サムエル記Ⅰ 14

1 其時サウルの子ヨナタン武器を執る若者にいひけるはいざ對面にあるペリシテ人の先陣に渉りゆかんと然ど其父には告ざりき

And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.

2 サウル、ギベアの極においてミグロンにある石榴の樹の下に住まりしが倶にある民はおよそ六百人なりき

And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.

3 又アヒヤ、エポデを衣てともにをるアヒヤはアヒトブの子アヒトブはイカボデの兄弟イカボデばピネハスの子ピネハスはシロにありてヱホバの祭司たりしエリの子なり民ヨナタンの行けるをしらざりき

And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

4 ヨナタンの渉りてペリシテ人の先陣にいたらんとする渡口の間に此傍に巉巌あり彼傍にも巉巌あり一の名をボゼツといひ一の名をセネといふ

And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.

5 其一は北に向ひてミクマシに對し一に南にむかひてゲバに對す

The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.

6 ヨナタン武器を執る少者にいふいざ我ら此割禮なき者どもの先陣にわたらんヱホバ我らのためにはたらきたまことあらん多くの人をもて救ふも少き人をもてすくふもヱホバにおいては妨げなし

And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.

7 武器をとるもの之にいひけるは總て汝の心にあるところをなせ進めよ我汝の心にしたがひて汝とともにあり

And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines towards: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.

8 ヨナタンいひけるは見よ我らかの人々のところにわたり身をかれらにあらはさん

And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.

9 かれら若し我らが汝らにいたるまでとどまれと斯く我らにいはば我らはこのままとどまりてかれらの所にのぼらじ

If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.

10 されど若し我らのところにのぼれとかくいはば我らのぼらんヱホバかれらを我らの手にわたしたまふなり是を徴となさんと

[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.

11 斯て二人其身をペリシテ人の先陣にあらはしければペリシテ人いひけるは視よヘブル人其かくれたる穴よりいで來ると

And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.

12 すなはち先陣の人ヨナタンと其武器を執る者にこたへて我等の所に上りきたれ目に物見せんといひしかばヨナタン武器を執る者にいひけるは我にしたがひてのぼれヱホバ彼らをイスラエルの手にわたしたまふなり

And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.

13 ヨナタン攀のぼり其武器を執るもの之にしたがふペリシテ人ヨナタンのまへに仆る武器をとる者も後にしたがひて之をころす

And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armour-bearer did strike [them] after him.

14 ヨナタンと其武器を取るもの手はじめに殺せし者およそ二十人此事田畑半段の内になれり

And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.

15 しかして野にある陣のものおよび凡ての民の中に戰慄おこり先陣の人および劫掠人もまたおののき地ふるひ動けり是は神よりの戰慄なりき

And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.

16 ベニヤミンのギベアにあるサウルの戌卒望見しに視よペリシテ人の群衆くづれて此彼にちらばる

And the watchmen of Saul saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.

17 時にサウルおのれとともなる民にいひけるは汝ら點驗て誰が我らの中よりゆきしかを見よとすなはちしらべたるにヨナタンとその武器を執るもの居らざりき

And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found.

18 サウル、アヒヤにエポデを持きたれといふ其はかれ此時イスラエルのまへにエポデを著たれば也

And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.

19 サウル祭司にかたれる時ペリシテ人の軍の騒いよいよましたりければサウル祭司にいふ姑く汝の手を措けと

And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.

20 かくてサウルおよびサウルと共にある民皆呼はりて戰ひに至るにペリシテ人おのおの劍を以て互に相撃ちければその敗績はなはだ大なりき

And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.

21 また此時よりまへにペリシテ人とともにありてペリシテ人と共に上りて陣に來るところのヘブル人もまた翻へりてサウルおよびヨナタンと共にあるイスラエル人に合せり

And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 又エフライムの山地にかくれたるイスラエル人皆ペリシテ人の逃るを聞てまた戰ひに出て之を追撃り

And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.

23 是の如くヱホバ此日イスラエルをすくひたまふ而して戰はベテアベンにうつれり

And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.

24 されど此日イスラエル人苦めり其はサウル民を誓はせて夕まで即ちわが敵に仇をむくゆるまでに食物を食ふ者は呪詛れんと言たればなり是故に民の中に食物を味ひし者なし

And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.

25 爰に民みな林森に至に地の表に蜜あり

And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.

26 即ち民森にいたりて蜜のながるるをみる然ども民誓を畏るれば誰も手を口につくる者なし

And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.

