< 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 thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy 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 thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee 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 were mediums, 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 encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped 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 enquired 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 is a medium, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a medium 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 thee, divine to me as a medium, and bring up for me, whom I shall name to thee.
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, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that are mediums, and the wizards, out of the land: Why then layest thou 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 liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee 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 thee? 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 hast thou deceived me? for thou art 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 sawest thou? 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 is his form? And she said, An old man cometh 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 hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am grievously distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God hath departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest 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 dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD hath departed from thee, and hath become thy 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 hath done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD hath torn the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, 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 thou didst not obey the voice of the LORD, nor execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing to thee 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 thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy 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 immediately all along on the earth, and was exceedingly 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 greatly troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou 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 thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy 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 hearkened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon 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 hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it:
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 ate. Then they arose, and went away that night.
