1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan loved him, as his own soul.
ダビデ、サウルにかたることを終しときヨナタンの心ダビデの心にむすびつきてヨナタンおのれの命のごとくダビデを愛せり
2 And Saul took him, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
此日サウル、ダビデをかかへて父の家にかへらしめず
3 And Jonathan and David solemnised a covenant, —because he loved him as his own soul.
ヨナタンおのれの命のごとくダビデを愛せしかばヨナタンとダビデ契約をむすべり
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
ヨナタンおのれの衣たる明衣を脱てダビデにあたふ其戎衣および其刀も弓も帶もまたしかせり
5 And David went forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
ダビデは凡てサウルが遣はすところにいでゆきて功をあらはしければサウルかれを兵隊の長となせりしかしてダビデ民の心にかなひ又サウルの僕の心にもかなふ
6 But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
衆人かへりきたれる時すなはちダビデ、ペリシテ人をころして還れる時婦女イスラエルの邑々よりいできたり鼗と祝歌と磬をもちて歌ひまひつつサウル王を迎ふ
7 And the women that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of thousands.
婦人踊躍つつ相こたへて歌ひけるはサウルは千をうち殺しダビデは萬をうちころすと
8 Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
サウル甚だ怒りこの言をよろこばずしていひけるは萬をダビデに歸し千をわれに歸す此上かれにあたふべき者は唯國のみと
9 And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.
サウルこの日より後ダビデを目がけたり
10 And, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s hand,
次の日神より出たる惡鬼サウルにのぞみてサウル家のなかにて預言したりしかばダビデ故のごとく手をもつて琴をひけり時にサウルの手に投槍ありければ
11 Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
サウル我ダビデを壁に刺とほさんといひて其投槍をさしあげしがダビデ二度身をかはしてサウルをさけたり
12 And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
ヱホバ、サウルをはなれてダビデと共にいますによりてサウル彼をおそれたり
13 So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, —and he went out and came in before the people.
是故にサウル彼を遠ざけて千夫長となせりダビデすなはち民のまへに出入す
14 And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
またダビデすべて其ゆくところにて功をあらはし且ヱホバかれとともにいませり
15 And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him.
サウル、ダビデが大に功をあらはすをみてこれを恐れたり
16 But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming in before them.
しかれどもイスラエルとユダの人はみなダビデを愛せり彼が其前に出入するによりてなり
17 So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, be upon him.
サウル、ダビデにいひけるはわれわが長女メラブを汝に妻さん汝ただわがために勇みヱホバの軍に戰ふべしと其はサウルわが手にてかれを殺さでペリシテ人の手にてころさんとおもひたればなり
18 And David said unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become son-in-law, to the king?
ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは我は誰ぞわが命はなんぞわが父の家はイスラエルにおいて何なる者ぞや我いかでか王の婿となるべけんと
19 But it came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
然るにサウルの女子メラブはダビデに嫁ぐべき時におよびてメホラ人アデリエルに妻されたり
20 Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
サウルの女ミカル、ダビデを愛す人これを王に告ければサウル其事を善しとせり
21 And Saul said to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
サウルいひけるは我ミカルをかれにあたへて彼を謀る手段となしペリシテ人の手にてかれを殺さんといひてサウル、ダビデにいひけるは汝今日ふたたびわが婿となるべし
22 And Saul commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
かくてサウル其僕に命じけるは汝ら密にダビデにかたりて言へ視よ王汝を悦び王の僕みな汝を愛すされば汝王の婿となるべしと
23 And the servants of Saul spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
サウルの僕此言をダビデの耳に語りしかばダビデいひけるは王の婿となること汝らの目には易き事とみゆるや且われは貧しく賤しき者なりと
24 So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
サウルの僕サウルにつげてダビデ是の如くかたれりといへり
25 Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
サウルいひけるはなんぢらかくダビデにいへ王は聘禮を望まずただペリシテ人の陽皮一百をえて王の仇をむくいんことを望むと是はサウル、ダビデをペリシテ人の手に殞沒しめんとおもへるなり
26 So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
サウルの僕此言をダビデにつげしかばダビデは王の婿となることを善とせり斯て其時いまだ滿ざるあひだに
27 Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal his daughter, to wife.
ダビデ起て其從者とともにゆきペリシテ人二百人をころして其陽皮をたづさへきたり之を悉く王にささげて王の婿とならんとすサウル乃はち其女ミカルをダビデに妻せたり
28 And Saul saw and knew that, Yahweh, was with David, and that, all Israel, loved him.
サウル見てヱホバのダビデとともにいますを知りぬまたサウルの女ミカルはダビデを愛せり
29 So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
サウルさらにますますダビデを恐れサウル一生のあひだダビデの敵となれり
30 And, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
爰にペリシテ人の諸伯攻きたりしがダビデかれらが攻めきたるごとにサウルの諸の臣僕よりは多の功をたてしかば其名はなはだ尊まる
