< 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 kill 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
But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until 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 commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that 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 to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] toward 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 put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: Why 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 to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
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 showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he 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
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, 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 evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David 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 sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin 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
Saul also sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt 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 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
And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster, 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 [again] to see David, 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 had come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster.
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 to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to 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
So 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 to 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] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was 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 prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied 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 he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: 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 was 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 stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
