アドラムとミツパにて
22 ダビデはガテを去り、アドラムのほら穴へ逃げ延びました。そうこうするうち、そこに兄弟や身内の者が、しだいに集まって来たのです。 2 そのほか、問題や借金をかかえた者、不満を持つ者などが集まって来たので、たちまちダビデの周囲には、四百人ほどの集団ができました。 3 ダビデはこのあとモアブのミツパへ行き、モアブ王に、事態がはっきりするまで両親を保護してもらえないかと頼みました。 4 それでダビデの両親は、ダビデがほら穴に立てこもっている間、ずっとモアブ王のもとにいました。
ノブの祭司たちを殺すサウル
5 ある日のこと、預言者ガドがダビデに、ほら穴を出てユダの地に帰るようにと言ったので、ダビデはハレテの森へ移りました。 6 ダビデがユダに戻ったという知らせは、やがてサウル王の耳に届きました。ちょうどその時、サウルはギブアの柳の木の下で、槍を手にして座っていたところでした。彼の回りには家臣たちが並んでいました。 7 その知らせを聞いた時、王は声を上ずらせて言いました。「ベニヤミンの者たちよ、よく聞け！ ダビデはおまえたちに畑やぶどう畑をくれたか。軍の指揮官に取り立ててやるとでも約束したか。 8 それなのにどうして、おまえたちは私を欺いたのだ。だれ一人、私の息子ヨナタンがダビデに通じていることを話してくれなかったではないか。私のために悲しんでくれる者もいない。考えてもみろ。息子が、ダビデが私を殺しに来るのを助けているのだ。」
9-10 その時、家臣の中に同席していたエドム人ドエグが口を開きました。「私がノブにおりました時、ダビデが祭司アヒメレクと話しているのを見かけました。アヒメレクは、ダビデのために主にお伺いを立て、そのうえ、パンとペリシテ人ゴリヤテの剣を与えたのでございます。」
11-12 王は、直ちにアヒメレクとその全家族、それにノブにいる祭司全員を呼び寄せました。一同がそろうと、激しい口調でアヒメレクを責めました。「よく聞け、アヒトブの息子！」
「何でございましょう。」
アヒメレクはびくびくしながら答えました。
13 「おまえはダビデと組んで、この私に盾つく気か。どうしてダビデにパンと剣を与えたり、神に伺いを立ててやったりしたのだ。あいつをたきつけて謀反を起こさせ、私を攻めさせるつもりだったのだな。」
14 「とんでもないことです。あなたのご家来方の中でも、婿殿ダビデ様ほど忠義なお方はほかにおられません。ダビデ様はあなたの護衛隊長であり、王室で最も尊敬を集めているお方ではございませんか。 15 私があの方のために神に伺いを立てましたのも、今に始まったことではありません。このことで、私や一族の者が責めを受けるのは合点がまいりません。あなたに対する陰謀などとは全く寝耳に水です。」
16 「アヒメレクめ、一族もろとも、いのちはないものと思え！」 17 そう言うと、王は護衛兵に命じました。「祭司どもを死罪にせよ！ 彼らはダビデと共謀したのだ。ダビデが私のもとから逃げ出したのを知りながら、知らせて来ようともしなかったのだ。」
しかし護衛兵は、祭司を手にかけるのが怖くて、命令を聞きません。 18 それで王はドエグに、「おまえがやれ」と命じました。ドエグは彼らに飛びかかり、全部で八十五人の祭司を血祭りに上げました。全員、祭司の服を着たままでした。 19 次にドエグは、祭司の町ノブへ行き、殺された祭司の家族を、男も女も、子どもも赤ん坊も、牛もろばも羊までも、残らず殺してしまいました。
20 ところが、アヒメレクの息子エブヤタルだけは難を免れて、ダビデのもとに逃げ延びたのです。 21 エブヤタルは、王のしたことをダビデに告げました。 22 ダビデは悲痛な声で言いました。「そうでしたか。あそこでドエグを見かけた時、彼は王に告げ口するだろうとにらんでいたのです。それにしても、私がご一族の死を招いたようなものです。 23 どうか、ここでいっしょに暮らしてください。いのちに代えてもお守りします。あなたに降りかかる危害は、わが身に降りかかったも同然ですから。」

