< Judges 13 >

1 And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.
イスラエルの子孫またヱホバのまへにて惡を行ひしかばヱホバこれを四十年の間ペリシテ人の手にわたしたまへり
2 And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not.
ここにダン人の族にて名をマノアとよべるゾラ人あり其の妻は石婦にして子を生みしことなし
3 And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, you are barren and have not born; yet you shall conceive a son.
ヱホバの使その女に現れて之にいひけるは汝は石婦にして子を生しことあらず然ど汝孕みて子をうまん
4 And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;
されば汝つつしみて葡萄酒および濃き酒を飮むことなかれまたすべて穢たるものを食ふなかれ
5 for behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.
視よ汝孕みて子を産ん其の頭には剃刀をあつべからずその兒は胎を出るよりして神のナザレ人[神に身を獻げし者]たるべし彼ペリシテ人の手よりイスラエルを拯ひ始めんと
6 And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance [was as] of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.
その婦人來りて夫に告て曰けるは神の人我にのぞめりその容貌は神の使の容貌のごとくにして甚おそろしかりしが我其のいづれより來れるやを問ず彼また其の名を我に告ざりき
7 And he said to me, Behold, you are with child, and shall bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.
彼我にいひけるは視よ汝孕みて子を産まん然ば葡萄酒および濃き酒を飮むなかれまたすべてけがれたるものを食ふなかれその兒は胎を出るより其の死る日まで神のナザレ人たるべしと
8 And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray you, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom you sent; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.
マノア、ヱホバにこひ求めていひけるはああわが主よ汝がさきに遣はしたまひし神の人をふたたび我らにのぞませ之をして我らがその産るる兒になすべき事を教へしめたまへ
9 And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.
神マノアの聲をききいれたまひて神の使者婦人の田野に坐しをる時に復之にのぞめり時に夫マノアは共にをらざりき
10 And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in [the other] day to me has appeared to me.
是において婦いそぎ走りて夫の告て之にいひけるは先頃我にのぞみし人また我に現はれたりと
11 And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].
マノアすなはち起て妻のあとに付て行き其人のもとに至りて之に汝はかつて此婦に語言し人なるかといふに然りとこたふ
12 And Manoe said, Now shall [your] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?
マノアいひけるは汝の言のごとく成ん時は其兒の養育方および之になすべき事は如何
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.
ヱホバの使者マノアにいひけるはわがさきに婦に言しところのことどもは婦之をつつしむべきなり
14 She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.
すなはち葡萄樹よりいづる者は凡て食ふべからず葡萄酒と濃き酒を飮ずまたすべて穢たるものを食ふべからずすべてわが彼に命じたることどもを彼守るべきなり
15 And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain you here, and prepare before you a kid of the goats.
マノア、ヱホバの使者にいひけるは請我らをして汝を款留しめ汝のまへに山羊羔を備へしめよ
16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If you should detain me, I will not eat of your bread; and if you would offer a whole burnt offering, to the Lord you shall offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.
ヱホバの使者マノアにいひける汝我を款留るも我は汝の食物をくらはじまた汝燔祭をそなへんとならばヱホバにこれをそなふべしとマノアは彼がヱホバの使者なるを知ざりしなり
17 And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] your name, that [when] your word shall come to pass, we may glorify you?
マノア、ヱホバの使者にいひけるは汝の名はなにぞ汝の言の効驗あらんときは我ら汝を崇ん
18 And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?
ヱホバの使者之にいひけるは我が名は不思議なり汝何故に之をたづぬるやと
19 And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and [the angel] wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.
マノア山羊羔と素祭物とをとり磐のうへにて之をヱホバにささぐ使者すなはち不思議なる事をなせりマノアとその妻之を視る
20 And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.
すなはち火燄壇より天にあがれるときヱホバの使者壇の火燄のうちにありて昇れりマノアと其の妻これを視をりて地にひれふせり
21 And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.
ヱホバの使者そののち重ねてマノアと其の妻に現はれざりきマノアつひに彼がヱホバの使者たりしを暁れり
22 And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
茲にマノアその妻にむかひ我ら神を視たれば必ず死ぬるならんといふに
23 But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received of our hand a whole burnt offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shown us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things
其の妻之にいひけるはヱホバもし我らを殺さんとおもひたまはばわれらの手より燔祭及び素祭をうけたまはざりしならんまたこれらの諸のことを我らに示すことをなしこたびのごとく我らに斯ることを告たまはざりしなるべしと
24 And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
かくて婦子を産てその名をサムソンと呼べりその子育ち行くヱホバこれを惠みたまふ
25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
ヱホバの靈ゾラとエシタオルのあひだなるマハネダンにて始て感動す
