サムエル記Ⅰ 20
1 ダビデ、ラマのナヨテより逃きたりてヨナタンにいひけるは我何をなし何のあしき事あり汝の父のまへに何の罪を得てか彼わが命を求むる
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan: 'What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?'
2 ヨナタンかれにいひけるは汝決て殺さるることあらじ視よわが父は事の大なるも小なるも我につげずしてなすことなしわが父なんぞこの事を我にかくさんやこの事しからず
And he said unto him: 'Far from it; thou shalt not die; behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.'
3 ダビデまた誓ひていひけるは汝の父必ずわが汝のまへに恩惠をうるを知る是をもてかれ思へらく恐らくはヨナタン悲むべければこの事をかれにしらしむべからずとしかれどもヱホバはいくまたなんぢの霊魂はいくわれは死をさること只一歩のみ
And David swore moreover, and said: 'Thy father knoweth well that I have found favour in thine eyes; and he saith: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.'
4 ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるはなんぢの心なにをねがふか我爾のために之をなさんと
Then said Jonathan unto David: 'What doth thy soul desire, that I should do it for thee?'
5 ダビデ、ヨナタンにいひけるは明日は月朔なれば我王とともに食につかざるべからず然ども我をゆるして去らしめ三日の晩まで野に隱るることをえさしめよ
And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
6 若汝の父まことに我をもとめなば其時言へダビデ切に其邑ベテレヘムにはせゆかんことを我に請り其は彼處に全家の歳祭あればなりと
If thy father miss me at all, then say: David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 彼もし善しといはば僕やすからんされど彼もし甚しく怒らば彼の害をくはへんと決しを知れ
If he say thus: It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.
8 汝ヱホバのまへに僕と契約をむすびたれば願くは僕に恩をほどこせ然ど若我に惡き事あらば汝自ら我をころせ何ぞ我を汝の父に引ゆくべけんや
Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?'
9 ヨナタンいひけるは斯る事かならず汝にあらざれ我わが父の害を汝にくはへんと決るをしらば必ず之を汝につげん
And Jonathan said: 'Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
10 ダビデ、ヨナタンにいひけるは若し汝の父荒々しく汝にこたふる時は誰か其事を我に告ぐべきや
Then said David to Jonathan: 'Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?'
11 ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは來れ我ら野にいでゆかんと倶に野にいでゆけり
And Jonathan said unto David: 'Come and let us go out into the field.' And they went out both of them into the field.
12 しかしてヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバよ明日か明後日の今ごろ我わが父を窺ひて事のダビデのために善きを見ながら人を汝に遣はして告しらさずばヱホバ、ヨナタンに斯なしまた重て斯くなしたまへ
And Jonathan said unto David: 'The LORD, the God of Israel — when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?
13 されど若しわが父汝に害をくはへんと欲せば我これを告げしらせて汝をにがし汝を安らかにさらしめん願くはヱホバわが父とともに坐せしごとく汝とともにいませ
The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and the LORD be with thee, as He hath been with my father.
14 汝只わが生るあひだヱホバの恩を我にしめして死ざらしむるのみならず
And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not;
15 ヱホバがダビデの敵を悉く地の表より絶ちさりたまふ時にもまた汝わが家を永く汝の恩にはなれしむるなかれ
but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.'
16 かくヨナタン、ダビデの家と契約をむすぶヱホバ之に關てダビデの敵を討したまへり
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David: 'The LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.'
17 しかしてヨナタンふたたびダビデに誓はしむかれを愛すればなり即ちおのれの生命を愛するごとく彼を愛せり
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 またヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは明日は月朔なるが汝の座空かるべければ汝求めらるべし
And Jonathan said unto him: 'To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, thy seat will be empty.
19 汝三日とどまりて速かに下り嘗てかの事の日に隱れたるところに至りてエゼルの石の傍に居るべし
And in the third day thou shalt hide thyself well, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself in the day of work, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 我的を射るごとくして其石の側に三本の矢をはなたん
And I will shoot three arrows to the side-ward, as though I shot at a mark.
21 しかしてゆきて矢をたづねよといひて僮子をつかはすべし我もし故に僮子に視よ矢は汝の此旁にあり其を取と曰ばなんぢきたるべしヱホバは生く汝安くして何もなかるべければなり
And, behold, I will send the lad: Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad: Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as the LORD liveth.
