1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
此後アンモンの子孫の王ナハシ死ければその子これに代りて王となりたり
2 And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
ダビデ言けるは我ナハシの子ヌンをねんごろに遇らはんかれが父われをねんごろにあしらひたればなりとダビデすなはち彼をその父の故によりて慰めんとて使者を遣はせりダビデの臣僕等アンモンの子孫の地に往きハヌンに詣りてこれを慰めけるに
3 But the rulers of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, Do thou think that David honors thy father, in that he has sent comforters to thee? Have not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
アンモンの子孫の牧伯等ハヌンに言けるはダビデ慰籍者を汝につかはしたるに因て彼なんぢの父を尊ぶと汝の目に見ゆるや彼の臣僕等は此國を窺ひ探りて滅ぼさんとて來れるならずやと
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
是においてハヌン、ダビデの臣僕等を執へてその鬚を剃おとしその衣服を中より斷て腎までにして之を歸したりしが
5 And they came and informed David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Remain at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
或人きたりて此人々の爲られし事をダビデに告ければダビデ人をつかはして之を迎へしめたりその人々おほいに愧たればなり即ち王いひけるは汝ら鬚の長るまでヱリコに止まりて然る後かへるべしと
6 And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah.
アンモンの子孫自己のダビデに惡まるる樣になれるを見しかばハヌンおよびアンモンの子孫すなはち銀一千タラントをおくりてメソポタミヤとスリアマアカおよびゾバより戰車と騎兵とを雇ひいれたり
7 So they hired for them thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
即ち戰車三萬二千乗にマアカの王とその兵士を雇ひければ彼ら來りてメデバの前に陣を張り是においてアンモンの子孫その邑々より寄あつまりて戰はんとて來れり
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
ダビデ聞てヨアブと勇士の惣軍を遣しけるに
9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city. And the kings that came were by themselves in the field.
アンモンの子孫は出て邑の門の前に戰爭の陣列をなせり又援助に來れる王等は別に野に居り
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and behind, he chose from all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
時にヨアブ前後より敵の攻寄るを見てイスラエルの倔強の兵士の中を抽擢て之をしてスリア人にむかひて陣列しめ
11 And the rest of the company he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the sons of Ammon.
その餘の民をばその兄弟アビシヤイの手に交してアンモンの子孫にむかひて陣列しめ
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shall help me, but if the sons of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
而して言けるはスリア人もし我に手強からば汝我を助けよアンモンの子孫もし汝に手強からば我なんぢを助けん
13 Be of good courage, and let us act the man for our people, and for the cities of our God. And Jehovah do that which seems good to him.
汝勇しくなれよ我儕の民のためと我らの神の諸邑のために我ら勇しく爲ん願くはヱホバその目に善と見ゆる所をなしたまへと
14 So Joab and the company that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle, and they fled before him.
ヨアブ己に從へる民とともに進みよりてスリア人を攻撃けるにスリア人かれの前より潰奔れり
15 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
アンモンの子孫はスリア人の潰奔れるを見て自己等もまたその兄弟アビシヤイの前より逃奔りて城邑にいりぬ是においてヨアブはヱルサレムに歸れり
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadarezer at their head.
スリア人はそのイスラエルに撃やぶられたるを見て使者を遣はして河の彼旁なるスリア人を將ゐ出せりハダレゼルの軍旅の長シヨバクこれを率ゆ
17 And it was told David. And he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
その事ダビデに聞えければ彼イスラエルを悉く集めヨルダンを渡りて彼らの所に來り之にむかひて戰爭の陣列を立たりダビデかく彼らにむかひて戰爭の陣列を立たれば彼らこれと戰へり
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel. And David killed of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the army.
然るにスリア人イスラエルの前に潰たればダビデ、スリアの兵車の人七千歩兵四萬を殺しまた軍旅の長シヨバクを殺せり
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him, neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
ハダレゼルの臣たる者等そのイスラエルに撃やぶられたるを見てダピデと和睦をなしてこれが臣となれりスリア人は此後ふたたびアンモンの子孫を助くることを爲ざりき
