サムエル記Ⅰ 24
1 サウル、ペリシテ人を追ふことをやめて還りし時人々かれにつげていひけるは視よダビデはエンゲデの野にありと
When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
2 サウル、イスラエルの中より選みたる三千の人を率ゐゆきて野羊の巌にダビデと其從者を尋ぬ
Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
3 途にて羊の棧にいたるに其處に洞穴ありサウル其足を掩んとていりぬ時にダビデと其從者洞の隅に居たり
And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
4 ダビデの從者これにいひけるはヱホバが汝に告て視よ我汝の敵を汝の手にわたし汝をして善と見るところを彼になさしめんといひたまひし日は今なりとダビデすなはち起てひそかにサウルの衣の裾をきれり
And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
5 ダビデ、サウルの衣の裾をきりしによりて後ち其心みづから責む
And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
6 ダビデ其從者にいひけるはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なるわが主にわが此事をなすをヱホバ禁じたまふかれはヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればかれに敵してわが手をのぶるは善らず
And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
7 ダビデ此ことばをもって其從者を止めサウルに撃ちかかる事を容さずサウルたちて洞を出て其道にゆく
So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
8 ダビデもまた後よりたちて洞をいでサウルのうしろに呼はりて我主王よといふサウル後をかへりみる時ダビデ地にふして拝す
Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
9 ダビデ、サウルにいひけるは汝なんぞダビデ汝を害せん事を求むといふ人の言を聽くや
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
10 視よ今日汝の目ヱホバの汝を洞のうちにて今日わが手にわたしたまひしことを見たり人々我に汝をころさんことを勸めたれども我汝を惜めり我いひけらくわが主はヱホバの膏そそぎし者なればこれに敵してわが手をのぶべからずと
Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
11 わが父よ視よわが手にある汝の衣の裾を見よわが汝の衣の裾をきりて汝を殺さざるを見ばわが手には惡も罪過もなきことを汝見て知るべし我汝に罪ををかせしことなし然るに汝わが生命をとらんとねらふ
Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
12 ヱホバ我と汝の間を審きたまはんヱホバわがために汝に報いたまふべし然どわが手は汝に加へざるべし
The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
13 古への諺にいふごとく惡は惡人よりいづされどわが手は汝にくはへざるべし
According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
14 イスラエルの王は誰を趕んとて出たるや汝たれを追ふや死たる犬をおひ一の蚤をおふなり
After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
15 ねがはくはヱホバ審判者となりて我と汝のあひだをさばきかつ見てわが訟を理し我を汝の手よりすくひいだしたまはんことを
The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
16 ダビデこれらの言をサウルに語りをへしときサウルいひけるはわが子ダビデよ是は汝の聲なるかとサウル聲をあげて哭きぬ
Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
17 しかしてダビデにいひけるは汝は我よりも正し我は汝に惡をむくゆるに汝は我に善をむくゆ
And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
18 汝今日いかに汝が我に善くなすかを明かにせりヱホバ我を爾の手にわたしたまひしに爾我をころさざりしなり
And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
19 人もし其敵にあはばこれを安らかに去しむべけんや爾が今日我になしたる事のためにヱホバ爾に善をむくいたまふべし
For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
20 視よ我爾が必ず王とならんことを知りまたイスラエルの王國の爾の手によりて堅くたたんことをしる
For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
21 今爾ヱホバをさして我にわが後にてわが子孫を斷ずわが名をわが父の家に滅せざらんことを誓へと
Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
22 ダビデすなはちサウルにちかふ是においてサウルは家にかへりダビデと其從者は要害にのぼれり
So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
