< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 David therefore departed from there and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
是故にダビデ其處をいでたちてアドラムの洞穴にのがる其兄弟および父の家みな聞きおよびて彼處にくだり彼の許に至る
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.
また惱める人負債者心に嫌ぬ者皆かれの許にあつまりて彼其長となれりかれとともにある者はおよそ四百人なり
3 David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out to you, until I know what God will do for me.”
ダビデ其處よりモアブのミヅパにいたりモアブの王にいひけるは神の我をいかがなしたまふかを知るまでねがはくはわが父母をして出て汝らとともにをらしめよと
4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
遂にかれらをモアブの王のまへにつれきたるかれらはダビデが要害にをる間王とともにありき
5 The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
預言者ガデ、ダビデに云けるは要害に住るなかれゆきてユダの地にいたれとダビデゆきてハレテの叢林にいたる
6 Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
爰にサウル、ダビデおよびかれとともなる人々の見露されしを聞けり時にサウルはギベアにあり手に槍を執て岡巒の柳の樹の下にをり臣僕ども皆其傍にたてり
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
サウル側にたてる僕にいひけるは汝らベニヤミン人聞けよヱサイの子汝らおのおのに田と葡萄園をあたへ汝らおのおのを千夫長百夫長となすことあらんや
8 Is that why all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
汝ら皆我に敵して謀り一人もわが子のヱサイの子と契約を結びしを我につげしらする者なしまた汝ら一人もわがために憂へずわが子が今日のごとくわが僕をはげまして道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするを我につげしらす者なし
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
時にエドミ人ドエグ、サウルの僕の中にたち居りしが答へていひけるは我ヱサイの子のノブにゆきてアヒトブの子アヒメレクに至るを見しが
10 He enquired of the LORD for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
アヒメレクかれのためにヱホバに問ひまたかれに食物をあたへペリシテ人ゴリアテの劍をあたへたりと
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
王すなはち人をつかはしてアヒトブの子祭司アヒメレクなよびその父の家すなはちノブの祭司たる人々を召したればみな王の許にきたる
12 Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
サウルいひけるは汝アヒトブの子聽よ答へけるは主よ我ここにあり
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
サウルかれにいふ汝なんぞヱサイの子とともに我に敵して謀り汝かれにパンと劍をあたへ彼が爲に神に問ひかれをして今日のごとく道に伏て我をおそはしめんとするや
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who amongst all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honoured in your house?
アヒメレク王にこたへていひけるは汝の臣僕のうち誰かダビデのごとく忠義なる彼は王の婿にして親しく汝に見ゆるもの汝の家に尊まるる者にあらずや
15 Have I today begun to enquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”
我其時かれのために神に問ことを始めしや決てしからずねがはくは王僕およびわが父の全家に何をも歸するなかれ其は僕この事については多少をいはず何をもしらざればなり
16 The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.”
王いひけるはアヒメレク汝必ず死ぬべし汝の父の全家もしかりと
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
王旁にたてる前驅の人々にいひけるは身をひるがへしてヱホバの祭司を殺せかれらもダビデと力を合するが故またかれらダビデの逃たるをしりて我に告ざりし故なりと然ど王の僕手をいだしてヱホバの祭司を撃ことを好まざれば
18 The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
王ドエグにいふ汝身をひるがへして祭司をころせとエドミ人ドエグ乃ち身をひるがへして祭司をうち其日布のエポデを衣たる者八十五人をころせり
19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword—both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle, donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
かれまた刃を以て祭司の邑ノブを撃ち刃をもて男女童稚嬰孩牛驢馬羊を殺せり
20 One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
アヒトブの子アヒメレクの一人の子アビヤタルとなづくる者逃れてダビデにはしり從がふ
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD’s priests.
アビヤタル、サウルがヱホバの祭司を殺したることをダビデに告しかば
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
ダビデ、アビヤタルにいふかの日エドミ人ドエグ彼處にをりしかば我かれが必らずサウルにつげんことを知れり我汝の父の家の人々の生命を喪へる源由となれり
23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. You will be safe with me.”
汝我とともに居れ懼るるなかれわが生命を求むる者汝の生命をも求むるなり汝我とともにあらば安全なるべし
