サムエル記Ⅰ 5
1 ペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をエベネゼルよりアシドドにもちきたる
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus.
2 即ちペリシテ人神の櫃をとりて之をダゴンの家にもちきたりダゴンの傍に置ぬ
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 アシドド人次の日夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴンの俯伏に地にたふれをるをみ乃ちダゴンをとりて再びこれを本の處におく
And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place.
4 また翌朝夙く興きヱホバの櫃のまへにダゴン俯伏に地にたふれをるを見るダゴンの頭と其兩手門閾のうへに斷ち切れをり只ダゴンの體のみのこれり
And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold:
5 是をもてダゴンの祭司およびダゴンの家にいるもの今日にいたるまでアシドドにあるダゴンの閾をふまず
And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day.
6 かくてヱホバの手おもくアシドド人にくははりヱホバこれをほろぼし腫物をもてアシドドおよび其四周の人をくるしめたまふ
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city.
7 アシドド人その斯るを見ていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃を我らのうちにとどむべからず其は其手いたくわれらおよび我らの神ダゴンにくははればなり
And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 是故に人をつかはしてペリシテ人の諸君主を集めていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をいかにすべきや彼らいひけるはイスラエルの神のはこはガテに移さんと遂にイスラエルの神のはこをうつす
And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethrites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about.
9 之をうつせるのち神の手其邑にくははりて滅亡るもの甚だおほし即ち老たると幼とをいはず邑の人をうちたまひて腫物人々におこれり
And while they were carrying it about, the band of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethrites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.
10 是において神のはこをエクロンにおくりたるに神の櫃エクロンにいたりしときエクロン人さけびていひけるは我等とわが民をころさんとてイスラエルの神のはこを我等にうつすと
Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
11 かくて人を遣してペリシテ人の諸君主をあつめていひけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をおくりて本のところにかへさん然らば我等とわが民をころすことなからん蓋は邑中に恐ろしき滅亡おこり神の手甚だおもく其處にくははればなり
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.
12 死なざる者は腫物にくるしめられ邑の號呼天に達せり
For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven.
