サムエル記Ⅰ 10

1 サムエルすなはち膏の瓶をとりてサウルの頭に沃ぎ口接して曰けるはヱホバ汝をたてて其產業の長となしたまふにあらずや

Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?

2 汝今日我をはなれて去りゆく時ベニヤミンの境のゼルザにあるラケルの墓のかたはらにて二人の人にあふべしかれら汝にいはん汝がたづねにゆきし驢馬は見あたりぬ汝の父驢馬のことをすてて汝らのことをおもひわづらひわが子の事をいかがすべきやといへりと

When thou art departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found; and, lo, thy father hath left off caring for the asses, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

3 其處より汝尚すすみてタボルの橡の樹のところにいたらんに彼處にてベテルにのぼり神にまうでんとする三人の者汝にあはん一人は三頭の山羊羔を携へ一人は三團のパンをたづさへ一人は一嚢の酒をたづさふ

Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the oak of Tabor; and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

4 かれら汝に安否をとひ二團のパンを汝にあたへん汝之を其手よりうくべし

and they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shalt receive of their hand.

5 其の後汝神のギベアにいたらん其處にペリシテ人の代官あり汝彼處にゆきて邑にいるとき一群の預言者の瑟と鼗と笛と琴を前に執らせて預言しつつ崇邱をくだるにあはん

After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:

6 其の時神のみたま汝にのぞみて汝かれらとともに預言し變りて新しき人とならん

and the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

7 是らの徴汝の身におこらば手のあたるにまかせて事を爲すべし神汝とともにいませばなり

And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee; for God is with thee.

8 汝我にさきだちてギルガルにくだるべし我汝の許にくだりて燔祭を供へ酬恩祭を献げんわが汝のもとに至り汝の爲すべきことを示すまで汝七日のあひだ待つべし

And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.

9 サケウル背をかへしてサムエルを離れし時神之に新しき心をあたへたまふしかして此しるし皆其日におこれり

And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

10 ふたり彼處にゆきてギベアにいたれるときみよ一群の預言者これにあふしかして神の霊サウルにのぞみてサウルかれらの中にありて預言せり

And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.

11 素よりサウルを識る人々サウルの預言者と偕に預言するを見て互ひにいひけるはキシの子サウル今何事にあふやサウルも預言者の中にあるやと

And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

12 其處の人ひとり答へて彼等の父は誰ぞやといふ是故にサウルも預言者の中にあるやといふは諺となれり

And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

13 サウル預言を終て崇邱にいたるに

And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.

14 サウルの叔父サウルと僕にいひけるは汝ら何處にゆきしやサウルいひけるは驢馬を尋ねに出しが何處にもをらざるを見てサムエルの許にいたれり

And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.

15 サウルの叔父いひけるはサムエルは汝に何をいひしか請ふ我につげよ

And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.

16 サウル叔父にいひけるは明かに驢馬の見あたりしを告げたりと然れどもサムエルが言る國王の事はこれにつげざりき

And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.

17 サムエル民をミヅパにてヱホバのまへに集め

And Samuel called the people together unto Jehovah to Mizpah;

18 イスラエルの子孫にいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯くいひたまふ我イスラエルをみちびきてエジプトより出し汝らをエジプト人の手および凡て汝らを虐遇る國人の手より救ひいだせり

and he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:

19 然るに汝らおのれを患難と難苦のうちより救ひいだしたる汝らの神を棄て且否われらに王をたてよといへり是故にいま汝等の支派と群にしたがひてヱホバのまへに出よ

but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.

20 サムエル、イスラエルの諸の支派を呼よせし時ベニヤミンの支派籤にあたりぬ

So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

21 またベニヤミンの支派を其族のかずにしたがひて呼よせしときマテリの族籤にあたりキシの子サウル籤にあたれり人々かれを尋ねしかども見出ざれば

And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found.

22 またヱホバに其人は此に來るや否やを問しにヱホバ答たまはく視よ彼は行李のあひだにかくると

Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.

23 人々はせゆきて彼を其處よりつれきたれり彼民の中にたつに肩より以上民の何の人よりも高かりき

And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

24 サムエル民にいひけるは汝らヱホバの擇みたまひし人を見るか民のうちに是人の如き者とし民みなよばはりいひけるは願くは王いのちながかれ

And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, [Long] live the king.

25 時にサムエル王國の典章を民にしめして之を書にしるし之をヱホバのまへに蔵めたりしかしてサムエル民をことごとく其家にかへらしむ

Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

26 サウルもまたギベアの家にかへるに神に心を感ぜられたる勇士等これとともにゆけり

And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched.

27 然れども邪なる人々は彼人いかで我らを救はんやといひて之を蔑視り之に禮物をおくらざりしかどサウルは唖のごとくせり

But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
