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
A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years he hath reigned 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 chooseth for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and a thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath sent each to his tents.
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 smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet through all 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 have heard, saying, 'Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines,' and also, 'Israel hath been abhorred by the Philistines;' and the people are called 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 have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of 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 have seen that they are distressed, that the people hath been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, 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 Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after 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 waiteth seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel hath not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off 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 saith, 'Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings;' and he causeth the burnt-offering to ascend.
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 cometh to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul goeth out to meet him, to bless 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 saith, 'What hast thou done?' And Saul saith, 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and thou hadst not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered 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
and I say, Now do the Philistines come down unto me to Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.'
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 saith unto Saul, 'Thou hast been foolish; thou hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom over Israel unto the age;
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
and, now, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept that which 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 riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth the people who are 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 who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have 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 destroyer goeth out from the camp of the Philistines — three detachments; the one detachment turneth unto the way of Ophrah, unto 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 the one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and the one detachment turneth the way of the border which is looking on the valley of the 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
And an artificer is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, 'Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear;'
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 go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each his ploughshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
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
and there hath been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up 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 hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan — and there is found to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 茲にペリシテ人の先陣ミクマシの渡口に進む
And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the passage of Michmash.
