< サムエル記Ⅰ 18 >

1 ダビデ、サウルにかたることを終しときヨナタンの心ダビデの心にむすびつきてヨナタンおのれの命のごとくダビデを愛せり
And when he had made an ende of speaking vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathan was knit with the soule of Dauid, and Ionathan loued him, as his owne soule.
2 此日サウル、ダビデをかかへて父の家にかへらしめず
And Saul tooke him that day, and woulde not let him returne to his fathers house.
3 ヨナタンおのれの命のごとくダビデを愛せしかばヨナタンとダビデ契約をむすべり
Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant: for he loued him as his owne soule.
4 ヨナタンおのれの衣たる明衣を脱てダビデにあたふ其戎衣および其刀も弓も帶もまたしかせり
And Ionathan put off the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 ダビデは凡てサウルが遣はすところにいでゆきて功をあらはしければサウルかれを兵隊の長となせりしかしてダビデ民の心にかなひ又サウルの僕の心にもかなふ
And Dauid went out whithersoeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe wisely: so that Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants.
6 衆人かへりきたれる時すなはちダビデ、ペリシテ人をころして還れる時婦女イスラエルの邑々よりいできたり鼗と祝歌と磬をもちて歌ひまひつつサウル王を迎ふ
When they came againe, and Dauid returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, the women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dauncing to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with instruments of ioy, and with rebeckes.
7 婦人踊躍つつ相こたへて歌ひけるはサウルは千をうち殺しダビデは萬をうちころすと
And the women sang by course in their play, and sayd, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand.
8 サウル甚だ怒りこの言をよろこばずしていひけるは萬をダビデに歸し千をわれに歸す此上かれにあたふべき者は唯國のみと
Therefore Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayde, They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, and to me they haue ascribed but a thousand, and what can he haue more saue the kingdome?
9 サウルこの日より後ダビデを目がけたり
Wherefore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forward.
10 次の日神より出たる惡鬼サウルにのぞみてサウル家のなかにて預言したりしかばダビデ故のごとく手をもつて琴をひけり時にサウルの手に投槍ありければ
And on the morowe, the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the middes of the house: and Dauid played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a speare in Sauls hand.
11 サウル我ダビデを壁に刺とほさんといひて其投槍をさしあげしがダビデ二度身をかはしてサウルをさけたり
And Saul tooke the speare, and sayd, I will smite Dauid through to the wall. But Dauid auoyded twise out of his presence.
12 ヱホバ、サウルをはなれてダビデと共にいますによりてサウル彼をおそれたり
And Saul was afrayd of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 是故にサウル彼を遠ざけて千夫長となせりダビデすなはち民のまへに出入す
Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went out and in before the people.
14 またダビデすべて其ゆくところにて功をあらはし且ヱホバかれとともにいませり
And Dauid behaued himselfe wisely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him.
15 サウル、ダビデが大に功をあらはすをみてこれを恐れたり
Wherefore when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afrayde of him.
16 しかれどもイスラエルとユダの人はみなダビデを愛せり彼が其前に出入するによりてなり
For all Israel and Iudah loued Dauid, because he went out and in before them.
17 サウル、ダビデにいひけるはわれわが長女メラブを汝に妻さん汝ただわがために勇みヱホバの軍に戰ふべしと其はサウルわが手にてかれを殺さでペリシテ人の手にてころさんとおもひたればなり
Then Saul sayd to Dauid, Beholde mine eldest daughter Merab, her I will giue thee to wife: onely be a valiant sonne vnto me, and fight the Lordes battels: for Saul thought, Mine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hand of the Philistims shalbe vpon him.
18 ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは我は誰ぞわが命はなんぞわが父の家はイスラエルにおいて何なる者ぞや我いかでか王の婿となるべけんと
And Dauid answered Saul, What am I? and what is my life, or the family of my father in Israel, that I should be sonne in law to the King?
19 然るにサウルの女子メラブはダビデに嫁ぐべき時におよびてメホラ人アデリエルに妻されたり
Howbeit when Merab Sauls daughter should haue bene giuen to Dauid, she was giuen vnto Adriel a Meholathite to wife.
20 サウルの女ミカル、ダビデを愛す人これを王に告ければサウル其事を善しとせり
Then Michal Sauls daughter loued Dauid: and they shewed Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 サウルいひけるは我ミカルをかれにあたへて彼を謀る手段となしペリシテ人の手にてかれを殺さんといひてサウル、ダビデにいひけるは汝今日ふたたびわが婿となるべし
Therefore Saul said, I wil giue him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistims may bee against him. Wherefore Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou shalt this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twayne.
22 かくてサウル其僕に命じけるは汝ら密にダビデにかたりて言へ視よ王汝を悦び王の僕みな汝を愛すされば汝王の婿となるべしと
And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with Dauid secretly, and say, Behold, ye King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in law.
23 サウルの僕此言をダビデの耳に語りしかばダビデいひけるは王の婿となること汝らの目には易き事とみゆるや且われは貧しく賤しき者なりと
And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of Dauid. And Dauid sayd, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a poore man and of small reputation?
24 サウルの僕サウルにつげてダビデ是の如くかたれりといへり
And then Sauls seruats brought him word againe, saying, Such wordes spake Dauid.
25 サウルいひけるはなんぢらかくダビデにいへ王は聘禮を望まずただペリシテ人の陽皮一百をえて王の仇をむくいんことを望むと是はサウル、ダビデをペリシテ人の手に殞沒しめんとおもへるなり
And Saul sayd, This wise shall ye say to Dauid, The King desireth no dowrie, but an hundred foreskinnes of the Philistims, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make Dauid fall into the handes of the Philistims.
26 サウルの僕此言をダビデにつげしかばダビデは王の婿となることを善とせり斯て其時いまだ滿ざるあひだに
And when his seruantes tolde Dauid these wordes, it pleased Dauid well, to be the Kings sonne in law: and the dayes were not expired.
27 ダビデ起て其從者とともにゆきペリシテ人二百人をころして其陽皮をたづさへきたり之を悉く王にささげて王の婿とならんとすサウル乃はち其女ミカルをダビデに妻せたり
Afterwarde Dauid arose with his men, and went and slewe of the Philistims two hundreth men: and Dauid brought their foreskinnes, and they gaue them wholly to the King that hee might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife.
28 サウル見てヱホバのダビデとともにいますを知りぬまたサウルの女ミカルはダビデを愛せり
Then Saul sawe, and vnderstoode that the Lord was with Dauid, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him.
29 サウルさらにますますダビデを恐れサウル一生のあひだダビデの敵となれり
Then Saul was more and more afrayde of Dauid, and Saul became alway Dauids enemie.
30 爰にペリシテ人の諸伯攻きたりしがダビデかれらが攻めきたるごとにサウルの諸の臣僕よりは多の功をたてしかば其名はなはだ尊まる
And when the Princes of the Philistims went forth, at their going forth Dauid behaued himselfe more wisely then all the seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.