David at Adullam and Mizpah
22 David left Gath and escaped to the cave(A) of Adullam.(B) When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. 2 All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered(C) around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.
3 From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?” 4 So he left them with the king of Moab,(D) and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.
5 But the prophet Gad(E) said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.(F)
Saul Kills the Priests of Nob
6 Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul was seated,(G) spear in hand, under the tamarisk(H) tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing at his side. 7 He said to them, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders(I) of thousands and commanders of hundreds? 8 Is that why you have all conspired(J) against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant(K) with the son of Jesse.(L) None of you is concerned(M) about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
9 But Doeg(N) the Edomite, who was standing with Saul’s officials, said, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub(O) at Nob.(P) 10 Ahimelek inquired(Q) of the Lord for him; he also gave him provisions(R) and the sword(S) of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king. 12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.”
“Yes, my lord,” he answered.
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired(T) against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so that he has rebelled against me and lies in wait for me, as he does today?”
14 Ahimelek answered the king, “Who(U) of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household? 15 Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”
16 But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family.(V)”
17 Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.”
But the king’s officials were unwilling(W) to raise a hand to strike the priests of the Lord.
18 The king then ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests.”(X) So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.(Y) 19 He also put to the sword(Z) Nob,(AA) the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep.
20 But one son of Ahimelek son of Ahitub,(AB) named Abiathar,(AC) escaped and fled to join David.(AD) 21 He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord. 22 Then David said to Abiathar, “That day, when Doeg(AE) the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your whole family. 23 Stay with me; don’t be afraid. The man who wants to kill you(AF) is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me.”
1 Samuel 22
King James Version
1 Samuel 22
King James Version
22 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
8 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 And he enquired of the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
15 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the Lord's priests.
22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.

17 ああ主よ、お願いです。どうかお助けください。
私はまっすぐに生き、正しいことをしてきました。
ですから、どうしても、
この切なる叫びを聞いていただきたいのです。
2 主よ、人々の前で私の嫌疑を晴らしてください。
神はいつも公平なお方です。
3 神は私を調べて、
正しいことを確認してくださいました。
神は夜中に来られましたが、
不正は何一つ見いださず、
私が真実を語ってきたことを認められました。
4 私はご指示に従い、
残忍な悪者とは行動を共にしませんでした。
5 私の足は、神の道から
一歩もすべり落ちることがありませんでした。
6 なぜ、私はこのように祈っているのでしょう。
お答えが頂けると信じているからです。
ああ神よ、どうかこの祈りを聞いてください。
7 ああ、敵から助け出されたいと願う者すべてにとって
救い主である方よ。
その大いなる愛を、目をみはるほどに見せてください。
8 私をご自身のひとみを守るように守り、
御翼の陰にかくまってください。
9 敵は殺意を抱いて私を取り囲んでいます。
10 情け知らずで、横柄な者たちです。
自慢げに語る彼らの声を聞いてください。
11 彼らは私を追いつめ、
今にも地面に投げつけようとしています。
12 ライオンのように私を引き裂こうと目を光らせ、
若いライオンのようにチャンスをうかがって
待ち伏せしています。
13-14 主よ、立ち上がり、戦ってください。
彼らを追い返してください。
早く来てくださり、地上の利得しか考えていない
この世の人々から私を救ってください。
神は彼らの家をご自身の宝で満たされたので、
彼らの子も孫も裕福になりました。
15 しかし、私の関心は富にはなく、
私が神を見ているかどうか、
また、神と正しい関係にあるかどうかにあります。
私は天で目覚めるとき、
この上ない満足感にひたるでしょう。
神の御顔をじかに見るからです。

Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
1 Hear me,(A) Lord, my plea is just;
listen to my cry.(B)
Hear(C) my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.(D)
2 Let my vindication(E) come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.(F)
3 Though you probe my heart,(G)
though you examine me at night and test me,(H)
you will find that I have planned no evil;(I)
my mouth has not transgressed.(J)
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;(K)
my feet have not stumbled.(L)
6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;(M)
turn your ear to me(N) and hear my prayer.(O)
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,(P)
you who save by your right hand(Q)
those who take refuge(R) in you from their foes.
8 Keep me(S) as the apple of your eye;(T)
hide me(U) in the shadow of your wings(V)
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.(W)
10 They close up their callous hearts,(X)
and their mouths speak with arrogance.(Y)
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,(Z)
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion(AA) hungry for prey,(AB)
like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
13 Rise up,(AC) Lord, confront them, bring them down;(AD)
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world(AE) whose reward is in this life.(AF)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers(AG) for their little ones.
Psalm 17

Psalm 17
King James Version
17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

35 ああ主よ、私に立ち向かう者に立ち向かい、
私を攻撃する者と戦ってください。
2 よろいをまとい、盾を取り、
私の前に立ちはだかって守ってください。
3 槍を高く振りかざしてください。
追っ手がすぐそこまで迫っていますから。
決して敵の手に渡しはしないとおっしゃってください。
4 私のいのちをつけねらう連中をなぎ倒し、
恥を見せてやってください。
5 主の使いの起こす風で、
彼らをもみがらのように吹き飛ばしてください。
6 主の使いに追い立てられた者たちの
逃げ道をすべりやすくし、暗闇で閉ざしてください。
7 彼らは無実の私にぬれぎぬを着せようと、
罠をしかけ、落とし穴を掘ったのですから。
8 どうか、自らしかけた網にかかり、
たちまち滅んでしまいますように。
9 しかし、私は、主が助けてくださると信じて
喜んでいます。
10 心の底から、神への賛美が込み上げてきます。
天にも地にも、主のようなお方はありません。
いったいだれが、身寄りのない弱い者を強い者から守り、
貧しい者を強盗から救い出してくれるでしょうか。
11 これらの悪者どもは、宣誓したその舌で
うその証言をします。
身に覚えのないことで私を告訴します。
12 良いことをしてやっても、悪でそれに報いるのです。
私はもう力尽きてくずおれそうです。
13 彼らが病気の時、
私は彼らを治してやってくださいと
神に泣いてすがりました。
そのために食を断ち、ひたすら祈り続けました。
しかし、神はお聞き入れになりませんでした。
14 私はまるで、
親兄弟や友人が危篤ででもあるかのように、
悲しみに暮れました。
15 ところが、いざ私が困難にぶつかると、
彼らは手を打って喜び、
ひとつになって押しかけて来ては、
絶えず中傷するのです。
中には、私の知らない顔もありました。
16 私をのろわせるのに、
町のならず者まで駆り集めていたからです。
17 主よ、いつまで何もせずに、
立ちつくしていらっしゃるのですか。
どうか助け出してください。
若いライオンが牙をむいて、
私のただ一つのいのちをねらっています。
18 お救いください。
そうすれば、私は強い人々の群れをもものともせず、
感謝の祈りをささげます。
19 理由もなく私を憎む者どもに、
勝ち誇らせないでください。
私が倒れるのを見て、彼らが手をたたくなど、
あってよいものでしょうか。
彼らにこそ、死がふさわしいのです。
20 平和や良い行いについては口をつぐむ彼らも、
善良な市民を陥れる悪だくみとなると、
とたんに能弁になります。
21 彼らは、
この私が悪事を働く現場を目撃したと叫びます。
「確かにこの目で、あいつが悪いことをするのを見た」と
はやし立てます。
22 主よ、あなたはすべてをご存じです。
貝のように口をつぐんで、
私を見捨てることがないようにしてください。
23 ああ主よ、今こそこの身の疑いを晴らしてください。
24 正義の神よ、どうか私の無実を宣告してください。
悩む私の姿を見て、
彼らが喜ぶことのないようにしてください。
25 「全く思いどおりに事が運んだ。
ついに、あいつもおしまいだ」と言って、
喜ぶことがないようにしてください。
26 彼らこそ恥を見ますように。
人の苦しみを喜ぶ者こそ、不幸に見舞われ、
すべてを失いますように。
あらゆるものを取り去って、恥をかかせてください。
27 しかし、私の幸せを願ってくれる者には、
大きな喜びをお与えください。
そして、こう叫ばせてください。
「信じる者を喜んで助けてくださる主はすばらしい。」
28 神がどれほど偉大で正しいお方か、
私は会う人ごとに語りましょう。
一日中、神をほめたたえて過ごしましょう。

