さずサウルたちて洞を出て其道にゆく
8 Afterward David also got up and left the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.
ダビデもまた後よりたちて洞をいでサウルのうしろに呼はりて我主王よといふサウル後をかへりみる時ダビデ地にふして拝す
9 David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは汝なんぞダビデ汝を害せん事を求むといふ人の言を聽くや
10 Look, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.'
視よ今日汝の目ヱホバの汝を洞のうちにて今日わが手にわたしたまひしことを見たり人々我に汝をころさんことを勸めたれども我汝を惜めり我いひけらくわが主はヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればこれに敵してわが手をのぶべからずと
11 Now look, the skirt of your robe in my hand. When I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
わが父よ視よわが手にある汝の衣の裾を見よわが汝の衣の裾をきりて汝を殺さざるを見ばわが手には惡も罪過もなきことを汝見て知るべし我汝に罪ををかせしことなし然るに汝わが生命をとらんとねらふ
12 May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
ヱホバ我と汝の間を審きたまはんヱホバわがために汝に報いたまふべし然どわが手は汝に加へざるべし
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on you.
古への諺にいふごとく惡は惡人よりいづされどわが手は汝にくはへざるべし
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
イスラエルの王は誰を趕んとて出たるや汝たれを追ふや死たる犬をおひ一の蚤をおふなり
15 May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
ねがはくはヱホバ審判者となりて我と汝のあひだをさばきかつ見てわが訟を理し我を汝の手よりすくひいだしたまはんことを
16 It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
ダビデこれらの言をサウルに語りをへしときサウルいひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は汝の聲なるかとサウル聲をあげて哭きぬ
17 He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
しかしてダビデにいひけるは汝は我よりも正し我は汝に惡をむくゆるに汝は我に善をむくゆ
18 And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that the LORD had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
汝今日いかに汝が我に善くなすかを明かにせりヱホバ我を爾の手にわたしたまひしに爾我をころさざりしなり
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done this day.
人もし其敵にあはばこれを安らかに去しむべけんや爾が今日我になしたる事のためにヱホバ爾に善をむくいたまふべし
20 Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
視よ我爾が必ず王とならんことを知りまたイスラエルの王國の爾の手によりて堅くたたんことをしる
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
今爾ヱホバをさして我にわが後にてわが子孫を斷ずわが名をわが父の家に滅せざらんことを誓へと
22 David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
ダビデすなはちサウルにちかふ是においてサウルは家にかへりダビデと其從者は要害にのぼれり
