士師記 16
1 サムソン、ガザに往きかしこにて一人の妓を見てそれの處に入しに
Then went Samson to Azzah, and sawe there an harlot, and went in vnto her.
2 サムソンここに來れりとガザ人につぐるものありければすなはち之を取り圍みよもすがら邑の門に埋伏し詰朝におよび夜の明たる時に之をころすべしといひてよもすがら靜まりかへりて居る
And it was tolde to the Azzahites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laied wayte for him all night in the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the nyght, saying, Abide till the morning earely, and we shall kill him.
3 サムソン夜半までいね夜半にいたりて興き邑の門の扉とふたつの柱に手をかけて楗もろともに之をひきぬき肩に載てヘブロンの向ひなる山の巓に負のぼれり
And Samson slept till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates of the citie, and the two postes and lift them away with the barres, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp to the top of the mountaine that is before Hebron.
4 こののちサムソン、ソレクの谷に居る名はデリラと言ふ婦人を愛す
And after this hee loued a woman by the riuer of Sorek, whose name was Delilah:
5 ペリシテ人の群伯その婦のもとに上り來て之にいひけるは汝サムソンを説すすめてその大いなる力は何に在るかまたわれら如何にせば之に勝て之を縛りくるしむるを得べきかを見出せ然すればわれらおのおの銀千百枚づつをなんぢに與ふべし
Vnto whome came the princes of the Philistims, and said vnto her, Entise him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what meane we may ouercome him, that we may binde him, and punish him, and euery one of vs shall giue thee eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer.
6 ここにおいてデリラ、サムソンにいひけるは汝の大なる力は何にあるかまた如何せば汝を縛りて苦むることを得るや請ふ之をわれにつげよ
And Delilah saide to Samson, Tell mee, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest bee bound, to doe thee hurt.
7 サムソン之にいひけるは人もし乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩をもてわれを縛るときはわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
Samson then answered vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene cordes, that were neuer dryed, then shall I bee weake, and be as an other man.
8 ここに於てペリシテ人の群伯乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩を婦にもち來りければ婦之を以てサムソンをしばりしが
And the princes of the Philistims brought her seuen greene cordes that were not dry, and she bound him therewith.
9 かねて室のうちに人しのび居て己とともにありたれば斯してサムソンにむかひサムソンよペリシテ人汝に及ぶと言にサムソンすなはちその索を絶りあたかも麻絲の火にあひて斷るるがごとし斯其の力の原由知れざりき
(And she had men lying in wayte with her in the chamber) Then she said vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee brake the cordes, as a threede of towe is broken, when it feeleth fire: so his strength was not knowen.
10 デリラ、サムソンにいひけるは視よ汝われを欺きてわれに謊を告たり請ふ何をもてせば汝を縛ることをうるや今我に告よ
After Delilah saide vnto Samson, See, thou hast mocked mee and tolde mee lies. I pray thee nowe, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 彼之にいひけるはもし人用ひたることなき新しき索をもてわれを縛りいましめなばわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
Then he answered her, If they binde mee with newe ropes that neuer were occupied, then shall I be weake, and be as an other man.
12 是をもてデリラあたらしき索をとり其をもて彼を縛りしかして彼にいふサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶと時に室のうちに人しのび居たりしがサムソン絲の如くにその索を腕より絶おとせり
Delilah therefore tooke newe ropes, and bounde him therewith, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson: (and men lay in wayte in the chamber) and hee brake them from his armes, as a threede.
13 デリラ、サムソンにいひけるに今までは汝われを欺きて我に謊をつげたるが何をもてせば汝をしばることをうるやわれに告よと彼之にいひけるは汝もしわが髮毛七繚を機の緯線とともに織ばすなはち可しと
Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast beguiled mee, and tolde me lies: tell me how thou mightest be bounde. And he sayde vnto her, If thou plattedst seuen lockes of mine head with the threedes of the woufe.
14 婦すなはち釘をもて之をとめおきて彼にいひけるはサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶとサムソンすなはちその寢をさまし織機の釘と緯線とを曳拔り
And she fastened it with a pinne, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, and went away with the pinne of the webbe and the woufe.
15 婦ここにおいてサムソンにいひけるは汝の心われに居ざるに汝いかでわれを愛すといふや汝すでに三次われをあざむきて汝が大なる力の何にあるかをわれに告ずと
Againe shee sayde vnto him, Howe canst thou say, I loue thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked mee these three times, and hast not tolde me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 日々にその言をもて之にせまりうながして彼の心を死るばかりに苦ませたれば
And because shee was importunate vpon him with her wordes continually, and vexed him, his soule was pained vnto the death.
17 彼つひにその心をことごとく打明して之にいひけるはわが頭にはいまだかつて剃刀を當しことあらずそはわれ母の胎を出るよりして神のナザレ人たればなりもしわれ髮をそりおとされなばわが力われをはなれわれは弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
Therefore he tolde her all his heart, and said vnto her, There neuer came rasor vpon mine head: for I am a Nazarite vnto God from my mothers wombe: therefore if I bee shauen, my strength will goe from me, and I shalbe weake, and be like all other men.
