士師記 19
1 其頃イスラエルに王なかりし時にあたりてエフライムの山の奧に一人のレビ人寄寓をりベテレヘムユダより一人の婦人をとりて妾となしたるに
And it cometh to pass, in those days, when there is no king in Israel, that there is a man a Levite, a sojourner in the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he taketh to him a wife, a concubine, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah;
2 その妾彼に背きて姦淫を爲し去てベテレヘムユダなるその父の家にかへり其所に四月といふ日をおくれり
and commit whoredom against him doth his concubine, and she goeth from him unto the house of her father, unto Beth-Lehem-Judah, and is there days — four months.
3 是に於てその夫彼をなだめて携かへらんとてその僕と二頭の驢馬をしたがへ起てかれの後をしたひゆきければその父の家に之を導きいたりしに女の父これを見て之に遇ことを悦こべり
And her husband riseth and goeth after her, to speak unto her heart, to bring her back, and his young man [is] with him, and a couple of asses; and she bringeth him into the house of her father, and the father of the young woman seeth him, and rejoiceth to meet him.
4 而してその女の父なる外舅彼をひきとめたれば則ち三日これと共に居り皆食飮して其所に宿りしが
And keep hold on him doth his father-in-law, father of the young woman, and he abideth with him three days, and they eat and drink, and lodge there.
5 四日におよびて朝早く起あがり彼たちて去んとしければ女の父その婿に言ふ少許の食物をもて汝の心を強くして然る後に去れよと
And it cometh to pass, on the fourth day, that they rise early in the morning, and he riseth to go, and the father of the young woman saith unto his son-in-law, 'Support thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye go on.'
6 二人すなはち坐りて共に食飮しけるが女の父その人にいひけるは請ふ幸に今一夜を明し汝の心を樂ましめよと
And they sit and eat both of them together, and drink, and the father of the young woman saith unto the man, 'Be willing, I pray thee, and lodge all night, and let thy heart be glad.'
7 其人起て去んとしけるに外舅これを強たれば遂に復其所に宿り
And the man riseth to go, and his father-in-law presseth on him, and he turneth back and lodgeth there.
8 五日におよびて朝はやく起いでて去んとしたるに女の父これに言けるは請ふ汝の心を強くせよと是をもて日の昃るまでとどまりて共に食をなしけるが
And he riseth early in the morning, on the fifth day, to go, and the father of the young woman saith, 'Support, I pray thee, thy heart;' and they have tarried till the turning of the day, and they eat, both of them.
9 其人つひに妾および僕とともに去んとて起あがりければ女の父彼に言ふ視よ今は日暮なんとす請ふ今一夜を明されよ視よ日昃たり汝此にやどりて汝の心をたのしませ明日蚤く起て出たち汝の家にいたれよと
And the man riseth to go, he and his concubine, and his young man, and his father-in-law, father of the young woman, saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, the day hath fallen toward evening, lodge all night, I pray thee; lo, the declining of the day! lodge here, and let thine heart be glad — and ye have risen early to-morrow for your journey, and thou hast gone to thy tent.'
10 然るに其人止宿ることを肯はずして起て去りヱブスの對面に至れり是はエルサレムなり鞍おける二の驢馬彼とともにあり妾も彼とともなりき
And the man hath not been willing to lodge all night, and he riseth, and goeth, and cometh in till over-against Jebus (It [is] Jerusalem), and with him [are] a couple of asses saddled; and his concubine [is] with him.
11 彼らヱブスの近傍にをる時日はや沒んとしければ僕その主人にいひけるは請ふ來れ我等身をめぐらしてヱブス人の此邑にいりて其所に宿らんと
They [are] near Jebus, and the day hath gone greatly down, and the young man saith unto his lord, 'Come, I pray thee, and we turn aside unto this city of the Jebusite, and lodge in it.'
12 その主人これに言けるは我等は彼所に身をめぐらしてイスラエルの子孫の邑ならざる外國の人の邑にいるべからずギベアに進みゆかんと
And his lord saith unto him, 'Let us not turn aside unto the city of a stranger, that is not of the sons of Israel, thither, but we have passed over unto Gibeah.'
13 すなはちその僕にいひけるは來れ我らギベアかラマか是等の處の一に就て止宿んと
And he saith to his young man, 'Come, and we draw near to one of the places, and have lodged in Gibeah, or in Ramah.'
14 皆すすみ往きけるがベニヤミンのギベアの近邊にて日暮たれば
And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goeth in upon them near Gibeah, which is to Benjamin;
15 ギベアにゆきて宿らんとて其所に身をめぐらし入て邑の衢に坐しけるに誰も彼を家に接て宿らしむる者なかりき
and they turn aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and he goeth in and sitteth in a broad place of the city, and there is no man gathering them into the house to lodge.
