< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 Then the Lord sent Nathan vnto Dauid, who came to him, and sayd vnto him, There were two men in one citie, the one riche, and the other poore.
ヱホバ、ナタンをダビデに遣はしたまへば彼ダビデに至りてこれにいひけるは一の邑に二箇の人あり一は富て一は貧し
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen:
其富者は甚だ多くの羊と牛を有り
3 But the poore had none at all, saue one litle sheepe which he had bought, and nourished vp: and it grew vp with him, and with his children also, and did eate of his owne morsels, and dranke of his owne cup, and slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his daughter.
されど貧者は唯自己の買て育てたる一の小き牝羔の外は何をも有ざりき其牝羔彼およびかれの子女とともに生長ちかれの食物を食ひかれの椀に飮みまた彼の懐に寝て彼には女子のごとくなりき
4 Now there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
時に一人の旅人其富る人の許に來りけるが彼おのれの羊と牛の中を取りてそのおのれに來れる旅人のために烹を惜みてかの貧き人の牝羔を取りて之をおのれに來れる人のために烹たり
5 Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye,
ダビデ其人の事を大に怒りてナタンにいひけるはヱホバは生く誠に此をなしたる人は死べきなり
6 And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
且彼此事をなしたるに因りまた憐憫まざりしによりて其牝羔を四倍になして償ふべし
7 Then Nathan sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of the hand of Saul,
ナタン、ダビデにいひけるは汝は其人なりイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我汝に膏を沃いでイスラエルの王となし我汝をサウルの手より救ひいだし
8 And gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things.
汝に汝の主人の家をあたへ汝の主人の諸妻を汝の懐に與へまたイスラエルとユダの家を汝に與へたり若し少からば我汝に種々の物を増くはへしならん
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde of the children of Ammon.
何ぞ汝ヱホバの言を藐視じて其目のまへに惡をなせしや汝刃劍をもてヘテ人ウリヤを殺し其妻をとりて汝の妻となせり即ちアンモンの子孫の劍をもて彼を斬殺せり
10 Now therefore the sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
汝我を軽んじてヘテ人ウリヤの妻をとり汝の妻となしたるに因て劍何時までも汝の家を離るることなかるべし
11 Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.
ヱホバ斯いひたまふ視よ我汝の家の中より汝の上に禍を起すべし我汝の諸妻を汝の目のまへに取て汝の隣人に與へん其人此日のまへにて汝の諸妻とともに寝ん
12 For thou diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
其は汝は密に事をなしたれど我はイスラエルの衆のまへと日のまへに此事をなすべければなりと
13 Then Dauid sayde vnto Nathan, I haue sinned against the Lord. And Nathan sayde vnto Dauid, The Lord also hath put away thy sinne, thou shalt not die.
ダビデ、ナタンにいふ我ヱホバに罪を犯したりナタン、ダビデにいひけるはヱホバまた汝の罪を除きたまへり汝死ざるべし
14 Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto thee shall surely die.
されど汝此所行によりてヱホバの敵に大なる罵る機會を與へたれば汝に生れし其子必ず死べしと
15 So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
かくてナタン其家にかへれり 爰にヱホバ、ウリヤの妻がダビデに生る子を撃たまひければ痛く疾めり
16 Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
ダビデ其子のために神に乞求む即ちダビデ斷食して入り終夜地に臥したり
17 Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate with them.
ダビデの家の年寄等彼の傍に立ちてかれを地より起しめんとせしかども彼肯ぜず又かれらとともに食を爲ざりき
18 So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more?
第七日に其子死りダビデの僕其子の死たることをダビデに告ることを恐れたりかれらいひけるは子の尚生る間に我儕彼に語たりしに彼我儕の言を聽いれざりき如何ぞ彼に其子の死たるを告ぐべけんや彼害を爲んと
19 But when Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, He is dead.
然にダビデ其僕の私語くを見てダビデ其子の死たるを暁れりダビデ乃ち其僕に子は死たるやといひければかれら死りといふ
20 Then Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate.
是においてダビデ地よりおきあがり身を洗ひ膏をぬり其衣服を更てヱホバの家にいりて拝し自己の家に至り求めておのれのために食を備へしめて食へり
21 Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate.
僕等彼にいひけるは此の汝がなせる所は何事なるや汝子の生るあひだはこれがために斷食して哭きながら子の死る時に汝は起て食を爲すと
22 And he sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue?
ダビデいひけるは嬰孩の尚生るあひだにわが斷食して哭きたるは我誰かヱホバの我を憐れみて此子を生しめたまふを知んと思ひたればなり
23 But now being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne to me.
されど今死たれば我なんぞ斷食すべけんや我再びかれをかへらしむるを得んや我かれの所に往べけれど彼は我の所にかへらざるべし
24 And Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued him.
ダビデ其妻バテシバを慰めかれの所にいりてかれとともに寝たりければ彼男子を生りダビデ其名をソロモンと呼ぶヱホバこれを愛したまひて
25 For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
預言者ナタンを遣はし其名をヱホバの故によりてヱデデア(ヱホバの愛する者)と名けしめたまふ
26 Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
爰にヨアブ、アンモンの子孫のラバを攻めて王城を取れり
27 Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
ヨアブ使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは我ラバを攻て水城を取れり
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me.
されば汝今餘の民を集め斯城に向て陣どりて之を取れ恐らくは我此城を取て人我名をもて之を呼にいたらんと
29 So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it.
是においてダビデ民を悉くあつめてラバにゆき攻て之を取り
30 And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance.
しかしてダビデ、アンモン王の冕を其首より取はなしたり其金の重は一タラントなりまた寶石を嵌たりこれをダビデの首に置ダビデ其邑の掠取物を甚だ多く持出せり
31 And he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
かくてダビデ其中の民を將いだしてこれを鋸と鐵の千歯と鐵の斧にて斬りまた瓦陶の中を通行しめたり彼斯のごとくアンモンの子孫の凡ての城邑になせりしかしてタビデと民は皆エルサレムに還りぬ
