1 Kings 1
1 King David had grown old and couldn't keep warm in bed however many blankets they used to cover him.
爰にダビデ王年邁みて老い寝衣を衣するも温らざりければ
2 So his officials suggested, “Let a search be made on behalf of Your Majesty for a young virgin to serve you and look after you. She can lie next to you and keep you warm.”
其臣僕等彼にいひけるは王わが主のために一人の若き處女を求めしめて之をして王のまへにたちて王の左右となり汝の懐に臥て王わが主を暖めしめんと
3 So they searched the whole country of Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag from the town of Shunem and took her to the king.
彼等乃ちイスラエルの四方の境に美き童女を求めてシユナミ人アビシヤグを得て之を王に携きたれり
4 She was very beautiful, and she looked after the king, attending to his needs, but he did not have sex with her.
此童女甚だ美くして王の左右となり王に事たり然ど王之と交はらざりき
5 Adonijah, son of Haggith, was busy promoting himself, saying “I'm going to be king!” He arranged chariots and horsemen for himself, and fifty men to run ahead of him.
時にハギテの子アドニヤ自ら高くし我は王とならんと言て己のために戰車と騎兵および自己のまへに驅る者五十人を備へたり
6 (Never in his life had his father corrected him. He'd never asked him, “Why did you do that?” He was also very good-looking, and had been born after Absalom.)
其父は彼が生れてより已來汝何故に然するやと言てかれを痛しめし事なかりきアドニヤも亦容貌の甚だ美き者にてアブサロムの次に生れたり
7 Adonijah discussed his plan with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, who agreed to support him.
彼ゼルヤの子ヨアブおよび祭司アビヤタルと商議ひしかば彼等之に從ひゆきて助けたり
8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguard were not on Adonijah's side.
されど祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと預言者ナタンおよびシメイとレイならびにダビデに屬したる勇士はアドニヤに與せざりき
9 Adonijah invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and the king's officials of Judah, to come to the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En-rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves.
アドニヤ、エンロゲルの近邊なるゾヘレテの石の傍にて羊と牛と肥畜を宰りて王の子なる己の兄弟および王の臣僕なるユダの人を盡く請けり
10 But he didn't invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, David's bodyguard, or his brother Solomon.
されども預言者ナタンとベナヤと勇士とおのれの兄弟ソロモンとをば招かざりき
11 Nathan went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and asked her, “Haven't you heard that Adonijah, son of Haggith, has become king, and His Majesty King David doesn't even know?
爰にナタン、ソロモンの母バテシバに語りていひけるは汝ハギテの子アドニヤが王となれるを聞ざるかしかるにわれらの主ダビデはこれを知ざるなり
12 Let me give you some advice so you can save your life, and that of your son Solomon.
されば請ふ來れ我汝に計を授て汝をして己の生命と汝の子ソロモンの生命を救しめん
13 Go immediately to King David and ask him, ‘Didn't Your Majesty swear to me, your servant, saying, Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne? So why is Adonijah saying he's king?’
汝往てダビデ王の所に入り之にいへ王わが主よ汝は婢に誓ひて汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんといひたまひしにあらずや然にアドニヤ何故に王となれるやと
14 Then I'll come in while you're still there talking with the king and I'll confirm what you're saying.”
われまた汝が尚其處にて王と語ふ時に汝に次て入り汝の言を證すべしと
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old and Abishag was looking after him.
是においてバテシバ寝室に入りて王の所にいたるに王は甚だ老てシユナミ人アビシヤグ王に事へ居たり
16 Bathsheba bowed low in respect. He asked her, “What is it that you want?”
バテシバ躬を鞠め王を拝す王いふ何なるや
17 She replied, “Your Majesty, you swore to me, your servant, by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
かれ王にいひけるはわが主汝は汝の神ヱホバを指て婢に汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんと誓ひたまへり
18 But now Adonijah has become king and Your Majesty doesn't even know.
しかるに視よ今アドニヤ王となれり而て王わが主汝は知たまはず
19 He has sacrificed plenty of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the army commander. But he didn't invite your servant Solomon.
彼は牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子および祭司アビヤタルと軍の長ヨアブを招けりされど汝の僕ソロモンをば招かざりき
20 Now, Your Majesty, everyone in Israel is watching to see who you're going to say will be the next king.
汝王わが主よイスラエルの目皆汝に注ぎ汝が彼等に誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを告るを望む
21 If you don't do anything, as soon as Your Majesty dies, I and my son Solomon will be considered traitors…”
王わが主の其父祖と共に寝たまはん時に我とわが子ソロモンは罪人と見做さるるにいたらんと
22 Right then, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
バテシバ尚王と語ふうちに視よ預言者ナタンも亦入きたりければ
23 The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan went in to see the king. He bowed down with his face to the ground.
人々王に告て預言者ナタン此にありと曰ふ彼王のまへに入り地に伏て王を拝せり
24 Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
しかしてナタンいひけるは王わが主汝はアドニヤ我に継で王となりわが位に坐すべしといひたまひしや
25 For today he has gone and sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him, shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
彼は今日下りて牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子と軍の長等と祭司アビヤタルを招けりしかして彼等はアドニヤのまへに飮食してアドニヤ王壽かれと言ふ
26 But he didn't invite me, your servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
されど汝の僕なる我と祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと汝の僕ソロモンとは彼請かざるなり
27 If Your Majesty did this, you certainly didn't inform your officials as to who is meant to sit on your throne as the next king.”
