サムエル記Ⅰ 2
1 ハンナ祷りて言けるは我心はヱホバによりて喜び我角はヱホバによりて高し我口はわが敵の上にはりひらく是は我汝の救拯によりて樂むが故なり
And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
2 ヱホバのごとく聖き者はあらず其は汝の外に有る者なければなり又われらの神のごとき磐はあることなし
There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
3 汝等重ねて甚く誇りて語るなかれ汝等の口より漫言を出すなかれヱホバは全知の神にして行爲を裁度りたまふなり
Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
4 勇者の弓は折れ倒るる者は勢力を帶ぶ
The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
5 飽足る者は食のために身を傭はせ饑たる者は憩へり石女は七人を生み多くの子を有る者は衰ふるにいたる
They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
The Lord killeth and maketh aliue: bringeth downe to the graue and raiseth vp. (Sheol h7585)
7 ヱホバは貧からしめ又富しめたまひ卑くしまた高くしたまふ
The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
8 荏弱者を塵の中より擧げ窮乏者を埃の中より升せて王公の中に坐せしめ榮光の位をつがしめ給ふ地の柱はヱホバの所屬なりヱホバ其上に世界を置きたまへり
He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
9 ヱホバ其聖徒の足を守りたまはん惡き者は黑暗にありて默すべし其は人力をもて勝つべからざればなり
Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
10 ヱホバと爭ふ者は破碎かれんヱホバ天より雷を彼等の上にくだしヱホバは地の極を審き其王に力を與へ其膏そそぎし者の角を高くし給はん
The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
11 エルカナ、ラマに往て其家にいたりしが稚子は祭司エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
12 さてエリの子は邪なる者にしてヱホバをしらざりき
Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
13 祭司の民に於る習慣は斯のごとし人祭物をささぐる時肉を烹るあひだに祭司の僕三の歯ある肉叉を手にとりて來り
For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
14 之を釜あるひは鍋あるひは鼎又は炮烙に突きいれ肉叉の引きあぐるところの肉は祭司みなこれを己にとる是くシロに於て凡てそこに來るイスラエル人になせり
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
15 脂をやく前にも亦祭司のしもべ來り祭物をささぐる人にいふ祭司のために燒くべき肉をあたへよ祭司は汝より烹たる肉を受けず生腥の肉をこのむと
Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
16 もし其人これにむかひ直ちに脂をやくべければ後心のこのむままに取れといはば僕之にいふ否今あたへよ然らずば我強て取んと
And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
17 故に其壯者の罪ヱホバのまへに甚だ大なりそは人々ヱホバに祭物をささぐることをいとひたればなり
Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 サムエルなほ幼して布のエポデを著てヱホバのまへにつかふ
Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
19 また其母これがために小き明衣をつくり歳毎にその夫とともに年の祭物をささげにのぼる時これをもちきたる
And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
20 エリ、エルカナとその妻を祝していひけるは汝がヱホバにささげたる者のためにヱホバ此婦よりして子を汝にあたへたまはんことをねがふと斯てかれら其郷にかへる
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
21 しかしてヱホバ、ハンナをかへりみたまひければハンナ孕みて三人の男子と二人の女子をうめり童子サムエルはヱホバのまへにありて生育てり
And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
22 ここにエリ甚だ老て其子等がイスラエルの人々になせし諸の事を聞きまた其集會の幕屋の門にいづる婦人たちと寝たるを聞て
So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
23 これにいひけるは何ぞ斯る事をなすや我このすべての民より汝らのあしき行をきく
And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
24 わが子よ然すべからず我きくところの風聞よからず爾らヱホバの民をしてあやまたしむ
Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
25 人もし人にむかひて罪ををかさば神之をさばかんされど人もしヱホバに向ひて罪ををかさば誰かこれがためにとりなしをなさんやとしかれども其子父のことばを聽ざりきそはヱホバかれらを殺さんと思ひたまへばなり
If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 童子サムエル生長ゆきてヱホバと人とに愛せらる
(Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
27 茲に神の人エリの許に來りこれにいひけるはヱホバ斯くいひたまふ爾の父祖の家エジプトにおいてパロの家にありしとき我明かに之にあらはれしにあらずや
And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
28 我これをイスラエルの諸の支派のうちより選みてわが祭司となしわが壇の上に祭物をささげ香をたかしめ我前にエポデを衣しめまたイスラエルの人の火祭を悉く汝の父の家にあたへたり
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
29 なんぞわが命ぜし犠牲と禮物を汝の家にてふみつくるや何ぞ我よりもなんぢの子をたふとみわが民イスラエルの諸の祭物の最も嘉きところをもて己を肥すや
Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 是ゆゑにイスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまはく我誠に曾ていへり汝の家およびなんぢの父祖の家永くわがまへにあゆまんと然ども今ヱホバいひたまふ決めてしからず我をたふとむ者は我もこれをたふとむ我を賤しむる者はかろんぜらるべし
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
31 視よ時いたらん我汝の腕と汝の父祖の家の腕を絶ち汝の家に老たるもの无らしめん
Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
32 我大にイスラエルを善すべけれど汝の家内には災見えん汝の家にはこののち永く老るものなかるべし
And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
33 またわが壇より絶ざる汝の族の者は汝の目をそこなひ汝の心をいたましめん又汝の家にうまれいづるものは壯年にして死なん
Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
34 汝のふたりの子ホフニとピネスの遇ところの事を其徴とせよ即ち二人ともに同じ日に死なん
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
35 我はわがために忠信なる祭司をおこさん其人わが心とわが意にしたがひておこなはんわれその家をかたうせんかれわが膏そそぎし者のまへに恒にあゆむべし
And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
36 しかして汝の家にのこれる者は皆きたりてこれに屈み一厘の金と一片のパンを乞ひ且いはんねがはくは我を祭司の職の一に任じて些少のパンにても食ふことをえせしめよと
And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
