1 Kings 20
1 Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
スリアの王ベネハダデ其軍勢を悉く集む王三十二人彼と偕にあり又馬と戰車とあり乃ち上りてサマリアを圍み之を攻む
2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
彼使をイスラエルの王アハブに遣し邑に至りて彼に言しめけるはベネハダデ斯言ふ
3 ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
爾の金銀は我の所有なり亦爾の妻等と爾の子等の美秀者は我の所有なり
4 The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
イスラエルの王答へて言けるは王わが主よ爾の言の如く我と我が有つ者は皆爾の所有なり
5 The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
使者再び來りて言けるはベネハダデ斯語て言ふ我爾に爾我に爾の金銀妻子を付すべしと言遣れり
6 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
然ど明日今頃我が僕を爾に遣さん彼等爾の家と爾の臣僕の家を探索りて凡て爾の日に好ましく見ゆる者を其手に置て取り去るべしと
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
是においてイスラエルの王國の長老を皆召て言けるは請ふ爾等見て此人の害をなさんと求るを知れ彼人を我に遣りて我が妻子とわが金銀を索めたり而るに我之を謝絶ざりしと
8 All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
諸の長老および民皆彼に言けるは爾聽なかれ許すなかれと
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
是故に彼ベネハダデの使者に言けるは王わが主に告よ爾が最初に僕に言つかはしたる事は皆我爲べし然ど比事は我爲あたはずと使者往て反命をなせり
10 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
ベネハダデ彼に言つかはしけるは神等我に斯なし亦重て斯なしたまへサマリアの塵は我に從ふ諸の民の手に滿るに足ざるべしと
11 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
イスラエルの王答へて帶る者は解く者の如く誇るべからずと告よと言り
12 When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
ベネハダデ天幕にありて王等と飮ゐたりしが此事を聞て其臣僕に言けるは爾等陣列を爲せと即ち邑に向ひて陣列をなせり
13 Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
時に一人の預言者イスラエルの王アハブの許に至りて言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾此諸の大軍を見るや視よ我今日之を爾の手に付さん爾は我がヱホバなるを知にいたらんと
14 Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
アハブ言けるは誰を以てせんか彼いひけるはヱホバ斯いひたまふ諸省の牧伯の少者を以てすべしアハブ言ふ誰か戰爭を始むべき彼答けるは爾なりと
15 Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
アハブ乃ち諸省の牧伯の少者を核るに二百三十二人あり次に凡の民即ちイスラエルの凡の子孫を核るに七千人あり
16 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
彼等日中出たちたりしがベネハダデは天幕にて王等即ち己を助る三十二人の王等とともに飮て酔居たり
17 The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
諸省の牧伯の少者等先に出たりベネハダデ人を出すにサマリアより人衆出來ると彼に告ければ
18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
彼言けるは和睦のために出來るも之を生擒べし又戰爭のために出來るも之を生擒べしと
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
諸省の牧伯の是等の少者および之に從ふ軍勢邑より出きたり
20 They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
各其敵手を撃ち殺しければスリア人逃たりイスラエル之を追ふスリアの王ベネハダデは馬に乗り騎兵を從へて逃遁たり
21 The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
イスラエルの王出て馬と戰車を撃ち又大にスリア人を撃殺せり
22 The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
茲に彼預言者イスラエルの王の許に詣て彼に言けるは往て爾の力を養ひ爾の爲すべき事を知り辨ふべし年歸らばスリアの王爾に攻上るべければなりと
23 The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
スリアの王の臣僕王に言けるは彼等の神等は山崗の神なるが故に彼等は我等よりも強かりしなり然ども我等若平地に於て彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべし
24 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
但し此事を爲せ即ち王等を除きて各其處を離しめ方伯を置て之に代べし
25 Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
又爾の失ひたる軍勢に均き軍勢を爾のために備へ馬は馬戰車は戰車をもて補ふべし斯して我儕平地において彼等と戰はば必ず彼等よりも強かるべしと彼其言を聽いれて然なせり
26 At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
年かへるに及びてベネハダデ、スリア人を核めてアペクに上りイスラエルと戰はんとす
27 The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
イスラエルの子孫核められ兵糧を受て彼等に出會んとて往けりイスラエルの子孫は山羊の二の小群の如く彼等の前に陣どりしがスリア人は其地に充滿たり
28 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
時に神の人至りてイスラエルの王に告ていひけるはヱホバ斯言たまふスリア人ヱホバは山獄の神にして谿谷の神にあらずと言ふによりて我此諸の大軍を爾の手に付すべし爾等は我がヱホバなるを知に至らんと
29 They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
彼等七日互に相對て陣どり第七日におよびて戰爭を交接しがイスラエルの子孫一日にスリア人の歩兵十萬人を殺しければ
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
其餘の者はアベクに逃て邑に入ぬ然るに其石垣崩れて其存れる二萬七千人の上にたふれたりベネハダデは逃て邑にいたり奧の間に入ぬ
31 His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
其臣僕彼にいひけるは我儕イスラエルの家の王等は仁慈ある王なりと聞り請ふ我儕粗麻布を腰につけ繩を頭につけてイスラエルの王の所にいたらん彼爾の命を生むることあらんと
32 So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
斯彼等粗麻布を腰にまき繩を頭にまきてイスラエルの王の所にいたりていひけるは爾の僕ベネハダデ請ふ我が生命を生しめたまへと言ふとアハブいひけるは彼は尚生をるや彼はわが兄弟なりと
33 Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
其人々これを吉兆と爲し速に彼の言を承て爾の兄弟ベネハダデといへり彼言けるは爾等ゆきて彼を導ききたるべしと是においてベネハダデ彼の所に出來りしかば彼之を車に登しめたり
34 Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
ベネハダデ彼に言けるは我父の爾の父より取たる諸邑は我返すべし又我が父のサマリアに造りたる如く爾ダマスコに於て爾のために街衢を作るべしアハブ言ふ我此契約を以て爾を歸さんと斯彼と契約を爲て彼を歸せり
35 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
爰に預言者の徒の一人ヱホバの言によりて其同儕に請我を撃てといひけるが其人彼を撃つことを肯ぜざりしかば
36 Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
彼其人に言ふ汝ヱホバの言を聽ざりしによりて視よ汝の我をはなれて往く時獅子汝をころさんと其人彼の側を離れて往きけるに獅子之に遇て之を殺せり
37 Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
彼また他の人に遭て請ふ我を撃といひければ其人之を撃ち撃て傷けたり
38 So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
預言者往て王を途に待ち其目に掩巾をあてて儀容を變ゐたりしが
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
王の經過る時王に呼はりていひけるは僕戰爭の中に出しに人轉りて一箇の人を我の所に曳きたりて言けるは此人を守れ若彼失ゆく事あらば汝の生命を彼の生命に代べし或は爾銀一タラントを出すべしと
40 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”
而るに僕此彼に事をなしゐたれば彼遂に失たりとイスラエルの王彼にいひけるは爾の擬定は然なるべし爾之を決めたり
41 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
彼急ぎて其目の掩巾を取除たればイスラエルの王彼が預言者の一人なるを識り
42 He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
彼王に言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾はわが殲滅んと定めたる人を爾の手より放ちたれば爾の命は彼の生命に代り爾の民は彼の民に代るべしと
43 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
イスラエルの王憂へ且怒て其家に赴きサマリアに至れり
