サムエル記Ⅰ 21

1 ダビデ、ノブにゆきて祭司アヒメレクにいたるアヒメレク懼れてダビデを迎へこれにいひけるは汝なんぞ獨にして誰も汝とともならざるや

Then came Dauid to Nob, to Ahimelech the Priest, and Ahimelech was astonied at the meeting of Dauid, and saide vnto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

2 ダビデ祭司アヒメレクにいふ王我に一の事を命じて我にいふ我が汝を遣はすところの事およびわが汝に命じたる所については何をも人にしらするなかれと我某處に我少者を出おけり

And Dauid saide to Ahimelech the Priest, The King hath commanded mee a certaine thing, and hath sayd vnto me, Let no man know whereabout I sende thee, and what I haue commanded thee: and I haue appointed my seruants to such and such places.

3 いま何か汝の手にあるや我手に五のパンか或はなににてもある所を與よ

Nowe therefore if thou hast ought vnder thine hande, giue me fiue cakes of bread, or what commeth to hand.

4 祭司ダビデに對ていひけるは常のパンはわが手になしされど若し少者婦女をだに愼みてありしならば聖きパンあるなりと

And the Priest answered Dauid, and saide, There is no common bread vnder mine hande, but here is halowed bread, if the yong men haue kept themselues, at least from women.

5 ダビデ祭司に對へていひけるは實にわがいでしより此三日は婦女われらにちかづかず且少者等の器は潔し又パンは常の物のごとし今日器に潔きパンあれば殊に然と

Dauid then answered the Priest, and sayde vnto him, Certainely women haue bene separarate from vs these two or three dayes since I came out: and the vessels of the yong men were holy, though the way were prophane, and how much more then shall euery one be sanctified this day in the vessell?

6 祭司かれに聖きパンを與たり其はかしこに供前のパンの外はパン无りければなり即ち其パンは下る日に熱きパンをささげんとて之をヱホバのまへより取されるなり

So the Priest gaue him halowed bread: for there was no bread there, saue the shewe bread that was taken from before the Lord, to put hote bread there, the day that it was taken away.

7 其日かしこにサウルの僕一人留められてヱホバのまへにあり其名をドエグといふエドミ人にしてサウルの牧者の長なり

(And there was the same day one of the seruants of Saul abiding before the Lord, named Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of Sauls heardmen)

8 ダビデまたアヒメレクにいふ此に汝の手に槍か劍あらぬか王の事急なるによりて我は刀も武器も携へざりしと

And Dauid said vnto Ahimelech, Is there not here vnder thine hand a speare or a sworde? for I haue neither brought my sworde nor mine harnesse with me, because the Kings businesse required haste.

9 祭司いひけるは汝がエラの谷にて殺したるペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍布に裏みてエポデの後にあり汝もし之をとらんとおもはば取れ此にはほかの劍なしダビデいひけるはそれにまさるものなし我にあたへよと

And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistim, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapt in a cloth behinde the Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other saue that here: And Dauid sayd, There is none to that, giue it me.

10 ダビデ其日サウルをおそれて立てガテの王アキシのところに逃げゆきぬ

And Dauid arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the King of Gath.

11 アキシの臣僕アキシに曰けるは此は其地の王ダビデにあらずや人々舞踏のうちにこの人のことを歌ひあひてサウルは千をうちころしダビデは萬をうちころすといひしにあらずや

And the seruants of Achish said vnto him, Is not this Dauid the King of the land? did they not sing vnto him in daunces, saying, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousande?

12 ダビデこの言を心に蔵め深くガテの王アキシをおそれ

And Dauid considered these wordes, and was sore afraide of Achish the King of Gath.

13 人々のまへに佯て其氣を變じ執はれて狂人のさまをなし門の扉に書き其涎沫を鬚にながれくだらしむ

And hee changed his behauiour before them, and fayned him selfe mad in their handes, and scrabled on the doores of the gate, and let his spettel fall downe vpon his beard.

14 アキシ僕に云けるは汝らの見るごとく此人は狂人なり何ぞかれを我にひき來るや

Then said Achish vnto his seruants, Lo, ye see the man is beside him selfe, wherefore haue ye brought him to me?

15 我なんぞ狂人を須ひんや汝ら此者を引きたりてわがまへに狂しめんとするや此者なんぞ吾が家にいるべけんや

Haue I neede of mad men, that ye haue brought this fellowe to play the mad man in my presence? shall he come into mine house?
