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] my 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 to him, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing, either great or small, but that he will show it to 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 certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should 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 to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even 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 to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the new-moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third [day] at evening.
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 shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked [leave] of me, that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for [there is] a 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 shall say thus, [It is] well; thy servant will have peace: but if he shall be very wroth, [then] be sure 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 thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst 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 knew certainly that evil is 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? or what [if] thy father shall 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 to 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 to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to-morrow any time, [or] the third [day], and behold, [if there be] good towards David, and I then send not to thee, and show it 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 and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will show it to 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 may not die:
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 withdraw 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, [saying], Let 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, because he loved 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
Then Jonathan said to David, To-morrow [is] the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because 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 [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was [in hand], 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 on the side [of it], 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 a lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: 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 to the young man, 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 to] the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me 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 had come, the king sat down to eat food.
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 a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and 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] not clean; 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, [which was] the second [day] of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, 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 [to be there]: and now if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to 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 to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own confusion, and to the confusion 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 bring him to me, for he shall surely 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 to him, Why shall he be slain? 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 a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David.
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 ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him 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 to 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 had 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, haste, 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 arms to his lad, and said to 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] towards the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself 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 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.
