Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for 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 Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.
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 the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to 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 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
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 you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
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 Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give 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 But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to 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 Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.
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 God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah 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 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
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 Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he 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 Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?
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 Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
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 is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.
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 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
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 Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the 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 Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?
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 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
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 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
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 when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces 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 But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the 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 Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
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 was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.
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 So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on 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 first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
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
