1 Kings 20
1 Now, Ben-hadad, king of Syria, had gathered together all his forces, and, thirty-two kings, were with him, and horses and chariots, —then came he up, and laid siege to Samaria, and made war against it.
スリアの王ベネハダデ其軍勢を悉く集む王三十二人彼と偕にあり又馬と戰車とあり乃ち上りてサマリアを圍み之を攻む
2 And he sent messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, —Thus, saith Ben-hadad,
彼使をイスラエルの王アハブに遣し邑に至りて彼に言しめけるはベネハダデ斯言ふ
3 Thy silver and thy gold, are, mine, and, thy wives and thy sons, the goodliest, are, mine.
爾の金銀は我の所有なり亦爾の妻等と爾の子等の美秀者は我の所有なり
4 Then responded the king of Israel, and said, According to thy word, my lord O king! thine, am I, and all that I have.
イスラエルの王答へて言けるは王わが主よ爾の言の如く我と我が有つ者は皆爾の所有なり
5 And the messengers came back again, and said, Thus, speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, —Because I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver and thy gold and thy wives and thy sons, to me, shalt thou give,
使者再び來りて言けるはベネハダデ斯語て言ふ我爾に爾我に爾の金銀妻子を付すべしと言遣れり
6 Therefore, about this time to-morrow, will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, —and it shall be, that, all the delight of thine eyes, shall they put in their hand, and take away.
然ど明日今頃我が僕を爾に遣さん彼等爾の家と爾の臣僕の家を探索りて凡て爾の日に好ましく見ゆる者を其手に置て取り去るべしと
7 Then called the king of Israel, for all the elders of the land, and said—Mark, I pray you, and see, how this man is seeking, mischief, —for he had sent unto me, for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I refused him not.
是においてイスラエルの王國の長老を皆召て言けるは請ふ爾等見て此人の害をなさんと求るを知れ彼人を我に遣りて我が妻子とわが金銀を索めたり而るに我之を謝絶ざりしと
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, —Do not thou hearken, neither do thou consent.
諸の長老および民皆彼に言けるは爾聽なかれ許すなかれと
9 So he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad—Say ye to my lord the king, —All that thou didst send for, to thy servant at the first, will I do, but, this thing, I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and took him back word.
是故に彼ベネハダデの使者に言けるは王わが主に告よ爾が最初に僕に言つかはしたる事は皆我爲べし然ど比事は我爲あたはずと使者往て反命をなせり
10 Then Ben-hadad sent unto him and said, —So, let the gods do to me, and, so, let them add, —if the dust of Samaria suffice by handfuls, for all the people who are at my feet.
ベネハダデ彼に言つかはしけるは神等我に斯なし亦重て斯なしたまへサマリアの塵は我に從ふ諸の民の手に滿るに足ざるべしと
11 And the king of Israel responded and said: Tell him, —Let not, him that girdeth, boast himself like him, that looseneth.
イスラエルの王答へて帶る者は解く者の如く誇るべからずと告よと言り
12 And it came to pass, when he heard this message, as, he, was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants—Make ready! So they made ready, against the city.
ベネハダデ天幕にありて王等と飮ゐたりしが此事を聞て其臣僕に言けるは爾等陣列を爲せと即ち邑に向ひて陣列をなせり
13 And lo! a certain prophet, drew near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? Behold me! delivering it into thy hand, to-day, so shalt thou know that, I, am, Yahweh.
時に一人の預言者イスラエルの王アハブの許に至りて言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾此諸の大軍を見るや視よ我今日之を爾の手に付さん爾は我がヱホバなるを知にいたらんと
14 And Ahab said—By whom? And he said—Thus, saith Yahweh, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he—Who shall begin the war? And he said—Thou!