Psalm 35
Of David.
1 Contend,(A) Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight(B) against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield(C) and armor;
arise(D) and come to my aid.(E)
3 Brandish spear(F) and javelin[a](G)
against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
“I am your salvation.(H)”
4 May those who seek my life(I)
be disgraced(J) and put to shame;(K)
may those who plot my ruin
be turned back(L) in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff(M) before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord(N) driving them away;
6 may their path be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net(O) for me without cause(P)
and without cause dug a pit(Q) for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—(R)
may the net they hid entangle them,
may they fall into the pit,(S) to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice(T) in the Lord
and delight in his salvation.(U)
10 My whole being will exclaim,
“Who is like you,(V) Lord?
You rescue the poor from those too strong(W) for them,
the poor and needy(X) from those who rob them.”
11 Ruthless witnesses(Y) come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good(Z)
and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth(AA)
and humbled myself with fasting.(AB)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning(AC)
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;(AD)
assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
They slandered(AE) me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[b](AF)
they gnashed their teeth(AG) at me.
17 How long,(AH) Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my precious life(AI) from these lions.(AJ)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(AK)
among the throngs(AL) I will praise you.(AM)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies(AN) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(AO)
maliciously wink the eye.(AP)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations(AQ)
against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer(AR) at me and say, “Aha! Aha!(AS)
With our own eyes we have seen it.”
22 Lord, you have seen(AT) this; do not be silent.
Do not be far(AU) from me, Lord.
23 Awake,(AV) and rise(AW) to my defense!
Contend(AX) for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
do not let them gloat(AY) over me.
25 Do not let them think, “Aha,(AZ) just what we wanted!”
or say, “We have swallowed him up.”(BA)
26 May all who gloat(BB) over my distress(BC)
be put to shame(BD) and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me(BE)
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication(BF)
shout for joy(BG) and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
who delights(BH) in the well-being of his servant.”(BI)

King James Version
Psalm 35
King James Version
35 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

