< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites.
ダビデの世に年復年と三年饑饉ありければダビデ、ヱホバに問にヱホバ言たまひけるは是はサウルと血を流せる其家のためなり其は彼嘗てギベオン人を殺したればなりと
2 Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: I and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were for the children of Israel and Juda: )
是において王ギベオン人を召てかれらにいへりギベオン人はイスラエルの子孫にあらずアモリ人の殘餘なりしがイスラエルの子孫昔彼等に誓をなしたり然るにサウル、イスラエルとユダの子孫に熱心なるよりして彼等を殺さんと求めたり
3 David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
即ちダビデ、ギベオン人にいひけるは我汝等のために何を爲すべきか我何の賠償を爲さば汝等ヱホバの產業を祝するや
4 And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you?
ギベオン人彼にいひけるは我儕はサウルと其家の金銀を取じ又汝は我らのためにイスラエルの中の人一人をも殺すなかれダビデいひけるは汝等が言ふ所は我汝らのために爲ん
5 And they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock in all the coasts of Israel.
彼等王にいひけるは我儕を滅したる人我儕を殲してイスラエルの境の中に居留ざらしめんとて我儕にむかひて謀を設けし人
6 Let seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of the Lord. And the king said: I will give them.
請ふ其人の子孫七人を我儕に與へよ我儕ヱホバの選みたるサウルのギベアにて彼等をヱホバのまへに懸ん王いふ我與ふべしと
7 And the king spared Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord, that had been between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
されど王サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテを惜めり是は彼等のあひだ即ちダビデとサウルの子ヨナタンとの間にヱホバを指して爲る誓あるに因り
8 So the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the five sons of Michol the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Hadriel the son of Berzellai, that was of Molathi:
されど王アヤの女リヅパがサウルに生し二人の子アルモニとメピボセテおよびサウルの女メラブがメホラ人バルジライの子アデリエルに生し五人の子を取りて
9 And gave them into the hands of the Gabaonites: and they crucified them on a hill before the Lord: and these seven died together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley began to be reaped.
かれらをギベオン人の手に與へければギベオン人かれらを山の上にてヱホバの前に懸たり彼等七人倶に斃れて刈穫の初日即ち大麥刈の初時に死り
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took haircloth, and spread it under her upon the rock from the beginning of the harvest, till water dropped upon them out of heaven: and suffered neither the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
アヤの女リヅパ麻布を取りて刈穫の初時より其屍上に天より雨ふるまでこれをおのれのために磐の上に布きおきて晝は空の鳥を屍の上に止らしめず夜は野の獣をちかよらしめざりき
11 And it was told David, what Respha the daughter of Aia, the concubine of Saul, had done.
爰にアヤの女サウルの妾リヅパの爲しことダビデに聞えければ
12 And David went, and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabes Galaad, who had stolen them from the street of Bethsan, where the Philistines had hanged them when they had slain Saul in Gelboe.
ダビデ往てサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨をヤベシギレアデの人々の所より取り是はペリシテ人がサウルをギルボアに殺してベテシヤンの衢に懸たるをかれらが竊みさりたるものなり
13 And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified,
ダビデ其處よりサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨を携へ上れりまた人々其懸られたる者等の骨を斂たり
14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things.
かくてサウルと其子ヨナタンの骨をベニヤミンの地のゼラにて其父キシの墓に葬り都て王の命じたる所を爲り比より後神其地のため祈祷を聽たまへり
15 And the Philistines made war again against Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David growing faint,
ペリシテ人復イスラエルと戰爭を爲すダビデ其臣僕とともに下りてペリシテ人と戰ひけるがダビデ困憊居りければ
16 Jesbibenob, who was of the race of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, being girded with a new sword, attempted to kill David.
イシビベノブ、ダビデを殺さんと思へり(イシビベノブは巨人の子等の一人にて其槍の銅の重は三百シケルあり彼新しき劒を帶たり)
17 And Abisai the son of Sarvia rescued him, and striking the Philistine killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying: Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou put out the lamp of Israel.
しかれどもゼルヤの子アビシヤイ、ダビデを助けて其ペリシテ人を撃ち殺せり是においてダビデの從者かれに誓ひていひけるは汝は再我儕と共に戰爭に出べからず恐らくは爾イスラエルの燈光を消さんと
18 There was also a second battle in Gob against the Philistines: then Sobochai of Husathi slew Saph of the race of Arapha of the family of the giants.
此後再びゴブにおいてペリシテ人と戰あり時にホシヤ人シベカイ巨人の子等の一人なるサフを殺せり
19 And there was a third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
爰に復ゴブにてペリシテ人と戰あり其處にてベテレヘム人ヤレオレギムの子エルハナン、ガテのゴリアテの兄弟ラミを殺せり其槍の柄は機の梁の如くなりき
20 A fourth battle was in Geth. where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha.
又ガテに戰ありしが其處に一人の身長き人あり手には各六の指あり足には各六の指ありて其數合せて二十四なり彼もまた巨人の生る者なり
21 And he reproached Israel: and Jonathan the son of Samae the brother of David slew him.
彼イスラエルを挑みしかばダビデに兄弟シメアの子ヨナタン彼を殺せり
22 These four were born of Arapha in Geth, and they fell by the hand of David, and of his servants.
是らの四人はガテにて巨人の生るものなりしがダビデの手と其臣僕の手に斃れたり
