1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth, in Ramah, —and came in, and said before Jonathan—What have I done? What is my transgression, and what my sin, before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
ダビデ、ラマのナヨテより逃きたりてヨナタンにいひけるは我何をなし何のあしき事あり汝の父のまへに何の罪を得てか彼わが命を求むる
2 And he said unto him—Far be it! thou shalt not die. Lo! my father doeth nothing, great or small, without unveiling mine ear, —wherefore, then, should my father hide from me, this thing? There is, nothing, in this.
ヨナタンかれにいひけるは汝決て殺さるることあらじ視よわが父は事の大なるも小なるも我につげずしてなすことなしわが父なんぞこの事を我にかくさんやこの事しからず
3 But David sware yet further, and said—Thy father, doth know, that I have found favour in thine eyes, therefore saith he, —Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he grieve; but, indeed, by the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, surely there is but as it were a step betwixt me and death!
ダビデまた誓ひていひけるは汝の父必ずわが汝のまへに恩惠をうるを知る是をもてかれ思へらく恐らくはヨナタン悲むべければこの事をかれにしらしむべからずとしかれどもヱホバはいくまたなんぢの霊魂はいくわれは死をさること只一歩のみ
4 And Jonathan said unto David, —Whatsoever thy soul shall desire, I will do for thee.
ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるはなんぢの心なにをねがふか我爾のために之をなさんと
5 And David said unto Jonathan—Lo! the new moon, is to-morrow, and, I, must not sit with the king, to eat, —let me go then, and hide myself in the field, until the evening.
ダビデ、ヨナタンにいひけるは明日は月朔なれば我王とともに食につかざるべからず然ども我をゆるして去らしめ三日の晩まで野に隱るることをえさしめよ
6 If thy father, enquire, for me, then shalt thou say—David, did ask leave, of me, to run to Bethlehem, his own city, for, a yearly sacrifice, [is to be held] there for all the family.
若汝の父まことに我をもとめなば其時言へダビデ切に其邑ベテレヘムにはせゆかんことを我に請り其は彼處に全家の歳祭あればなりと
7 If, thus, he say—It is well, —thy servant shall have, peace, —but, if it, anger, him, know that harm hath been determined by him.
彼もし善しといはば僕やすからんされど彼もし甚しく怒らば彼の害をくはへんと決しを知れ
8 Thus shalt thou do a lovingkindness for thy servant, for, into a covenant of Yahweh, hast thou brought thy servant, with thee, —But, if there is in me transgression, put me to death, thyself, for, unto thy father, wherefore shouldst thou bring me in?
汝ヱホバのまへに僕と契約をむすびたれば願くは僕に恩をほどこせ然ど若我に惡き事あらば汝自ら我をころせ何ぞ我を汝の父に引ゆくべけんや
9 And Jonathan said—Far be it from thee! but, if I, get to know, that harm is determined by my father, to bring it upon thee, is not, that, the thing that I will tell thee?
ヨナタンいひけるは斯る事かならず汝にあらざれ我わが父の害を汝にくはへんと決るをしらば必ず之を汝につげん
10 Then said David unto Jonathan, Who shall tell me, —if thy father answer thee aught that is, harsh?
ダビデ、ヨナタンにいひけるは若し汝の父荒々しく汝にこたふる時は誰か其事を我に告ぐべきや
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come! and let us go out into the field. And they two went out into the field.
ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは來れ我ら野にいでゆかんと倶に野にいでゆけり
12 Then said Jonathan unto David—Witness [be] Yahweh God of Israel, that I will sound my father about this time to-morrow or the third day, and lo! if there he good towards David, will I not, then, send unto thee, and unveil thine ear?
しかしてヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバよ明日か明後日の今ごろ我わが父を窺ひて事のダビデのために善きを見ながら人を汝に遣はして告しらさずばヱホバ、ヨナタンに斯なしまた重て斯くなしたまへ
13 So, let Yahweh do unto Jonathan, and, so, let him add—when harm against thee seemeth good unto my father, then will I unveil thine ear, and let thee go, and thou shall depart in peace, —then Yahweh be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
されど若しわが父汝に害をくはへんと欲せば我これを告げしらせて汝をにがし汝を安らかにさらしめん願くはヱホバわが父とともに坐せしごとく汝とともにいませ
14 And, not only while I yet live, shalt thou deal with me in the lovingkindness of Yahweh, that I die not:
汝只わが生るあひだヱホバの恩を我にしめして死ざらしむるのみならず
15 but thou shalt not cut off thy lovingkindness from my house, unto times age-abiding, —no! not when Yahweh hath cut off the enemies of David, every one from off the face of the ground.
ヱホバがダビデの敵を悉く地の表より絶ちさりたまふ時にもまた汝わが家を永く汝の恩にはなれしむるなかれ
16 Thus Jonathan solemnised a covenant with the house of David [saying], —So let Yahweh require it, at the hand of the enemies of David.
かくヨナタン、ダビデの家と契約をむすぶヱホバ之に關てダビデの敵を討したまへり
17 And again Jonathan sware unto David, by his love to him, —for, as he loved his own soul, so loved he him.
しかしてヨナタンふたたびダビデに誓はしむかれを愛すればなり即ちおのれの生命を愛するごとく彼を愛せり
18 Then said Jonathan unto him—To-morrow, is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be empty;
またヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは明日は月朔なるが汝の座空かるべければ汝求めらるべし
19 and, when thou hast tarried three days, thou shalt come down quickly and enter the place, where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the deed, and shall remain by the side of this mound.
汝三日とどまりて速かに下り嘗てかの事の日に隱れたるところに至りてエゼルの石の傍に居るべし
20 And, as for me—three arrows to the side, will I shoot, —as though I shot at a mark.
我的を射るごとくして其石の側に三本の矢をはなたん
21 And lo! I will send the boy [saying], Go, find the arrow! If I, say, to the boy—Lo! the arrows, are on this side of thee—take them, then come, for there is peace for thee, and no cause [for fear], by the life of Yahweh.
しかしてゆきて矢をたづねよといひて僮子をつかはすべし我もし故に僮子に視よ矢は汝の此旁にあり其を取と曰ばなんぢきたるべしヱホバは生く汝安くして何もなかるべければなり
22 But, if, thus, I say to the youth, Lo! the arrows are beyond thee, depart, for Yahweh hath sent thee away.
されど若し我少年に視よ矢は汝の彼旁にありといはば汝さるべしヱホバ汝をさらしめたまふなり
23 But, as touching the matter whereof we spake—I and thou, lo! Yahweh, be betwixt me and thee, unto times age-abiding.
汝と我とかたれることについては願はくはヱホバ恒に汝と我との間にいませと
24 So David hid himself in the field—and, when the new moon had come, the king sat down to eat, food,
ダビデ即ち野にかくれぬ偖月朔になりければ王坐して食に就く
25 yea the king sat down on his seat, as at other times, by the seat against the wall, and, when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, —but David’s place was empty.
即ち王は常のごとく壁によりて座を占むヨナタン立あがりアブネル、サウルの側に坐すダビデの座はなむし
26 Saul, however, spake nothing that day, —for he said to himself—It is, an accident, he is, not clean, because he hath not been cleansed.
されど其日にはサウル何をも曰ざりき其は何事か彼におこりしならん彼きよからず定て潔からずと思ひたればなり
27 And it came to pass, on the morrow, the second of the month, that David’s place was empty, —and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore hath not the son of Jesse come in, either yesterday or to-day, to meat?
明日すなはち月の二日におよびてダビデの座なほ虚しサウル其子ヨナタンにいひけるは何ゆゑにヱサイの子は昨日も今日も食に來らざるや
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, —David, asked leave, of me, [to go] as far as Bethlehem;
ヨナタン、サウルにこたへけるはダビデ切にベテレヘムにゆかんことを我にこひて曰けるは
29 and said—Let me go, I pray thee, for, a family sacrifice, have we in the city, and my brethren have commanded me, now, therefore, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me slip away, I pray thee, that I may see my brethren. For this cause, hath he not come in unto the table of the king.
