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
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
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 Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
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 beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I 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 Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
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 put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David 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
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.'
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
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
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
And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before 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 an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing 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 sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that 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
And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
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 David down through the 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
And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered 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 David, she said: 'He is sick.'
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 to see David, saying: 'Bring him up 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 came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
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 unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I 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
Now David 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
And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David 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 David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
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 told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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 also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are 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 to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he 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 also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
