< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped, into the cave of Adullam, —and, when his brethren and all the household of his father heard it, they went down unto him, thither.
是故にダビデ其處をいでたちてアドラムの洞穴にのがる其兄弟および父の家みな聞きおよびて彼處にくだり彼の許に至る
2 And there gathered themselves unto him—every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one embittered in soul, and he came to be over them as a prince, —and there were with him, about four hundred men.
また惱める人負債者心に嫌ぬ者皆かれの許にあつまりて彼其長となれりかれとともにある者はおよそ四百人なり
3 And David departed thence, to Mizpah of Moab, —and said unto the king of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother dwell with you, until that I know what God will do for me.
ダビデ其處よりモアブのミヅパにいたりモアブの王にいひけるは神の我をいかがなしたまふかを知るまでねがはくはわが父母をして出て汝らとともにをらしめよと
4 So he set them before the king of Moab, —and they dwelt with him, all the days that David was in the fortress.
遂にかれらをモアブの王のまへにつれきたるかれらはダビデが要害にをる間王とともにありき
5 Then said Gad the prophet unto David—Thou must not abide in the fortress, go and get thee into the land of Judah. So David departed, and entered the forest of Hereth.
預言者ガデ、ダビデに云けるは要害に住るなかれゆきてユダの地にいたれとダビデゆきてハレテの叢林にいたる
6 And, when Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him—Saul, being seated in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants stationed by him, —
爰にサウル、ダビデおよびかれとともなる人々の見露されしを聞けり時にサウルはギベアにあり手に槍を執て岡巒の柳の樹の下にをり臣僕ども皆其傍にたてり
7 then said Saul unto his servants who were stationed by him—Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites! What! even to all of you, will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards? All of you, will he appoint to be princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds?
サウル側にたてる僕にいひけるは汝らベニヤミン人聞けよヱサイの子汝らおのおのに田と葡萄園をあたへ汝らおのおのを千夫長百夫長となすことあらんや
8 That ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none to uncover mine ear as to the covenanting of my son with the son of Jesse? And none from among you that taketh pity upon me, and that uncovereth mine ear [to this], —that, mine own son, hath stirred up, my servants, against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
汝ら皆我に敵して謀り一人もわが子のヱサイの子と契約を結びしを我につげしらする者なしまた汝ら一人もわがために憂へずわが子が今日のごとくわが僕をはげまして道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするを我につげしらす者なし
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite—he, being stationed near the servants of Saul—and said, —I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub;
時にエドミ人ドエグ、サウルの僕の中にたち居りしが答へていひけるは我ヱサイの子のノブにゆきてアヒトブの子アヒメレクに至るを見しが
10 Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him, —and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.
アヒメレクかれのためにヱホバに問ひまたかれに食物をあたへペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍をあたへたりと
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father—the priests, who were in Nob, —and they came, all of them, unto the king.
王すなはち人をつかはしてアヒトブの子祭司アヒメレクなよびその父の家すなはちノブの祭司たる人々を召したればみな王の許にきたる
12 And Saul said, Hear, I pray thee, thou son of Ahitub! And he said—Behold me! my lord.
サウルいひけるは汝アヒトブの子聽よ答へけるは主よ我ここにあり
13 And Saul said unto him, Wherefore have ye conspired against me, thou, and the son of Jesse, —in that thou gavest him bread and a sword, and didst enquire for him of God, that he might rise up against me, that he might lie in wait, as at this day?
サウルかれにいふ汝なんぞヱサイの子とともに我に敵して謀り汝かれにパンと劍をあたへ彼が爲に神に問ひかれをして今日のごとく道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするや
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, —But who, among all thy servants, like David, is, faithful, being son-in-law to the king, and, cometh near to have audience with thee, and is, honoured in thy household?
アヒメレク王にこたへていひけるは汝の臣僕のうち誰かダビデのごとく忠義なる彼は王の婿にして親しく汝に見ゆるもの汝の家に尊まるる者にあらずや
15 Did I, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.
我其時かれのために神に問ことを始めしや決てしからずねがはくは王僕およびわが父の全家に何をも歸するなかれ其は僕この事については多少をいはず何をもしらざればなり
16 And the king said: Thou shalt, die, Ahimelech, —thou and all the household of thy father.
王いひけるはアヒメレク汝必ず死ぬべし汝の父の全家もしかりと
17 And the king said unto the runners that were stationed by him—Turn ye round and put to death the priests of Yahweh, because, their hand also, is with David, and because they knew that he was, in flight, and unveiled not mine ear. But the servants of the king were not willing to thrust forth their hand, to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.
王旁にたてる前驅の人々にいひけるは身をひるがへしてヱホバの祭司を殺せかれらもダビデと力を合するが故またかれらダビデの逃たるをしりて我に告ざりし故なりと然ど王の僕手をいだしてヱホバの祭司を撃ことを好まざれば
18 Then said the king to Doeg, Turn, thou, and fall upon the priests. So Doeg the Edomite turned, and, himself, fell upon the priests, and put to death, that day, four score and five men bearing an ephod of linen;
王ドエグにいふ汝身をひるがへして祭司をころせとエドミ人ドエグ乃ち身をひるがへして祭司をうち其日布のエポデを衣たる者八十五人をころせり
19 Nob also, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, —and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
かれまた刃を以て祭司の邑ノブを撃ち刃をもて男女童稚嬰孩牛驢馬羊を殺せり
20 But there escaped one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, whose, name, was Abiathar, —and he fled after David.
アヒトブの子アヒメレクの一人の子アビヤタルとなづくる者逃れてダビデにはしり從がふ
21 So Abiathar told David, —that Saul had slain the priests of Yahweh.
アビヤタル、サウルがヱホバの祭司を殺したることをダビデに告しかば
22 Then said David to Abiathar—I knew, that day, when Doeg the Edomite was, there, that he would, surely tell, Saul. I, am chargeable with all the lives of the house of thy father.
ダビデ、アビヤタルにいふかの日エドミ人ドエグ彼處にをりしかば我かれが必らずサウルにつげんことを知れり我汝の父の家の人々の生命を喪へる源由となれり
23 Abide with me! do not fear, for, whoso seeketh my life, seeketh thy life, —for, in safeguard, shall thou be, with me.
汝我とともに居れ懼るるなかれわが生命を求むる者汝の生命をも求むるなり汝我とともにあらば安全なるべし
