< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
此後アンモンの子孫の王死て其子ハヌン之に代りて位に即く
2 And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon.
ダビデ我ナハシの子ハヌンにその父の我に恩惠を示せしごとく恩惠を示さんといひてダビデかれを其父の故によりて慰めんとて其僕を遣せりダビデの僕アンモンの子孫の地にいたるに
3 But the rulers of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Think thou that David honors thy father, in that he has sent comforters to thee? Has not David sent his servants to thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
アンモンの子孫の諸伯其主ハヌンにいひけるはダビデ慰者を汝に遣はしたるによりて彼汝の父を崇むと汝の目に見ゆるやダビデ此城邑を窺ひこれを探りて陷いれんために其僕を汝に遣はせるにあらずや
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
是においてハヌン、ダビデの僕を執へ其鬚の半を剃り落し其衣服を中より斷て股までにしてこれを歸せり
5 When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
人々これをダビデに告たればダビデ人を遣はしてかれらを迎へしむ其人々大に恥たればなり即ち王いふ汝ら鬚の長るまでヱリコに止まりて然るのち歸るべしと
6 And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
アンモンの子孫自己のダビデに惡まるるを見しかばアンモンの子孫人を遣はしてベテレホブのスリア人とゾバのスリア人の歩兵二萬人およびマアカの王より一千人トブの人より一萬二千人を雇いれたり
7 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はせり
8 And the sons of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. And the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
アンモンの子孫出て門の入口に軍の陣列をなしたりゾバとレホブのスリア人およびトブの人とマアカの人は別に野に居り
9 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.
ヨアブ戰の前後より己に向ふを見てイスラエルの選抜の兵の中を選みてこれをスリア人に對ひて備へしめ
10 And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother. And he put them in array against the sons of Ammon.
其餘の民をば其兄弟アビシヤイの手に交してアンモンの子孫に向て備へしめて
11 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 come and help thee.
いひけるは若スリア人我に手強からば汝我を助けよ若アンモンの子孫汝に手剛からば我ゆきて汝をたすけん
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God. And Jehovah do that which seems good to him.
汝勇ましくなれよ我ら民のためとわれらの神の諸邑のために勇しく爲んねがはくはヱホバ其目によしと見ゆるところをなしたまへ
13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians. And they fled before him.
ヨアブ己と共に在る民と共にスリア人にむかひて戰んとて近づきければスリア人彼のまへより逃たり
14 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
アンモンの子孫スリア人の逃たるを見て亦自己等もアビシヤイのまへより逃て城邑にいりぬヨアブすなはちアンモンの子孫の所より還りてエルサレムにいたる
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
スリア人其イスラエルのまへに敗れたるを見て倶にあつまれり
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadarezer at their head.
ハダデゼル人をやりて河の前岸にをるスリア人を將ゐ出して皆ヘラムにきたらしむハダデゼルの軍の長シヨバクかれらを率ゐたり
17 And it was told David. And he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
其事ダビデに聞えければ彼イスラエルを悉く集めてヨルダンを渉りてヘラムに來れりスリア人ダビデに向ひて備へ之と戰ふ
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel. And David killed of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their army so that he died there.
スリア人イスラエルのまへより逃ければダビデ、スリアの兵車の人七百騎兵四萬を殺し又其軍の長シヨバクを撃てこれを其所に死しめたり
19 And when all the kings who were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the sons of Ammon any more.
ハダデゼルの臣なる王等其イスラエルのまへに壞れたるを見てイスラエルと平和をなして之に事へたり斯スリア人は恐れて再びアンモンの子孫を助くることをせざりき
