サムエル記Ⅰ 30

1 ダビデと其從者第三日にチクラグにいたるにアマレク人すでに南の地とチクラグを侵したりかれらチクラグを撃ち火をもて之を燬き

And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

2 其中に居りし婦女を擄にし老たるをも若きをも一人も殺さずして之をひきて其途におもむけり

And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.

3 ダビデと其從者邑にいたりて視に邑は火に燬けその妻と男子女子は擄にせられたり

Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,

4 ダビデおよびこれとともにある民聲をあげて哭き終に哭く力もなきにいたれり

David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.

5 ダビデのふたり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も虜にせられたり

For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

6 時にダビデ大に心を苦めたり其は民おのおの其男子女子のために氣をいらだてダビデを石にて撃んといひたればなりされどダビデ其神ヱホバによりておのれをはげませり

And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.

7 ダビデ、アヒメレクの子祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは請ふエポデを我にもちきたれとアビヤタル、エポデをダビデにもちきたる

And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 ダビデ、ヱホバに問ていひけるは我此軍の後を追ふべきや我これに追つくことをえんかとヱホバかれにこたへたまはく追ふべし爾かならず追つきてたしかに取もどすことをえん

And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”

9 ダビデおよびこれとともなる六百人の者ゆきてベソル川にいたれり後にのこれる者はここにとどまる

Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.

10 即ちダビデ四百人をひきゐて追ゆきしが憊れてベソル川をわたることあたはざる者二百人はとどまれり

But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.

11 衆人野にて一人のエジプト人を見これをダビデにひききたりてこれに食物をあたへければ食へりまたこれに水をのませたり

And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,

12 すなはち一段の乾無花果と二球の乾葡萄をこれにあたへたり彼くらひて其氣ふたたび爽かになれりかれは三日三夜物をもくはず水をものまざりしなり

and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.

13 ダビデかれにいひけるは爾は誰の人なる爾はいづくの者なるやかれいひけるは我はエジプトの少者にて一人のアマレク人の僕なり三日まへに我疾にかかりしゆゑにわが主人我をすてたり

And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.

14 我らケレテ人の南とユダの地とカレブの南ををかしまた火をもてチクラグをやけり

For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”

15 ダビデかれにいひけるは爾我を此軍にみちびきくだるやかれいひけるは爾我をころさずまた我をわが主人の手にわたさざるを神をさして我に誓へ我爾を此軍にみちびきくだらん

And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.

16 かれダビデをみちびきくだりしが視よ彼等はペリシテ人の地とユダの地より奪ひたる諸の大なる掠取物のためによろこびて飮食し踊りつつ地にあまねく散ひろがりて居る

And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.

17 ダビデ暮あひより次日の晩にいたるまでかれらを撃しかば駱駝にのりて逃げたる四百人の少者の外は一人ものがれたるもの无りき

And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.

18 ダビデはすべてアマレク人の奪ひたる物を取りもどせり其二人の妻もダビデとりもどせり

Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.

19 小きも大なるも男子も女子も掠取物もすべてアマレク人の奪さりし物は一も失はずダビデことごとく取かへせり

And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.

20 ダビデまた凡の羊と牛をとれり人々この家畜をそのまへに驅きたり是はダビデの掠取物なりといへり

And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”

21 かくてダビデかの憊れてダビデにしたがひ得ずしてベソル川のほとりに止まりし二百人の者のところにいたるに彼らダビデをいでむかへまたダビデとともなる民をいでむかふダビデかの民にちかづきてその安否をたづぬ

Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.

22 ダビデとともにゆきし人々の中の惡く邪なる者みなこたへていひけるは彼等は我らとともにゆかざりければ我らこれに取りもどしたる掠取物をわけあたふべからず唯おのおのにその妻子をあたへてこれをみちびきさらしめん

And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”

23 ダビデ言けるはわが兄弟よヱホバ我らをまもり我らにせめきたりし軍を我らの手にわたしたまひたれば爾らヱホバのわれらにたまひし物をしかするは宜からず

But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.

24 誰か爾らにかかることをゆるさんや戰ひにくだりし者の取る分のごとく輜重のかたはらに止まりし者の取る分もまた然あるべし共にひとしく取るべし

And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”

25 この日よりのちダビデこれをイスラエルの法となし例となせり其事今日にいたる

And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.

26 ダビデ、チクラグにいたりて其掠取物をユダの長老なる其朋友にわかちおくりて曰しめけるは是はヱホバの敵よりとりて爾らにおくる饋物なり

Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”

27 ベテルにをるもの南のラモテにをるものヤツテルにをる者

to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,

28 アロエルにをる者シフモテにをるものエシテモにをるもの

and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,

29 ラカルにをるものヱラメル人の邑にをるものケニ人の邑にをるもの

and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,

30 ホルマにをるものコラシヤンにをるものアタクにをるもの

and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,

31 ヘブロンにをるものおよびすべてダビデが其從者とともに毎にゆきし所にこれをわかちおくれり

and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
