サムエル記Ⅰ 30

1 ダビデと其從者第三日にチクラグにいたるにアマレク人すでに南の地とチクラグを侵したりかれらチクラグを撃ち火をもて之を燬き

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

2 其中に居りし婦女を擄にし老たるをも若きをも一人も殺さずして之をひきて其途におもむけり

And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

3 ダビデと其從者邑にいたりて視に邑は火に燬けその妻と男子女子は擄にせられたり

So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

4 ダビデおよびこれとともにある民聲をあげて哭き終に哭く力もなきにいたれり

Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5 ダビデのふたりの妻すなはちヱズレル人アヒノアムとカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルも虜にせられたり

And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 時にダビデ大に心を苦めたり其は民おのおの其男子女子のために氣をいらだてダビデを石にて撃んといひたればなりされどダビデ其神ヱホバによりておのれをはげませり

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in Yhwh his God.

7 ダビデ、アヒメレクの子祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは請ふエポデを我にもちきたれとアビヤタル、エポデをダビデにもちきたる

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

8 ダビデ、ヱホバに問ていひけるは我此軍の後を追ふべきや我これに追つくことをえんかとヱホバかれにこたへたまはく追ふべし爾かならず追つきてたしかに取もどすことをえん

And David enquired at Yhwh, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

9 ダビデおよびこれとともなる六百人の者ゆきてベソル川にいたれり後にのこれる者はここにとどまる

So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

10 即ちダビデ四百人をひきゐて追ゆきしが憊れてベソル川をわたることあたはざる者二百人はとどまれり

But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

11 衆人野にて一人のエジプト人を見これをダビデにひききたりてこれに食物をあたへければ食へりまたこれに水をのませたり

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

12 すなはち一段の乾無花果と二球の乾葡萄をこれにあたへたり彼くらひて其氣ふたたび爽かになれりかれは三日三夜物をもくはず水をものまざりしなり

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

13 ダビデかれにいひけるは爾は誰の人なる爾はいづくの者なるやかれいひけるは我はエジプトの少者にて一人のアマレク人の僕なり三日まへに我疾にかかりしゆゑにわが主人我をすてたり

And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

14 我らケレテ人の南とユダの地とカレブの南ををかしまた火をもてチクラグをやけり

We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

15 ダビデかれにいひけるは爾我を此軍にみちびきくだるやかれいひけるは爾我をころさずまた我をわが主人の手にわたさざるを神をさして我に誓へ我爾を此軍にみちびきくだらん

And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

16 かれダビデをみちびきくだりしが視よ彼等はペリシテ人の地とユダの地より奪ひたる諸の大なる掠取物のためによろこびて飮食し踊りつつ地にあまねく散ひろがりて居る

And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

17 ダビデ暮あひより次日の晩にいたるまでかれらを撃しかば駱駝にのりて逃げたる四百人の少者の外は一人ものがれたるもの无りき

And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

18 ダビデはすべてアマレク人の奪ひたる物を取りもどせり其二人の妻もダビデとりもどせり

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

19 小きも大なるも男子も女子も掠取物もすべてアマレク人の奪さりし物は一も失はずダビデことごとく取かへせり

And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

20 ダビデまた凡の羊と牛をとれり人々この家畜をそのまへに驅きたり是はダビデの掠取物なりといへり

And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.

21 かくてダビデかの憊れてダビデにしたがひ得ずしてベソル川のほとりに止まりし二百人の者のところにいたるに彼らダビデをいでむかへまたダビデとともなる民をいでむかふダビデかの民にちかづきてその安否をたづぬ

And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

22 ダビデとともにゆきし人々の中の惡く邪なる者みなこたへていひけるは彼等は我らとともにゆかざりければ我らこれに取りもどしたる掠取物をわけあたふべからず唯おのおのにその妻子をあたへてこれをみちびきさらしめん

Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

23 ダビデ言けるはわが兄弟よヱホバ我らをまもり我らにせめきたりし軍を我らの手にわたしたまひたれば爾らヱホバのわれらにたまひし物をしかするは宜からず

Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Yhwh hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

24 誰か爾らにかかることをゆるさんや戰ひにくだりし者の取る分のごとく輜重のかたはらに止まりし者の取る分もまた然あるべし共にひとしく取るべし

For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

25 この日よりのちダビデこれをイスラエルの法となし例となせり其事今日にいたる

And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

26 ダビデ、チクラグにいたりて其掠取物をユダの長老なる其朋友にわかちおくりて曰しめけるは是はヱホバの敵よりとりて爾らにおくる饋物なり

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yhwh;

27 ベテルにをるもの南のラモテにをるものヤツテルにをる者

To them which were in Beth–el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,

28 アロエルにをる者シフモテにをるものエシテモにをるもの

And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

29 ラカルにをるものヱラメル人の邑にをるものケニ人の邑にをるもの

And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,

30 ホルマにをるものコラシヤンにをるものアタクにをるもの

And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor–ashan, and to them which were in Athach,

31 ヘブロンにをるものおよびすべてダビデが其從者とともに毎にゆきし所にこれをわかちおくれり

And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