18 デリラ、サムソンがことごとく其のこころを明したるを見人をつかはしてペリシテ人の群伯を召ていひけるはサムソンことごとくその心をわれに明したれば今ひとたび上り來るべしとここにおいてペリシテ人の群伯かの銀を携へて婦のもとにいたる
And when Delilah sawe that he had tolde her all his heart, she sent, and called for the Princes of ye Philistims, saying, Come vp once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his heart. Then the Princes of the Philistims came vp vnto her, and brought the money in their handes.
19 婦おのが膝のうへにサムソンをねむらせ人をよびてその頭髮七繚をきりおとさしめ之を苦めはじめたるにその力すでにうせさりてあり
And she made him sleepe vpon her knees, and she called a man, and made him to shaue off the seuen lockes of his head, and shee began to vexe him, and his strength was gone from him.
20 婦ここにおいてサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶといひければ彼睡眠をさましていひけるはわれ毎のごとく出て身を振はさんと彼はヱホバのおのれをはなれたまひしを覺らざりき
Then she said, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and thought, I will go out now as at other times, and shake my selfe, but he knewe not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 ペリシテ人すなはち彼を執へ眼を抉りて之をガザにひき下り銅の鏈をもて之を繋げりかくてサムソンは囚獄のうちに磨を挽居たりしが
Therefore the Philistims tooke him, and put out his eyes, and brought him downe to Azzah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee did grinde in the prison house.
22 その髮の毛剃りおとされてのち復長はじめたり
And the heare of his head began to growe againe after that it was shauen.
23 茲にペリシテ人の群伯共にあつまりてその神ダゴンに大なる祭物をささげて祝をなさんとしすなはち言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵サムソンをわれらの手に付したりと
Then the Princes of the Philistims gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice vnto Dagon their god, and to reioyce: for they said, Our god hath deliuered Samson our enemie into our handes.
24 民サムソンを見ておのれの神をほめたたへて言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵たる者われらの地を荒せしものわれらを數多殺せしものをわれらの手に付したりと
Also when the people saw him, they praysed their god: for they sayde, Our god hath deliuered into our hands our enemie and destroyer of our countrey, which hath slayne many of vs.
25 その心に喜びていひけるはサムソンを召てわれらのために戲技をなさしめよとて囚獄よりサムソンを召いだせしかばサムソン之がために戲技をなせり彼等サムソンを柱の間に立しめしに
And when their heartes were merie, they said, Call Samson, that he may make vs pastime. So they called Samson out of the prison house, and he was a laughing stocke vnto them, and they set him betweene the pillars.
26 サムソンおのが手をひきをる少者にいひけるはわれをはなして此家の倚て立ところの柱をさぐりて之に倚しめよと
Then Samson saide vnto the seruant that led him by the hande, Lead me, that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth vpon, and that I may leane to them.
27 その家には男女充ちペリシテ人の群伯もまたみな其處に居る又屋蓋のうへには三千ばかりの男女をりてサムソンの戲技をなすを觀てありき
(Nowe the house was full of men and women, and there were all the princes of the Philistims: also vpon the roofe were about three thousande men and women that behelde while Samson played)
28 時にサムソン、ヱホバに呼はりいひけるはああ主ヱホバよねがはくは我を記念えたまへ嗚呼神よ願くは唯今一度われを強くしてわがふたつの眼のひとつのためにだにもペリシテ人に仇をむくいしめたまへと
Then Samson called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke vpon me: O God, I beseech thee, strengthen me at this time onely, that I may be at once auenged of the Philistims for my two eyes.
29 サムソンすなはちその家の倚てたつところの兩箇の中柱のひとつを右の手ひとつを左の手にかかへて身をこれによせたりしが
And Samson layd hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne vp: on the one with his right hand, and on the other with his left.
30 サムソン我はペリシテ人とともに死なんといひて力をきはめて身をかがめたれば家はそのなかに居る群伯とすべての民のうへに倒れたりかくサムソンが死るときに殺せしものは生けるときに殺せし者よりもおほかりき
Then Samson saide, Let me lose my life with the Philistims: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell vpon the princes, and vpon all the people that were therein. so the dead which he slewe at his death were more then they which he had slaine in his life.
31 こののちサムソンの兄弟およびその父の家族ことごとく下りて之を取り携へのぼりてゾラとエシタオルのあひだなる其の父マノアの墓にはうむれりサムソンがイスラエルをさばきしは二十年なりき
Then his brethren, and all the house of his father came downe and tooke him, and brought him vp and buryed him betweene Zorah and Eshtaol, in the sepulchre of Manoah his father: nowe he had iudged Israel twenty yeeres.
