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 nowe had beene King one yeere, and he reigned two yeeres ouer 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

Then Saul chose him three thousand of Israel: and two thousande were with Saul in Michmash, and in mount Beth-el, and a thousande were with Ionathan in Gibeah of Beniamin: and the rest of the people he sent euery one 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 Ionathan smote the garison of the Philistims, that was in the hill: and it came to the Philistims eares: and Saul blewe the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Heare, O yee Ebrewes.

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 al Israel heard say, Saul hath destroied a garison of the Philistims: wherefore Israel was had in abomination with the Philistims: and the people gathered 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

The Philistims also gathered themselues together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand charets, and sixe thousande horsemen: for the people was like the sand which is by the seas side in multitude, and came vp, and pitched in Michmash Eastward from Beth-auen.

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 when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were in distresse) the people hid themselues in caues, and in holdes, and in rockes, and in towres, and in pittes.

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 some of the Ebrewes went ouer Iorden vnto the lande of Gad and Gilead: and Saul was yet in Gilgal, and al the people for feare followed him.

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 taried seuen daies, according vnto the time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefore 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 sayde, Bring a burnt offering to me and peace offrings: and he offered a 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 assoone as hee had made an ende of offering the burnt offering, beholde, Samuel came: and Saul went foorth to meete him, to 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 saide, What hast thou done? Then Saul saide, Because I sawe that the people was scattred from me, and that thou camest not within the daies appoynted, and that the Philistims gathered themselues together to 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

Therefore said I, The Philistims will come downe nowe vpon me to Gilgal, and I haue not made supplication vnto the Lord. I was bolde therefore and offred a burnt offring.

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 saide to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandement of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for the Lord had nowe stablished thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer.

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 nowe thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his owne heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be gouernour ouer his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord had 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 gate him vp from Gilgal in Gibeah of Beniamin: and Saul nombred the people that were found with him, about sixe hundreth 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 Ionathan his sonne, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Beniamin: but the Philistims pitched 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 there came out of the hoste of the Philistims three bandes to destroie, one bande turned vnto the way of Ophrah vnto the lande 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 bad turned toward the way to Beth-horon, and the third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, towarde the wildernesse.

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

Then there was no smith founde throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistims sayde, Lest the Ebrewes make them swordes or speares.

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

Wherefore all ye Israelites went downe to the Philistims, to sharpen euery man his share, his mattocke, and his axe, and his weeding hooke.

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

Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattockes, and for the picke forkes, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goades.

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

So whe the day of battell was come, there was neither sworde nor speare founde in the handes of any of the people that were with Saul and with Ionathan: but onely with Saul and Ionathan his sonne was there founde.

23 茲にペリシテ人の先陣ミクマシの渡口に進む

And the garison of the Philistims came out to the passage of Michmash.
