1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with 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 and sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
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 and saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons — 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 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'According to thy word, my lord, O king: I [am] thine, 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 And the messengers turn back and say, 'Thus spake Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost give;
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 for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes they place in their hand, and have taken 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 And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, 'Know, I pray you, and see that evil this [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from 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 And all the elders and all the people say unto him, 'Do not hearken, nor 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 And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, 'Say to my lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the messengers go and take him back word.
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 And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, 'Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.'
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 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armour].'
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 And it cometh to pass at the hearing of this word — and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths — that he saith unto his servants, 'Set yourselves;' and they set themselves against 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 And lo, a certain prophet hath come nigh unto Ahab king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, 'Hast thou seen all this great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 And Ahab saith, 'By whom?' and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and he saith, 'Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, 'Thou.'
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 And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after them he hath inspecteth the whole of the people, all the sons of Israel, 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 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking — drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings, helping 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 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him, saying, 'Men have come out of 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 And he saith, 'If for peace they have come out — catch them alive; and if for battle they have come out — alive catch them.'
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 And these have gone out of the city — the young men of the heads of the provinces — and the force that [is] after 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 and smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse, and the 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 and the king of Israel goeth out, and smiteth the horses, and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans a great smiting.
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 And the prophet cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and saith to him, 'Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against thee.'
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 And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him, 'Gods of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain — are we not 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 'And this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
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 and thou, number to thee a force as the force that is fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth 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 And it cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to battle with 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 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have filled the land.
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 And there cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that the Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not God of valleys — I have given the whole of this great multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 And they encamp one over-against another seven days, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram — a hundred thousand footmen 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 And those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the innermost part.
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 And his servants say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel — that they are kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel; it may be he doth keep thee alive.'
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 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, 'Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, 'Is he yet 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 And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, 'Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, 'Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on 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 And he saith unto him, 'The cities that my father took from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' — 'and I, with a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant, and sendeth him away.
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 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour by the word of Jehovah, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man refuseth to smite 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 and he saith to him, 'Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth 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 And he findeth another man, and saith, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man smiteth him, smiting and wounding,
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 and the prophet goeth and standeth for the king on the way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on 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 And it cometh to pass — the king is passing by — that he hath cried unto the king, and saith, 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a talent of silver thou dost weigh out;
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 and it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him, Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [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 And he hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] 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 and he saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because thou hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy life hath been for his life, and thy people for 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 and the king of Israel goeth unto his house, sulky and wroth, and cometh in 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
