サムエル記Ⅰ 29
1 爰にペリシテ人其軍をことごとくアペクにあつむイスラエルはヱズレルにある泉水の傍に陣をとる
Then all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together at Aphek. But Israel also made camp, above the spring which is in Jezreel.
2 ペリシテ人の君等あるひは百人或は千人をひきゐて進みダビデと其從者はアキシとともに其後にすすむ
And indeed, the princes of the Philistines advanced by hundreds and by thousands; but David and his men were in the rear with Achish.
3 ペリシテ人の諸伯いひけるは是等のヘブル人は何なるやアキシ、ペリシテ人の諸伯にいひけるは此はイスラエルの王サウルの僕ダビデにあらずやかれ此日ごろ此年ごろ我とともにをりしがその逃げおちし日より今日にいたるまで我かれの身に咎あるを見ずと
And the leaders of the Philistines said to Achish, “What do these Hebrews intend to do?” And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines: “Could you be ignorant about David, who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and who has been with me for many days, even years, and I have not found within him anything, from the day that he fled to me, even to this day?”
4 ペリシテ人の諸伯これを怒る即ちペリシテ人の諸伯彼にいひけるは此人をかへらしめて爾が之をおきし其所にふたたびいたらしめよ彼は我らとともに戰ひにくだるべからず然ば彼戰爭においてわれらの敵とならざるべしかれ其主と和がんとせば何をもてすべきやこの人々の首級をもてすべきにあらずや
Then the leaders of the Philistines became angry against him, and they said to him: “Let this man return, and let him settle in his place, which you appointed for him. But let him not descend with us to battle, lest he become an adversary to us when we begin to fight. For in what other way will he be able to please his lord, except with our heads?
5 是はかつて人々が舞踏の中にて歌ひあひサウルは千をうちころしダビデは萬をうちころすといひたるダビデにあらずや
Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’”
6 アキシ、ダビデをよびてこれにいひけるはヱホバは生くまことになんぢは正し爾の我とともに陣營に出入するはわが目には善と見ゆ其は爾が我に來りし日より今日にいたるまで我爾の身に惡き事あるを見ざればなり然ど諸伯の目には爾よからず
Therefore, Achish called David, and he said to him: “As the Lord lives, you are good and righteous in my sight, even in your departure and your return with me in the military camp. And I have not found anything evil in you, from the day that you came to me, even to this day. But you are not pleasing to the princes.
7 されば今かへりて安かにゆきペリシテ人の諸伯の目に惡く見ゆることをなすなかれ
Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
8 ダビデ、アキシにいひけるは我何をなせしやわが爾のまへに出し日より今日までに爾何を僕の身に見たればか我ゆきてわが主なるわうの敵とたたかふことをえざると
And David said to Achish, “But what have I done, or what have you found in me, your servant, from the day that I was in your sight to this day, so that I may not go out and fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?”
9 アキシこたへてダビデにいひけるは我爾のわが目には神の使のごとく善きをしるされどペリシテ人の諸伯かれは我らとともに戰ひにのぼるべからずといへり
And in response, Achish said to David: “I know that you are good in my sight, like an angel of God. But the leaders of the Philistines have said: ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 されば爾および爾の主の僕の爾とともにきたれる者明朝夙く起よ爾ら朝はやくおきて夜のあくるに及ばばさるべし
And so, rise up in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. And when you have risen up in the night, as it begins to be light, go forth.”
11 是をもてダビデと其從者ペリシテ人の地にかへらんと朝はやく起てされりしかしてペリシテ人はヱズレルにのぼれり
And so David rose up in the night, he and his men, so that they might set out in the morning. And they returned to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines ascended to Jezreel.
