サムエル記Ⅰ 28
1 其頃ペリシテ人イスラエルと戰はんとて軍のために軍勢を集めたればアキシ、ダビデにいひけるは爾明かにこれをしれ爾と爾の從者我とともに出て軍にくははるべし
In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
2 ダビデ、アキシにいひけるはされば爾僕のなさんところをしるべしとアキシ、ダビデにさらば我爾を永く我身をまもる者となさんといへり
David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
3 サムエルすでに死たればイスラエルみなこれをかなしみてこれをそのまちラマにはうむれりまたサウルは口寄者と卜筮師を其地よりおひいだせり
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
4 ペリシテ人あつまりきたりてシユネムに陣をとりければサウル、イスラエルを悉くあつめてギルボアに陣をとれり
The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 サウル、ペリシテ人の軍を見しときおそれて其心大にふるへたり
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 サウル、ヱホバに問ひけるにヱホバ對たまはず夢に因てもウリムによりても預言者によりてもこたへたまはず
When Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
7 サウル僕等にいひけるは口寄の婦を求めよわれそのところにゆきてこれに尋ねんと僕等かれにいひけるは視よエンドルに口寄の婦あり
Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and enquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
8 サウル形を變へて他の衣服を著二人の人をともなひてゆき彼等夜の間に其婦の所にいたるサウルいひけるは請ふわがために口寄の術をおこなひてわが爾に言ふ人をわれに呼おこせ
Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
9 婦かれにいひけるはなんぢサウルのなしたる事すなはち如何にかれが口寄者と卜筮師を國より斷さりたるを知る爾なんぞ我を死しめんとてわが生命を亡す謀計をなすや
The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
10 サウル、ヱホバを指てかれに誓ひいひけるはヱホバは生く此事のためになんぢ罪にあふことあらじ
Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 婦いひけるは誰を我なんぢに呼起すべきかサウルいふサムエルをよびおこせ
Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
12 婦サムエルを見て大なる聲にてさけびいだせりしかして婦サウルにいひけるは爾なにゆゑに我を欺きしや爾はすなはちサウルなり
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
13 王かれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ爾なにを見しや婦サウルにいひけるは我神の地よりのぼるを見たり
The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
14 サウルかれにいひけるは其形容は如何彼いひけるは一人の老翁のぼる其人明衣を衣たりサウル其人のサムエルなるをしりて地にふして拝せり
He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
15 サムエル、サウルにいひけるは爾なんぞ我をよびおこして我をわづらはすやサウルこたへけるは我いたく惱むペリシテ人我にむかひて軍をおこし又神我をはなれて預言者によりても又夢によりてもふたたび我にこたへたまはずこのゆゑに我なすべき事を爾にまなばんとて爾を呼り
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
16 サムエルいひけるはヱホバ爾をはなれて爾の敵となりたまふに爾なんぞ我にとふや
Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?
17 ヱホバわれをもて語りたまひしことをみづから行ひてヱホバ國を爾の手より割きはなち爾の隣人ダビデにあたへたまふ
The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour, even to David.
18 爾ヱホバの言にしたがはず其烈しき怒をアマレクにもらさざりしによりてヱホバ此事を今日爾になしたまふ
Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.
19 ヱホバ、イスラエルをも爾とともにペリシテ人の手にわたしたまふべし明日爾と爾の子等我とともなるべしまたイスラエルの陣營をもヱホバ、ペリシテ人の手にわたしたまはんと
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 サウル直ちに地に伸びたふれサムエルの言のために痛くおそれ又其力を失へり其はかれ其一日一夜物食ざりければなり
Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
21 かの婦サウルにいたり其痛く慄くを見てこれにいひけるは視よ仕女爾の言をききわが生命をかけて爾が我にいひし言にしたがへり
The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
22 されば請ふ爾も仕女の言を聽て我をして一口のパンを爾のまへにそなへしめよしかして爾くらひて途に就く時に力を得よ
Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
23 されどサウル否みて我は食はじといひしを其僕および婦強ければ其言をききいれて地より立あがり床のうへに坐せり
But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
24 婦の家に肥たる犢ありしかば急ぎて之を殺しまた粉をとり摶て酵いれぬパンを炊き
The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
25 サウルのまへと其僕等のまへに持ちきたりければ彼等くらひて立ちあがり其夜のうちにされり
She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
