< サムエル記Ⅰ 17 >

1 爰にペリシテ人其軍を集めて戰はんとしユダに屬するシヨコにあつまりシヨコとアゼカの間なるバスダミムに陣をとる
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 サウルとイスラエルの人々集まりてエラの谷に陣をとりペリシテ人にむかひて軍の陣列をたつ
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 ペリシテ人は此方の山にたちイスラエルは彼方の山にたつ谷は其あひだにあり
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 時にペリシテ人の陣よりガテのゴリアテと名くる挑戰者いできたる其身の長六キユビト半
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
5 首に銅の盔を戴き身に鱗綴の鎧甲を着たり其よろひの銅のおもさは五千シケルなり
And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
6 また脛には銅の脛當を着け肩の間に銅の矛戟を負ふ
And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
7 其槍の柄は機の梁のごとく槍の鋒刃の鐵は六百シケルなり楯を執る者其前にゆく
Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of him.
8 ゴリアテ立てイスラエルの諸行伍によばはり云けるは汝らはなんぞ陣列をなして出きたるや我はペリシテ人にして汝らはサウルの臣下にあらずや汝ら一人をえらみて我ところにくだせ
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 其人もし我とたたかひて我をころすことをえば我ら汝らの臣僕とならんされど若し我かちてこれを殺さば汝ら我らの僕となりて我らに事ふ可し
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
10 かくて此ペリシテ人いひけるは我今日イスラエルの諸行伍を挑む一人をいだして我と戰はしめよと
The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
11 サウルおよびイスラエルみなペリシテ人のこの言を聞き驚きて大に懼れたり
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 抑ダビデはかのベテレヘムユダのエフラタ人ヱサイとなづくる者の子なり此人八人の子ありしがサウルの世には年邁みてすでに老たり
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
13 ヱサイの長子三人ゆきてサウルにしたがひて戰爭にいづ其戰にいでし三人の子の名は長をエリアブといひ次をアビナダブといひ第三をシヤンマといふ
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 ダビデは季子にして其兄三人はサウルにしたがへり
David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 ダビデはサウルに往來してベテレヘムにて其父の羊を牧ふ
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 彼ペリシテ人四十日のあひだ朝夕近づきて前にたてり
The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 時にヱサイ其子ダビデにいひけるは今汝の兄のために此烘麥一斗と此十のパンを取りて陣營にをる兄のところにいそぎゆけ
Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
18 また此十の乾酪をとりて其千夫の長におくり兄の安否を視て其返事をもちきたれと
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
19 サウルと彼等およびイスラエルの人は皆ペリシテ人とたたかひてエラの谷にありき
Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 ダビデ朝夙くおきて羊をひとりの牧者にあづけヱサイの命ぜしごとく携へゆきて車營にいたるに軍勢いでて行伍をなし鯨波をあげたり
So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
21 しかしてイスラエルとペリシテ人陣列をたてて行伍を行伍に相むかはせたり
And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
22 ダビデ其荷をおろして荷をまもる者の手にわたし行伍の中にはせゆきて兄の安否を問ふ
And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
23 ダビデ彼等と倶に語れる時視よペリシテ人の行伍よりガテのペリシテのゴリアテとなづくる彼の挑戰者のぼりきたり前のことばのごとく言しかばダビデ之を聞けり
As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 イスラエルの人其人を見て皆逃て之をはなれ痛く懼れたり
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
25 イスラエルの人いひけるは汝らこののぼり來る人を見しや誠にイスラエルを挑んとて上りきたるなり彼をころす人は王大なる富を以てこれをとまし其女子をこれにあたへて其父の家にはイスラエルの中にて租税をまぬかれしめん
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt in Israel."
26 ダビデ其傍にたてる人々にかたりていひけるは此ペリシテ人をころしイスラエルの耻辱を雪ぐ人には如何なることをなすや此割禮なきペリシテ人は誰なればか活る神の軍を搦む
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
27 民まへのごとく答へていひけるはかれを殺す人には斯のごとくせらるべしと
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
28 兄エリアブ、ダビデが人々とかたるを聞しかばエリアブ、ダビデにむかひて怒りを發しいひけるは汝なにのために此に下りしや彼の野にあるわづかの羊を誰にあづけしや我汝の傲慢と惡き心を知る其は汝戰爭を見んとて下ればなり
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 ダビデいひけるは我今なにをなしたるや只一言にあらずやと
David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
30 又ふりむきて他の人にむかひ前のごとく語れるに民まへのごとく答たり
Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
31 人々ダビデが語れる言をききてこれをサウルのまへにつげければサウルかれを召す
When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは人々かれがために氣をおとすべからず僕ゆきてかのペリシテ人とたたかはん
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
33 サウル、ダビデにいひけるは汝はかのペリシテ人をむかへてたたかふに勝ず其は汝は少年なるにかれは若き時よりの戰士なればなり
Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
34 ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは僕さきに父の羊を牧るに獅子と熊と來りて其群の羔を取たれば
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 其後をおひて之を搏ち羔を其口より援ひいだせりしかして其獣我に猛りかかりたれば其鬚をとらへてこれを撃ちころせり
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
36 僕は旣に獅子と熊とを殺せり此割禮なきペリシテ人活る神の軍をいどみたれば亦かの獣の一のごとくなるべし
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies of the living God?