16 時に一人の老人日暮に田野の働作をやめて歸りきたる此人はエフライム山の者にしてギベアに寄寓れるなり但し此處の人はベニヤミン人なり
And lo, a man, an aged one, hath come from his work from the field in the evening, and the man [is] of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he [is] a sojourner in Gibeah, and the men of the place [are] Benjamites.
17 彼目をあげて旅人の邑の衢にをるを見たり老人すなはちいひけるは汝は何所にゆくなるや何所より來れるやと
And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the man, the traveller, in a broad place of the city, and the aged man saith, 'Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?'
18 その人これにいひけるは我らはベテレヘムユダよりエフライム山の奧におもむく者なり我は彼所の者にて旣にベテレヘムユダにゆき今ヱホバの室に詣らんとするなるが誰もわれを家に接ものあらず
And he saith unto him, 'We are passing over from Beth-Lehem-Judah unto the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim — thence I [am], and I go unto Beth-Lehem-Judah; and to the house of Jehovah I am going, and there is no man gathering me into the house,
19 然ど驢馬の藁も飼蒭もあり又我と汝の婢および僕等とともなる少者の用ふべき食物も酒も在て何も事缺るところなし
and both straw and provender are for our asses, and also bread and wine there are for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants; there is no lack of anything.'
20 老人いひけるは願くは汝安かれ汝が需むる者は我そなへん唯衢に宿るなかれと
And the old man saith, 'Peace to thee; only, all thy lack [is] on me, only in the broad place lodge not.'
21 かれをその家に携れ驢馬に飼ふ彼らすなはち足をあらひて食飮せしが
And he bringeth him in to his house, and mixeth [food] for the asses, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
22 その心を樂ませをる時にあたりて邑の人々の邪なる者その家をとりかこみ戸を打たたきて家の主人なる老人に言ふ汝の家にきたれる人をひき出せ我らこれを犯さんと
They are making their heart glad, and lo, men of the city, men — sons of worthlessness — have gone round about the house, beating on the door, and they speak unto the old man, the master of the house, saying, 'Bring out the man who hath come unto thine house, and we know him.'
23 是に於て家の主人なる人かれらの所にいでゆきてこれに言けるは否わが兄弟よ惡をなす勿れ此人すでにわが家にいりたればこの愚なる事をなすなかれ
And the man, the master of the house, goeth out unto them, and saith unto them, 'Nay, my brethren, do not evil, I pray you, after that this man hath come in unto my house, do not this folly;
24 我が處女なる女と此人の妾とあるにより我これを今つれいだすべければ汝らかれらを辱しめ汝等の好むところをこれに爲せ唯この人には斯る愚なる事を爲すなかれと
lo, my daughter, the virgin, and his concubine, let me bring them out, I pray you, and humble ye them, and do to them that which is good in your eyes, and to this man do not this foolish thing.'
25 然るにその人々これを聽いれざるにより其人その妾をとりてこれを彼らの所にいだしやりければすなはちこれを犯して朝にいたるまで終夜これを辱しめ日のいづる頃にいたりて釋てり
And the men have not been willing to hearken to him, and the man taketh hold on his concubine, and bringeth [her] out unto them without, and they know her, and roll themselves upon her all the night, till the morning, and send her away in the ascending of the dawn;
26 是をもて婦黎明にきたりてその夫のをる彼人の家の門に仆れ夜のあくるまで其處に臥をる
and the woman cometh in at the turning of the morning, and falleth at the opening of the man's house, where her lord [is], till the light.
27 その主朝におよびておきいで家の戸をひらきて出去んとせしがその妾の婦の家の門にたふれをりて手を閾の上におくを見ければ
And her lord riseth in the morning, and openeth the doors of the house, and goeth out to go on his way, and lo, the woman, his concubine, is fallen at the opening of the house, and her hands [are] on the threshold,
28 これにむかひ起よ我ら出往んと言たれども何の答もあらざりき是によりてその人これを驢馬にのせたちて己の所におもむきしが
and he saith unto her, 'Rise, and we go;' and there is none answering, and he taketh her on the ass, and the man riseth and goeth to his place,
29 家にいたるにおよびて刀をとり其妾を執へて骨ぐるみこれを十二分にたちわりて之をイスラエルの四方の境におくりければ
and cometh in unto his house, and taketh the knife, and layeth hold on his concubine, and cutteth her in pieces to her bones — into twelve pieces, and sendeth her into all the border of Israel.
30 之を見る者皆いふイスラエルの子孫がエジプトの地より出のぼりし日より今日にいたるまで斯のごとき事は行はれしことなく見えしことなし思をめぐらし相議りて言ふことをせよ
And it hath come to pass, every one who seeth hath said, 'There hath not been — yea, there hath not been seen like this, from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt till this day; set your [heart] upon it, take counsel, and speak.'
