サムエル記Ⅰ 2
1 ハンナ祷りて言けるは我心はヱホバによりて喜び我角はヱホバによりて高し我口はわが敵の上にはりひらく是は我汝の救拯によりて樂むが故なり
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 ヱホバのごとく聖き者はあらず其は汝の外に有る者なければなり又われらの神のごとき磐はあることなし
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none besides thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 汝等重ねて甚く誇りて語るなかれ汝等の口より漫言を出すなかれヱホバは全知の神にして行爲を裁度りたまふなり
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 勇者の弓は折れ倒るる者は勢力を帶ぶ
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 飽足る者は食のために身を傭はせ饑たる者は憩へり石女は七人を生み多くの子を有る者は衰ふるにいたる
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become feeble.
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 ヱホバは貧からしめ又富しめたまひ卑くしまた高くしたまふ
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 荏弱者を塵の中より擧げ窮乏者を埃の中より升せて王公の中に坐せしめ榮光の位をつがしめ給ふ地の柱はヱホバの所屬なりヱホバ其上に世界を置きたまへり
He raiseth the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 ヱホバ其聖徒の足を守りたまはん惡き者は黑暗にありて默すべし其は人力をもて勝つべからざればなり
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 ヱホバと爭ふ者は破碎かれんヱホバ天より雷を彼等の上にくだしヱホバは地の極を審き其王に力を與へ其膏そそぎし者の角を高くし給はん
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 エルカナ、ラマに往て其家にいたりしが稚子は祭司エリのまへにありてヱホバにつかふ
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 さてエリの子は邪なる者にしてヱホバをしらざりき
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they knew not the LORD.
13 祭司の民に於る習慣は斯のごとし人祭物をささぐる時肉を烹るあひだに祭司の僕三の歯ある肉叉を手にとりて來り
And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
14 之を釜あるひは鍋あるひは鼎又は炮烙に突きいれ肉叉の引きあぐるところの肉は祭司みなこれを己にとる是くシロに於て凡てそこに來るイスラエル人になせり
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
15 脂をやく前にも亦祭司のしもべ來り祭物をささぐる人にいふ祭司のために燒くべき肉をあたへよ祭司は汝より烹たる肉を受けず生腥の肉をこのむと
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw.
16 もし其人これにむかひ直ちに脂をやくべければ後心のこのむままに取れといはば僕之にいふ否今あたへよ然らずば我強て取んと
And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it to me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 故に其壯者の罪ヱホバのまへに甚だ大なりそは人々ヱホバに祭物をささぐることをいとひたればなり
Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
18 サムエルなほ幼して布のエポデを著てヱホバのまへにつかふ
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 また其母これがために小き明衣をつくり歳毎にその夫とともに年の祭物をささげにのぼる時これをもちきたる
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 エリ、エルカナとその妻を祝していひけるは汝がヱホバにささげたる者のためにヱホバ此婦よりして子を汝にあたへたまはんことをねがふと斯てかれら其郷にかへる
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home.
21 しかしてヱホバ、ハンナをかへりみたまひければハンナ孕みて三人の男子と二人の女子をうめり童子サムエルはヱホバのまへにありて生育てり
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
22 ここにエリ甚だ老て其子等がイスラエルの人々になせし諸の事を聞きまた其集會の幕屋の門にいづる婦人たちと寝たるを聞て
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 これにいひけるは何ぞ斯る事をなすや我このすべての民より汝らのあしき行をきく
And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 わが子よ然すべからず我きくところの風聞よからず爾らヱホバの民をしてあやまたしむ
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to transgress.
25 人もし人にむかひて罪ををかさば神之をさばかんされど人もしヱホバに向ひて罪ををかさば誰かこれがためにとりなしをなさんやとしかれども其子父のことばを聽ざりきそはヱホバかれらを殺さんと思ひたまへばなり
If one man shall sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall plead for him? However they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 童子サムエル生長ゆきてヱホバと人とに愛せらる
And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27 茲に神の人エリの許に來りこれにいひけるはヱホバ斯くいひたまふ爾の父祖の家エジプトにおいてパロの家にありしとき我明かに之にあらはれしにあらずや
And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
28 我これをイスラエルの諸の支派のうちより選みてわが祭司となしわが壇の上に祭物をささげ香をたかしめ我前にエポデを衣しめまたイスラエルの人の火祭を悉く汝の父の家にあたへたり
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 なんぞわが命ぜし犠牲と禮物を汝の家にてふみつくるや何ぞ我よりもなんぢの子をたふとみわが民イスラエルの諸の祭物の最も嘉きところをもて己を肥すや
Why trample ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 是ゆゑにイスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまはく我誠に曾ていへり汝の家およびなんぢの父祖の家永くわがまへにあゆまんと然ども今ヱホバいひたまふ決めてしからず我をたふとむ者は我もこれをたふとむ我を賤しむる者はかろんぜらるべし
Therefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 視よ時いたらん我汝の腕と汝の父祖の家の腕を絶ち汝の家に老たるもの无らしめん
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
32 我大にイスラエルを善すべけれど汝の家内には災見えん汝の家にはこののち永く老るものなかるべし
And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
33 またわが壇より絶ざる汝の族の者は汝の目をそこなひ汝の心をいたましめん又汝の家にうまれいづるものは壯年にして死なん
And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 汝のふたりの子ホフニとピネスの遇ところの事を其徴とせよ即ち二人ともに同じ日に死なん
And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 我はわがために忠信なる祭司をおこさん其人わが心とわが意にしたがひておこなはんわれその家をかたうせんかれわが膏そそぎし者のまへに恒にあゆむべし
And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed for ever.
36 しかして汝の家にのこれる者は皆きたりてこれに屈み一厘の金と一片のパンを乞ひ且いはんねがはくは我を祭司の職の一に任じて些少のパンにても食ふことをえせしめよと
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
