1 Samuel 29
1 The Philistia army gathered at Aphek [Valley, which is near Shunem]. The Israelis set up their tents at Jezreel [city, which was in the same valley].
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
2 The kings of Philistia divided their men into groups; some groups had 100 soldiers and some groups had 1,000 soldiers. David and his men were marching behind, with King Achish.
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
3 But the Philistia commanders asked, “What are these Hebrews [doing here, marching with us to battle]?” Achish replied, “[Their leader is] David. [He] previously worked for King Saul of Israel, but now he has been living near me for more than a year. During all the time since he left Saul, I have not seen/found that he has any faults.”
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
4 But the Philistia army commanders were angry with Achish [for allowing David’s army to be going with them]. They said to him, “Send David [and his men] back to the city that you gave to him! We do not want him to go with us into the battle. [If he goes with us, ] we will have an enemy in our own midst! He would please King Saul by killing our own soldiers [RHQ]!
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
5 [Have you forgotten that] David is the one about whom the Israelis dance and sing, saying, ‘Saul has killed 1000 of our enemies, but David has killed 10,000 of them!’?”
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
6 So Achish summoned David, and said to him, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you have been loyal to me. I would like very much for you to fight along with my army. Since the day that you came to me, I have not found/seen that you have any faults. But the other Philistia rulers do not trust you.
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
7 So all of you go back home, and I hope/desire that things will go well for you. I do not want you(sg) to do anything that the other rulers of Philistia will not be pleased with.”
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
8 David replied, “What wrong have I done? Since the day that I first came to you until today, have I done anything that you think is evil? Your majesty, why will you not allow me to go and fight against your enemies?”
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
9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as just as good as an angel from God. But the commanders of my army have said, ‘We will not allow David [and his men] to go with us into the battle.’
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
10 So early tomorrow morning you and your men must leave. Get up as soon as it is light and leave.”
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
11 So David and his men got up early the following morning and returned to the area where the Philistia people lived. And the Philistia army went up to Jezreel.
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
