< 2 Samuel 16 >
1 And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask of wine.
ダビデ少しく嶺を過ゆける時視よメピボセテの僕ヂバ鞍おける二頭の驢馬を引き其上にパン二百乾葡萄一百球乾棗の團塊一百酒一嚢を載きたりてダビデを迎ふ
2 And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
王ヂバにいひけるは此等は何なるかヂバいひけるは驢馬は王の家族の乗るためパンと乾棗は少者の食ふため洒は野に困憊たる者の飮むためなり
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
王いひけるは爾の主人の子は何處にあるやヂバ王にいひけるはかれはエルサレムに止まる其は彼イスラエルの家今日我父の國を我にかへさんと言をればなり
4 And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.
王ヂバにいひけるは視よメピボセテの所有は悉く爾の所有となるべしヂバいひけるは我拝す王わが主よ我をして爾のまへに恩を蒙むらしめたまへ
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed,
斯てダビデ王バホリムにいたるに視よ彼處よりサウルの家の族の者一人出きたる其名をシメイといふゲラの子なり彼出きたりて來りつつ詛へり
6 and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
又彼ダビデとダビデ王の諸の臣僕にむかひて石を投たり時に民と勇士皆王の左右にあり
7 And thus said Shimei as he cursed: Away, away, thou man of blood and man of Belial!
シメイ詛の中に斯いへり汝血を流す人よ爾邪なる人よ出され出され
8 Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art [taken] in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood.
爾が代りて位に登りしサウルの家の血を凡てヱホバ爾に歸したまへりヱホバ國を爾の子アブサロムの手に付したまへり視よ爾は血を流す人なるによりて禍患の中にあるなり
9 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
ゼルヤの子アビシヤイ王にいひけるは此死たる犬なんぞ王わが主を詛ふべけんや請ふ我をして渉りゆきてかれの首を取しめよ
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?
王いひけるはゼルヤの子等よ爾らの與るところにあらず彼の詛ふはヱホバ彼にダビデを詛へと言たまひたるによるなれば誰か爾なんぞ然するやと言べけんや
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.
ダビデ又アビシヤイおよび己の諸の臣僕にいひけるは視よわが身より出たるわが子わが生命を求む况や此ベニヤミン人をや彼を聽して詛はしめよヱホバ彼に命じたまへるなり
12 It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.
ヱホバわが艱難を俯視みたまふことあらん又ヱホバ今日彼の詛のために我に善を報いたまふことあらんと
13 And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
斯てダビデと其從者途を行けるにシメイはダビデに對へる山の傍に行て行つつ詛ひまた彼にむかひて石を投げ塵を揚たり
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
王および倶にある民皆アエピムに來りて彼處に息をつげり
15 Now Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
偖アブサロムと總ての民イスラエルの人々エルサレムに至れりアヒトペルもアブサロムとともにいたる
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
ダビデの友なるアルキ人ホシヤイ、アブサロムの許に來りし時アブサロムにいふ願くは王壽かれ願くは王壽かれ
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why didst thou not go with thy friend?
アブサロム、ホシヤイにいひけるは此は爾が其友に示す厚意なるや爾なんぞ爾の友と往ざるやと
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
ホシヤイ、アブサロムにいひけるは然らずヱホバと此民とイスラエルの總の人々の選む者に我は屬し且其人とともに居るべし
19 And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
且又我誰に事ふべきか其子の前に事べきにあらずや我は爾の父のまへに事しごとく爾のまへに事べし
20 And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
爰にアブサロム、アヒトベルにいひけるは我儕如何に爲べきか爾等計を爲すべしと
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong.
アヒトペル、アブサロムにいひけるは爾の父が遺して家を守らしむる妾等の處に入れ然ばイスラエル皆爾が其父に惡まるるを聞ん而して爾とともにをる總の者の手強くなるべしと
22 So they spread a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
是において屋脊にアブサロムのために天幕を張ければアブサロム、イスラエルの目のまへにて其父の妾等の處に入りぬ
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
當時アヒトペルが謀れる謀計は神の言に問たるごとくなりきアヒトペルの謀計は皆ダビデとアブサロムとに倶に是のごとく見えたりき