37 ダビデまたいひけるはヱホバ我を獅子の爪と熊の爪より援ひいだしたまひたれば此ペリシテ人の手よりも援ひいだしたまはんとサウル、ダビデにいふ往けねがはくはヱホバ汝とともにいませ
Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go; and Jehovah shall be with you."
38 是においてサウルおのれの戎衣をダビデに衣せ銅の盔を其首にかむらせ亦鱗綴の鎧をこれにきせたり
And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
39 ダビデ戎衣のうへに劍を佩て往かんことを試む未だ驗せしことなければなりしかしてダビデ、サウルにいひけるは我いまだ驗せしことなければ是を衣ては往くあたはずと
And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off him.
40 ダビデこれを脱ぎすて手に杖をとり谿間より五の光滑なる石を拾ひて之を其持てる牧羊者の具なる袋に容れ手に投石索を執りて彼ペリシテ人にちかづく
Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
41 ペリシテ人進みきてダビデに近づけり楯を執るもの其まへにあり
So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of him.
42 ペリシテ人環視てダビデを見て之を藐視る其は少くして赤くまた美しき貌なればなり
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
43 ペリシテ人ダビデにいひけるは汝杖を持てきたる我豈犬ならんやとペリシテ人其神の名をもってダビデを呪詛ふ
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 しかしてペリシテ人ダビデにいひけるは我がもとに來れ汝の肉を空の鳥と野の獣にあたへんと
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
45 ダビデ、ペリシテ人にいひけるは汝は劍と槍と矛戟をもて我にきたる然ど我は萬軍のヱホバの名すなはち汝が搦みたるイスラエルの軍の神の名をもて汝にゆく
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 今日ヱホバ汝をわが手に付したまはんわれ汝をうちて汝の首級を取りペリシテ人の軍勢の尸體を今日空の鳥と地の野獣にあたへて全地をしてイスラエルに神あることをしらしめん
Today, Jehovah will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 且又この群衆みなヱホバは救ふに劍と槍を用ひたまはざることをしるにいたらん其は戰はヱホバによれば汝らを我らの手にわたしたまはんと
and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hand."
48 ペリシテ人すなはち立あがり進みちかづきてダビデをむかへしかばダビデいそぎ陣にはせゆきてペリシテ人をむかふ
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 ダビデ手を嚢にいれて其中より一つの石をとり投てペリシテ人の顙を撃ければ石其顙に突きいりて俯伏に地にたふれたり
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
50 かくダビデ投石索と石をもてペリシテ人にかちペリシテ人をうちて之をころせり然どダビデの手には劍なかりしかば
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 ダビデはしりてペリシテ人の上にのり其劍を取て之を鞘より抜きはなしこれをもて彼をころし其首級を斬りたり爰にペリシテの人々其勇士の死るを見てにげしかば
Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 イスラエルとユダの人おこり喊呼をあげてペリシテ人をおひガテの入口およびエクロンの門にいたるペリシテ人の負傷人シヤライムの路に仆れてガテおよびエクロンにおよぶ
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 イスラエルの子孫ペリシテ人をおふてかへり其陣を掠む
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 ダビデかのペリシテ人の首を取りて之をエルサレムにたづさへきたりしが其甲冑はおのれの天幕におけり
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 サウル、ダビデがペリシテ人にむかひて出るを見て軍長アブネルにいひけるはアブネル此少者はたれの子なるやアブネルいひけるは王汝の霊魂は生くわれしらざるなり
When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
56 王いひけるはこの少年はたれの子なるかを尋ねよ
The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
57 ダビデかのペリシテ人を殺してかへれる時アブネルこれをひきて其ペリシテ人の首級を手にもてるままサウルのまへにつれゆきければ
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 サウルかれにいひけるは若き人よ汝はたれの子なるやダビデこたへけるは汝の僕ベテレヘム人ヱサイの子なり
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
