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 on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler 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 you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about 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 you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container 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 greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from 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 you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres 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 the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.

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 have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.

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

You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall 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

When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these 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 he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on 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

It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to 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

One of the same place answered, "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 finished prophesying, and went home,

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

then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went 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

Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to 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

Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.

17 サムエル民をミヅパにてヱホバのまへに集め

Samuel called the people together to the LORD 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 to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, 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 you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD 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

He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for 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 the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden 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

They ran and fetched him there; 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

Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."

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 regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place

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

Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD 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?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
