1 Samuel 27
1 But David thought, “Some day Saul will capture me [if I stay around here]. So the best thing that I can do is to escape and go to the Philistia area. If I do that, Saul will stop searching for me here in Israel, and I will be safe.”
ダビデ心の中にいひけるは是のごとくば我早晩サウルの手にほろびん速にペリシテ人の地にのがるるにまさることあらず然らばサウルかさねて我をイスラエルの四方の境にたづぬることをやめて我かれの手をのがれんと
2 So David and his 600 men left Israel and went to see Maoch’s son Achish, who was king of Gath [city in the Philistia area].
ダビデたちておのれとともな六百人のものとともにわたりてガテの王マオクの子アキシにいたる
3 David and his men and their families started to live there in Gath, the city where king Achish lived. David’s two wives were with him—Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Nabal’s widow Abigail, from Carmel.
ダビデと其從者ガテにてアキシとともに住ておのおの其家族とともにをるダビデはその二人の妻すなはちヱズレル人アヒノアムとカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルとともにあり
4 When someone told Saul that David had run away [and was living] in Gath, he stopped searching for David.
ダビデのガテににげしことサウルにきこえければサウルかさねてかれをたづねざりき
5 [One day] David said to Achish, “If you are pleased with us, give us a place in one of the small villages where we can stay. There is no need [RHQ] for us to stay in the city where you are the king.”
ここにダビデ、アキシにいひけるは我もし爾のまへに恩を得たるならばねがはくは郷里にある邑のうちにて一のところを我にあたへて其處にすむことを得さしめよ僕なんぞ爾とともに王城にすむべけんやと
6 [Achish liked what David suggested]. So that day Achish gave to David Ziklag [town]. As a result, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah since that time.
アキシ其日チクラグをかれにあたへたり是故にヂクラグは今日にいたるまでユダの王に屬す
7 David [and his men] lived in the Philistia area for 16 months.
タビデのペリシテ人の國にをりし日數は一年と四箇月なりき
8 [During that time] David and his men raided the people who lived [in the areas] where the Geshur, Girzi, and Amalek people-groups lived. Those people had lived there a long time. That area extended [south] from Telam to the Shur [Desert] and to [the border of] Egypt.
ダビデ其從者と共にのぼりゲシユル人ゲゼリ人アマレク人を襲ふたり昔より是等はシユルにいたる地にすみてエジプトの地にまでおよべり
9 Whenever David’s men attacked them, they killed all the men and women, and they took all the people’s sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels, and even their clothes. Then they would bring those things back home, [and David would go to talk] to Achish.
ダビデ其地をうちて男をも女をも生し存さず羊と牛と駱駝と衣服をとりて還りてアキシに至る
10 Each time Achish would ask David, “Where did you go raiding today?” David [would lie to him]. Sometimes he would reply that they had gone to the southern part of Judah, and sometimes he would say that they had gone to Jerahmeel, or to the area where the Ken people-group lived.
アキシいひけるは爾ら今日何地を襲ひしやダビデいひけるはユダの南とヱラメルの南とケニ人の南ををかせりと
11 David’s men never brought back to Gath any man or woman who was left alive. David thought, “If [we do not kill everyone, some of] them [who are still alive] will go and tell Achish [the truth] about what we really did.” David did that all the time that he [and his men] lived in the Philistia area.
ダビデ男も女も生存らしめずして一人をもガテにひきゆかざりき其はダビデ恐くは彼らダビデかくなせりといひて我儕の事を告んといひたればなりダビデ、ペリシテ人の地にすめるあひだは其なすところ常にかくのごとくなりき
12 So Achish believed [what] David [told him], and said to himself, “[Because of what David has done, ] his own people, the Israelis, must now hate him very much. So he will have to [stay here and] serve me forever.”
アキシ、ダビデを信じていひけるは彼は其民イスラエルをして全くおのれを惡ましむされば永くわが僕となるべし
