< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
此後ダビデの子アブサロムにタマルと名くる美しき妹ありしがダビデの子アムノンこれを戀ひたり
2 And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
アムノン心を苦しめて遂に其姉妹タマルのためにわづらへり其はタマルは處女なりければアムノンかれに何事をも爲しがたしと思ひたればなり
3 Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
然るにアムノンに一人の朋友ありダビデの兄弟シメアの子にして其名をヨナダブといふヨナダブに甚だ有智き人なり
4 And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
彼アムノンにいひけるは汝王の子なんぞ日に日に斯く痩ゆくや汝我に告ざるやアムノン彼にいひけるは我わが兄弟アブサロムの妹タマルを戀ふ
5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
ヨナダブかれにいひけるは床に臥て病と佯り汝の父の來りて汝を見る時これにいへ請ふわが妹タマルをして來りて我に食を予へしめわが見て彼の手より食ふことをうる樣にわが目のまへにて食物を調理しめよと
6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
アムノンすなはち臥して病と佯りしが王の來りておのれを見る時アムノン王にいひけるは請ふ吾妹タマルをして來りてわが目のまへにて二の菓子を作へしめて我にかれの手より食ふことを得さしめよと
7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
是においてダビデ、タマルの家にいひつかはしけるは汝の兄アムノンの家にゆきてかれのために食物を調理よと
8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
タマル其兄アムノンの家にいたるにアムノンは臥し居たりタマル乃ち粉をとりて之を摶てかれの目のまへにて菓子を作へ其菓子を燒き
9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
鍋を取て彼のまへに傾出たりしかれども彼食ふことを否めりしかしてアムノンいひけるは汝ら皆我を離れていでよと皆かれをはなれていでたり
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
アムノン、タマルにいひけるは食物を寝室に持きたれ我汝の手より食はんとタマル乃ち己の作りたる菓子を取りて寝室に持ゆきて其兄アムノンにいたる
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
タマル彼に食しめんとて近く持いたれる時彼タマルを執へて之にいひけるは妹よ來りて我と寝よ
12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
タマルかれにいひける否兄上よ我を辱しむるなかれ是のごとき事はイスラエルに行はれず汝此愚なる事をなすべからず
13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
我は何處にわが恥辱を棄んか汝はイスラエルの愚人の一人となるべしされば請ふ王に語れ彼我を汝に予ざることなかるべしと
14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
然どもアムノン其言を聽ずしてタマルよりも力ありければタマルを辱しめてこれと偕に寝たりしが
15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
遂にアムノン甚だ深くタマルを惡むにいたる其かれを惡む所の惡みはかれを戀ひたるところの戀よりも大なり即ちアムノンかれにいひけるは起て往けよ
16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
かれアムノンにいひけるは我を返して此惡を作るなかれ是は汝がさきに我になしたる所の惡よりも大なりとしかれども聽いれず
17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
其側に仕ふる少者を呼ていひけるは汝此女をわが許より遣りいだして其後に戸を楗せと
18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
タマル振袖を着ゐたり王の女等の處女なるものは斯のごとき衣服をもて粧ひたりアムノンの侍者かれを外にいだして其後に戸を楗せり
19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
タマル灰を其首に蒙り着たる振袖を裂き手を首にのせて呼はりつつ去ゆけり
20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
其兄アブサロムかれにいひけるは汝の兄アムノン汝と偕に在しや然ど妹よ默せよ彼は汝の兄なり此事を心に留るなかれとかくてタマルは其兄アブサロムの家に凄しく住み居れり
21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
ダビデ王是等の事を悉く聞て甚だ怒れり
22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
アブサロムはアムノンにむかひて善も惡きも語ざりき其はアブサロム、アムノンを惡みたればたり是はかれがおのれの妹タマルを辱しめたるに由り
23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
全二年の後アブサロム、エフライムの邊なるバアルハゾルにて羊の毛を剪しめ居て王の諸子を悉く招けり
24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
アブサロム王の所にいりていひけるは視よ僕羊の毛を剪しめをるねがはくは王と王の僕等僕とともに來りたまへ
25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
王アブサロムに云けるは否わが子よ我儕を皆いたらしむるなかれおそらくは汝の費を多くせんアブサロム、ダビデを強ふしかれどもダビデ往ことを肯ぜずして彼を祝せり
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
アブサロムいひけるは若しからずば請ふわが兄アムノンをして我らとともに來らしめよ王かれにいひけるは彼なんぞ汝とともにゆくべけんやと
27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
されどアブサロムかれを強ければアムノンと王の諸子を皆アブサロムとともにゆかしめたり
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
爰にアブサロム其少者等に命じていひけるは請ふ汝らアムノンの心の酒によりて樂む時を視すましてわが汝等にアムノンを撃てと言ふ時に彼を殺せ懼るるなかれ汝等に之を命じたるは我にあらずや汝ら勇しく武くなれと
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
アブサロムの少者等アブサロムの命ぜしごとくアムノンになしければ王の諸子皆起て各其騾馬に乗て逃たり
30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
彼等が路にある時風聞ダビデにいたりていはくアブサロム王の諸子を悉く殺して一人も遺るものなしと
31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
王乃ち起ち其衣を裂きて地に臥す其臣僕皆衣を裂て其傍にたてり
32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
ダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナダブ答へていひけるは吾主よ王の御子等なる少年を皆殺したりと思たまふなかれアムノン獨り死るのみ彼がアブサロムの妹タマルを辱かしめたる日よりアブサロム此事をさだめおきたるなり
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
されば吾主王よ王の御子等皆死りといひて此事をおもひ煩ひたまふなかれアムノン獨死たるなればなりと
34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
斯てアブサロムは逃れたり爰に守望ゐたる少者目をあげて視たるに視よ山の傍よりして己の後の道より多くの人來れり
35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
ヨナダブ王にいひけるは視よ王の御子等來る僕のいへるがごとくしかりと
36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
彼語ることを終し時視よ王の子等來り聲をあげて哭り王と其僕等も皆大に甚く哭り
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
偖アブサロムは逃てゲシユルの王アミホデの子タルマイにいたるダビデは日々其子のために悲めり
38 And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
アブサロム逃てゲシユルにゆき三年彼處に居たり
39 And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
ダビデ王アブサロムに逢んと思ひ煩らふ其はアムノンは死たるによりてダビデかれの事はあきらめたればなり
