2 Kings 4
1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets came crying to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.”
預言者の徒の妻の中なる一人の婦人エリシヤに呼はりていひけるは汝の僕なるわが夫死りなんぢの僕のヱホバを畏れしことはなんぢの知るところなり今債主きたりてわが二人の子をとりて奴僕となさんとすと
2 So Elisha said to her, “What can I do for you? Tell me what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
エリシヤ之にいひけるはわれなんぢの爲に何をなすべきや汝の家に如何なる物あるかわれに告よ彼いひけるは僅少の油のほかは汝の婢の家に有ものなし
3 Then Elisha said, “Go out to borrow jars from your neighbors, empty jars. Borrow as many as possible.
彼いひけるは往て外より鄰の人々より器を借よ空たる器を借るべし少許を借るなかれ
4 Then you must go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all those jars; set aside the jars that are full.”
而してなんぢ入て汝の子等とともに戸の内に閉こもりそのすべての器に油をつぎてその盈るところの者をとりのけおくべし
5 So she left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her, and she filled them with oil.
婦人すなはち彼を離れて去りその子等とともに戸の内に閉こもり子等のもちきたる器に油をつぎたりしが
6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.” But he said to her, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
器のみな盈たるときその子にむかひ尚われに器をもちきたれといひけるに器はもはやあらずといひたればその油すなはち止る
7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil; pay your debt, and live with your sons on the rest.”
是においてその婦神の人にいたりてかくと告ければかれいふ往て油をうりてその負債をつくのひその餘分をもて汝と汝の子等生計をなすべしと
8 One day Elisha walked to Shunem where an important woman lived; she urged him to eat food with her. So as often as Elisha passed by, he would stop there to eat.
一日エリシヤ、シユネムにゆきしに其所に一人の大なる婦人ありてしきりにこれに食をすすめたれば彼かしこを過る毎にそこに入て食をなせり
9 The woman said to her husband, “See, now I realize that this is a holy man of God who is always passing by.
茲にその婦人夫にいひけるは視よ此つねにわれらを過る人は我これを見るに神の聖き人なり
10 Let us make a little room on the roof for Elisha, and let us put in it a bed, a table, a seat, and a lamp. Then when he comes to us, he will stay there.”
請ふ小き室を石垣の上につくりそこに臥床と案と榻と燭臺をかれのために備へん彼われらに至る時はそこに入るべしと
11 So when the day came again that Elisha stopped there, he stayed in the room and rested there.
かくてのちある日エリシヤそこに至りその室に入てそこに臥たりしが
12 Elisha said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
その僕ゲハジにむかひ彼のシユナミ人を召きたれといへり彼かの婦人を召たればその前にきたりて立つに
13 Elisha said to him, “Say to her, 'You have gone to all this trouble to care for us. What can be done for you? Can we speak for you to the king or to the army commander?'” She answered, “I live among my own people.”
エリシヤ、ゲハジにいひけるは彼にかく言へ汝かく懇に我らのために意を用ふ汝のために何をなすべきや王または軍勢の長に汝のことを告られんことを望むかと彼答へてわれはわが民の中にをるなりといふ
14 So Elisha said, “What can we do for her, then?” Gehazi answered, “Indeed, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
エリシヤいひけるは然ばかれのために何をなすべきやゲハジ答へけるは誠にかれは子なくその夫は老たりと
15 So Elisha answered, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
是においてエリシヤかれを召といひければこれを呼に來りて戸口に立たれば
16 Elisha said, “At this time of year, in one year's time, you will be holding a son.” She said, “No, my master and man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
エリシヤいふ明る年の今頃汝子を抱くあらん彼いひけるはいなわが主神の人よなんぢの婢をあざむきたまふなかれと
17 But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the same time in the following year, as Elisha had said to her.
かくて婦つひに孕て明る年にいたりてエリシヤのいへるその頃に子を生り
18 When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father, who was with harvesters.
その子育ちてある日刈獲人の所にいでゆきてその父にいたりしが
19 He said to his father, “My head, my head.” His father said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
父にわが首わが首といひたれば父少者に彼を母のもとに負ゆけと言り
20 When the servant had picked him up and brought the boy to his mother, the child sat on her knees until noon and then died.
すなはちこれを負て母にいたりしに午まで母の膝に坐り居て遂に死たれば
21 So the woman got up and laid the boy on the bed of the man of God, shut the door, and went out.
母のぼりゆきてこれを神の人の臥床の上に置きこれをとぢこめて出で
22 She called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys so that I may hurry to the man of God and then come back.”
その夫をよびていひけるは請ふ一人の僕と一頭の驢馬を我につかはせ我神の人の許にはせゆきて歸らんと
23 Her husband said, “Why do you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon nor a Sabbath.” She replied, “It will be all right.”
夫いふ何故に汝は今日かれにいたらんとするや今日は朔日にもあらず安息日にもあらざるなり彼いひけるは宜しと
24 Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, “Drive on quickly; do not slow down for me unless I say so.”
婦すなはち驢馬に鞍おきてその僕にいひけるは驅て進め吾が命ずることなくば我が騎すすむることに緩漫あらしめざれと
25 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So when the man of God saw her in the distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, here comes the Shunammite woman.