6 人にほめられようと、人前で善行を見せびらかさないようにしなさい。そんなことをすれば、天の父から報いをいただけません。 2 貧しい人にお金や物を恵む時には、偽善者たちのように、そのことを大声で宣伝してはいけません。彼らは人目につくように、会堂や街頭で大げさに慈善行為をします。いいですか、よく言っておきますが、そういう人たちは、もうそれで、報いは受けているのです。 3 ですから、人に親切にする時は、右手が何をしているのか左手でさえ気づかないくらいに、こっそりとしなさい。 4 そうすれば、隠れたことはどんな小さなことでもご存じの天の父から、必ず報いがいただけます。
神に聞かれる祈り
5 ここで、祈りについて注意しておきましょう。人の見ている大通りや会堂で、さも信心深そうに祈って見せる偽善者のように祈ってはいけません。よく言っておきますが、そういう人たちは、もうそれで、報いを受けてしまったのです。 6 祈る時には、一人で部屋に閉じこもり、父なる神に祈りなさい。隠れたことはどんな小さなことでもご存じのあなたの父から、必ず報いがいただけます。
7 ほんとうの神を知らない人たちのように、同じ文句を何度も唱えてはいけません。彼らは、同じ文句をくり返しさえすれば、祈りが聞かれると思っているのです。
8 父なる神は、あなたがたに何が必要かを、あなたがたが祈る前からすでに、ご存じなのです。
9 ですから、こう祈りなさい。
『天におられるお父様。
あなたのきよい御名があがめられますように。
10 あなたの御国が来ますように。
天の御国でと同じように、この地上でも、
あなたの御心が行われますように。
11 私たちに必要な日々の食物を、
今日もお与えください。
12 私たちの罪をお赦しください。
私たちも、私たちに罪を犯す者を赦しました。
13 私たちを誘惑に会わせないように守り、
悪から救い出してください。アーメン。』
14 もしあなたがたが、自分に対して罪を犯した人を赦すなら、天の父も、あなたがたを赦してくださいます。
15 しかし、あなたがたが赦さないなら、天の父も、あなたがたを赦してくださいません。
16 次に断食についてですが、偽善者たちのような、人目につくやり方は避けなさい。彼らは、やつれた顔をわざと見せつけ、同情を買おうとします。よく言っておきますが、そういう人たちは、もうそれで、報いを受け取ってしまったのです。 17 断食をする時は、むしろ晴着をまといなさい。 18 そうすれば、だれもあなたが断食をしているとは気づかないでしょう。しかし、あなたの父は、どんなことでもご存じです。そして、報いてくださるのです。
19 財産を、この地上にたくわえてはいけません。地上では、損なわれたり、盗まれたりするからです。 20 財産は天にたくわえなさい。そこでは価値を失うこともないし、盗まれる心配もありません。 21 あなたの財産が天にあるなら、あなたの心もまた天にあるのです。
22 目が澄みきっているなら、あなたのたましいも輝いているはずです。 23 しかし、目が悪い考えや欲望でくもっているなら、あなたのたましいは暗闇の中にいるのです。その暗闇のなんと深いことでしょうか。
24 だれも、神とお金の両方に仕えることはできません。必ずどちらか一方を憎んで、他方を愛するからです。
25 ですから、食べ物や飲み物、着る物のことで心配してはいけません。いのちのほうが、何を食べ、何を着るかということより、ずっと大事です。 26 空の鳥を見なさい。食べ物の心配をしていますか。種をまいたり、刈り取ったり、倉庫にため込んだりしていますか。そんなことをしなくても、天の父は鳥を養っておられるでしょう。まして、あなたがたは天の父にとって鳥よりはるかに価値があるのです。
27 だいたい、どんなに心配したところで、自分のいのちを一瞬でも延ばすことができますか。
28 また、なぜ着る物の心配をするのですか。野に咲いているゆりの花を見なさい。着る物の心配などしていないでしょう。 29 それなのに、栄華をきわめたソロモンでさえ、この花ほど美しくは着飾っていませんでした。 30 今日は咲いていても、明日は枯れてしまう草花でさえ、神はこれほど心にかけてくださるのです。だとしたら、あなたがたのことは、なおさらよくしてくださらないでしょうか。ああ、信仰の薄い人たち。
31 ですから、食べ物や着物のことは、何も心配しなくていいのです。 32 ほんとうの神を信じない人たちのまねをしてはいけません。彼らは、それらがたくさんあることを鼻にかけ、そうした物に心を奪われています。しかし天の父は、それらがあなたがたに必要なことをよくご存じです。 33 神を第一とし、神が望まれるとおりの生活をしなさい。そうすれば、必要なものは、神が与えてくださいます。
34 明日のことを心配するのはやめなさい。神は明日のことも心にかけてくださるのですから、一日一日を力いっぱい生きなさい。

Giving to the Needy
6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.(A) If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.(B)
Prayer(C)
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing(D) in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,(E) who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling(F) like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.(G) 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need(H) before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father(I) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom(J) come,
your will be done,(K)
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.(L)
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.(M)
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a](N)
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’(O)
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.(P) 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.(Q)
Fasting
16 “When you fast,(R) do not look somber(S) as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.(T)
Treasures in Heaven(U)
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,(V) where moths and vermin destroy,(W) and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,(X) where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.(Y) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(Z)
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.(AA)
Do Not Worry(AB)
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry(AC) about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.(AD) Are you not much more valuable than they?(AE) 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?(AF)
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor(AG) was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?(AH) 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.(AI) 33 But seek first his kingdom(AJ) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.(AK) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

King James Version
Matthew 6
King James Version
6 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
