サムエル記Ⅰ 13
1 サウルは三十歳で王の位につき、二年イスラエルを治めた。
[was] a son of (Thirty *X*) year[s] Saul when became king he (and forty *X*) and two years he reigned over Israel.
2 さてサウルはイスラエルびと三千を選んだ。二千はサウルと共にミクマシ、およびベテルの山地におり、一千はヨナタンと共にベニヤミンのギベアにいた。サウルはその他の民を、おのおの、その天幕に帰らせた。
And he chose for himself Saul three thousand from Israel and they were with Saul two thousand at Micmash and in [the] hill country of Beth-el and one thousand they were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin and [the] rest of the people he sent away each man to tents his.
3 ヨナタンは、ゲバにあるペリシテびとの守備兵を敗った。ペリシテびとはそのことを聞いた。そこで、サウルは国中に、あまねく角笛を吹きならして言わせた、「ヘブルびとよ、聞け」。
And he attacked Jonathan [the] garrison of [the] Philistines which [was] at Geba and they heard [the] Philistines and Saul he gave a blast on the trumpet in all the land saying let them hear the Hebrews.
4 イスラエルの人は皆、サウルがペリシテびとの守備兵を敗ったこと、そしてイスラエルがペリシテびとに憎まれるようになったことを聞いた。こうして民は召されて、ギルガルのサウルのもとに集まった。
And all Israel they heard saying he has attacked Saul [the] garrison of [the] Philistines and also it has made itself odious Israel with the Philistines and they were summoned the people after Saul Gilgal.
5 ペリシテびとはイスラエルと戦うために集まった。戦車三千、騎兵六千、民は浜べの砂のように多かった。彼らは上ってきて、ベテアベンの東のミクマシに陣を張った。
And [the] Philistines they gathered - to fight with Israel thirty thousand chariot[s] and six thousand horsemen and a people like the sand which [is] on [the] shore of the sea for multitude and they came up and they encamped at Micmash [the] east of Beth Aven.
6 イスラエルびとは、ひどく圧迫され、味方が危くなったのを見て、ほら穴に、縦穴に、岩に、墓に、ため池に身を隠した。
And everyone of Israel they saw that it was distress to it for it was hard pressed the people and they hid themselves the people in caves and in thickets and in cliffs and in underground chambers and in cisterns.
7 また、あるヘブルびとはヨルダンを渡って、ガドとギレアデの地へ行った。しかしサウルはなおギルガルにいて、民はみな、ふるえながら彼に従った。
And Hebrews they passed over the Jordan [the] land of Gad and Gilead and Saul still he [was] at Gilgal and all the people they trembled after him.
8 サウルは、サムエルが定めたように、七日のあいだ待ったが、サムエルがギルガルにこなかったので、民は彼を離れて散って行った。
(And he waited *Q(K)*) seven days to the appointed time which Samuel and not he had come Samuel Gilgal and it scattered the people from with him.
9 そこでサウルは言った、「燔祭と酬恩祭をわたしの所に持ってきなさい」。こうして彼は燔祭をささげた。
And he said Saul bring near to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he offered up the burnt offering.
10 その燔祭をささげ終ると、サムエルがきた。サウルはあいさつをしようと、彼を迎えに出た。
And it was when finished he to offer up the burnt offering and there! Samuel [was] coming and he went out Saul to meet him to bless him.
11 その時サムエルは言った、「あなたは何をしたのですか」。サウルは言った、「民はわたしを離れて散って行き、あなたは定まった日のうちにこられないのに、ペリシテびとがミクマシに集まったのを見たので、
And he said Samuel what? have you done and he said Saul if I saw that it was scattered the people from with me and you not you had come to [the] appointed time of the days and [the] Philistines [were] gathering Micmash.
12 わたしは、ペリシテびとが今にも、ギルガルに下ってきて、わたしを襲うかも知れないのに、わたしはまだ主の恵みを求めることをしていないと思い、やむを得ず燔祭をささげました」。
And I said now they will come down [the] Philistines against me Gilgal and [the] face of Yahweh not I have entreated and I forced myself and I offered up the burnt offering.
13 サムエルはサウルに言った、「あなたは愚かなことをした。あなたは、あなたの神、主の命じられた命令を守らなかった。もし守ったならば、主は今あなたの王国を長くイスラエルの上に確保されたであろう。
And he said Samuel to Saul you have acted foolishly not you have kept [the] commandment of Yahweh God your which he commanded you for now he established Yahweh kingdom your to Israel until perpetuity.
14 しかし今は、あなたの王国は続かないであろう。主は自分の心にかなう人を求めて、その人に民の君となることを命じられた。あなたが主の命じられた事を守らなかったからである」。
And now kingdom your not it will endure he has sought Yahweh for himself a man according to own heart his and he has appointed him Yahweh to ruler over people his for not you have kept [that] which he commanded you Yahweh.
15 こうしてサムエルは立って、ギルガルからベニヤミンのギベアに上っていった。サウルは共にいる民を数えてみたが、おおよそ六百人あった。
And he arose Samuel and he went up from Gilgal (and he went on way his and the rest of the people it went up after Saul to meet [the] people [of] the battle and they went from Gilgal *X*) Gibeah of Benjamin and he mustered Saul the people who were found with him about six hundred man.
16 サウルとその子ヨナタン、ならびに、共にいる民は、ベニヤミンのゲバにおり、ペリシテびとはミクマシに陣を張っていた。
And Saul and Jonathan son his and the people which was found with them [were] remaining in Geba of Benjamin and [the] Philistines they encamped in Micmash.
17 そしてペリシテびとの陣から三つの部隊にわかれた略奪隊が出てきて、一部隊はオフラの方に向かって、シュアルの地に行き、
And it came out the destroyer from [the] camp of [the] Philistines three companies the company one it turned to [the] direction of Ophrah to [the] land of Shual.
18 一部隊はベテホロンの方に向かい、一部隊は荒野の方のゼボイムの谷を見おろす境の方に向かった。
And the company one it turned [the] direction of Beth Horon and the company one it turned [the] direction the border which looks down over [the] valley of Zeboim the wilderness towards.
19 そのころ、イスラエルの地にはどこにも鉄工がいなかった。ペリシテびとが「ヘブルびとはつるぎも、やりも造ってはならない」と言ったからである。
And a craftsman not he was found in all [the] land of Israel for (they said *Q(K)*) [the] Philistines lest they should make the Hebrews a sword or a spear.
20 ただしイスラエルの人は皆、そのすきざき、くわ、おの、かまに刃をつけるときは、ペリシテびとの所へ下って行った。
And they went down all Israel the Philistines to sharpen each man plowshare his and mattock his and axe his and plowshare his.
21 すきざきと、くわのための料金は一ピムであり、おのに刃をつけるのと、とげのあるむちを直すのは三分の一シケルであった。
And it was the charge two thirds of a shekel for the plowshares and for the mattocks and for three fork and for the axes and to make straight the goad[s].
22 それでこの戦いの日には、サウルおよびヨナタンと共にいた民の手には、つるぎもやりもなく、ただサウルとその子ヨナタンとがそれを持っていた。
And it was on a day of battle and not it was found a sword and a spear in [the] hand of any of the people which [was] with Saul and with Jonathan and it was found to Saul and to Jonathan son his.
23 ペリシテびとの先陣はミクマシの渡りに進み出た。
And it came out [the] garrison of [the] Philistines to [the] pass of Micmash.
