1 Kings 2
1 As the time drew near for David to die, he charged his son Solomon,
ダビデ死ぬる日近よりければ其子ソロモンに命じていふ
2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove yourself a man.
我は世人の皆往く途に往んとす汝は強く丈夫のごとく爲れ
3 And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you turn,
汝の神ヱホバの職守を守り其道に歩行み其法憲と其誡命と其律例と其證言とをモーセの律法に録されたるごとく守るべし然らば汝凡て汝の爲ところと凡て汝の向ふところにて榮ゆべし
4 and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
又ヱホバは其甞に我の事に付て語りて若汝の子等其道を愼み心を盡し精神を盡して眞實をもて吾前に歩ばイスラエルの位に上る人汝に缺ることなかるべしと言たまひし言を堅したまはん
5 Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
又汝はゼルヤの子ヨアブが我に爲たる事即ち彼がイスラエルの二人の軍の長ネルの子アブネルとヱテルの子アマサに爲たる事を知る彼此二人を切殺し太平の時に戰の血を流し戰の血を己の腰の周圍の帶と其足の履に染たり
6 So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
故に汝の智慧にしたがひて事を爲し其白髮を安然に墓に下らしむるなかれ (Sheol h7585)
7 But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
但しギレアデ人バルジライの子等には恩惠を施こし彼等をして汝の席にて食ふ者の中にあらしめよ彼等はわが汝の兄弟アブサロムの面を避て逃し時我に就たるなり
8 Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’
視よ又バホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ汝とともに在り彼はわがマナハイムに往し時勵しき詛言をもて我を詛へり然ども彼ヨルダンに下りて我を迎へたれば我ヱホバを指て誓ひて我劍をもて汝を殺さじといへり
9 Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.” (Sheol h7585)
然りといへども彼を辜なき者とする勿れ汝は智慧ある人なれば彼に爲べき事を知るなり血を流して其白髮を墓に下すべしと (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
斯てダビデは其父祖と偕に寝りてダビデの城に葬らる
11 The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
ダビデのイスラエルに王たりし日は四十年なりき即ちヘブロンにて王たりし事七年エルサレムにて王たりし事三十三年
12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.
ソロモン其父ダビデの位に坐し其國は堅固く定まりぬ
13 Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “Yes, in peace,” he replied.
爰にハギテの子アドニヤ、ソロモンの母バテシバの所に來りければバテシバいひけるは汝は平穩なる事のために來るや彼いふ平穩たる事のためなり
14 Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.
彼又いふ我は汝に言さんとする事ありとバテシバいふ言されよ
15 “You know that the kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD.
かれいひけるは汝の知ごとく國は我の有にしてイスラエル皆其面を我に向て王となさんと爲りしかるに國は轉てわが兄弟の有となれり其彼の有となれるはヱホバより出たるなり
16 So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.
今我一の願を汝に求む請ふわが面を黜くるなかれバテシバかれにいひけるは言されよ
17 Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
彼いひけるは請ふソロモン王に言て彼をしてシエナミ人アビシヤグを我に與て妻となさしめよ彼は汝の面を黜けざるべければなり
18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”
バテシバいふ善し我汝のために王に言んと
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
かくてバテシバ、アドニヤのために言とてソロモン王の許に至りければ王起てかれを迎へ彼を拝して其位に坐なほり王母のために座を設けしむ乃ち其右に坐せり
20 “I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”
しかしてバテシバいひけるは我一の細小き願を汝に求むわが面を黜くるなかれ王かれにいひけるは母上よ求めたまへ我汝の面を黜けざるなり
21 So Bathsheba said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
彼いひけるは請ふシユナミ人アビシヤグをアドニヤに與て妻となさしめよ
22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
ソロモン王答て其母にいひけるは何ぞアドニヤのためにシユナミ人アビシヤグを求めらるるや彼のために國をも求められよ彼は我の兄なればなり彼と祭司アビヤタルとゼルヤの子ヨアブのために求められよと
23 Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life.
