2 Samuel 16
1 After David had gone a little way past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, waiting to meet him. He had two donkeys already saddled with him carrying two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred raisin cakes, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
ダビデ少しく嶺を過ゆける時視よメピボセテの僕ヂバ鞍おける二頭の驢馬を引き其上にパン二百乾葡萄一百球乾棗の團塊一百酒一嚢を載きたりてダビデを迎ふ
2 “What did you bring these for?” David asked Ziba. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king's family to ride on, the bread and summer fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who get worn out in the wilderness.”
王ヂバにいひけるは此等は何なるかヂバいひけるは驢馬は王の家族の乗るためパンと乾棗は少者の食ふため洒は野に困憊たる者の飮むためなり
3 “Where is your master's grandson?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He decided to stay in Jerusalem. He's saying, ‘Today the people of Israel will give me back my grandfather's kingdom.’”
王いひけるは爾の主人の子は何處にあるやヂバ王にいひけるはかれはエルサレムに止まる其は彼イスラエルの家今日我父の國を我にかへさんと言をればなり
4 The king told Ziba, “I give you everything that belongs to Mephibosheth!” “I bow before you,” Ziba replied. “May you approve of me, Your Majesty.”
王ヂバにいひけるは視よメピボセテの所有は悉く爾の所有となるべしヂバいひけるは我拝す王わが主よ我をして爾のまへに恩を蒙むらしめたまへ
5 As King David arrived at the town of Bahurim, a man from Saul's family was just leaving. His name was Shimei, son of Gera, and he was shouting out curses as he came.
斯てダビデ王バホリムにいたるに視よ彼處よりサウルの家の族の者一人出きたる其名をシメイといふゲラの子なり彼出きたりて來りつつ詛へり
6 He threw stones at David and all the king's officers, even though the king's men and all his bodyguards surrounded David.
又彼ダビデとダビデ王の諸の臣僕にむかひて石を投たり時に民と勇士皆王の左右にあり
7 “Get out of here, just get out, you murderer, you wicked man!” Shimei said as he cursed.
シメイ詛の中に斯いへり汝血を流す人よ爾邪なる人よ出され出され
8 “The Lord has paid you back for all of Saul's family that you killed, and for stealing Saul's throne. The Lord has given the kingdom to your son Absalom. Look how you've ended up in disaster because you're a murderer!”
爾が代りて位に登りしサウルの家の血を凡てヱホバ爾に歸したまへりヱホバ國を爾の子アブサロムの手に付したまへり視よ爾は血を流す人なるによりて禍患の中にあるなり
9 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, asked the king, “Why should this dead dog curse Your Majesty? Let me go and cut off his head!”
ゼルヤの子アビシヤイ王にいひけるは此死たる犬なんぞ王わが主を詛ふべけんや請ふ我をして渉りゆきてかれの首を取しめよ
10 “What's that got to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?” the king replied. “If he's cursing me because the Lord told him to, then who can question what he's doing?”
王いひけるはゼルヤの子等よ爾らの與るところにあらず彼の詛ふはヱホバ彼にダビデを詛へと言たまひたるによるなれば誰か爾なんぞ然するやと言べけんや
11 David said to Abishai and to all his officers, “Look, if my very own son is trying to kill me, why shouldn't this Benjamite want to even more! Leave him alone; let him curse me, for the Lord told him to.
ダビデ又アビシヤイおよび己の諸の臣僕にいひけるは視よわが身より出たるわが子わが生命を求む况や此ベニヤミン人をや彼を聽して詛はしめよヱホバ彼に命じたまへるなり
12 Perhaps the Lord will see how I'm suffering and will pay me back with good for his curses today.”
ヱホバわが艱難を俯視みたまふことあらん又ヱホバ今日彼の詛のために我に善を報いたまふことあらんと
13 David and his men continued down the road, with Shimei keeping up with them on the hillside opposite. He went on cursing as he went along, throwing stones and dirt at David.
斯てダビデと其從者途を行けるにシメイはダビデに對へる山の傍に行て行つつ詛ひまた彼にむかひて石を投げ塵を揚たり
14 The king and everyone with him were tired out when they arrived at the Jordan. David rested there.
王および倶にある民皆アエピムに來りて彼處に息をつげり
15 In the meantime Absalom and all the Israelites with him arrived in Jerusalem, along with Ahithophel.
偖アブサロムと總ての民イスラエルの人々エルサレムに至れりアヒトペルもアブサロムとともにいたる
16 Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, went to see Absalom and declared, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
ダビデの友なるアルキ人ホシヤイ、アブサロムの許に來りし時アブサロムにいふ願くは王壽かれ願くは王壽かれ
17 “Is this how you show loyalty to your friend?” Absalom asked. “Why didn't you leave with your friend?”
アブサロム、ホシヤイにいひけるは此は爾が其友に示す厚意なるや爾なんぞ爾の友と往ざるやと
18 “Certainly not!” Hushai replied. “I'm on the side of the one chosen by the Lord, by the army, and by all the people of Israel. I will remain loyal to him.
ホシヤイ、アブサロムにいひけるは然らずヱホバと此民とイスラエルの總の人々の選む者に我は屬し且其人とともに居るべし
19 In any case, why shouldn't I serve his son? In the same way I served your father I will serve you.”
且又我誰に事ふべきか其子の前に事べきにあらずや我は爾の父のまへに事しごとく爾のまへに事べし
20 Then Absalom asked Ahithophel, “Give me your advice. What shall we do?”
爰にアブサロム、アヒトベルにいひけるは我儕如何に爲べきか爾等計を爲すべしと
21 Ahithophel told him, “Go and sleep with your father's concubines—the ones he left here to look after the palace. Then everyone in Israel will realize that you have so offended your father there's no turning back, which will encourage all your supporters.”
アヒトペル、アブサロムにいひけるは爾の父が遺して家を守らしむる妾等の處に入れ然ばイスラエル皆爾が其父に惡まるるを聞ん而して爾とともにをる總の者の手強くなるべしと
22 So they put up a tent on the palace roof and Absalom went in and had sex with his father's concubines in the full view of everyone.
是において屋脊にアブサロムのために天幕を張ければアブサロム、イスラエルの目のまへにて其父の妾等の處に入りぬ
23 At that time Ahithophel's advice was like receiving messages from God himself. This was how both David and Absalom viewed Ahithophel's advice.
當時アヒトペルが謀れる謀計は神の言に問たるごとくなりきアヒトペルの謀計は皆ダビデとアブサロムとに倶に是のごとく見えたりき
