< 1 Samuel 12 >

1 Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer 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 Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.
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 Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it 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 Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans 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 saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.
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 Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your 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 Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed 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 After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which 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 when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande 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 And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue 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 Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.
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 Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet 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 Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.
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 ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow 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 yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on 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 Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.
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 nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.
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 Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.
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 said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.
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 vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue 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 Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)
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 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord 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 Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe 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 feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for 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 ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.
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
