1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
アンモニ人ナハシ、ギレアデのヤベシにのぼりて之を圍むヤベシの人々ナハシにいひけるは我らと約をなせ然らば汝につかへん
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
アンモニ人ナハシこれに答へけるは我かくして汝らと約をなさん即ち我汝らの右の目を抉りてイスラエルの全地に恥辱をあたへん
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
ヤベシの長老これにいひけるは我らに七日の猶予をあたへて使をイスラエルの四方の境におくることを得さしめよ而して若し我らを救ふ者なくば我ら汝にくだらん
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
斯て使サウルのギベアにいたり此事を民の耳に告しかば民皆聲をあげて哭きぬ
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
爰にサウル田より牛にしたがひて來るサウルいひけるは民何によりて哭くやと人々これにヤベシ人の事を告ぐ
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
サウル之を聞るとき神の霊これに臨みてその怒甚だしく燃えたち
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
一軛の牛をころしてこれを切り割き使の手をもてこれをイスラエルの四方の境にあまねくおくりていはしめけるは誰にてもサウルとサムエルにしたがひて出ざる者は其牛かくのごとくせらるべしと民ヱホバを畏み一人のごとく均くいでたり
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
サウル、ベゼクにてこれを數ふるにイスラエルの子孫三十萬ユダの人三萬ありき
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
斯て人々來れる使にいひけるはギレアデのヤベシの人にかくいへ明日日の熱き時汝ら助を得んと使かへりてヤベシ人に告げければ皆よろこびぬ
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
是をもてヤベシの人云けるは明日汝らに降らん汝らの善と思ふところを爲せ
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
明日サウル民を三隊にわかち暁更に敵の軍の中にいりて日の熱くなる時までアンモニ人をころしければ遺れる者は皆ちりぢりになりて二人倶にあるものなかりき
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
民サムエルにいひけるはサウル豈我らの王となるべけんやと言しは誰ぞや其人を引き來れ我ら之をころさん
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
サウルいひけるは今日ヱホバ救をイスラエルに施したまひたれば今日は人をころすべからず
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
茲にサムエル民にいひけるはいざギルガルに往て彼處にて王國を新にせんと
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
民みなギルガルにゆきて彼處にてヱホバのまへにサウルを王となし彼處にて酬恩祭をヱホバのまへに献げサウルとイスラエルの人々皆かしこにて大に祝へり
