サムエル記Ⅱ 1
1 サウルの死し後ダビデ、アマレク人を撃てかへりチクラグに二日とどまりけるが
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.
2 第三日に及びて一個の人其衣を裂き頭に土をかむりて陣營より即ちサウルの所より來りダビデの許にいたり地にふして拝せり
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
3 ダビデかれにいひけるは汝いづくより來れるやかれダビデにいひけるはイスラエルの陣營より逃れきたれり
And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 ダビデかれにいひけるは事いかん請ふ我につげよかれこたへけるは民戰に敗れて逃げ民おほく仆れて死りまたサウルと其子ヨナタンも死り
And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 ダビデ其おのれにつぐる少者にいひけるは汝いかにしてサウルと其子ヨナタンの死たるをしるや
And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?
6 ダビデにつぐる少者いひけるは我はからずもギルボア山にのぼり見しにサウル其槍に倚かかりをりて戰車と騎兵かれにせめよらんとせり
And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.
7 彼うしろにふりむきて我を見我をよびたれば我こたへて我ここにありといふ
And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.
8 かれ我に汝は誰なるやといひければ我かれにこたへて我はアマレク人なりといふ
And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.
9 かれまた我にいひけるはわが身いたく攣ば請ふ我うへにのりて我をころせわが生命なほわれの中にまつたければなりと
And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.
10 我すなはちかれの上にのりてかれを殺したり其は我かれが旣に仆て生ることをえざるをしりたればなりしかして我その首にありし冕とその腕にありし釧を取りてこれをわが主に携へきたれり
So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.
11 是においてダビデおのれの衣を執てこれを裂けりまた彼とともにある者も皆しかせり
David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:
12 彼等サウルのためまた其子ヨナタンのためまたヱホバの民のためイスラエルの家のために哭きかなしみて晩まで食を斷り其は彼ら劍にたふれたればなり
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13 ダビデおのれに告し少者にいひけるは汝は何處の者なるやかれこたへけるは我は他國の人すなはちアマレク人なりと
And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.
14 ダビデかれにいひけるは汝なんぞ手をのばしてヱホバの膏そそぎし者をころすことを畏ざりしやと
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
15 ダビデ一人の少者をよびていひけるは近よりてかれをころせとすなはちかれをうちければ死り
And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16 ダビデかれにいひけるは汝の血は汝の首に歸せよ其は汝口づから我ヱホバのあぶらそそぎし者をころせりといひて己にむかひて證をたつればなり
And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.
17 ダビデ悲歌をもてサウルと其子ヨナタンを吊ふ
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 ダビデ命じてこれをユダの族にをしへしむ即ち弓の歌是なり是はヤシル書に記さる
And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.
19 イスラエルよ汝の榮耀は汝の崇邱に殺さる嗚呼勇士は仆れたるかな
O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!
20 此事をガテに告るなかれアシケロンの邑に傳るなかれ恐くはペリシテ人の女等喜ばん恐くは割禮を受ざる者の女等樂み祝はん
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.
21 ギルボアの山よ願は汝の上に雨露降ることあらざれ亦供物の田園もあらざれ其は彼處に勇士の干棄らるればなり即ちサウルの干膏を沃がずして彼處に棄らる
O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.
22 殺せし者の血をのまずしてヨナタンの弓は退かず勇士の脂を食ずしてサウルの劍は空く歸らず
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.
23 サウルとヨナタンは愛らしく樂げにして生死ともに離れず二人は鷲よりも捷く獅子よりも強かりき
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.
24 イスラエルの女等よサウルのために哀けサウルは絳き衣をもて汝等を華麗に粧ひ金の飾を汝等の衣に着たり
O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 嗚呼勇士は戰の中に仆たるかなヨナタン汝の崇邱に殺されぬ
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.
26 兄弟ヨナタンよ我汝のために悲慟む汝は大に我に樂き者なりき汝の我をいつくしめる愛は尋常ならず婦の愛にも勝りたり
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.
27 嗚呼勇士は仆たるかな戰の具は失たるかな
How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
