< 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
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
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
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
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
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
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
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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 struck the Philistine, and Jehovah worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill 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
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As Jehovah lives, 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
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
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
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed 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
A harmful spirit from Jehovah was on 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
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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
Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
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 Mikal let David down through the window. He went, 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
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
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
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
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill 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
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
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
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
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 lived in the dwellings.
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 to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at 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 capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they 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
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. 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
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at 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
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings 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 stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
