サムエル記Ⅰ 7
1 キリアテヤリムの人來りヱホバのはこを携へのぼりこれを山のうへなるアビナダブの家にもちきたり其子エレアザルを聖てヱホバの櫃をまもらしむ
And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and bring it in unto the house of Abinadab, in the height, and Eleazar his son they have sanctified to keep the ark of Jehovah.
2 其櫃キリアテヤリムにとどまること久しくして二十年をへたりイスラエルの全家ヱホバをしたひて歎けり
And it cometh to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied — yea, they are twenty years — and wail do all the house of Israel after Jehovah.
3 時にサムエル、イスラエルの全家に告ていひけるは汝らもし一心を以てヱホバにかへり異る神とアシタロテを汝らの中より棄て汝らの心をヱホバに定め之にのみ事へなばヱホバ汝らをペリシテ人の手より救ひださん
And Samuel speaketh unto all the house of Israel, saying, 'If with all your heart ye are turning back unto Jehovah — turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart unto Jehovah, and serve Him only, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'
4 ここにおいてイスラエルの人々バアルとアシタロテをすててヱホバにのみ事ふ
And the sons of Israel turn aside the Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serve Jehovah alone;
5 サムエルいひけるはイスラエル人をことごとくミズパにあつめよ我汝らのためにヱホバにいのらん
and Samuel saith, 'Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray for you unto Jehovah.'
6 かれらミズパに集り水を汲て之をヱホバのまへに注ぎ其日斷食して彼處にいひけるは我等ヱホバに罪ををかしたりとサムエル、ミズパに於てイスラエルの人を鞫く
And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before Jehovah, and fast on that day, and say there, 'We have sinned against Jehovah;' and Samuel judgeth the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
7 ペリシテ人イスラエルの人々のミズパに集れるを聞しかばペリシテ人の諸君主イスラエルにせめのぼれりイスラエル人これを聞てペリシテ人をおそれたり
And the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence of the Philistines.
8 イスラエルの人々サムエルに云けるは我らのために我らの神ヱホバに祈ることをやむるなかれ然らばヱホバ我らをペリシテ人の手よりすくひいださん
And the sons of Israel say unto Samuel, 'Keep not silent for us from crying unto Jehovah our God, and He doth save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'
9 サムエル哺乳羊をとり燔祭となしてこれをまつたくヱホバにささぐまたサムエル、イスラエルのためにヱホバにいのりければヱホバこれにこたへたまふ
And Samuel taketh a fat lamb, and causeth it to go up — a burnt-offering whole to Jehovah; and Samuel crieth unto Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answereth him;
10 サムエル燔祭をささげ居し時ペリシテ人イスラエル人と戰はんとて近づきぬ是日ヱホバ大なる雷をくだしペリシテ人をうちて之を亂し賜ければペリシテ人イスラエル人のまへに敗れたり
and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up — and the Philistines have drawn nigh to battle against Israel — and Jehovah doth thunder with a great noise, on that day, upon the Philistines, and troubleth them, and they are smitten before Israel.
11 イスラエル人ミズパをいでてペリシテ人をおひ之をうちてベテカルの下にいたる
And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and smite them unto the place of Beth-Car.
12 サムエル一の石をとりてミズパとセンの間におきヱホバ是まで我らを助けたまへりといひて其名をエベネゼル(助けの石)と呼ぶ
And Samuel taketh a stone, and setteth [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calleth its name Eben-Ezer, saying, 'Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us.'
13 ペリシテ人攻伏られて再びイスラエルの境にいらずサムエルの一生のあひだヱホバの手ペリシテ人をふせげり
And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added any more to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of Jehovah is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 ペリシテ人のイスラエルより取たる邑々はエクロンよりガテまでイスラエルにかへりぬまた其周圍の地はイスラエル人これをペリシテ人の手よりとりかへせりまたイスラエル人とアモリ人と好をむすべり
And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel — from Ekron even unto Gath — and their border hath Israel delivered out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
15 サムエル一生のあひだイスラエルをさばき
And Samuel judgeth Israel all the days of his life,
16 歳々ベテルとギルガルおよびミズパをめぐりて其處々にてイスラエル人をさばき
and he hath gone from year to year, and gone round Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;
17 またラマにかへれり此處に其家あり此にてイスラエルをさばき又此にてヱホバに壇をきづけり
and his returning [is] to Ramath, for there [is] his house, and there he hath judged Israel, and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
