1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
イスラエル人ペリシテ人にいであひて戰はんとしエベネゼルの邊に陣をとりペリシテ人はアベクに陣をとる
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
ペリシテ人イスラエル人にむかひて陣列をなせり戰ふにおよびてイスラエル人ペリシテ人のまへにやぶるペリシテ人戰場において其軍四千人ばかりを殺せり
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us today before the Philistines? Let as fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.
民陣營にいたるにイスラエルの長老曰けるはヱホバ何故に今日我等をペリシテ人のまへにやぶりたまひしやヱホバの契約の櫃をシロより此にたづさへ來らん其櫃われらのうちに來らば我らを敵の手よりすくひいだすことあらんと
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which sitteth upon the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
かくて民人をシロにつかはしてケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバの契約の櫃を其處よりたづさへきたらしむ時にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス神の契約のはことともに彼處にありき
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
ヱホバの契約の櫃陣營にいたりしときイスラエル人皆大によばはりさけびければ地なりひびけり
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
ペリシテ人喊呼の聲を聞ていひけるはヘブル人の陣營に起れる此大なるさけびの聲は何ぞやと遂にヱホバの櫃の其陣營にいたれるを知る
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
ペリシテ人おそれていひけるは神陣營にいたる又いひけるは鳴呼われら禍なるかな今にいたるまで斯ることなかりき
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness.
ああ我等禍なるかな誰かわれらを是らの強き神の手よりすくひいださんや此等の神は昔し諸の災を以てエジプト人を曠野に撃し者なり
9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
ペリシテ人よ強くなり豪傑のごとく爲せヘブル人がかつて汝らに事へしごとく汝らこれに事ふるなかれ豪傑のごとく爲して戰へよ
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
かくてペリシテ人戰ひしかばイスラエル人やぶれて各々其天幕に逃かへる戰死はなはだ多くイスラエルの歩兵の仆れし者三萬人なりき
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
又神の櫃は奪はれエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス殺さる
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
是日ベニヤミンの一人軍中より走來り其衣を裂き土をかむりてシロにいたる
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon his seat by the way side watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
其いたれる時エリ道の傍に壇に坐して觀望居たり其心に神の櫃のことを思ひ煩らひたればなり其人いたり邑にて人々に告ければ邑こぞりてさけびたり
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man hasted and came and told Eli.
エリ此呼號の聲をききていひけるは是喧嘩の聲は何なるやと其人いそぎきたりてエリにつぐ
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
時にエリ九十八歳にして其目かたまりて見ることあたはず
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, How went the matter, my son?
其人エリにいひけるは我は軍中より來れるもの我今日軍中より逃れたりエリいひけるは吾子よ事いかん
17 And he that brought the tidings answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
使人答へていひけるはイスラエル人ペリシテ人の前に逃げ且民の中に大なる戰死ありまた汝の二人の子ホフニとピネハスは殺され神の櫃は奪はれたり
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
神の櫃のことを演しときエリ其壇より仰けに門の傍におち頸をれて死ねり是はかれ老て身重かりければなり其イスラエルを鞫しは四十年なりき
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and brought forth; for her pains came upon her.
エリの媳ピネハスの妻孕みて子產ん時ちかかりしが神の櫃の奪はれしと舅と夫の死にしとの傳言を聞しかば其痛みおこりきたり身をかがめて子を產り
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast brought forth a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
其死なんとする時傍にたてる婦人これにいひけるは懼るるなかれ汝男子を生りと然ども答へず又かへりみず
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
只榮光イスラエルをさりぬといひて其子をイカボデ(榮なし)と名く是は神の櫃奪はれしによりまた舅と夫の故に因るなり
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.
またいひけるは榮光イスラエルをさりぬ神の櫃うばはれたればなり
