2 Samuel 7
1 And it came to pass when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies,
王其家に住にいたり且ヱホバ其四方の敵を壞てかれを安らかならしめたまひし時
2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains.
王預言者ナタンに云けるは視よ我は香柏の家に住む然ども神の櫃は幔幕の中にあり
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.
ナタン王に云けるはヱホバ汝と共に在せば往て凡て汝の心にあるところを爲せ
4 And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,
其夜ヱホバの言ナタンに臨みていはく
5 Go and say to my servant, to David, Thus saith Jehovah: Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?
往てわが僕ダビデに言へヱホバ斯く言ふ汝わがために我の住むべき家を建んとするや
6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
我はイスラエルの子孫をエジプトより導き出せし時より今日にいたるまで家に住しことなくして但天幕と幕屋の中に歩み居たり
7 In all my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
我イスラエルの子孫と共に凡て歩める處にて汝ら何故に我に香柏の家を建ざるやとわが命じてわが民イスラエルを牧養しめしイスラエルの士師の一人に一言も語りしことあるや
8 And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel;
然ば汝わが僕ダビデに斯く言ふべし萬軍のヱホバ斯く言ふ我汝を牧場より取り羊に隨ふ所より取りてわが民イスラエルの首長となし
9 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.
汝がすべて往くところにて汝と共にあり汝の諸の敵を汝の前より斷さりて地の上の大なる者の名のごとく汝に大なる名を得さしめたり
10 And I will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly,
又我わが民イスラエルのために處を定めてかれらを植つけかれらをして自己の處に住て重て動くことなからしめたり
11 and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.
また惡人昔のごとくまたわが民イスラエルの上に士師を立てたる時よりの如くふたたび之を惱ますことなかるべし我汝の諸の敵をやぶりて汝を安かならしめたり又ヱホバ汝に告ぐヱホバ汝のために家をたてん
12 When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
汝の日の滿て汝が汝の父祖等と共に寝らん時に我汝の身より出る汝の種子を汝の後にたてて其國を堅うせん
13 It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
彼わが名のために家を建ん我永く其國の位を堅うせん
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men;
我はかれの父となり彼はわが子となるべし彼もし迷はば我人の杖と人の子の鞭を以て之を懲さん
15 but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before thee.
されど我の恩惠はわが汝のまへより除きしサウルより離れたるごとくに彼よりは離るることあらじ
16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made firm for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
汝の家と汝の國は汝のまへに永く保つべし汝の位は永く堅うせらるべし
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
ナタン凡て是等の言のごとくまたすべてこの異象のごとくダビデに語りければ
18 And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
ダビデ王入りてヱホバの前に坐していひけるは主ヱホバよ我は誰わが家は何なればか爾此まで我を導きたまひしや
19 And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?
主ヱホバよ此はなほ汝の目には小き事なり汝また僕の家の遥か後の事を語りたまへり主ヱホバよ是は人の法なり
20 And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.
ダビデ此上何を汝に言ふを得ん其は主ヱホバ汝僕を知たまへばなり
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it].
汝の言のためまた汝の心に隨ひて汝此諸の大なることを爲し僕に之をしらしめたまふ
22 Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
故に神ヱホバよ爾は大なり其は我らが凡て耳に聞る所に依ば汝の如き者なくまた汝の外に神なければなり
23 And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
地の何れの國か汝の民イスラエルの如くなる其は神ゆきてかれらを贖ひ己の民となして大なる名を得たまひまた彼らの爲に大なる畏るべき事を爲したまへばなり即ち汝がエジプトより贖ひ取たまひし民の前より國々の人と其諸神を逐拂ひたまへり
24 And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.
汝は汝の民イスラエルをかぎりなく汝の民として汝に定めたまへりヱホバよ汝はかれの神となりたまふ
25 And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
されば神ヱホバよ汝が僕と其家につきて語りたまひし言を永く堅うして汝のいひしごとく爲たまへ
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
ねがはくは永久に汝の名を崇めて萬軍のヱホバはイスラエルの神なりと曰しめたまへねがはくは僕ダビデの家をして汝のまへに堅く立しめたまへ
27 For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
其は萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神よ汝僕の耳に示して我汝に家をたてんと言たまひたればなり 是故に僕此祈祷を汝に爲す道を心の中に得たり
28 And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;
主ヱホバよ汝は神なり汝の言は眞なり汝この惠を僕に語りたまへり
29 and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
願くは僕の家を祝福て汝のまへに永く続くことを得さしめたまへ其は主ヱホバ汝これを語りたまへばなりねがはくは汝の祝福によりて僕の家に永く祝福を蒙らしめたまへ
