1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
サムエル年老て其子をイスラエルの士師となす
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
兄の名をヨエルといひ弟の名をアビヤといふベエルシバにありて士師たり
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after money, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
其子父の道をあゆまずして利にむかひ賄賂をとりて審判を曲ぐ
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
是においてイスラエルの長老みなあつまりてラマにゆきサムエルの許に至りて
5 And said to him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
これにいひけるは視よ汝は老い汝の子は汝の道をあゆまずさればわれらに王をたててわれらを鞫かしめ他の國々のごとくならしめよと
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
その我らに王をあたへて我らを鞫かしめよといふを聞てサムエルよろこばず而してサムエル、ヱホバにいのりしかば
7 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
ヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるは民のすべて汝にいふところのことばを聽け其は汝を棄るにあらず我を棄て我をして其王とならざらしめんとするなり
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to thee.
かれらはわがエジプトより救ひいだせし日より今日にいたるまで我をすてて他の神につかへて種々の所行をなせしごとく汝にもまた然す
9 Now therefore hearken to their voice: yet protest solemnly to them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
然れどもいま其言をきけ但し深くいさめて其治むべき王の常例をしめすべし
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people that asked of him a king.
サムエル王を求むる民にヱホバのことばをことごとく告て
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
いひけるは汝等ををさむる王の常例は斯のごとし汝らの男子をとり己れのために之をたてて車の御者となし騎兵となしまた其車の前驅となさん
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to till his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
また之をおのれの爲に千夫長五十夫長となしまた其地をたがへし其作物を刈らしめまた武器と車器とを造らしめん
13 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
また汝らの女子をとりて製香者となし厨婢となし灸麺者となさん
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
又汝らの田畝と葡萄園と橄欖園の最も善きところを取て其臣僕にあたへ
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
汝らの穀物と汝らの葡萄の什分一をとりて其官吏と臣僕にあたへ
16 And he will take your male servants, and your female servants, and your most choice young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
また汝らの僕婢および汝らの最も善き牛と汝らの驢馬を取ておのれのために作かしめ
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
又汝らの羊の十分一をとり又汝らを其僕となさん
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
其日において汝等己のために擇みし王のことによりて呼號らんされどヱホバ其日に汝らに聽たまはざるべしと
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
然るに民サムエルの言にしたがふことをせずしていひけるは否われらに王なかるべからず
20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
我らも他の國々の如くになり我らの王われらを鞫きわれらを率て我らの戰にたたかはん
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he reported them in the ears of the LORD.
サムエル民のことばを盡く聞て之をヱホバの耳に告ぐ
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.
ヱホバ、サムエルにいひたまひけるはかれらのことばを聽きかれらのために王をたてよサムエル、イスラエルの人々にいひけるは汝らおのおの其邑にかへるべし
