1三日目に、ダビデとその人々がツィクラグに来た時、アマレク人は南とツィクラグに襲撃をかけていた。彼らはツィクラグを打ち、火で燃やし、
1Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.
2その中にいた女たちと、小さい者から大きい者まで、すべての人を捕虜にしていた。彼らは一人も殺さず、人々を連れ去って自分たちの道を行っていた。
2And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
3ダビデとその人々が町に来ると、見よ、町は火で燃やされ、彼らの妻、息子、娘たちは捕虜となっていた。
3So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
4そこでダビデと彼とともにいた民は、もはや泣く力がなくなるまで声を上げて泣いた。
4David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
5ダビデの二人の妻、エズレル人アヒノアムと、カルメル人ナバルの妻であったアビガイルも捕虜となっていた。
5For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
6民が皆、それぞれ自分の息子と娘のことで悲しみに苦しみ、ダビデを石で打とうと言ったため、ダビデは非常に苦しんだ。しかしダビデは、彼の神、主にあって自らを強めた。
6And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
7ダビデはアヒメレクの子である祭司アビアタルに言った。「どうか、エポデをわたしのところに持って来てください。」アビアタルはエポデをダビデのところに持って来た。
7And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8ダビデは主に尋ねて言った。「わたしはこの略奪隊を追撃すべきでしょうか。彼らに追いつけるでしょうか。」 主は彼に答えられた。「追撃せよ。あなたは必ず彼らに追いつき、間違いなくすべてを取り戻す。」
8And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
9そこでダビデは、彼とともにいた六百人とともに出発し、ベソル川に来た。疲れて後に残った者たちは、そこにとどまった。
9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
10しかしダビデは、彼と四百人で追撃を続けた。二百人は、疲れ果ててベソル川を渡ることができず、後に留まったからである。
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
11彼らは野で一人のエジプト人を見つけ、彼をダビデのところに連れて来た。彼らがパンを与えると、彼は食べ、彼らは彼に水を飲ませた。
11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
12また、いちじくの菓子の一切れと、干しぶどう二房を与えた。彼がそれを食べると、彼は元気を取り戻した。彼は三日三晩、パンも食べず、水も飲んでいなかったからである。
12As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.
13ダビデは彼に言った。「あなたはだれのものか。どこから来たのか。」 彼は言った。「わたしはエジプト人の若者で、アマレク人の奴隷です。三日前に病気になったため、主人はわたしを置き去りにしました。
13And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
14私たちはケレテ人の南と、ユダに属する地と、カレブの南に襲撃をかけ、ツィクラグを火で燃やしました。」
14For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.
15ダビデは彼に言った。「わたしをその略奪隊のところへ連れて下ってくれるか。」 彼は言った。「わたしを殺さず、また主人の手に引き渡さないと、神にかけてわたしに誓ってください。そうすれば、あなたをこの略奪隊のところへ連れて下りましょう。」
15And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
16彼がダビデを連れて下ると、見よ、彼らは地一面に広がって、飲み食いし、踊っていた。ペリシテ人の地とユダの地から奪い取った非常に多くの分捕り品のためであった。
16And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
17ダビデは夕暮れから翌日の夕方まで彼らを打った。彼らのうち、らくだに乗って逃げた四百人の若者たちのほかには、一人も逃れなかった。
17And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
18ダビデはアマレク人が奪い去ったすべてのものを取り戻した。ダビデは二人の妻も救い出した。
18So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
19小さい者から大きい者まで、息子も娘も、分捕り品も、彼らが奪い去ったものも、何一つ欠けるものはなかった。ダビデはすべてを取り戻した。
19And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
20ダビデはすべての羊と牛を取った。人々はそれらの家畜をほかの家畜の前で追い立て、「これはダビデの分捕り品だ」と言った。
20And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
21ダビデは、疲れ果ててダビデについて行くことができず、ベソル川に留まらせておいた二百人のところに来た。彼らはダビデを迎え、また彼とともにいる民を迎えるために出て来た。ダビデが彼らに近づくと、彼らに挨拶した。
21And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
22すると、ダビデとともに行った者たちのうちの悪意あるならず者たちが答えた。「彼らは私たちとともに行かなかったのだから、私たちが取り戻した分捕り品は彼らに与えない。ただ、それぞれが自分の妻と子どもたちを連れて去るのはよい。」
22Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
23しかしダビデは言った。「わたしの兄弟たちよ、主が私たちに与えてくださったものについて、あなたがたはそのようにしてはならない。主は私たちを守り、私たちに向かって来た略奪隊を私たちの手に渡されたのだ。
23But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
24この事について、だれがあなたがたの言うことに聞き従うだろうか。戦いに下って行った者の分は、荷物のそばに留まった者の分と同じである。彼らは同じように分け合わなければならない。」
24And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
25その日以来、ダビデはそれをイスラエルのための掟と定めとしたので、今日に至るまでそうなっている。
25And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
26ダビデはツィクラグに来ると、分捕り品の一部を彼の友人であるユダの長老たちに送って言った。「見よ、主の敵からの分捕り品の一部を、あなたがたへの贈り物とします。」
26Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
27それは、ベテルにいる人々、南のラモテにいる人々、ヤティルにいる人々、
27To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
28アロエルにいる人々、シフモテにいる人々、エシュテモアにいる人々、
28And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
29ラカルにいる人々、エラフメル人の町々にいる人々、ケニ人の町々にいる人々、
29And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
30ホルマにいる人々、ボラシャンにいる人々、アタクにいる人々、
30And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
31ヘブロンにいる人々、そしてダビデとその人々がかつて留まっていたすべての場所にいる人々に送られた。
31And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