22 されど若し我少年に視よ矢は汝の彼旁にありといはば汝さるべしヱホバ汝をさらしめたまふなり
But if I say thus unto the boy: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for the LORD hath sent thee away.
23 汝と我とかたれることについては願はくはヱホバ恒に汝と我との間にいませと
And as touching the matter which I and thou have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between me and thee for ever.'
24 ダビデ即ち野にかくれぬ偖月朔になりければ王坐して食に就く
So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to the meal to eat.
25 即ち王は常のごとく壁によりて座を占むヨナタン立あがりアブネル、サウルの側に坐すダビデの座はなむし
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side; but David's place was empty.
26 されど其日にはサウル何をも曰ざりき其は何事か彼におこりしならん彼きよからず定て潔からずと思ひたればなり
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day; for he thought: 'Something hath befallen him, he is unclean; surely he is not clean.'
27 明日すなはち月の二日におよびてダビデの座なほ虚しサウル其子ヨナタンにいひけるは何ゆゑにヱサイの子は昨日も今日も食に來らざるや
And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son: 'Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to the meal, neither yesterday, nor to-day?'
28 ヨナタン、サウルにこたへけるはダビデ切にベテレヘムにゆかんことを我にこひて曰けるは
And Jonathan answered Saul: 'David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem;
29 ねがはくは我をゆるしてゆかしめよわが家邑にて祭をなすによりわが兄我にきたることを命ぜり故に我もし汝のまへにめぐみをえたるならばねがはくは我をゆるして去しめ兄弟をみることを得さしめよと是故にかれは王の席に來らざるなり
and he said: Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me; and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table.'
30 サウル、ヨナタンにむかひて怒りを發しかれにいひけるは汝は曲り且悖れる婦の子なり我あに汝がヱサイの子を簡みて汝の身をはづかしめまた汝の母の膚を辱しむることを知ざらんや
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him: 'Thou son of perverse rebellion, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
31 ヱサイの子の此世にながらふるあひだは汝と汝の位固くたつを得ず是故に今人をつかはして彼をわが許に引きたれ彼は死ぬべき者なり
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he deserveth to die.'
32 ヨナタン父サウルに對へていひけるは彼なにによりて殺さるべきか何をなしたるやと
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?'
33 ここにおいてサウル、ヨナタンを撃んとて投槍をさしあげたりヨナタンすなはち其父のダビデを殺さんと決しをしれり
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
34 かくてヨナタン烈しく怒りて席を立ち月の二日には食をなさざりき其は其父のダビデをはづかしめしによりてダビデのために憂へたればなり
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, and because his father had put him to shame.
35 翌朝ヨナタン一小童子を從がヘダビデと約せし時刻に野にいでゆき
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 童にいひけるは走りて我はなつ矢をたづねよと童子はしる時ヨナタン矢を彼のさきに發てり
And he said unto his lad: 'Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.' And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 童子がヨナタンの發ちたる矢のところにいたれる時ヨナタン童子のうしろに呼はりていふ矢は汝のさきにあるにあらずや
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said: 'Is not the arrow beyond thee?'
38 ヨナタンまた童子のうしろによばはりていひけるは速かにせよ急げ止まるなかれとヨナタンの童子矢をひろひあつめて其主人のもとにかへる
And Jonathan cried after the lad: 'Make speed, hasten, stay not.' And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 されど童子は何をも知ざりき只ヨナタンとダビデ其事をしりたるのみ
But the lad knew not any thing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 かくてヨナタン其武器を童子に授ていひけるは往けこれを邑に携へよと
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him: 'Go, carry them to the city.'
41 童子すなはち往けり時にダビデ石の傍より立ちあがり地にふして三たび拝せりしかしてふたり互に接吻してたがひに哭くダビデ殊にはなはだし
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは安じて往け我ら二人ともにヱホバの名に誓ひて願くはヱホバ恒に我と汝のあひだに坐し我が子孫と汝の子孫のあひだにいませといへりとダビデすなはちたちて去るヨナタン邑にいりぬ
And Jonathan said to David: 'Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying: The LORD shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever.' And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
