< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
ダビデと其從者第三日にチクラグにいたるにアマレク人すでに南の地とチクラグを侵したりかれらチクラグを撃ち火をもて之を燬き
2 They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
其中に居りし婦女を擄にし老たるをも若きをも一人も殺さずして之をひきて其途におもむけり
3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
ダビデと其從者邑にいたりて視に邑は火に燬けその妻と男子女子は擄にせられたり
4 David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
ダビデおよびこれとともにある民聲をあげて哭き終に哭く力もなきにいたれり
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
ダビデのふたりの妻すなはちヱズレル人アヒノアムとカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルも虜にせられたり
6 David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
時にダビデ大に心を苦めたり其は民おのおの其男子女子のために氣をいらだてダビデを石にて撃んといひたればなりされどダビデ其神ヱホバによりておのれをはげませり
7 David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
ダビデ、アヒメレクの子祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは請ふエポデを我にもちきたれとアビヤタル、エポデをダビデにもちきたる
8 and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
ダビデ、ヱホバに問ていひけるは我此軍の後を追ふべきや我これに追つくことをえんかとヱホバかれにこたへたまはく追ふべし爾かならず追つきてたしかに取もどすことをえん
9 So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
ダビデおよびこれとともなる六百人の者ゆきてベソル川にいたれり後にのこれる者はここにとどまる
10 David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
即ちダビデ四百人をひきゐて追ゆきしが憊れてベソル川をわたることあたはざる者二百人はとどまれり
11 [As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
衆人野にて一人のエジプト人を見これをダビデにひききたりてこれに食物をあたへければ食へりまたこれに水をのませたり
12 They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
すなはち一段の乾無花果と二球の乾葡萄をこれにあたへたり彼くらひて其氣ふたたび爽かになれりかれは三日三夜物をもくはず水をものまざりしなり
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
ダビデかれにいひけるは爾は誰の人なる爾はいづくの者なるやかれいひけるは我はエジプトの少者にて一人のアマレク人の僕なり三日まへに我疾にかかりしゆゑにわが主人我をすてたり
14 We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
我らケレテ人の南とユダの地とカレブの南ををかしまた火をもてチクラグをやけり
15 David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
ダビデかれにいひけるは爾我を此軍にみちびきくだるやかれいひけるは爾我をころさずまた我をわが主人の手にわたさざるを神をさして我に誓へ我爾を此軍にみちびきくだらん
16 [David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
かれダビデをみちびきくだりしが視よ彼等はペリシテ人の地とユダの地より奪ひたる諸の大なる掠取物のためによろこびて飮食し踊りつつ地にあまねく散ひろがりて居る
17 David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
ダビデ暮あひより次日の晩にいたるまでかれらを撃しかば駱駝にのりて逃げたる四百人の少者の外は一人ものがれたるもの无りき
18 David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
ダビデはすべてアマレク人の奪ひたる物を取りもどせり其二人の妻もダビデとりもどせり
19 Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
小きも大なるも男子も女子も掠取物もすべてアマレク人の奪さりし物は一も失はずダビデことごとく取かへせり
20 They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
ダビデまた凡の羊と牛をとれり人々この家畜をそのまへに驅きたり是はダビデの掠取物なりといへり
21 David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
かくてダビデかの憊れてダビデにしたがひ得ずしてベソル川のほとりに止まりし二百人の者のところにいたるに彼らダビデをいでむかへまたダビデとともなる民をいでむかふダビデかの民にちかづきてその安否をたづぬ
22 But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
ダビデとともにゆきし人々の中の惡く邪なる者みなこたへていひけるは彼等は我らとともにゆかざりければ我らこれに取りもどしたる掠取物をわけあたふべからず唯おのおのにその妻子をあたへてこれをみちびきさらしめん
23 David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
ダビデ言けるはわが兄弟よヱホバ我らをまもり我らにせめきたりし軍を我らの手にわたしたまひたれば爾らヱホバのわれらにたまひし物をしかするは宜からず
24 (Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
誰か爾らにかかることをゆるさんや戰ひにくだりし者の取る分のごとく輜重のかたはらに止まりし者の取る分もまた然あるべし共にひとしく取るべし
25 David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
この日よりのちダビデこれをイスラエルの法となし例となせり其事今日にいたる
26 When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
ダビデ、チクラグにいたりて其掠取物をユダの長老なる其朋友にわかちおくりて曰しめけるは是はヱホバの敵よりとりて爾らにおくる饋物なり
27 [Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
ベテルにをるもの南のラモテにをるものヤツテルにをる者
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
アロエルにをる者シフモテにをるものエシテモにをるもの
29 Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
ラカルにをるものヱラメル人の邑にをるものケニ人の邑にをるもの
30 Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
ホルマにをるものコラシヤンにをるものアタクにをるもの
31 Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
ヘブロンにをるものおよびすべてダビデが其從者とともに毎にゆきし所にこれをわかちおくれり
