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 men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness.
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, having with him three thousand chosen men 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 Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come 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
He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither.
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 came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude 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
David spoke to Achimelech the Hethite, and Abisai the son of Sarvia the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee.
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 Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping 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 Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time.
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 Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and shall 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 liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle and perish:
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 be merciful unto me, that I extend not my hand upon the Lord’s anointed. But now take the spear, which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.
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 cup of water which was at Saul’s head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was 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
And when David was gone over to the other side. and stood on the top of the hill afar off, and a good space was 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
David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king?
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 Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord.
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
This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord’s anointed. And now where is the king’s spear, and the cup of water, which was 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 knew David’s voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the 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: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand?
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
Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange 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 be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted 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, return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things.
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 answering, said: Behold the king’s spear: let one of the king’s servants come over and fetch 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 will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth 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 as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress.
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
Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
