1 Samuel 31
1 Later, the Philistines again fought against the Israelis. The Israelis ran away from them, and (many Israelis were killed/the Philistines killed many Israelis) on Gilboa Mountain.
ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰ふイスラエルの人々ペリシテ人のまへより逃げ負傷者ギルボア山に斃れたり
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
ペリシテ人サウルと其子等に攻よりペリシテ人サウルの子ヨナタン、アビナダブおよびマルキシユアを殺したり
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul. When the Philistine (archers/men with bows and arrows) caught up with Saul, they wounded him badly [with their arrows].
戰はげしくサウルにせまりて射手の者サウルを射とめければ彼痛く射手の者のために苦しめり
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to thrust their swords into me and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified, and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. [The sword pierced his body and he died].
サウル武器を執る者にいひけるは爾の劍を抜き其をもて我を刺とほせ恐らくは是等の割禮なき者きたりて我を刺し我をはづかしめんと然ども武器をとるもの痛くおそれて肯ぜざればサウル劍をとりて其上に伏したり
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
武器を執るものサウルの死たるを見ておのれも劍の上にふしてかれとともに死り
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
かくサウルと其三人の子およびサウルの武器をとるもの並に其從者みな此日倶に死り
7 When the Israeli people on the north side of the [Jezreel] Valley and on the east side of the Jordan [River] heard that the Israeli army had run away and that Saul and his sons had died, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and occupied their towns.
イスラエルの人々の谷の對向にをるもの及びヨルダンの對面にをるものイスラエルの人々の逃るを見サウルと其子等の死るをみて諸邑を棄て逃ければペリシテ人きたりて其中にをる
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the bodies of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
明日ペリシテ人戰沒せる者を剥んとてきたりサウルと其三人の子のギルボア山にたふれをるを見たり
9 They cut off Saul’s head and took his weapons. Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news, in the temple where they kept their idols, and to the other people, [that their army had killed Saul].
彼等すなはちサウルの首を斬り其鎧甲をはぎとりペリシテ人の地の四方につかはして此好報を其偶像の家および民の中につげしむ
10 They put Saul’s weapons in the temple of [their goddess] Astarte. They also fastened the bodies of Saul [and his sons] to the wall [that surrounded] Beth-Shan [city].
またかれら其鎧甲をアシタロテの家におき其體をベテシヤンの城垣に釘けたり
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
ヤベシギレアデの人々ペリシテ人のサウルになしたる事を聞きしかば
12 all their bravest soldiers walked all night to Beth-Shan. They took the corpses of Saul and his sons down from the city wall, and they took them back to Jabesh and burned the corpses there.
勇士みなおこり終夜ゆきてサウルの體と其子等の體をベテシヤンの城垣よりとりおろしヤベシにいたりて之を其處に焚き
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
其骨をとりてヤベシの柳樹の下にはうむり七日のあひだ斷食せり
