サムエル記Ⅰ 29

1 爰にペリシテ人其軍をことごとくアペクにあつむイスラエルはヱズレルにある泉水の傍に陣をとる

Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, and the Israelites encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel.

2 ペリシテ人の君等あるひは百人或は千人をひきゐて進みダビデと其從者はアキシとともに其後にすすむ

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.

3 ペリシテ人の諸伯いひけるは是等のヘブル人は何なるやアキシ、ペリシテ人の諸伯にいひけるは此はイスラエルの王サウルの僕ダビデにあらずやかれ此日ごろ此年ごろ我とともにをりしがその逃げおちし日より今日にいたるまで我かれの身に咎あるを見ずと

Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away to me to this day?

4 ペリシテ人の諸伯これを怒る即ちペリシテ人の諸伯彼にいひけるは此人をかへらしめて爾が之をおきし其所にふたたびいたらしめよ彼は我らとともに戰ひにくだるべからず然ば彼戰爭においてわれらの敵とならざるべしかれ其主と和がんとせば何をもてすべきやこの人々の首級をもてすべきにあらずや

But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him. And the rulers of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what does this man reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

5 是はかつて人々が舞踏の中にて歌ひあひ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たるダビデにあらずや

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?

6 アキシ、ダビデをよびてこれにいひけるはヱホバは生くまことになんぢは正し爾の我とともに陣營に出入するはわが目には善と見ゆ其は爾が我に來りし日より今日にいたるまで我爾の身に惡き事あるを見ざればなり然ど諸伯の目には爾よからず

Then Achish called David, and said to him, As Jehovah lives, thou have been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the army is good in my sight, for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day. Nevertheless the lords do not favor thee.

7 されば今かへりて安かにゆきペリシテ人の諸伯の目に惡く見ゆることをなすなかれ

Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou not displease the lords of the Philistines.

8 ダビデ、アキシにいひけるは我何をなせしやわが爾のまへに出し日より今日までに爾何を僕の身に見たればか我ゆきてわが主なるわうの敵とたたかふことをえざると

And David said to Achish, But what have I done? And what have thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

9 アキシこたへてダビデにいひけるは我爾のわが目には神の使のごとく善きをしるされどペリシテ人の諸伯かれは我らとともに戰ひにのぼるべからずといへり

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou are good in my sight, as an agent of God, notwithstanding the rulers of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 されば爾および爾の主の僕の爾とともにきたれる者明朝夙く起よ爾ら朝はやくおきて夜のあくるに及ばばさるべし

Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

11 是をもてダビデと其從者ペリシテ人の地にかへらんと朝はやく起てされりしかしてペリシテ人はヱズレルにのぼれり

So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
