サムエル記Ⅰ 15
1 茲にサムエル、サウルにいひけるはヱホバ我をつかはし汝に膏を沃ぎて其民イスラエルの王となさしめたりさればヱホバの言の聲をきけ
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ我アマレクがイスラエルになせし事すなはちエジプトよりのぼれる時其途を遮りしをかへりみる
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 今ゆきてアマレクを撃ち其有る物をことごとく滅しつくし彼らを憐むなかれ男女童稚哺乳兒牛羊駱駝驢馬を皆殺せ
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 サウル民をよびあつめてこれをテライムに核ふ歩兵二十萬ユダの人一萬あり
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 しかしてサウル、アマレクの邑にいたりて谷に兵を伏たり
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6 サウル、ケニ人にいひけるは汝らゆきてさりアマレク人をはなれくだるべし恐らくはかれらとともに汝らをほろぼすにいたらんイスラエルの子孫のエジプトよりのぼれる時汝らこれに恩みをほどこしたりと即ちケニ人アマレク人をはなれてさりぬ
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 サウル、アマレク人をうちてハビラよりエジプトの東面なるシユルにいたる
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt.
8 サウル、アマレク人の王アガグを生擒り刃をもて其民をことごとくほろぼせり
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 然ども、サウルと民アガグをゆるしまた羊と牛の最も嘉きもの及び肥たる物並に羔と凡て善き物を殘して之をほろぼしつくすをこのまず但惡き弱き物をほろぼしつくせり
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 時にヱホバの言サムエルにのぞみていはく
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
11 我サウルを王となせしを悔ゆ其は彼背きて我にしたがはずわが命をおこなはざればなりとサムエル憂て終夜ヱホバによばはれり
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
12 かくてサムエル、サウルにあはんとて夙く起きけるにサムエルにつぐるものありていふサウル、カルメルにいたり勝利の表を立て轉り進みてギルガルにくだれりと
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 サムエル、サウルの許に至りければサウルこれにいひけるは汝がヱホバより福祉を得んことをねがふ我ヱホバの命を行へりと
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
14 サムエルいひけるは然らばわが耳にいる此羊の聲およびわがきく牛のこゑは何ぞや
And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15 サウルいひけるは人々これをアマレク人のところより引ききたれり其は民汝の神ヱホバにささげんために羊と牛の最も嘉きものをのこせばなり其ほかは我らほろぼしつくせり
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16 サムエル、サウルにいけるは止まれ昨夜ヱホバの我にかたりたまひしことを汝につげんサウルいひけるはいへ
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17 サムエルいひけるはさきに汝が微き者とみづから憶へる時に爾イスラエルの支派の長となりしに非ずや即ちヱホバ汝に膏を注いでイスラエルの王となせり
And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
18 ヱホバ汝を途に遣はしていひたまはく往て惡人なるアマレク人をほろぼし其盡るまで戰へよと
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19 何故に汝ヱホバの言をきかずして敵の所有物にはせかかりヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしや
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
20 サウル、サムエルにひけるは我誠にヱホバの言にしたがひてヱホバのつかはしたまふ途にゆきアマレクの王アガグを執きたりアマレクをほろぼしつくせり
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 ただ民其ほろぼしつくすべき物の最初としてギルガルにて汝の神ヱホバにささげんとて敵の物の中より羊と牛をとれり
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
22 サムエルいひけるはヱホバはその言にしたがふ事を善したまふごとく燔祭と犠牲を善したまふや夫れ順ふ事は犠牲にまさり聽く事は牡羔の脂にまさるなり
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 其は違逆は魔術の罪のごとく抗戻は虚しき物につかふる如く偶像につかふるがごとし汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバもまた汝をすてて王たらざらしめたまふ
For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king.
24 サウル、サムエルにいひけるに我ヱホバの命と汝の言をやぶりて罪ををかしたり是は民をおそれて其言にしたがひたるによりてなり
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 されば今ねがはくはわがつみをゆるし我とともにかへりて我をしてヱホバを拝することをえさしめよ
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
26 サムエル、サウルにいひけるは我汝とともにかへらじ汝ヱホバの言を棄たるによりヱホバ汝をすててイスラエルに王たらしめたまはざればなり
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27 サムエル去らんとて振還しときサウルその明衣の裾を捉へしかば裂たり
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 サムエルかれにいひけるは今日ヱホバ、イスラエルの國を裂て汝よりはなし汝の隣なる汝より善きものにこれをあたへたまふ
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou.
29 またイスラエルの能力たる者は謊らず悔ず其はかれは人にあらざればくゆることなし
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.
30 サウルいひけるは我罪ををかしたれどねがはくはわが民の長老のまへおよびイスラエルのまへにて我をたふとみて我とともにかへり我をして汝の神ヱホバを拝むことをえさしめよ
Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
31 ここにおいてサムエル、サウルにしたがひてかへるしかしてサウル、ヱホバを拝む
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
32 時にサムエルいひけるは汝らわが許にアマレクの王アガグをひききたれとアガグ喜ばしげにサムエルの許にきたりアガグいひけるは死の苦みは必ず過さりぬ
Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 サムエルいひけるに汝の劍はおほくの婦人を子なき者となせりかくのごとく汝の母は婦人の中の最も子なき者となるべしとサムエル、ギルガルにてヱホバのまへにおいてアガグを斬り
And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 かくてサムエルはラマにゆきサウルはサウルのギベアにのぼりてその家にいたる
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 サムエル其しぬる日までふたたびきたりてサウルをみざりきしかれどもサムエル、サウルのためにかなしめりまたヱホバはサウルをイスラエルの王となせしを悔たまへり
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
