サムエル記Ⅰ 3
1 童子サムエル、エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ當時はヱホバの言まれにして默示あること恒ならざりき
And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.
2 偖エリ目漸くくもりて見ることをえず此時其室に寝たり
And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),
3 神の燈なほきえずサムエル神の櫃あるヱホバの宮に寝ね
and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,
4 時にヱホバ、サムエルをよびたまふ彼我此にありといひて
that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.
5 エリの許に趨ゆきいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリいひけるは我よばず反りて臥よと乃ちゆきていぬ
And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
6 ヱホバまたかさねてサムエルよとよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリのもとにいたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありエリこたへけるは我よばずわが子よ反りていねよ
And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
7 サムエルいまだヱホバをしらずまたヱホバのことばいまだかれにあらはれず
Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.
8 ヱホバ、三たびめに又サムエルをよびたまへばサムエルおきてエリの許にたりいひけるは汝われをよぶ我ここにありとエリ乃ちヱホバの童子をよびたまひしをさとる
And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.
9 故にエリ、サムエルにいひけるはゆきて寝よ彼若し汝をよばば僕聽くヱホバ語りたまへといへとサムエルゆきて其室にいねしに
And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 ヱホバ來りて立ちまへの如くサムエル、サムエルとよびたまへばサムエル僕きく語りたまへといふ
And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.
11 ヱホバ、サムエルにいひ賜けるは視よ我イスラエルのうちに一の事をなさんこれをきくものは皆其耳ふたつながら鳴ん
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
12 其日にはわれ嘗てエリの家について言しことを始より終までことごとくエリになすべし
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.
13 われかつてエリに其惡事のために永くその家をさばかんとしめせりそは其子の詛ふべきことをなすをしりて之をとどめざればなり
For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
14 是故に我エリのいへに誓ひてエリの家の惡は犠牲あるひは禮物をもて永くあがなふ能はずといへり
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.
15 サムエル朝までいねてヱホバの家の戸を開きしが其異象をエリにしめすことをおそる
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.
16 エリ、サムエルをよびていひけるはわが子サムエルよ答へけるはわれここにあり
And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
17 エリいひけるは何事を汝につげたまひしや請ふ我にかくすなかれ汝もし其汝に告げたまひしところを一にてもかくすときは神汝にかくなし又かさねてかくなしたまヘ
And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.
18 サムエル其事をことごとくしめして彼に隱すことなかりきエリいひけるは是はヱホバなり其よしと見たまふことをなしたまへと
And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.
19 サムエルそだちぬヱホバこれとともにいましてそのことばをして一も地におちざらしめたまふ
And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 ダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルの人みなサムエルがヱホバの預言者とさだまれるをしれり
And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.
21 ヱホバふたたびシロにてあらはれたまふヱホバ、シロにおいてヱホバの言によりてサムエルにおのれをしめしたまふなりサムエルの言あまねくイスラエル人におよぶ
And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
