< サムエル記Ⅰ 19 >

1 サウル其子ヨナタンおよび諸の臣僕にダビデをころさんとすることを語れり
Then Saul spake to Ionathan his sonne, and to all his seruantes, that they shoulde kill Dauid: but Ionathan Sauls sonne had a great fauour to Dauid.
2 されどサウルの子ヨナタン深くダビデを愛せしかばヨナタン、ダビデにつげていひけるはわが父サウル汝をころさんことを求むこのゆゑに今ねがはくは汝翌朝謹恪で潜みをりて身を隱せ
And Ionathan told Dauid, saying, Saul my father goeth about to slay thee: nowe therefore, I pray thee, take heede vnto thy selfe vnto the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thy selfe.
3 我いでゆきて汝がをる野にてわが父の傍にたちわが父とともに汝の事を談はんしかして我其事の如何なるを見て汝に告ぐべし
And I will go out, and stand by my father in the fielde where thou art, and will commune with my father of thee, and I will see what he sayth, and will tell thee.
4 ヨナタン其父サウルに向ひダビデを褒揚ていひけるは願くは王其僕ダビデにむかひて罪ををかすなかれ彼は汝に罪ををかさずまた彼が汝になす行爲ははなはだ善し
And Ionathan spake good of Dauid vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Let not the King sinne against his seruat, against Dauid: for he hath not sinned against thee, but his works haue bene to thee very good.
5 またかれは生命をかけてかのペリシテ人をころしたりしかしてヱホバ、イスラエルの人々のためにおほいなる救をほどこしたまふ汝見てよろこべりしかるに何ぞゆゑなくしてダビデをころし無辜者の血をながして罪ををかさんとするや
For he did put his life in daunger, and slew the Philistim, and the Lord wrought a great saluation for al Israel: thou sawest it, and thou reioycedst: wherefore then wilt thou sinne against innocent blood, and slay Dauid without a cause?
6 サウル、ヨナタンの言を聽いれサウル誓ひけるはヱホバはいくわれかならずかれをころさじ
Then Saul hearkened vnto the voyce of Ionathan, and Saul sware, As the Lord liueth, he shall not dye.
7 ヨナタン、ダビデをよびてヨナタン其事をみなダビデにつげ遂にダビデをサウルの許につれきたりければダビデさきのごとくサウルの前にをる
So Ionathan called Dauid, and Ionathan shewed him all those words, and Ionathan brought Dauid to Saul, and hee was in his presence as in times past.
8 爰に再び戰爭おこりぬダビデすなはちいでてペリシテ人とたたかひ大にかれらを殺せしかばかれら其まへを逃げされり
Againe the warre began, and Dauid went out and fought with the Philistims, and slew them with a great slaughter, and they fled from him.
9 サウル手に投槍を執て室に坐する時ヱホバより出たる惡鬼これにのりうつれり其時ダビデ乃ち手をもて琴を弾く
And the euill spirit of the Lord was vpon Saul, as hee sate in his house hauing his speare in his hand, and Dauid played with his hand.
10 サウル投槍をもてダビデを壁に刺とほさんとしたりしがダビデ、サウルのまへを避ければ投槍を壁に衝たてたりダビデ其夜逃さりぬ
And Saul intended to smite Dauid to the wall with the speare: but hee turned aside out of Sauls presence, and he smote the speare against the wall: but Dauid fled, and escaped the same night.
11 サウル使者をダビデの家につかはしてかれを守らしめ朝におよびてかれをころさしめんとすダビデの妻ミカル、ダビデにつげていひけるは若し今夜爾の命を援ずば明朝汝は殺されんと
Saul also sent messengers vnto Dauids house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal Dauids wife told it him, saying, If thou saue not thy selfe this night, to morowe thou shalt be slayne.
12 ミカル即ち牖よりダビデを縋おろしければ往て逃されり
So Michal let Dauid downe through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 斯てミカル像をとりて其牀に置き山羊の毛の編物を其頭におき衣服をもて之をおほへり
Then Michal tooke an image, and layde it in the bed, and put a pillow stuffed with goates heare vnder the head of it, and couered it with a cloth.
14 サウル、ダビデを執ふる使者をつかはしければミカルいふかれは疾ありと
And when Saul sent messengers to take Dauid, she sayd, He is sicke.
15 サウル使者をつかはしダビデを見させんとていひけるはかれを牀のまま我にたづさきたれ我これをころさん
And Saul sent the messengers againe to see Dauid, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 使者いりて見たるに牀には像ありて其頭に山羊の毛の編物ありき
And when the messengers were come in, behold, an image was in the bed, with a pillow of goates heare vnder the head of it.
17 サウル、ミカルにいひけるはなんぞかく我をあざむきてわが敵を逃しやりしやミカル、サウルにこたへけるは彼我にいへり我をはなちてさらしめよ然らずば我汝をころさんと
And Saul said vnto Michal, Why hast thou mocked me so, and sent away mine enemie, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said vnto me, Let me go, or els I will kill thee.
18 ダビデにげさりてラマにゆきサムエルの許にいたりてサウルがおのれになせしことをことごとくつげたりしかしてダビデとサムエルはゆきてナヨテにすめり
So Dauid fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 サウルに告る者ありていふ視よダビデはラマのナヨテにをると
But one tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, Dauid is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 サウル乃ちダビデを執ふる使者をつかはせしが彼等預言者の一群の預言しをりてサムエルが其中の長となりて立てるを見るにおよび神の霊サウルの使者にのぞみて彼等もまた預言せり
And Saul sent messengers to take Dauid: and when they sawe a company of Prophets prophecying, and Samuel standing as appoynted ouer them, the Spirit of God fell vpon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophecied.
21 人々これを告ければサウル他の使者を遣しけるにかれらも亦預言せしかばサウルまた三度使者を遣はしけるが彼等もまた預言せり
And when it was tolde Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophecied likewise: againe Saul sent the third messengers, and they prophecied also.
22 是においてサウルもまたラマにゆきけるがセクの大井にいたれる時問ていひけるはサムエルとダビデは何處にをるや答ていふラマのナヨテにをる
Then went he himselfe to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu, and he asked, and sayd, Where are Samuel and Dauid? and one sayd, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 サウルかしこにゆきてラマのナヨテに至りけるに神の霊また彼にのぞみて彼ラマのナヨテにいたるまで歩きつつ預言せり
And he went thither, euen to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God came vpon him also, and he went prophecying vntill hee came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 彼もまた其衣服をぬぎすて同くサムエルのまへに預言し其一日一夜裸體にて仆臥たり是故に人々サウルもまた預言者のうちにあるかといふ
And he stript off his clothes, and he prophesied also before Samuel, and fell downe naked all that day and all that night: therefore they say, Is Saul also among the Prophets?
