1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goeth out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
イスラエル人ペリシテ人にいであひて戰はんとしエベネゼルの邊に陣をとりペリシテ人はアベクに陣をとる
2 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreadeth itself, and Israel is smitten before the Philistines, and they smite among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
ペリシテ人イスラエル人にむかひて陣列をなせり戰ふにおよびてイスラエル人ペリシテ人のまへにやぶるペリシテ人戰場において其軍四千人ばかりを殺せり
3 And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of Israel say, 'Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth save us out of the hand of our enemies.'
民陣營にいたるにイスラエルの長老曰けるはヱホバ何故に今日我等をペリシテ人のまへにやぶりたまひしやヱホバの契約の櫃をシロより此にたづさへ來らん其櫃われらのうちに來らば我らを敵の手よりすくひいだすことあらんと
4 And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there [are] two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
かくて民人をシロにつかはしてケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバの契約の櫃を其處よりたづさへきたらしむ時にエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス神の契約のはことともに彼處にありき
5 And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto the camp, that all Israel shout — a great shout — and the earth is moved.
ヱホバの契約の櫃陣營にいたりしときイスラエル人皆大によばはりさけびければ地なりひびけり
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, 'What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come in unto the camp.
ペリシテ人喊呼の聲を聞ていひけるはヘブル人の陣營に起れる此大なるさけびの聲は何ぞやと遂にヱホバの櫃の其陣營にいたれるを知る
7 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, 'God hath come in unto the camp;' and they say, 'Woe to us, for there hath not been like this heretofore.
ペリシテ人おそれていひけるは神陣營にいたる又いひけるは鳴呼われら禍なるかな今にいたるまで斯ることなかりき
8 Woe to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these honourable gods? these [are] the gods who are smiting the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
ああ我等禍なるかな誰かわれらを是らの強き神の手よりすくひいださんや此等の神は昔し諸の災を以てエジプト人を曠野に撃し者なり
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest ye do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you — then ye have become men, and have fought.'
ペリシテ人よ強くなり豪傑のごとく爲せヘブル人がかつて汝らに事へしごとく汝らこれに事ふるなかれ豪傑のごとく爲して戰へよ
10 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen;
かくてペリシテ人戰ひしかばイスラエル人やぶれて各々其天幕に逃かへる戰死はなはだ多くイスラエルの歩兵の仆れし者三萬人なりき
11 and the ark of God hath been taken, and the two sons of Eli have died, Hophni and Phinehas.
又神の櫃は奪はれエリの二人の子ホフニとピネハス殺さる
12 And a man of Benjamin runneth out of the ranks, and cometh into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] rent, and earth on his head;
是日ベニヤミンの一人軍中より走來り其衣を裂き土をかむりてシロにいたる
13 and he cometh in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart hath been trembling for the ark of God, and the man hath come in to declare [it] in the city, and all the city crieth out.
其いたれる時エリ道の傍に壇に坐して觀望居たり其心に神の櫃のことを思ひ煩らひたればなり其人いたり邑にて人々に告ければ邑こぞりてさけびたり
14 And Eli heareth the noise of the cry, and saith, 'What — the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and cometh in, and declareth to Eli.
エリ此呼號の聲をききていひけるは是喧嘩の聲は何なるやと其人いそぎきたりてエリにつぐ
15 And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he hath not been able to see.
時にエリ九十八歳にして其目かたまりて見ることあたはず
16 And the man saith unto Eli, 'I [am] he who hath come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he saith, 'What hath been the matter, my son?'
其人エリにいひけるは我は軍中より來れるもの我今日軍中より逃れたりエリいひけるは吾子よ事いかん
17 And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, 'Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have died — Hophni and Phinehas — and the ark of God hath been captured.'
使人答へていひけるはイスラエル人ペリシテ人の前に逃げ且民の中に大なる戰死ありまた汝の二人の子ホフニとピネハスは殺され神の櫃は奪はれたり
18 And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God, that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years.
神の櫃のことを演しときエリ其壇より仰けに門の傍におち頸をれて死ねり是はかれ老て身重かりければなり其イスラエルを鞫しは四十年なりき
19 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her.
エリの媳ピネハスの妻孕みて子產ん時ちかかりしが神の櫃の奪はれしと舅と夫の死にしとの傳言を聞しかば其痛みおこりきたり身をかがめて子を產り
20 And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, 'Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
其死なんとする時傍にたてる婦人これにいひけるは懼るるなかれ汝男子を生りと然ども答へず又かへりみず
21 and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, 'Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
只榮光イスラエルをさりぬといひて其子をイカボデ(榮なし)と名く是は神の櫃奪はれしによりまた舅と夫の故に因るなり
22 And she saith, 'Honour hath removed from Israel, for the ark of God hath been taken.'
またいひけるは榮光イスラエルをさりぬ神の櫃うばはれたればなり
