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
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer 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
And her father spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
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
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief amongst 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
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
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 he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
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
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went 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
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards 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
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock 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
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
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
And the men of Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and 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
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson 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
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon 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
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that 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
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed 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 the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
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
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass 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
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
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
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new 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 broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until 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
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