ソロモン王乃ちヱホバを指て誓ひていふ神我に斯なし又重ねて斯なしたまへアドニヤは其身の生命を喪はんとて此言を言いだせり
24 And now, as surely as the LORD lives—the One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
我を立てわが父ダビデの位に上しめ其約せしごとく我に家を建たまひしヱホバは生くアドニヤは今日戮さるべしと
25 So King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.
ソロモン王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしければ彼アドニヤを撃て死しめたり
26 Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”
王また祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは汝の故田アナトテにいたれ汝は死に當る者なれども嚮にわが父ダビデのまへに神ヱホバの櫃を舁き又凡てわが父の艱難を受たる處にて汝も艱難を受たれば我今日は汝を戮さじと
27 So Solomon banished Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD and thus fulfilled the word that the LORD had spoken at Shiloh against the house of Eli.
ソロモン、アビヤタルを逐いだしてヱホバの祭司たらしめざりき斯ヱホバがシロにてエリの家につきて言たまひし言應たり
28 When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah but not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
爰に其風聞ヨアブに達りければヨアブ、ヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の角を執たり其はヨアブは轉てアブサロムには隨はざりしかどもアドニヤに隨ひたればなり
29 It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”
ヨアブがヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の傍に居ることソロモンに聞えければソロモン、ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしいひけるは往て彼を撃てと
30 And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”
ベナヤ乃ちヱホバの幕屋にいたり彼にいひけるは王斯言ふ出來れ彼いひけるは否我は此に死んとベナヤ反て王に告てヨアブ斯言ひ斯我に答へたりと言ふ
31 And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed.
王ベナヤにいひけるは彼が言ふごとく爲し彼を撃て葬りヨアブが故なくして流したる血を我とわが父の家より除去べし
32 The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.
又ヱホバはヨアブの血を其身の首に歸したまふべし其は彼は己よりも義く且善りし二の人を撃ち劍をもてこれを殺したればなり即ちイスラエルの軍の長ネルの子アブネルとユダの軍の長ヱテルの子アマサを殺せり然るに吾父ダビデは與り知ざりき
33 Their blood will come back upon the heads of Joab and his descendants forever; but for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD forever.”
されば彼等の血は長久にヨアブの首と其苗裔の首に皈すべし然どダビデと其苗裔と其家と其位にはヱホバよりの平安永久にあるべし
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him. He was buried at his own home in the wilderness.
ヱホヤダの子ベナヤすなはち上りて彼を撃ち彼を殺せり彼は野にある己の家に葬らる
35 And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.
王乃ちヱホヤダの子ベナヤをヨアブに代て軍の長となせり王また祭司ザドクをしてアビヤタルに代しめたり
36 Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
又王人を遣てシメイを召て之に曰けるはエルサレムに於て汝の爲に家を建て其處に住み其處より此にも彼にも出るなかれ
37 On the day you go out and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”
汝が出てキデロン川を濟る日には汝確に知れ汝必ず戮さるべし汝の血は汝の首に歸せん
38 “The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
シメイ王にいひけるは此言は善し王わが主の言たまへるごとく僕然なすべしと斯シメイ日久しくエルサレムに住り
39 After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
三年の後シメイの二人の僕ガテの王マアカの子アキシの所に逃されり人々シメイに告ていふ視よ汝の僕はガテにありと
40 So Shimei saddled his donkey and set out to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves, and he brought them back from Gath.
シメイ乃ち起て其驢馬に鞍置きガテに往てアキシに至り其僕を尋ねたり即ちシメイ往て其僕をガテより携來りしが
41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
シメイのエルサレムよりガテにゆきて歸しことソロモンに聞えければ
42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’
王人を遣てシメイを召て之にいひけるは我汝をしてヱホバを指て誓しめ且汝を戒めて汝確に知れ汝が出て此彼に歩く日には汝必ず戮さるべしと言しにあらずや又汝は我に我聞る言葉は善しといへり
43 So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”
しかるに汝なんぞヱホバの誓とわが汝に命じたる命令を守ざりしや
44 The king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head.
王又シメイにいひけるは汝は凡て汝の心の知る諸の惡即ち汝がわが父ダビデに爲たる所を知るヱホバ汝の惡を汝の首に歸したまふ
45 But King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”
されどソロモン王は福祉を蒙らんまたダビデの位は永久にヱホバのまへに固く立べしと
46 Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤに命じければ彼出てシメイを撃ちて死しめたりしかして國はソロモンの手に固く立り
