サムエル記Ⅰ 26
1 ジフ人ギベアにきたりサウルの許にいたりてひけるはダビデは曠野のまへなるハキラの山にかくれをるにあらずやと
And the Ziphites come out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, David hides himself with us in the hill Echela, opposite Jessemon.
2 サウルすなはち起ちジフの野にダビデを尋ねんとイスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人をしたがへてジフの野にくだる
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [went] three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 サウルは曠野のまへなるハキラの山において路のほとりに陣を取るダビデは曠野に居てサウルのおのれをおふて曠野にきたるをさとりければ
And Saul encamped in the hill of Echela in front of Jessemon, by the way, and David lived in the wilderness: and David saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 ダビデ斥候を出してサウルの誠に來しをしれり
And David sent spies, and ascertained that Saul was come prepared out of Keila.
5 ここにおいてダビデたちてサウルの陣をとれるところにいたりサウルおよび其軍の長ネルの子アブネルの寝たるところを見たりすなはちサウルは車營の中に寝ぬ民其まはりに陣をはれり
And David arose secretly, and goes into the place where Saul was sleeping, and there [was] Abenner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul was sleeping in a chariot, and the people had encamped along round about him.
6 ダビデ答へてヘテ人アヒメレクおよびゼルヤの子にしてヨアブの兄弟なるアビシヤイにいひけるは誰か我とともにサウルの陣にくだらんかとアビシヤイいふ我汝とともに下らん
And David answered and spoke to Abimelech the Chettite, and to Abessa the son Saruia the brother of Joab, saying, Who will go in with me to Saul into the camp? And Abessa said, I will go in with you.
7 ダビデとアビシヤイすなはち夜にいりて民の所にいたるに視よサウルは車營のうちに寝臥し其槍地にさして枕邊にありアブネルと民は其まはりに寝たり
So David and Abessa go in amongst the people by night: and behold, Saul was fast asleep in the chariot, and his spear was stuck in the ground near his head, and Abenner and his people slept round about him.
8 アビシヤイ、ダビデにいひけるは神今日爾の敵を爾の手にわたしたまふ請ふいま我に槍をもてかれを一度地にさしとほさしめよ再びするにおよばじ
And Abessa said to David, The Lord has this day shut up your enemy into your hands, and now I will strike him to the earth with the spear to the ground once [for all], and I will not strike him again.
9 ダビデ、アビシヤイにいふ彼をころすなかれ誰かヱホバの膏そそぎし者に敵して其手をのべて罪なからんや
And David said to Abessa, Do not lay him low, for who shall lift up his hand against the anointed of the Lord, and be guiltless?
10 ダビデまたいひけるはヱホバは生くヱホバかれを撃たまはんあるひはその死ぬる日來らんあるひは戰ひにくだりて死うせん
And David said, [As] the Lord lives, if the Lord strike him not, or his day come and he die, or he go down to battle and be added [to his fathers, do not so].
11 わがヱホバのあぶらそそぎしものに敵して手をのぶることはきはめて善らずヱホバ禁じたまふされどいま請ふ爾そのまくらもとの槍と水の瓶をとれしかして我らさりゆかんと
The Lord forbid it me that I should lift up my hand against the anointed of the Lord: and now take, I pray you, the spear from his bolster, and the pitcher of water, and let us return home.
12 ダビデ、サウルの枕邊より槍と水の瓶を取りてかれらさりゆきしが誰も見ず誰もしらず誰も目を醒さざりき其はかれら皆眠り居たればなり即ちヱホバかれらをふかく睡らしめたまふ
So David took the spear, and the pitcher of water from his bolster, and they went home: and there was no one that saw, and no one that knew, and there was no one that awoke, all being asleep, for a stupor from the Lord had fallen upon them.
13 かくてダビデは彼旁にわたりて遥に山の頂にたてり彼と此とのへだたり大なり
So David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, and [there was] a good distance between them.
