サムエル記Ⅰ 9
1 茲にベニヤミンの人にてキシと名くる力の大なるものありキシはアビエルの子アビニルはゼロンの子ゼロンはベコラテの子ベコラテはアビヤの子アビヤはベニヤミンの子なり
And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, mighty of valour,
2 キシにサウルと名くる子あり壯にして美はしイスラエルの子孫の中に彼より美はしき者たく肩より上民のいづれの人よりも高し
and he hath a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and goodly, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel goodlier than he — from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
3 サウルの父キシの驢馬失ぬキシ其子サウルにいひけるは一人の僕をともなひ起ちてゆき驢馬を尋ねよ
And the asses of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish saith unto Saul his son, 'Take, I pray thee, with thee, one of the young men, and rise, go, seek the asses.'
4 サウル、ニフライムの山地を通り過ぎシヤリシヤの地を通りすぐれども見あたらずシヤリムの地を通りすぐれども居らずベニヤミンの地をとほりすぐれども見あたらず
And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found.
5 かれらツフの地にいたれる時サウル其ともなへる僕にいひけるはいざ還らん恐らくはわが父驢馬の事を措て我等の事を思ひ煩はん
They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said to his young man who [is] with him, 'Come, and we turn back, lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been sorrowful for us.'
6 僕これにいひけるは此邑に神の人あり尊き人にして其言ふところは皆必らず成る我らかしこにいたらんかれ我らがゆくべき路をわれらにしめすことあらん
And he saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to us our way on which we have gone.'
7 サウル僕にいひけるは我らもしゆかば何を其人におくらんか器のパンは旣に罄て神の人におくるべき禮物あらず何かあるや
And Saul saith to his young man, 'And lo, we go, and what do we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of God — what [is] with us?'
8 僕またサウルにこたへていひけるは視よわが手に銀一シケルの四分の一あり我これを神の人にあたへて我らに路をしめさしめんと
And the young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, 'Lo, there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us our way.'
9 昔しイスラエルにおいては人神にとはんとてゆく時はいざ先見者にゆかんといへり其は今の預言者は昔しは先見者とよばれたればなり
Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God, 'Come and we go unto the seer,' for the 'prophet' of to-day is called formerly 'the seer.'
10 サウル僕にいひけるは善くいへりいざゆかんとて神の人のをる邑におもむけり
And Saul saith to his young man, 'Thy word [is] good; come, we go;' and they go unto the city where the man of God [is].
11 かれら邑にいる坂をのぼれる時童女數人の水くみにいづるにあひ之にいひけるは先見者は此にをるや
They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, 'Is the seer in this [place]?'
12 答ていひけるはをる視よ汝のまへにをる急ぎゆけ今日民崇邱にて祭をなすにより彼けふ邑にきたれり
And they answer them and say, 'He is; lo, before thee! haste, now, for to-day he hath come in to the city, for the people hath a stated sacrifice in a high place.
13 汝ら邑にる時かれが崇邱にのぼりて食に就くまへに直ちにかれにあはん其は彼まづ祭品を祝してしかるのち招かれたる者食ふべきに因りかれが來るまでは民食はざるなり故に汝らのぼれ今かれにあはんと
At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice; afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at this time ye find him.'
14 かれら邑にのぼりて邑のなかにいるとき視よサムエル崇邱にのぼらんとてかれらにむかひて出きたりぬ
And they go up in to the city; they are coming in to the midst of the city, and lo, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
15 ヱホバ、サウルのきたる一日まへにサムエルの耳につげていひたまひけるは
and Jehovah had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
16 明日いまごろ我ベニヤミンの地より一箇の人を汝につかはさん汝かれに膏を注ぎてわが民イスラエルの長となせかれわが民をペリシテ人の手より救ひいださんわが民のさけび我に達せしにより我是をかへりみるなり
'At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin — and thou hast anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath come in unto Me.'
17 サムエル、サウルを見るときヱホバこれにいひたまひけるは視よわが汝につげしは此人なり是人わが民ををさむべし
When Samuel hath seen Saul, then hath Jehovah answered him, 'Lo, the man of whom I have spoken unto thee; this [one] doth restrain My people.'
18 サウル門の中にてサムエルにちかづきいひけるは先見者の家はいづくにあるや請ふ我につげよ
And Saul draweth nigh to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, where [is] this — the seer's house?'
19 サムエル、サウルにこたへていひけるは我はすなはち先見者なり汝わがまへにゆきて崇邱にのぼれ汝ら今日我とともに食す可し明日われ汝をさらしめ汝の心にあることを悉く汝にしめさん
And Samuel answereth Saul and saith, 'I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and ye have eaten with me to-day, and I have sent thee away in the morning, and all that [is] in thy heart I declare to thee.
20 三日まへに失たる汝の驢馬は旣に見あたりたれば之をおもふなかれ抑もイスラエルの總ての寶は誰の者なるや即ち汝と汝の父の家のものならずや
As to the asses which are lost to thee this day three days, set not thy heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel?' is it not to thee and to all thy father's house?'
21 サウルこたへていひけるは我はイスラエルの支派の最も小き支派なるベニヤミンの人にしてわが族はベニヤミンの支派の諸の族の最も小き者に非やなんぞ斯る事を我にかたるや
And Saul answereth and saith, 'Am not I a Benjamite — of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou spoken unto me according to this word?'
22 サムエル、サウルと其僕をみちびきて堂にいり招かれたる三十人ばかりの者の中の最も上に坐せしむ
And Samuel taketh Saul, and his young man, and bringeth them in to the chamber, and giveth to them a place at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
23 サムエル庖人にいひけるはわが汝にわたして汝の許におけといひし分をもちきたれ
And Samuel saith to the cook, 'Give the portion which I gave to thee, of which I said unto thee, 'Set it by thee?'
24 庖人肩と肩に屬る者をとりあげて之をサウルのまへに置くサムエルいひけるは視よ是は存へおきたる物なり汝のまへにおきて食へ其はわれ民をまねきし時よりこれを汝の爲にたくはへおきたればなりかくてサウル此日サムエルとともに食せり
(and the cook lifteth up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and setteth before Saul), and he saith, 'Lo, that which is left; set [it] before thee — eat, for to this appointed season it is kept for thee, saying, The people I have called;' and Saul eateth with Samuel on that day.
25 崇邱をくだりて邑にいりし時サムエル、サウルとともに屋背の上にてものがたる
And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaketh with Saul on the roof.
26 かれら早くおく即ちサムエル曙に屋背の上なるサウルをよびていけるは起よわれ汝をかへさんとサウルすなはちおきあがるサウルとサムエルともに外にいで
And they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the roof, saying, 'Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth, and they go out, both of them — he and Samuel, without.
27 邑の極處にくだれるときサムエル、サウルにいひけるは僕に命じて我等の先にゆかしめよ(僕先にゆく)しかして汝暫くとどまれ我汝に神の言をしめさん
They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel hath said unto Saul, 'Say to the young man that he pass on before us (and he passeth on), and thou, stand at this time, and I cause thee to hear the word of God.'
