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
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks 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
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would 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
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favour in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, 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 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
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
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; 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 your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, 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 says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, 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 your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your 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
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
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 David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you 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
Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out 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
Jonathan said to David, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good towards David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?
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 you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has 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
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I 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 you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface 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 David’s house, saying, “The LORD will 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
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
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your 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
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and 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
I will shoot three arrows on its side, 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
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as the LORD lives.
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 this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for the LORD has sent you 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
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”
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. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself 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
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on 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 didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to 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
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
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
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
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
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favour in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come 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 burnt against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your 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 lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore 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
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has 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
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined 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 ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
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
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy 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
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy 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
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
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
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy 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 boy didn’t know anything. 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
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, 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
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
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
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