此事は王わが主の爲たまふ所なるかしかるに汝誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを僕に知せたまはざるなりと
28 King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.
ダビデ王答ていふバテシバをわが許に召せと彼乃ち王のまへに入て王のまへにたつに
29 The king swore a vow, saying, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all kinds of trouble, just as I swore to you previously by the Lord the God of Israel,
王誓ひていひけるはわが生命を諸の艱難の中に救ひたまひしヱホバは活く
30 telling you Solomon your son will be the next king and he will sit on my throne instead of me—I swear I will do this today.”
我イスラエルの神ヱホバを指て誓ひて汝の子ソロモン我に継で王となり我に代りてわが位に坐すべしといひしごとくに我今日爲すべしと
31 Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
是においてバテシバ躬を鞠め地に伏て王を拝し願くはわが主ダビデ王長久に生ながらへたまへといふ
32 Then King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada.” When they arrived,
ダビデ王いひけるはわが許に祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤを召と彼等乃ち王のまへに來る
33 the king told them, “Take the king's officials with you, and have them put Solomon on my own mule and lead him down to the Gihon Spring.
王彼等にいひけるは汝等の主の臣僕を伴ひわが子ソロモンをわが身の騾に乗せ彼をギホンに導き下り
34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king of Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout out, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
彼處にて祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンは彼に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの上に王と爲すべししかして汝ら喇叭を吹てソロモン王壽かれと言へ
35 Then follow him back up, and have him come and sit on my throne. He is to be king instead of me. I am placing him in charge as ruler of Israel and Judah.”
かくして汝ら彼に隨ひて上り來るべし彼は來りてわが位に坐し我に代りて王となるべし我彼を立てイスラエルとユダの上に主君となせりと
36 “Amen!” replied Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, confirm this!
ヱホヤダの子ベナヤ王に對へていひけるはアメンねがはくは王わが主の神ヱホバ然言たまはんことを
37 In the same way the Lord was with my lord the king may he be with Solomon, and may he make his reign even greater than the reign of my lord King David.”
ねがはくはヱホバ王わが主とともに在せしごとくソロモンとともに在してその位をわが主ダビデ王の位よりも大ならしめたまはんことを
38 Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, together with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went and placed Solomon on King David's mule, and led him down to the Gihon Spring.
斯て祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人下りソロモンをダビデ王の騾に乗せて之をギホンに導きいたれり
39 Zadok the priest took the horn containing olive oil from the Tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
しかして祭司ザドク幕屋の中より膏の角を取てソロモンに膏そそげりかくて喇叭を吹きならし
40 Everyone followed him, playing flutes and celebrating so happily that the sound shook the earth.
民みなソロモン王壽かれと言り民みなかれに隨ひ上りて笛を吹き大に喜祝ひ地はかれらの聲にて裂たり
41 Adonijah and all his guests heard the noise as they were finishing eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked, “What's all this noise coming from the city?”
アドニヤおよび彼とともに居たる賓客其食を終たる時に皆これを聞りヨアブ喇叭の聲を聞ていひけるは城邑の中の聲音何ぞ喧囂やと
42 While he was speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, suddenly arrived. “Come on in,” said Adonijah. “A good man like you must be bringing good news.”
彼が言をる間に視よ祭司アビヤタルの子ヨナタン來るアドニヤ彼にいひけるは入よ汝は勇ある人なり嘉音を持きたれるならん
43 “Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king!
ヨナタン答へてアドニヤにいひけるは誠にわが主ダビデ王ソロモンを王となしたまへり
44 He sent Solomon to be anointed with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites. They had him ride on the king's mule.
王祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人をソロモンとともに遣したまふ即ち彼等はソロモンを王の騾に乗せてゆき
45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king at the Gihon Spring. Now they have returned, celebrating with shouts that echo round the city. That's the noise you're hearing.
祭司ザドクと預言者ナタン、ギホンにて彼に膏をそそぎて王となせり而して彼等其處より歓て上るが故に城邑は諠囂し汝らが聞る聲音は是なり
46 On top of that, Solomon is sitting on the royal throne,
又ソロモン國の位に坐し
47 and the royal officials have also gone to voice their approval to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon's reputation even more famous than your own, and may he make his reign greater than your reign.’ The king on his bed bowed his head,
且王の臣僕來りてわれらの主ダビデ王に祝を陳て願くは汝の神ソロモンの名を汝の名よりも美し其位を汝の位よりも大たらしめたまへと言りしかして王は牀の上にて拝せり
48 and said, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Today he has provided a successor to sit on my throne, and I have been privileged to see it.’”
王また斯いへりイスラエルの神ヱホバはほむべきかなヱホバ今日わが位に坐する者を與たまひてわが目亦これを見るなりと
49 When all of the guests who were supporting Adonijah heard this they shook with fear. They got up and rushed out in different directions.
アドニヤとともにある賓客皆驚愕き起て各其途に去りゆけり
50 Adonijah was terrified of Solomon, so he ran off. He went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
茲にアドニヤ、ソロモンの面を恐れ起て往き壇の角を執へたり
51 Solomon was told, “Adonijah is terrified of Your Majesty. He has grabbed hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear today that he won't kill me, his servant!’”
或人ソロモンに告ていふアドニヤ、ソロモン王を畏る彼壇の角を執て願くはソロモン王今日我に劍をもて僕を殺じと誓ひ給へと言たりと
52 Solomon replied, “If he is an honorable man, not one hair of his will fall to the ground. But if he shows himself to be evil, he will die.”
ソロモンいひけるは彼もし善人となるならば其髮の毛一すぢも地におちざるべし然ど彼の中に惡の見るあらば死しむべしと
53 King Solomon had Adonijah brought down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who told him, “Go home.”
ソロモン王乃ち人を遣て彼を壇より携下らしむ彼來りてソロモン王を拝しければソロモン彼に汝の家に往といへり
