1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
サムエル、イスラエルの人々にいひけるは視よ我汝らが我にいひし言をことごとく聽て汝らに王を立たり
2 And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth unto this day, behold here I am.
見よ今王汝らのまへにあゆむ我は老て髮しろし視よわが子ども汝らと共にあり我幼稚時より今日にいたるまで汝等のまへにあゆめり
3 Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man’s ox, or ass: If I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man’s hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you.
視よ我ここにありヱホバのまへと其膏そそぎし者のまへに我を訴へよ我誰の牛を取りしや誰の驢馬をとりしや誰を掠めしや誰を虐遇しや誰の手より賄賂をとりてわが目を矇せしや有ば我これを汝らにかへさん
4 And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor taken ought at any man’s hand.
彼らいひけるは汝は我らをかすめずくるしめず又何をも人の手より取りしことなし
5 And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness.
サムエルかれらにいひけるは汝らが我手のうちに何をも見いださざるをヱホバ汝らに證したまふ其膏そそぎし者も今日證す彼ら答へけるは證したまふ
6 And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord, who made Moses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt.
サムエル民にいひけるはヱホバはモーセとアロンをたてし者汝らの先祖をエジプトの地より導きいだせしものなり
7 Now therefore stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers:
立ちあがれヱホバが汝らおよび汝らの先祖になしたまひし諸の義しき行爲につきて我ヱホバのまへに汝らと論ぜん
8 How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt: and made them dwell in this place.
ヤコブのエジプトにいたるにおよびて汝らの先祖のヱホバに呼はりし時ヱホバ、モーセとアロンを遣はしたまひて此二人汝らの先祖をエジプトより導きいだして此處にすましめたり
9 And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
しかるに彼ら其神ヱホバを忘れしかばヱホバこれをハゾルの軍の長シセラの手とペリシテ人の手およびモアブ王の手にわたしたまへり斯て彼らこれを攻ければ
10 But afterwards they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Astaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
民ヱホバに呼はりていひけるは我らヱホバを棄てバアルとアシタロテに事へてヱホバに罪を犯したりされど今我らを敵の手より救ひいだしたまへ我ら汝につかへんと
11 And the Lord sent Jerobaal, and Badan, and Jephte, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt securely.
是においてヱホバ、ヱルバアルとバラクとエフタとサムエルを遣はして汝らを四方の敵の手より救ひいだしたまひて汝ら安らかに住めり
12 But seeing that Naas king of the children of Ammon was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king.
しかるに汝らアンモンの子孫の王ナハシの汝らを攻んとて來るを見て汝らの神ヱホバ汝らの王なるに汝ら我にいふ否我らををさむる王なかるべからずと
13 Now therefore your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king.
今汝らが選みし王汝らがねがひし王を見よ視よヱホバ汝らに王をたてたまへり
14 If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God.
汝らもしヱホバを畏みて之につかへ其言にしたがひてヱホバの命にそむかずまた汝らと汝らををさむる王恒に汝らの神ヱホバに從はば善し
15 But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers.
しかれども汝らもしヱホバの言にしたがはずしてヱホバの命にそむかばヱホバの手汝らの先祖をせめしごとく汝らをせむべし
16 Now then stand, and see this great thing which the Lord will do in your sight.
汝ら今たちてヱホバが爾らの目のまへになしたまふ此大なる事を見よ
17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you.
今日は麥刈時にあらずや我ヱホバを呼んヱホバ雷と雨をくだして汝らが王をもとめてヱホバのまへに爲したる罪の大なるを見しらしめたまはん
18 And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day.
かくてサムエル、ヱホバをよびければヱホバ其日雷と雨をくだしたまへり民みな大にヱホバとサムエルを恐る
19 And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.
民みなサムエルにいひけるは僕らのために汝の神ヱホバにいのりて我らを死なざらしめよ我ら諸の罪にまた王を求むるの惡をくはへたればなり
20 And Samuel said to the people: Fear not, you have done all this evil: but yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
サムエル民にいひけるは懼るなかれ汝らこの總ての惡をなしたりされどヱホバに從ふことを息ず心をつくしてヱホバに事へ
21 And turn not aside after vain things which shall never profit you, nor deliver you, because they are vain.
虚しき物に迷ひゆくなかれ是は虚しき物なれば汝らを助くることも救ふことも得ざるなり
22 And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people.
ヱホバ其大なる名のために此民をすてたまはざるべし其はヱホバ汝らをおのれの民となすことを善としたまへばなり
23 And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you, and I will teach you the good and right way.
また我は汝らのために祈ることをやめてヱホバに罪ををかすことは決てせざるべし且われ善き正しき道をもて汝らををしへん
24 Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you.
汝ら只ヱホバをかしこみ心をつくして誠にこれにつかへよ而して如何に大なることをヱホバ汝らになしたまひしかを思ふ可し
25 But if you will still do wickedly: both you and your king shall perish together.
しかれども汝らもしなほ惡をなさば汝らと汝らの王ともにほろぼさるべし
