2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
ヱホバ復イスラエルにむかひて怒を發しダビデを感動して彼等に敵對しめ往てイスラエルとユダを數へよと言しめたまふ
2 And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
王乃ちヨアブおよびヨアブとともにある軍長等にいひけるは請ふイスラエルの諸の支派の中をダンよりベエルシバに至るまで行めぐりて民を核べ我をして民の數を知しめよ
3 And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing?
ヨアブ王にいひけるは幾何あるともねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ民を百倍に増たまへ而して王わが主の目それを視るにいたれ然りといへども王わが主の此事を悦びたまふは何故ぞやと
4 But the king’s words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
されど王の言ヨアブと軍長等に勝ければヨアブと軍長等王の前を退きてイスラエルの民を核べに往り
5 And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
かれらヨルダンを濟りアロエルより即ち河の中の邑より始めてガドにいたりヤゼルにいたり
6 And by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by Sidon,
ギレアデにいたりタテムホデシの地にいたり又ダニヤンにいたりてシドンに旋り
7 They passed near the walls of Tyre, and all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
またツロの城にいたりヒビ人とカナン人の諸の邑にいたりユダの南に出てベエルシバにいたれり
8 And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
彼等國を徧く行めぐり九月と廿日を經てルサレムに至りぬ
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men.
ヨアブ人口の數を王に告たり即ちイスラエルに劍を抜く壯士八十萬ありき又ユダの人は五十萬ありき
10 But David’s heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
ダビデ民の數を書し後其心自ら責む是においてダビデ、ヱホバにいふ我これを爲して大に罪を犯したりねがはくはヱホバよ僕の罪を除きたまへ我甚だ愚なる事を爲りと
11 And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
ダビデ朝興し時ヱホバの言ダビデの先見者なる預言者ガデに臨みて曰く
12 Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
往てダビデに言へヱホバ斯いふ我汝に三を示す汝其一を擇べ我其を汝に爲んと
13 And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
ガデ、ダビデの許にいたりこれに告てこれにいひけるは汝の地に七年の饑饉いたらんか或は汝敵に追れて三月其前に遁んか或は爾の地に三日の疫病あらんか爾考へてわが如何なる答を我を遣はせし者に爲べきかを決めよ
14 And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.
ダビデ、ガデにいひけるは我大に苦しむ請ふ我儕をしてヱホバの手に陷らしめよ其憐憫大なればなり我をして人の手に陷らしむるなかれ
15 And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
是においてヱホバ朝より集會の時まで疫病をイスラエルに降したまふダンよりベエルシバまでに民の死る者七萬人なり
16 And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
天の使其手をエルサレムに伸てこれを滅さんとしたりしがヱホバ此害惡を悔て民を滅す天使にいひたまひけるは足り今汝の手を住めよと時にヱホバの使はヱブス人アラウナの禾場の傍にあり
17 And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father’s house.
ダビデ民を撃つ天使を見し時ヱホバに申していひけるは嗚呼我は罪を犯したり我は惡き事を爲たり然ども是等の羊群は何を爲たるや請ふ爾の手を我とわが父の家に對たまへと
18 And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
此日ガデ、ダビデの所にいたりてかれにいひけるは上りてヱブス人アラウナの禾場にてヱホバに壇を建よ
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
ダビデ、ガデの言に隨ひヱホバの命じたまひしごとくのぼれり
20 And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
アラウナ觀望て王と其臣僕の己の方に進み來るを見アラウナ出て王のまへに地に伏て拝せり
21 An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
かくてアラウナいひけるは何に因てか王わが主僕の所にきませるやダビデひけるは汝より禾場を買ひとりヱホバに壇を築きて民に降る災をとどめんとてなり
22 And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
アラウナ、ダビデにいひけるはねがはくは王わが主其目に善と見ゆるものを取て献げたまへ燔祭には牛あり薪には打禾車と牛の器ありと
23 All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
アラリナこれを悉く王に奉呈ぐアラウナ又王にねがはくは爾の神ヱホバ爾を受納たまはんことをといふ
24 And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:
王アラウナにいひけるは斯すべからず我必ず値をはらひて爾より買とらん我費なしに燔祭をわが神ヱホバに献ぐることをせじとダビデ銀五十シケルにて禾場と牛を買とれり
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
ダビデ其處にてヱホバに壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭を献げたり是においてヱホバ其地のために祈祷を聽たまひて災のイスラエルに降ること止りぬ
