1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan rose 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 David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
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 answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as 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 But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned 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 he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
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 Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
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 God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: 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 doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
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 of David, 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, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
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 when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
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’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
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: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.
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 sent a 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 he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan 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 lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
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: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
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 commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan 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 to him 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 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
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 as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him 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 him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from 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 Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
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 him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
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 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just 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 he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
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 commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the 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 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims 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 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of 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 to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing 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
