< Chronicles I 21 >
1 And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
茲にサタン起りてイスラエルに敵しダビデを感動してイスラエルを核數しめんとせり
2 And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
ダビデすなはちヨアブと民の牧伯等に言けるは汝等ゆきてベエルシバよりダンまでのイスラエル人を數へその數をとりきたりて我に知せよ
3 And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
ヨアブ答へけるは幾何あるとも願くはヱホバその民を百倍に増たまへ然ながら王わが主よ是はみな我主の僕ならずや然に何とて我主この事を爲んと要たまふや何ぞイスラエルをして之によりて罪を獲せしむべけんやと
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
されど王つひにヨアブに言勝たればヨアブすなはち出ゆきイスラエルを徧く行めぐりてヱルサレムに還れり
5 And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
而してヨアブ民の總數をダビデに告たり即ちイスラエルの中には劍を帶る者一百十萬人ありユダの中には劍を帶る者四十七萬人ありき
6 But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin amongst them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
但しレビとベニヤミンとはその中に數へざりき其はヨアブ王の言を惡みたればなり
7 And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
この事神の目に惡かりければイスラエルを撃なやましたまへり
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
ダビデ是において神に申しけるは我この事をなして大に罪を獲たり然ども今ねがはくは僕の罪を除きたまへ我はなはだ愚なる事をなせりと
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
時にヱホバ、ダビデの先見者ガデにきて言たまひけるは
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.
往てダビデに告て言へヱホバかく言ふ我なんぢに三のものを示す汝その一を撰べ我それを汝に爲んと
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
ガデすなはちダビデの許に至り之に言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝擇べよ
12 either three years of famine, or that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
即ち三年の饑饉か又は汝三月の間汝の敵の前に敗れて汝の仇の劍に追しかれんか又は三日の間ヱホバの劍すなはち疫病この國にありてヱホバの使者イスラエルの四方の境の中にて撃滅ぼすことをせんか我が如何なる答を我を遣せし者に爲べきかを汝決めよ
13 And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
ダビデ、ガデに言けるは我おほいに苦む請ふ我はヱホバの手に陷らん其憐憫甚だおほいなればなり人の手には陷らじと
14 So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
是においてヱホバ、イスラエルに疫病を降したまひければイスラエルの人七萬人斃れたり
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
神また使者をヱルサレムに遣してこれを滅ぼさんとしたまひしが其これを滅ぼすにあたりてヱホバ視てこの禍害をなせしを悔い其ほろぼす使者に言たまひけるは足り今なんぢの手を住めよと時にヱホバの使者はヱブス人オルナンの打場の傍に立をる
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
ダビデ目をあげて視るにヱホバの使者地と天の間に立て抜身の劍を手にとりてヱルサレムの方にこれを伸をりければダビデと長老等麻布を衣て俯伏り
17 And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
而してダビデ神に申しけるは民を數へよと命ぜし者は我ならずや罪を犯し惡き事をなしたる者は我なり然れども是等の羊は何をなせしや我神ヱホバよ請ふ汝の手を我とわが父の家に加へたまへ惟汝の民に加へて之を疚めたまふ勿れと
18 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
時にヱホバの使者ガデに命じ汝ダビデに告てダビデをして上りゆきてヱブス人オルナンの打場にてヱホバのために一箇の壇を築しめよと言り
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
是においてダビデはガデがヱホバの名をもて告たる言にしたがひて上りゆけり
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
オルナンは麥を打ゐけるが回顧て天の使の居るを視その四人の子等とともに匿れたり
21 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
やがてダビデはオルナンの方に來りけるがオルナン望てダビデを見すなはち打場より出ゆきて面を地につけてダビデを拝せり
22 And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [amongst] the people.
ダビデ、オルナンに言けるは此打場の處を我に與へよ我そこにてヱホバに一箇の壇を築かん汝その十分の値をとりて之を我にあたへ災害の民におよぶことを止めしめよ
23 And Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
オルナン、ダビデに言けるは請ふ之を取り王わが主の目に善と觀るところを爲たまへ我なんぢに献げて牛を燔祭の料とし打禾車を柴薪とし麥を素祭とせん我みなこれを奉呈ると
24 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
ダビデ王オルナンに言けるは然るべからず我かならず十分の値をはらひて之を買ん我は汝の物を取てヱホバに奉まつらじ又費なしに燔祭を献ぐることをせじと
25 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
ダビデすなはち其處のために金六百シケルを衡りてオルナンに與へたり
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt offering.
而してダビデ其處にてヱホバに一箇の祭壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭を献げてヱホバを龥けるに天より燔祭の壇の上に火を降して之に應へたまへり
27 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
ヱホバすなはちその使者に命じたまひければ彼その劍を鞘に蔵めたり
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
その時ダビデはヱホバがヱブス人オルナンの打場において己に應へたまふを見たれば其處にて犠牲を献ぐることを爲り
29 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
モーセが荒野にて造りたるヱホバの幕屋と燔祭の壇とは當時ギベオンの崇邱にありけるが
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
ダビデはその前に進みゆきて神に求むることを得せざりき是は彼ヱホバの使者の劍のために懼れたるに因てなり
