2 Samuel 24
1 And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.
ヱホバ復イスラエルにむかひて怒を發しダビデを感動して彼等に敵對しめ往てイスラエルとユダを數へよと言しめたまふ
2 And the king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people.
王乃ちヨアブおよびヨアブとともにある軍長等にいひけるは請ふイスラエルの諸の支派の中をダンよりベエルシバに至るまで行めぐりて民を核べ我をして民の數を知しめよ
3 And Joab said to the king, Now Jehovah thy God add to the people, however many they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it, but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
ヨアブ王にいひけるは幾何あるともねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ民を百倍に増たまへ而して王わが主の目それを視るにいたれ然りといへども王わが主の此事を悦びたまふは何故ぞやと
4 Notwithstanding, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to number the people of Israel.
されど王の言ヨアブと軍長等に勝ければヨアブと軍長等王の前を退きてイスラエルの民を核べに往り
5 And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer.
かれらヨルダンを濟りアロエルより即ち河の中の邑より始めてガドにいたりヤゼルにいたり
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi. And they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Sidon,
ギレアデにいたりタテムホデシの地にいたり又ダニヤンにいたりてシドンに旋り
7 and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites. And they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
またツロの城にいたりヒビ人とカナン人の諸の邑にいたりユダの南に出てベエルシバにいたれり
8 So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
彼等國を徧く行めぐり九月と廿日を經てルサレムに至りぬ
9 And Joab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
ヨアブ人口の數を王に告たり即ちイスラエルに劍を抜く壯士八十萬ありき又ユダの人は五十萬ありき
10 And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done, but now, O Jehovah, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly.
ダビデ民の數を書し後其心自ら責む是においてダビデ、ヱホバにいふ我これを爲して大に罪を犯したりねがはくはヱホバよ僕の罪を除きたまへ我甚だ愚なる事を爲りと
11 And when David rose up in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
ダビデ朝興し時ヱホバの言ダビデの先見者なる預言者ガデに臨みて曰く
12 Go and speak to David, Thus says Jehovah, I offer thee three things. Choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee.
往てダビデに言へヱホバ斯いふ我汝に三を示す汝其一を擇べ我其を汝に爲んと
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? Or will thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now decide, and see what answer I shall return to him who sent me.
ガデ、ダビデの許にいたりこれに告てこれにいひけるは汝の地に七年の饑饉いたらんか或は汝敵に追れて三月其前に遁んか或は爾の地に三日の疫病あらんか爾考へてわが如何なる答を我を遣はせし者に爲べきかを決めよ
14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait. Let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are great, and let me not fall into the hand of man.
ダビデ、ガデにいひけるは我大に苦しむ請ふ我儕をしてヱホバの手に陷らしめよ其憐憫大なればなり我をして人の手に陷らしむるなかれ
15 So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed. And there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
是においてヱホバ朝より集會の時まで疫病をイスラエルに降したまふダンよりベエルシバまでに民の死る者七萬人なり
16 And when the agent stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Jehovah relented of the evil, and said to the agent who destroyed the people, It is enough. Now stay thy hand. And the agent of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
天の使其手をエルサレムに伸てこれを滅さんとしたりしがヱホバ此害惡を悔て民を滅す天使にいひたまひけるは足り今汝の手を住めよと時にヱホバの使はヱブス人アラウナの禾場の傍にあり
17 And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the agent who smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely, but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
ダビデ民を撃つ天使を見し時ヱホバに申していひけるは嗚呼我は罪を犯したり我は惡き事を爲たり然ども是等の羊群は何を爲たるや請ふ爾の手を我とわが父の家に對たまへと
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
此日ガデ、ダビデの所にいたりてかれにいひけるは上りてヱブス人アラウナの禾場にてヱホバに壇を建よ
19 And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.
ダビデ、ガデの言に隨ひヱホバの命じたまひしごとくのぼれり
20 And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. And Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
アラウナ觀望て王と其臣僕の己の方に進み來るを見アラウナ出て王のまへに地に伏て拝せり
21 And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor from thee, to build an altar to Jehovah that the plague may be halted from the people.
かくてアラウナいひけるは何に因てか王わが主僕の所にきませるやダビデひけるは汝より禾場を買ひとりヱホバに壇を築きて民に降る災をとどめんとてなり
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
アラウナ、ダビデにいひけるはねがはくは王わが主其目に善と見ゆるものを取て献げたまへ燔祭には牛あり薪には打禾車と牛の器ありと
23 All this, O king, Araunah gives to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.
アラリナこれを悉く王に奉呈ぐアラウナ又王にねがはくは爾の神ヱホバ爾を受納たまはんことをといふ
24 And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will truly buy it from thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt offerings to Jehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
王アラウナにいひけるは斯すべからず我必ず値をはらひて爾より買とらん我費なしに燔祭をわが神ヱホバに献ぐることをせじとダビデ銀五十シケルにて禾場と牛を買とれり
25 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So Jehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was halted from Israel.
ダビデ其處にてヱホバに壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭を献げたり是においてヱホバ其地のために祈祷を聽たまひて災のイスラエルに降ること止りぬ