つひにカルメル山にゆきて神の人にいたるに／神の人遥にかれの來るを見て僕ゲハジにいひけるは視よかしこにかのシユナミ人をる
26 Please run to meet her and say to her, 'Is everything alright with you and with your husband and child?'” She answered, “It is alright.”
請ふ汝はしりゆきて彼をむかへて言へなんぢは平安なるやなんぢの夫はやすらかなるやなんぢの子はやすらかなるやと彼こたへて平安なりといひ
27 When she came to the man of God at the mountain, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is very upset, and Yahweh has hidden the problem from me, and has told me nothing.”
遂に山にきたりて神の人にいたりその足を抱きたればゲハジこれを逐ひはらはんとて近よりしに神の人いひけるは容しおけ彼は心の中に苦あるなりまたヱホバその事を我にかくしていまだわれに告たまはざるなり
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my master? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?”
婦いひけるはわれわが主に子を求めしやわれをあざむきたまふなかれとわれは言ざりしや
29 Then Elisha said to Gehazi, “Dress for travel and take my staff in your hand. Go to her home. If you meet any man, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Lay my staff on the child's face.”
エリシヤすなはちゲハジにいひけるはなんぢ腰をひきからげわが杖を手にもちて行け誰に逢も禮をなすべからず又なんぢに禮をなす者あるともそれに答ふることなかれわが杖をかの子の面の上におけよと
30 But the mother of the child said, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So Elisha arose and followed her.
その子の母いひけるはヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は生く我は汝を離れじと是をもてエリシヤついに起て婦に從ひ行ぬ
31 Gehazi hurried on ahead of them and laid the staff on the child's face, but the child did not speak or hear. So then Gehazi returned to meet Elisha and told him saying, “The child has not awakened.”
ゲハジはかれらに先だちゆきて杖をかの子の面の上に置たるが聲もなく聞もせざりしかばかへりきたりてエリシヤに逢てこれに子いまだ目をさまさずと言ふ
32 When Elisha arrived at the house, the child was dead and was still on the bed.
エリシヤここにおいて家に入て視に子は死ておのれの臥床の上に臥てあれば
33 So Elisha went in and shut the door on the child and himself and prayed to Yahweh.
すなはち入り戸をとぢて二人内におりてヱホバに祈り
34 He went up and lay on the child; he put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself out on the boy, and the boy's body grew warm.
而してエリシヤ上りて子の上に伏し己が口をその口におのが目をその目に己が手をその手の上にあて身をもてその子を掩しに子の身體やうやく温まり來る
35 Then Elisha got up and walked around the room and again went up and stretched himself out on the boy. The child sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes!
かくしてエリシヤかへり來て家の内に其處此處とあゆみをり又のぼりて身をもて子をおほひしに子七度嚏して目をひらきしかば
36 So Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite!” So he called her, and when she came into the room, Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
ゲハジを呼てかのシユナミ人をよべと言ければすなはちこれを呼り
37 Then she lay facedown on the ground at his feet and bowed to the ground, and then picked up her son and went out.
彼入來りしかばエリシヤなんぢの子を取ゆけと言りかれすなはち入りてエリシヤの足下に伏し地に身をかがめて其子を取あげて出づ
38 Then Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. He said to his servant, “Put the large pot on the fire and cook stew for the sons of the prophets.”
斯てエリシヤまたギルガルにいたりしがその地に饑饉あり預言者の徒その前に坐しをる是において彼その僕にいひけるは大なる釜をすゑて預言者の徒のために羹を煮よと
39 One of them went out into a field to gather vegetables. He found a wild vine and gathered enough wild gourds to fill the fold of his robe. They cut them up and put them into the stew, but did not know what kind they were.
時に一人田野にゆきて菜蔬を摘しが野籐のあるを見て其より野瓜を一風呂鋪摘きたりて羹の釜の中に截こみたり其は皆それをしらざればなり
40 So they poured out the stew for the men to eat. Later, as they were eating, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” So they could not eat it anymore.
斯てこれを盛て人々に食はせんとせしに彼等その羹を食はんとするにあたりて叫びて嗚呼神の人よ釜の中に死をきたらする者ありといひて得食はざりしかば
41 But Elisha said, “Bring some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people, so that they may eat.” Then there was no longer anything hurtful in the pot.
エリシヤさらば粉をもちきたれといひてこれを釜になげ入れ盛て人々に食しめよと言り釜の中にはすなはち害物あらずなりぬ
42 A man came from Baal Shalishah to the man of God and brought twenty loaves of barley bread in his sack from the new harvest, and fresh ears of grain. He said, “Give this to the people so they can eat.”
茲にバアルシヤリシヤより人來り初穂のパンと大麥のパン二十と圃の初物一袋とを神の人の許にもちいたりたればエリシヤ衆人にあたへて食はしめよと言ふに
43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But Elisha said, “Give this to the people, so they can eat, because Yahweh says, 'They will eat and will have some left.'”
その奴僕いひけるは如何にとや我これを百人の前にそなふべきかと然るに彼また言ふ衆人にあたへて食しめよ夫ヱホバかくいひたまふかれら食ふて尚あます所あらんと
44 So his servant set it before them; they ate, and left some remaining, just as the word of Yahweh promised.
すなはち之をその前にそなへたればみな食ふてなほ餘せりヱホバの言のごとし