アハブ言けるは誰を以てせんか彼いひけるはヱホバ斯いひたまふ諸省の牧伯の少者を以てすべしアハブ言ふ誰か戰爭を始むべき彼答けるは爾なりと
15 Then numbered he the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were found to be, two hundred and thirty-two, —and, after them, he numbered all the people all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
アハブ乃ち諸省の牧伯の少者を核るに二百三十二人あり次に凡の民即ちイスラエルの凡の子孫を核るに七千人あり
16 And they went forth at noon. Now, Ben-hadad, was drinking himself drunk, in the pavilions, he and the thirty-two kings helping him.
彼等日中出たちたりしがベネハダデは天幕にて王等即ち己を助る三十二人の王等とともに飮て酔居たり
17 Then went forth the young men of the princes of the provinces, first, —and, when Ben-hadad sent, they told him, saying—Men, have come forth, out of Samaria.
諸省の牧伯の少者等先に出たりベネハダデ人を出すにサマリアより人衆出來ると彼に告ければ
18 And he said—If, peaceably, they have come, take them alive, —or, if, fighting, they have come, alive, take ye them.
彼言けるは和睦のために出來るも之を生擒べし又戰爭のために出來るも之を生擒べしと
19 Now, when, these, had come forth out of the city, even the young men of the princes of the provinces, —with the force which was following them,
諸省の牧伯の是等の少者および之に從ふ軍勢邑より出きたり
20 then smote they every one his man, and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, —but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on horse, with horsemen.
各其敵手を撃ち殺しければスリア人逃たりイスラエル之を追ふスリアの王ベネハダデは馬に乗り騎兵を從へて逃遁たり
21 And the king of Israel went forth, and took the horses and the chariots, —and he went on smiting the Syrians, with a great smiting.
イスラエルの王出て馬と戰車を撃ち又大にスリア人を撃殺せり
22 Then drew near the prophet, unto the king of Israel, and said unto him—Go strengthen thyself, and mark and see, what thou wilt do, —for, at the return of the year, is, the king of Syria, coming up against thee.
茲に彼預言者イスラエルの王の許に詣て彼に言けるは往て爾の力を養ひ爾の爲すべき事を知り辨ふべし年歸らばスリアの王爾に攻上るべければなりと
23 And, the servants of the king of Syria, said unto him, —Gods of the mountains, are their gods, for this cause, prevailed they against us, —but, only let us fight with them in the plain, and verily we shall prevail against them.
スリアの王の臣僕王に言けるは彼等の神等は山崗の神なるが故に彼等は我等よりも強かりしなり然ども我等若平地に於て彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべし
24 But, this thing, do, —set aside the kings, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
但し此事を爲せ即ち王等を除きて各其處を離しめ方伯を置て之に代べし
25 and, thou, must number thee a force, like the force which thou hast lost, both horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and, if we fight with them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
又爾の失ひたる軍勢に均き軍勢を爾のために備へ馬は馬戰車は戰車をもて補ふべし斯して我儕平地において彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべしと彼其言を聽いれて然なせり
26 And so it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, —and came up to Aphek, to fight with Israel;
年かへるに及びてベネハダデ、スリア人を核めてアペクに上りイスラエルと戰はんとす
27 and, the sons of Israel, were numbered, and provisioned, and went to meet them, —and the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, whereas, the Syrians, filled the land.
イスラエルの子孫核められ兵糧を受て彼等に出會んとて往けりイスラエルの子孫は山羊の二の小群の如く彼等の前に陣どりしがスリア人は其地に充滿たり
28 Then approached the man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said—Thus, saith Yahweh—Because the Syrians have said—A god of the mountains, is Yahweh, but, not a god of the vales, is he, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude, into thy hand, so shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh.
時に神の人至りてイスラエルの王に告ていひけるはヱホバ斯言たまふスリア人ヱホバは山獄の神にして谿谷の神にあらずと言ふによりて我此諸の大軍を爾の手に付すべし爾等は我がヱホバなるを知に至らんと
29 So they encamped, these, over against, those, seven days, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel smote the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen, in one day.
彼等七日互に相對て陣どり第七日におよびて戰爭を交接しがイスラエルの子孫一日にスリア人の歩兵十萬人を殺しければ
30 And they who were left fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left, —and, Ben-hadad, fled, and came into the city, into a chamber within a chamber.
