サムエル記Ⅰ 27

1 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

And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.

2 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

And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

3 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

And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

4 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

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.

5 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

And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?

6 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

Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertains unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

7 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

And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

8 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

And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as you go to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.

9 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

And David stroke the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.

10 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

And Achish said, Where have all of you made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.

11 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

And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should inform against us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwells in the country of the Philistines.

12 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

And Achish believed David, saying, He has made his people Israel utterly to detest him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
