サムエル記Ⅰ 22
1 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
David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
2 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
Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 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
David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until I know what God will do for me."
4 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
He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 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
The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 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
Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 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
And he said to them, "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,
8 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
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant 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 at this day?"
9 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
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.
10 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
He inquired of God for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
11 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
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 came all of them to the king.
12 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
Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
13 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
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 inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
14 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
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
15 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
Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."
16 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
The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
17 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
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 did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
18 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
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.
19 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
He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
20 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
One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 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
Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
22 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
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 all the lives of your father's house.
23 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
Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