14 ダビデ民とネルの子アブネルによばはりいひけるはアブネルよ爾こたへざるかアブネルこたへていふ王をよぶ爾はたれなるや
And David called to the people, and spoke to Abenner, saying, Will you not answer, Abenner? and Abenner answered and said, Who are you that call?
15 ダビデ、アブネルにいひけるは爾は勇士ならずやイスラエルの中にて誰か爾に如ものあらんしかるに爾なんぞ爾の主なる王をまもらざるや民のひとり爾の主なる王を殺さんとていりぬ
And David said to Abenner, [Are] not you a man? and who [is] like you in Israel? Why then do you not guard your lord the king? for one out of the people went in to destroy your lord the king.
16 爾がなせる此事よからずヱホバは生くなんぢらの罪死にあたれり爾らヱホバの膏そそぎし爾らの主をまもらざればなり今王の槍と王の枕邊にありし水の瓶はいづくにあるかを見よ
And this thing [is] not good which you have done. [As] the Lord lives, you are worthy of death, you who guard your lord the king, the anointed of the Lord: and now behold, I pray you, the spear of the king, and the cruse of water: where are the articles that should be at his head?
17 サウル、ダビデの聲をしりていひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は爾の聲なるかダビデいひけるは王わが主よわが聲なり
And Saul recognised the voice of David, and said, [Is] this your voice, son David? and David said, I [am] your servant, [my] lord, O king.
18 ダビデまたいひけるはわが主なにゆゑに斯くその僕をおふや我なにをなせしや何の惡き事わが手にあるや
And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for in what have I sinned? and what unrighteousness has been found in me?
19 王わが主よ請ふいま僕の言を聽きたまへ若しヱホバ爾を我に敵せしめたまふならばねがはくはヱホバ禮物をうけたまへされど若し人ならばねがはくは其人々ヱホバのまへにのろはれよ其は彼等爾ゆきて他の神につかへよといひて今日我を追ひヱホバの產業に連なることをえざらしむるが故なり
And now let my lord the king hear the word of his servant. If God stirs you up against me, let your offering be acceptable: but if the sons of men, they [are] cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other Gods.
20 ねがはくは我血をしてヱホバのまへをはなれて地におちしむるなかれそは人の山にて鷓鴣をおふがごとくイスラエルの王一の蚤をたづねにいでたればなり
And now let not my blood fall to the ground before the Lord, for the king of Israel has come forth to seek your life, as the night hawk pursues [its prey] in the mountains.
21 サウルいひけるは我罪ををかせりわが子ダビデよ歸れわが生命今日爾の目に寶と見なされたる故により我々かさねて爾に害を加へざるべし嗚呼われ愚なることをなして甚だしく過てり
And Saul said, I have sinned: turn, son David, for I will not hurt you, because my life was precious in your eyes; and today I have been foolish and have erred exceedingly.
22 ダビデこたへていひけるは王よ槍を視よ請ひとりの少者をしてわたりてこれを取しめよ
And David answered and said, Behold, the spear of the king: let one of the servants come over and take it.
23 ねがはくはヱホバおのおのに其義と眞實とにしたがひて報いたまへ共はヱホバ今日爾をわが手にわたしたまひしに我ヱホバの受膏者に敵してわが手をのぶることをせざればなり
And the Lord shall recompense each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord delivered you this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand against the Lord's anointed.
24 爾の生命を今日わがおもんぜしごとくねがはくはヱホバわが生命をおもんじて諸の艱難のうちより我をすくひいだしたまへ
And, behold, as your life has been precious this very day in my eyes, so let my life be precious before the Lord, and may he protect me, and deliver me out of all affliction.
25 サウル、ダビデにいひけるはわが子ダビデよ爾はほむべきかな爾大なる事を爲さん亦かならず勝をえんとしかしてダビデは其道にさりサウルはおのれの所にかへれり
And Saul said to David, Blessed [be] you, [my] son; and you shall surely do valiantly, and surely prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