其餘の者はアベクに逃て邑に入ぬ然るに其石垣崩れて其存れる二萬七千人の上にたふれたりベネハダデは逃て邑にいたり奧の間に入ぬ
31 And his servants said unto him, Lo! we pray thee, we have heard, of the kings of the house of Israel, that, kings known for lovingkindness, they are. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes about our head, and let us go forth unto the king of Israel, peradventure he will save alive thy soul.
其臣僕彼にいひけるは我儕イスラエルの家の王等は仁慈ある王なりと聞り請ふ我儕粗麻布を腰につけ繩を頭につけてイスラエルの王の所にいたらん彼爾の命を生むることあらんと
32 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and [put] ropes about their heads, and came in unto the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant, Ben-hadad, saith, —Let my soul live, I pray thee. And he said, —Is he yet alive? My brother, he is.
斯彼等粗麻布を腰にまき繩を頭にまきてイスラエルの王の所にいたりていひけるは爾の僕ベネハダデ請ふ我が生命を生しめたまへと言ふとアハブいひけるは彼は尚生をるや彼はわが兄弟なりと
33 Now, the men, could divine, so they hastened to let him confirm the word of his own accord, and they said, —Thy brother, is Ben-hadad! He said therefore, —Go fetch him. So Ben-hadad came forth unto him, and he made him come up unto him on his chariot.
其人々これを吉兆と爲し速に彼の言を承て爾の兄弟ベネハダデといへり彼言けるは爾等ゆきて彼を導ききたるべしと是においてベネハダデ彼の所に出來りしかば彼之を車に登しめたり
34 And he said unto him—The cities which my father took from thy father, will I restore, and, bazaars, shalt thou make thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. So then, I, with this covenant, will let thee go. So he solemnised with him a covenant, and let him go.
ベネハダデ彼に言けるは我父の爾の父より取たる諸邑は我返すべし又我が父のサマリアに造りたる如く爾ダマスコに於て爾のために街衢を作るべしアハブ言ふ我此契約を以て爾を歸さんと斯彼と契約を爲て彼を歸せり
35 And, a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh—Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
爰に預言者の徒の一人ヱホバの言によりて其同儕に請我を撃てといひけるが其人彼を撃つことを肯ぜざりしかば
36 So he said to him—Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote him.
彼其人に言ふ汝ヱホバの言を聽ざりしによりて視よ汝の我をはなれて往く時獅子汝をころさんと其人彼の側を離れて往きけるに獅子之に遇て之を殺せり
37 Then found he another man, and said, —Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him—kept on smiting and wounding.
彼また他の人に遭て請ふ我を撃といひければ其人之を撃ち撃て傷けたり
38 Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way, —and disguised himself with his turban over his eyes.
預言者往て王を途に待ち其目に掩巾をあてて儀容を變ゐたりしが
39 And so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king, —and said—Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said—Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out.
王の經過る時王に呼はりていひけるは僕戰爭の中に出しに人轉りて一箇の人を我の所に曳きたりて言けるは此人を守れ若彼失ゆく事あらば汝の生命を彼の生命に代べし或は爾銀一タラントを出すべしと
40 And so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him—Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided it.
而るに僕此彼に事をなしゐたれば彼遂に失たりとイスラエルの王彼にいひけるは爾の擬定は然なるべし爾之を決めたり
41 Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes, —and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he.
彼急ぎて其目の掩巾を取除たればイスラエルの王彼が預言者の一人なるを識り
42 And he said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Because thou hast let go the man whom I had devoted, out of thy hand, therefore shall, thy life, be instead of, his life, and, thy people, instead of, his people.
彼王に言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾はわが殲滅んと定めたる人を爾の手より放ちたれば爾の命は彼の生命に代り爾の民は彼の民に代るべしと
43 And the king of Israel departed unto his house, sullen and disturbed, —and entered Samaria.
イスラエルの王憂へ且怒て其家に赴きサマリアに至れり
