2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.
年歸りて王等の戰に出る時におよびてダビデ、ヨアブおよび自己の臣僕並にイスラエルの全軍を遣はせり彼等アンモンの子孫を滅ぼしてラバを圍めりされどダビデはエルサレムに止りぬ
2 In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
爰に夕暮にダビデ其床より興きいでて王の家の屋蓋のうへに歩みしが屋蓋より一人の婦人の體をあらふを見たり其婦は觀るに甚だ美し
3 And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
ダビデ人を遣して婦人を探らしめしに或人いふ此はエリアムの女ハテシバにてヘテ人ウリヤの妻なるにあらずやと
4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
ダビデ乃ち使者を遣はして其婦を取る婦彼に來りて彼婦と寝たりしかして婦其不潔を清めて家に歸りぬ
5 And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.
かくて婦孕みければ人をつかはしてダビデに告ていひけるは我子を孕めりと
6 And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.
是においてダビデ人をヨアブにつかはしてヘテ人ウリヤを我に遣はせといひければヨアブ、ウリヤをダビデに遣はせり
7 And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.
ウリヤ、ダビデにいたりしかばダビデこれにヨアブの如何なると民の如何なると戰爭の如何なるを問ふ
8 And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.
しかしてダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝の家に下りて足を洗へとウリヤ王の家を出るに王の贈物其後に從ひてきたる
9 But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.
然どウリヤは王の家の門に其主の僕等とともに寝ておのれの家にくだりいたらず
10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
人々ダビデに告てウリヤ其家にくだり至らずといひければダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝は旅路をなして來れるにあらずや何故に自己の家にくだらざるや
11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.
ウリヤ、ダビデにいひけるは櫃とイスラエルとユダは小屋の中に住まりわが主ヨアブとわが主の僕は野の表に陣を取るに我いかでわが家にゆきて食ひ飮しまた妻と寝べけけんや汝は生また汝の霊魂は活く我此事をなさじ
12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
ダビデ、ウリヤにいふ今日も此にとどまれ明日我汝を去しめんとウリヤ其日と次の日エルサレムにとどまりしが
13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
ダビデかれを召て其まへに食ひ飮せしめダビデかれを酔しめたり晩にいたりて彼出て其床に其主の僕と共に寝たりされどおのれの家にはくだりゆかざりき
14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
朝におよびてダビデ、ヨアブヘの書を認めて之をウリヤの手によりて遣れり
15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
ダビデ其書に書ていはく汝らウリヤを烈しき戰の先鉾にいだしてかれの後より退きて彼をして戰死せしめよ
16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.
是においてヨアブ城邑を窺ひてウリヤをば其勇士の居ると知る所に置り
17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
城邑の人出てヨアブと戰ひしかばダビデの僕の中の數人仆れヘテ人ウリヤも死り
18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
ヨアブ人をつかはして軍の事を悉くダビデに告げしむ
19 And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,
ヨアブ其使者に命じていひけるは汝が軍の事を皆王に語り終しとき
20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?
王もし怒りを發して汝に汝らなんぞ戰はんとて城邑に近づきしや汝らは彼らが石墻の上より射ることを知らざりしや
21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
ヱルベセテの子アビメレクを撃し者は誰なるや一人の婦が石垣の上より磨の上石を投て彼をテベツに殺せしにあらずや何ぞ汝ら城垣に近づきしやと言はば汝言べし汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤもまた死りと
22 So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.
使者ゆきてダビデにいたりヨアブが遣はしたるところのことをことごとく告げたり
23 And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.
使者ダビデにいひけるは敵我儕に手強かりしが城外にいでて我儕にいたりしかば我儕これに迫りて門の入口にまでいたれり
24 And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.
時に射手の者城垣の上より汝の僕を射たりければ王の僕の或者死に亦汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤも死りと
25 And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
ダビデ使者にいひけるは斯汝ヨアブに言べし此事を憂ふるなかれ刀劍は此をも彼をも同じく殺すなり強く城邑を攻て戰ひ之を陷いるべしと汝かくヨアブを勵ますべし
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.
ウリヤの妻其夫ウリヤの死たるを聞て夫のために悲哀り
27 And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
其喪の過し時ダビデ人を遣はしてかれをおのれの家に召いる彼すなはちその妻となりて男子を生り但しダビデの爲たる此事はヱホバの目に惡かりき
