Judges 15
1 After some days, during the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said to himself, “I will go to my wife's room.” But her father would not allow him to go in.
日を經てのち麥秋の時にサムソン山羊羔をたづさへて妻のもとを訪ていひけるは我室に入てわが妻に會んと然るに妻の父其の入ことをゆるさず
2 Her father said, “I really thought you hated her, so I gave her to your friend. Her younger sister is more beautiful than she is, is she not? Take her instead.”
其父すなはちいひけるはわれまことに汝は彼の婦を嫌ひたりと意ひしがゆゑに彼を汝の伴侶たりし者に與へたり彼が妹は彼よりも善にあらずやねがはくは彼に代て之を汝のものとせよ
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be innocent in regard to the Philistines when I hurt them.”
サムソン彼らにいひけるは今回はわれペリシテ人に害を加ふるとも彼らに對して罪なかるべしと
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes and he tied together each pair, tail to tail. Then he took torches and tied them in the middle of each pair of tails.
サムソンすなはち往て山犬三百をとらへ火炬をとり尾と尾をあはせてその二つの尾の間に一つの火炬を結ひつけ
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and they set fire to both the stacked grain and the grain standing in the field, along with the vineyards and the olive orchards.
火炬に火をつけてペリシテ人のいまだ刈ざる麥のなかにこれを放ち入れその束ね積たるものといまだ刈ざるものを焚き橄欖の園にまで及ぼせり
6 The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson, the Timnite's son-in-law, did this because the Timnite took Samson's wife and gave her to his friend.” Then the Philistines went and burned up her and her father.
ペリシテ人いひけるは是は誰の行爲なるやこたへて言ふテムナテ人の婿サムソンなりそは彼サムソンの妻をとりて其伴侶なりし者に與へたればなりとここにおいてペリシテ人上りきたりて彼の婦とその父とを火にて燒きうしなへり
7 Samson said to them, “If this is what you do, I will get my revenge against you, and after that is done, I will stop.”
サムソンかれらに言ふ汝ら斯おこなへば我汝らに仇をむくはでは止じと
8 Then he cut them to pieces, hip and thigh, with a great slaughter. Then he went down and lived in a cave in the cliff of Etam.
すなはち脛に腿に彼らを撃て大いに之を殺せりかくてサムソンは下りてエタムの巖間に居る
9 Then the Philistines came up and they prepared for battle in Judah and set up their army in Lehi.
ここにおいてペリシテ人上り來りてユダに陣を取りレヒに布き備へたれば
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up to attack us?” They said, “We are attacking so we may capture Samson, and do to him as he has done to us.”
ユダの人々いひけるは汝ら何の故にわれらに攻めのぼりたるやとかれらこたへけるはサムソンをしばりて彼がわれらに爲しごとくかれに爲んとてのぼれるなりと
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this you have done to us?” Samson said to them, “They did to me, and so I have done to them.”
是をもてユダの人三千人エタムの巖間にくだりてサムソンにいふ汝ペリシテ人はわれらを轄るものなるを知らざるや汝などてかわれらに斯る事をなせしやサムソンかれらにいひけるは我は彼らが我に爲しごとく彼らに爲しなりと
12 They said to Samson, “We have come down to tie you up and give you into the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
かれらまたサムソンにいひけるは我らは汝をしばりてペリシテ人の手にわたさんとて下りきたれりサムソンかれらにいひけるは汝らの自われを害すまじきことを我に誓へ
13 They said to him, “No, we will only tie you with ropes and hand you over to them. We promise we will not kill you.” Then they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
彼ら之にかたりていふいなわれらはただ汝を縛りいましめてペリシテ人の手にわたさんのみわれらは必らず汝を殺さざるべしとすなはち二條の新しき索をもてかれをいましめて巖より之を携かへれり
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting as they met him. Then Yahweh's Spirit came on him with power. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and they fell off his hands.
サムソン、レヒにいたれるときペリシテ人聲を揚てかれに近づきしが時しもヱホバの靈彼にのぞみたればその腕にかかれる索は火に焚たる麻のごとくになりて手のいましめ解はなれたり
15 Samson found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and he picked it up and killed a thousand men with it.
サムソンすなはち驢馬のあたらしき腮骨ひとつを見出し手をのべて之を取り其をもて一千人を殺し
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.”
而して言ふ驢馬の腮骨をもて山をきづき山をつくる驢馬の腮骨をもて我一千人を撃殺せりと
17 When Samson finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone, and he called the place Ramath Lehi.
かく言終りてその手より腮骨をうちすて其處をラマテレヒと名けたり
18 Samson was very thirsty and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great victory to your servant. But now will I die of thirst and fall into the hands of those who are uncircumcised?”
時に彼渇をおぼゆること甚だしかりしかばヱホバによばはりていふ汝のしもべの手をもて汝この大なる拯をほどこしたまへるにわれ今渇きて死に割禮を受けざるものの手におちいらんとすと
19 God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi and water came out. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. So he called the name of that place En Hakkore, and it is at Lehi to this day.
ここにおいて神レヒに在るくぼめる所を裂きたまひしかば水そこより流れいでしがサムソン之を飮たれば精神舊に返りてふたたび爽になりぬ故に其名をエンハッコレ（呼はれるものの泉）と呼ぶ是今日にいたるまでレヒに在り
20 Samson judged Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.
サムソンはペリシテ人の治世の時に二十年イスラエルをさばけり
