< サムエル記Ⅰ 28 >
1 其頃ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰はんとて軍のために軍勢を集めたればアキシ、ダビデにいひけるは爾明かにこれをしれ爾と爾の從者我とともに出て軍にくははるべし
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, Know you assuredly, that you shall go out with me to battle, you and your men.
2 ダビデ、アキシにいひけるはされば爾僕のなさんところをしるべしとアキシ、ダビデにさらば我爾を永く我身をまもる者となさんといへり
And David said to Achish, Surely you shall know what your servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make you keeper of my head for ever.
3 サムエルすでに死たればイスラエルみなこれをかなしみてこれをそのまちラマにはうむれりまたサウルは口寄者と卜筮師を其地よりおひいだせり
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 ペリシテ人あつまりきたりてシユネムに陣をとりければサウル、イスラエルを悉くあつめてギルボアに陣をとれり
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 サウル、ペリシテ人の軍を見しときおそれて其心大にふるへたり
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 サウル、ヱホバに問ひけるにヱホバ對たまはず夢に因てもウリムによりても預言者によりてもこたへたまはず
And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 サウル僕等にいひけるは口寄の婦を求めよわれそのところにゆきてこれに尋ねんと僕等かれにいひけるは視よエンドルに口寄の婦あり
Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that has a familiar spirit at Endor.
8 サウル形を變へて他の衣服を著二人の人をともなひてゆき彼等夜の間に其婦の所にいたるサウルいひけるは請ふわがために口寄の術をおこなひてわが爾に言ふ人をわれに呼おこせ
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray you, divine to me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name to you.
9 婦かれにいひけるはなんぢサウルのなしたる事すなはち如何にかれが口寄者と卜筮師を國より斷さりたるを知る爾なんぞ我を死しめんとてわが生命を亡す謀計をなすや
And the woman said to him, Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: why then lay you a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 サウル、ヱホバを指てかれに誓ひいひけるはヱホバは生く此事のためになんぢ罪にあふことあらじ
And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD lives, there shall no punishment happen to you for this thing.
11 婦いひけるは誰を我なんぢに呼起すべきかサウルいふサムエルをよびおこせ
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to you? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 婦サムエルを見て大なる聲にてさけびいだせりしかして婦サウルにいひけるは爾なにゆゑに我を欺きしや爾はすなはちサウルなり
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
13 王かれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ爾なにを見しや婦サウルにいひけるは我神の地よりのぼるを見たり
And the king said to her, Be not afraid: for what saw you? And the woman said to Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 サウルかれにいひけるは其形容は如何彼いひけるは一人の老翁のぼる其人明衣を衣たりサウル其人のサムエルなるをしりて地にふして拝せり
And he said to her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15 サムエル、サウルにいひけるは爾なんぞ我をよびおこして我をわづらはすやサウルこたへけるは我いたく惱むペリシテ人我にむかひて軍をおこし又神我をはなれて預言者によりても又夢によりてもふたたび我にこたへたまはずこのゆゑに我なすべき事を爾にまなばんとて爾を呼り
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.
16 サムエルいひけるはヱホバ爾をはなれて爾の敵となりたまふに爾なんぞ我にとふや
Then said Samuel, Why then do you ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from you, and is become your enemy?
17 ヱホバわれをもて語りたまひしことをみづから行ひてヱホバ國を爾の手より割きはなち爾の隣人ダビデにあたへたまふ
And the LORD has done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD has rent the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David:
18 爾ヱホバの言にしたがはず其烈しき怒をアマレクにもらさざりしによりてヱホバ此事を今日爾になしたまふ
Because you obeyed not the voice of the LORD, nor executed his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore has the LORD done this thing to you this day.
19 ヱホバ、イスラエルをも爾とともにペリシテ人の手にわたしたまふべし明日爾と爾の子等我とともなるべしまたイスラエルの陣營をもヱホバ、ペリシテ人の手にわたしたまはんと
Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shall you and your sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 サウル直ちに地に伸びたふれサムエルの言のために痛くおそれ又其力を失へり其はかれ其一日一夜物食ざりければなり
Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 かの婦サウルにいたり其痛く慄くを見てこれにいひけるは視よ仕女爾の言をききわが生命をかけて爾が我にいひし言にしたがへり
And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
22 されば請ふ爾も仕女の言を聽て我をして一口のパンを爾のまへにそなへしめよしかして爾くらひて途に就く時に力を得よ
Now therefore, I pray you, listen you also to the voice of your handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way.
23 されどサウル否みて我は食はじといひしを其僕および婦強ければ其言をききいれて地より立あがり床のうへに坐せり
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat on the bed.
24 婦の家に肥たる犢ありしかば急ぎて之を殺しまた粉をとり摶て酵いれぬパンを炊き
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hurried, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25 サウルのまへと其僕等のまへに持ちきたりければ彼等くらひて立ちあがり其夜のうちにされり
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