ねがはくは我をゆるしてゆかしめよわが家邑にて祭をなすによりわが兄我にきたることを命ぜり故に我もし汝のまへにめぐみをえたるならばねがはくは我をゆるして去しめ兄弟をみることを得さしめよと是故にかれは王の席に來らざるなり
30 Then was Saul’s anger kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of rebellious perversity! do I not know that thou art, confederate, with the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and to the confusion of the shame of thy mother?
サウル、ヨナタンにむかひて怒りを發しかれにいひけるは汝は曲り且悖れる婦の子なり我あに汝がヱサイの子を簡みて汝の身をはづかしめまた汝の母の膚を辱しむることを知ざらんや
31 For, as long as, the son of Jesse, liveth on the ground, thou wilt not be established, thou nor thy kingdom, Now, therefore, send and fetch him unto me, for, doomed to death, is he!
ヱサイの子の此世にながらふるあひだは汝と汝の位固くたつを得ず是故に今人をつかはして彼をわが許に引きたれ彼は死ぬべき者なり
32 And Jonathan responded to Saul his father, —and said unto him—Wherefore must he be put to death, What hath he done?
ヨナタン父サウルに對へていひけるは彼なにによりて殺さるべきか何をなしたるやと
33 And Saul hurled his spear at him, to smite him. So Jonathan knew that it was, determined, of his father, to put David to death.
ここにおいてサウル、ヨナタンを撃んとて投槍をさしあげたりヨナタンすなはち其父のダビデを殺さんと決しをしれり
34 Jonathan therefore rose up from the table, in a glow of anger, —and did eat no food on the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had reviled him.
かくてヨナタン烈しく怒りて席を立ち月の二日には食をなさざりき其は其父のダビデをはづかしめしによりてダビデのために憂へたればなり
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went forth into the field, to the place appointed with David, —a little lad, being with him.
翌朝ヨナタン一小童子を從がヘダビデと約せし時刻に野にいでゆき
36 And he said to his lad—Run, find, I pray thee, the arrows which I am about to shoot. The boy, ran, but, he, shot the arrow beyond him.
童にいひけるは走りて我はなつ矢をたづねよと童子はしる時ヨナタン矢を彼のさきに發てり
37 And, when the lad came as far as the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow, beyond, thee?
童子がヨナタンの發ちたる矢のところにいたれる時ヨナタン童子のうしろに呼はりていふ矢は汝のさきにあるにあらずや
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Haste thee—be quick, do not stay! so Jonathan’s lad picked up the arrows and brought [them] unto his master.
ヨナタンまた童子のうしろによばはりていひけるは速かにせよ急げ止まるなかれとヨナタンの童子矢をひろひあつめて其主人のもとにかへる
39 But, the lad, knew, nothing, only Jonathan and David, knew the matter.
されど童子は何をも知ざりき只ヨナタンとダビデ其事をしりたるのみ
40 So Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said to him, Go carry them into the city.
かくてヨナタン其武器を童子に授ていひけるは往けこれを邑に携へよと
41 As soon as, the lad, was gone, David, arose from beside the South, and fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself down three times, —and they kissed each other, and wept over each other, until, David, exceeded.
童子すなはち往けり時にダビデ石の傍より立ちあがり地にふして三たび拝せりしかしてふたり互に接吻してたがひに哭くダビデ殊にはなはだし
42 Then said Jonathan unto David—Go in peace, —[remembering] that, we, have both sworn in the name of Yahweh, saying, Yahweh shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, unto times age-abiding. And he arose, and departed, —and, Jonathan, entered the city.
ヨナタン、ダビデにいひけるは安じて往け我ら二人ともにヱホバの名に誓ひて願くはヱホバ恒に我と汝のあひだに坐し我が子孫と汝の子孫のあひだにいませといへりとダビデすなはちたちて去るヨナタン邑にいりぬ
