士師記 15
1 日を經てのち麥秋の時にサムソン山羊羔をたづさへて妻のもとを訪ていひけるは我室に入てわが妻に會んと然るに妻の父其の入ことをゆるさず
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 其父すなはちいひけるはわれまことに汝は彼の婦を嫌ひたりと意ひしがゆゑに彼を汝の伴侶たりし者に與へたり彼が妹は彼よりも善にあらずやねがはくは彼に代て之を汝のものとせよ
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
3 サムソン彼らにいひけるは今回はわれペリシテ人に害を加ふるとも彼らに對して罪なかるべしと
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 サムソンすなはち往て山犬三百をとらへ火炬をとり尾と尾をあはせてその二つの尾の間に一つの火炬を結ひつけ
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5 火炬に火をつけてペリシテ人のいまだ刈ざる麥のなかにこれを放ち入れその束ね積たるものといまだ刈ざるものを焚き橄欖の園にまで及ぼせり
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 ペリシテ人いひけるは是は誰の行爲なるやこたへて言ふテムナテ人の婿サムソンなりそは彼サムソンの妻をとりて其伴侶なりし者に與へたればなりとここにおいてペリシテ人上りきたりて彼の婦とその父とを火にて燒きうしなへり
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 サムソンかれらに言ふ汝ら斯おこなへば我汝らに仇をむくはでは止じと
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 すなはち脛に腿に彼らを撃て大いに之を殺せりかくてサムソンは下りてエタムの巖間に居る
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 ここにおいてペリシテ人上り來りてユダに陣を取りレヒに布き備へたれば
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 ユダの人々いひけるは汝ら何の故にわれらに攻めのぼりたるやとかれらこたへけるはサムソンをしばりて彼がわれらに爲しごとくかれに爲んとてのぼれるなりと
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 是をもてユダの人三千人エタムの巖間にくだりてサムソンにいふ汝ペリシテ人はわれらを轄るものなるを知らざるや汝などてかわれらに斯る事をなせしやサムソンかれらにいひけるは我は彼らが我に爲しごとく彼らに爲しなりと
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12 かれらまたサムソンにいひけるは我らは汝をしばりてペリシテ人の手にわたさんとて下りきたれりサムソンかれらにいひけるは汝らの自われを害すまじきことを我に誓へ
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13 彼ら之にかたりていふいなわれらはただ汝を縛りいましめてペリシテ人の手にわたさんのみわれらは必らず汝を殺さざるべしとすなはち二條の新しき索をもてかれをいましめて巖より之を携かへれり
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 サムソン、レヒにいたれるときペリシテ人聲を揚てかれに近づきしが時しもヱホバの靈彼にのぞみたればその腕にかかれる索は火に焚たる麻のごとくになりて手のいましめ解はなれたり
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 サムソンすなはち驢馬のあたらしき腮骨ひとつを見出し手をのべて之を取り其をもて一千人を殺し
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 而して言ふ驢馬の腮骨をもて山をきづき山をつくる驢馬の腮骨をもて我一千人を撃殺せりと
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 かく言終りてその手より腮骨をうちすて其處をラマテレヒと名けたり
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 時に彼渇をおぼゆること甚だしかりしかばヱホバによばはりていふ汝のしもべの手をもて汝この大なる拯をほどこしたまへるにわれ今渇きて死に割禮を受けざるものの手におちいらんとすと
He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19 ここにおいて神レヒに在るくぼめる所を裂きたまひしかば水そこより流れいでしがサムソン之を飮たれば精神舊に返りてふたたび爽になりぬ故に其名をエンハッコレ（呼はれるものの泉）と呼ぶ是今日にいたるまでレヒに在り
And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 サムソンはペリシテ人の治世の時に二十年イスラエルをさばけり
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
