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 a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee [to be] captain 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 hast departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth 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 plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee 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 from their hands.

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 hast come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will prophesy:

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 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 have come to 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 to thee, to offer burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to 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 company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came 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 formerly knew him saw, that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] hath 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

And one of the same place answered and said, But 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 to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that [they were] no where, 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 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

And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, 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 to the LORD to Mizpeh;

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 said to the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them 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

And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities, and your tribulations; and ye have said to him, [No], but 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

And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, 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

When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and 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 inquired of the LORD further, if the man would yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.

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 brought 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 the LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save 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 the LORD. 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 home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, 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 the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
