サムエル記Ⅰ 13
1 サウル三十歳にて王の位に即く彼二年イスラエルををさめたり
Saul was...years old when he became king; and he reigned two years over Israel.
2 爰にサウル、イスラエル人三千を擇む其二千はサウルとともにミクマシおよびベテルの山地にあり其一千はヨナタンとともにベニヤミンのギベアにあり其餘の民はサウルおのおの其幕屋にかへらしむ
And Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel: there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 ヨナタン、ゲバにあるペリシテ人の代官をころせりペリシテ人之れをきく是においてサウル國中にあまねくラツパを吹ていはしめけるはヘブル人よ聞くべし
And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 イスラエル人皆聞けるに云くサウル、ペリシテ人の代官を撃りしかしてイスラエル、ペリシテ人の中に惡まると斯て民めされてサウルにしたがひギルガルにいたる
And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and Israel also has become odious to the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰はんとて集りけるが兵車三百騎兵六千にして民は濱の沙の多きがごとくなりき彼らのぼりてベテアベンにむかへるミクマシに陣をとれり
And the Philistines were assembled together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven.
6 イスラエルの人苦められ其危きを見て皆巖穴に林叢に崗巒に高塔に坎阱にかくれたり
And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed); and the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in cliffs, and in strongholds, and in pits.
7 また或るヘブル人はヨルダンを渉りてガドとギレアデの地にいたる然るにサウルは尚ギルガルにあり民皆戰慄て之にしたがふ
And the Hebrews went over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. And Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 サウル、サムエルの定めし期にしたがひて七日とどまりしがサムエル、ギルガルに來らず民はなれて散ければ
And he waited seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9 サウルいひけるは燔祭と酬恩祭を我にもちきたれと遂に燔祭をささげたり
And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the burnt-offering.
10 燔祭をささぐることを終しときに視よサムエルいたるサウル安否を問はんとてこれをいで迎ふに
And it came to pass, as soon as he had ended offering up the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 サムエルいひけるは汝何をなせしやサウルいひけるは我民の我をはなれてちりまた汝の定まれる日のうちに來らずしてペリシテ人のミクマシに集まれるを見しかば
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou didst not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash,
12 ペリシテ人ギルガルに下りて我をおそはんに我いまだヱホバをなごめずといひて勉て燔祭をささげたり
I said, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offered up the burnt-offering.
13 サムエル、サウルにいひけるは汝おろかなることをなせり汝その神ヱホバのなんぢに命じたまひし命令を守らざりしなり若し守りしならばヱホバ、イスラエルををさむる位を永く汝に定めたまひしならん
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God which he commanded thee; for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
14 然どもいま汝の位たもたざるべしヱホバ其心に適ふ人を求めてヱホバ之に其民の長を命じたまへり汝がヱホバの命ぜしことを守らざるによる
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah has sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him ruler over his people; for thou hast not kept what Jehovah commanded thee.
15 かくてサムエルたちてギルガルよりベニヤミンのギベアにのぼりいたる
And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 サウルおのれとともにある民をかぞふるに凡そ六百人ありき
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin; and the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 サウルおよび其子ヨナタン並にこれとともにある民はベニヤミンのゲバに居りペリシテ人はミクマシに陣を張る
And the ravagers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned the way of Ophrah, into the land of Shual;
18 劫掠人三隊にわかれてペリシテ人の陣よりいで一隊はオフラの路にむかひてシユアルの地にいたり
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and the other company turned the way to the district that looks over the ravine of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 一隊はベテホロンの道に向ひ一隊は曠野の方にあるゼボイムの谷をのぞむ境の路にむかふ
Now there was no smith found throughout the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
20 時にイスラエルの地のうち何處にも鐵工なかりき是はペリシテ人ヘブル人の劍あるひは槍を作ることを恐れたればなり
And all Israel went down to the Philistines, every man to get his ploughshare, and his hoe, and his axe, and his sickle sharpened,
21 イスラエル人皆其耜鋤斧耒即ち耜鋤三歯鍬斧の錣に缺ありてこれを鍛ひ改さんとする時又は鞭を尖らさんとする時は常にペリシテ人の所にくだれり
when the edges of the sickles, and the hoes, and the forks, and the axes were blunted; and to set the goads.
22 是をもて戰の日にサウルおよびヨナタンとともにある民の手には劍も槍も見えず只サウルと其子ヨナクンのみ持り
And it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found.
23 茲にペリシテ人の先陣ミクマシの渡口に進む
And a garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