27 然にヨナタンは其父が民をちかはせしを聞ざりければ手にある杖の末をのばして蜜にひたし手を口につけたり是に由て其目あきらかになりぬ

And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.

28 時に民のひとり答て言けるは汝の父かたく民をちかはせて今日食物をくらふ人は呪詛はれんと言り是に由て民つかれたり

And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,

29 ヨナタンいひけるはわが父國を煩せり請ふ我この蜜をすこしく嘗しによりて如何にわが目の明かになりしかを見よ

and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.

30 ましてや民今日敵よりうばひし物を十分に食しならばペリシテ人をころすこと更におほかるべきにあらずや

Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter amongst the Philistines would have been greater.

31 イスラエル人かの日ペリシテ人を撃てミクマシよりアヤロンにいたる而して民はなはだ疲たり

And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.

32 是において民劫掠物に走かかり羊と牛と犢とを取りて之を地のうへにころし血のままに之をくらふ

And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.

33 人々サウルにつげていひけるは民肉を血のままに食ひて罪をヱホバにをかすとサウルいひけるは汝ら背けり直ちにわがもとに大石をまろばしきたれ

And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.

34 サウルまたいひけるは汝らわかれて民のうちにいりていへ人各其牛と各其羊をわがもとに引ききたり此處にてころしくらへ血のままにくらひて罪をヱホバに犯すなかれと此において民おのおのこの夜其牛を手にひききたりて之をかしこにころせり

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.

35 しかしてサウル、ヱホバに一つの壇をきづく是はサウルのヱホバに壇を築ける始なり

And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.

36 斯てサウルいひけるは我ら夜のうちにペリシテ人を追くだり夜明までかれらを掠めて一人をも殘すまじ皆いひけるは凡て汝の目に善とみゆる所をなせと時に祭司いひけるは我ら此にちかより神にもとめんと

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder amongst them till the day break, and let us not leave a man amongst them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither to God.

37 サウル神に我ペリシテ人をおひくだるべきか汝かれらをイスラエルの手にわたしたまふやと問けれど此日はこたへたまはざりき

And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.

38 是においてサウルいひけるは民の長たちよ皆此にちかよれ汝らみて今日のこの罪のいづくにあるを知れ

And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.

39 イスラエルを救ひたまへるヱホバはいく假令わが子ヨナタンにもあれ必ず死なざるべからずとされど民のうち一人もこれにこたへざりき

For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.

40 サウル、イスラエルの人々にいひけるはなんぢらは彼處にをれ我とわが子ヨナタンは此處にをらんと民いひけるは汝の目によしとみゆるところをなせ

And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.

41 サウル、イスラエルの神ヱホバにいひけるはねがはくは眞實をしめしたまへとかくてヨナタンとサウル籤にあたり民はのがれたり

And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.

42 サウルいひけるは我とわが子のあひだの鬮を掣けと即ちヨナタンこれにあたれり

And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.

43 サウル、ヨナタンにいひけるは汝がなせしところを我に告よヨナタンつげていひけるは我は只わが手の杖の末をもて少許の蜜をなめしのみなるが我しなざるをえず

And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.

44 サウルこたへけるは神かくなしまたかさねてかくなしたまヘヨナタンよ汝死ざるべからず

And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.

45 民サウルにいひけるはイスラエルの中に此大なるすくひをなせるヨナタン死ぬべけんや決めてしからずヱホバは生くヨナタンの髮の毛ひとすぢも地におつべからず其はかれ神とともに今日はたらきたればなりとかく民ヨナタンをすくひて死なざらしむ

And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.

46 サウル、ペリシテ人を追ことを息てのぼりぬペリシテ人其國にかへれり

And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.

47 かくてサウル、イスラエルの王の位につきて四方の敵を攻む即ちモアブ、アンモンの子孫エドム、ゾバの王たちおよびペリシテ人をせめけるに凡てむかふところにて勝利を得たり

And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.

48 サウル力をえアマレク人をうちてイスラエルを其劫掠人の手よりすくひいだせり

And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.

49 サウルの男子はヨナタン、ヱスイおよびマルキシユアなり其二人の女子の名は姉はメラブといひ妹はミカルといふ

And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.

50 サウルの妻の名はアヒノアムといひてアヒマアズの女子なり其軍の長の名はアブネルといひてサウルの叔父なるネルの子なり

And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.

51 サウルの父キシとアブネルの父ネルはアビエルの子なり

And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.

52 サウルの一生のあひだ恒にペリシテ人と烈しき戰ありサウルは力ある人または勇ある人を見るごとにこれをかかへたり

And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
