2 Samuel 11

1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.

年歸りて王等の戰に出る時におよびてダビデ、ヨアブおよび自己の臣僕並にイスラエルの全軍を遣はせり彼等アンモンの子孫を滅ぼしてラバを圍めりされどダビデはエルサレムに止りぬ

2 And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

爰に夕暮にダビデ其床より興きいでて王の家の屋蓋のうへに歩みしが屋蓋より一人の婦人の體をあらふを見たり其婦は觀るに甚だ美し

3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said: 'Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'

ダビデ人を遣して婦人を探らしめしに或人いふ此はエリアムの女ハテシバにてヘテ人ウリヤの妻なるにあらずやと

4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness; and she returned unto her house.

ダビデ乃ち使者を遣はして其婦を取る婦彼に來りて彼婦と寝たりしかして婦其不潔を清めて家に歸りぬ

5 And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said: 'I am with child.'

かくて婦孕みければ人をつかはしてダビデに告ていひけるは我子を孕めりと

6 And David sent to Joab, saying: 'Send me Uriah the Hittite.' And Joab sent Uriah to David.

是においてダビデ人をヨアブにつかはしてヘテ人ウリヤを我に遣はせといひければヨアブ、ウリヤをダビデに遣はせり

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

ウリヤ、ダビデにいたりしかばダビデこれにヨアブの如何なると民の如何なると戰爭の如何なるを問ふ

8 And David said to Uriah: 'Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.' And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of food from the king.

しかしてダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝の家に下りて足を洗へとウリヤ王の家を出るに王の贈物其後に從ひてきたる

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

然どウリヤは王の家の門に其主の僕等とともに寝ておのれの家にくだりいたらず

10 And when they had told David, saying: 'Uriah went not down unto his house', David said unto Uriah: 'Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?'

人々ダビデに告てウリヤ其家にくだり至らずといひければダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝は旅路をなして來れるにあらずや何故に自己の家にくだらざるや

11 And Uriah said unto David: 'The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.'

ウリヤ、ダビデにいひけるは櫃とイスラエルとユダは小屋の中に住まりわが主ヨアブとわが主の僕は野の表に陣を取るに我いかでわが家にゆきて食ひ飮しまた妻と寝べけけんや汝は生また汝の霊魂は活く我此事をなさじ

12 And David said to Uriah: 'Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart.' So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

ダビデ、ウリヤにいふ今日も此にとどまれ明日我汝を去しめんとウリヤ其日と次の日エルサレムにとどまりしが

13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk; and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

ダビデかれを召て其まへに食ひ飮せしめダビデかれを酔しめたり晩にいたりて彼出て其床に其主の僕と共に寝たりされどおのれの家にはくだりゆかざりき

14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

朝におよびてダビデ、ヨアブヘの書を認めて之をウリヤの手によりて遣れり

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying: 'Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.'

ダビデ其書に書ていはく汝らウリヤを烈しき戰の先鉾にいだしてかれの後より退きて彼をして戰死せしめよ

16 And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.

是においてヨアブ城邑を窺ひてウリヤをば其勇士の居ると知る所に置り

17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

城邑の人出てヨアブと戰ひしかばダビデの僕の中の數人仆れヘテ人ウリヤも死り

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

ヨアブ人をつかはして軍の事を悉くダビデに告げしむ

19 and he charged the messenger, saying: 'When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,

ヨアブ其使者に命じていひけるは汝が軍の事を皆王に語り終しとき

20 it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee: Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

王もし怒りを發して汝に汝らなんぞ戰はんとて城邑に近づきしや汝らは彼らが石墻の上より射ることを知らざりしや

21 who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say: Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'

ヱルベセテの子アビメレクを撃し者は誰なるや一人の婦が石垣の上より磨の上石を投て彼をテベツに殺せしにあらずや何ぞ汝ら城垣に近づきしやと言はば汝言べし汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤもまた死りと

22 So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.

使者ゆきてダビデにいたりヨアブが遣はしたるところのことをことごとく告げたり

23 And the messenger said unto David: 'The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.

使者ダビデにいひけるは敵我儕に手強かりしが城外にいでて我儕にいたりしかば我儕これに迫りて門の入口にまでいたれり

24 And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'

時に射手の者城垣の上より汝の僕を射たりければ王の僕の或者死に亦汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤも死りと

25 Then David said unto the messenger: 'Thus shalt thou say unto Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth in one manner or another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it; and encourage thou him.'

ダビデ使者にいひけるは斯汝ヨアブに言べし此事を憂ふるなかれ刀劍は此をも彼をも同じく殺すなり強く城邑を攻て戰ひ之を陷いるべしと汝かくヨアブを勵ますべし

26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.

ウリヤの妻其夫ウリヤの死たるを聞て夫のために悲哀り

27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

其喪の過し時ダビデ人を遣はしてかれをおのれの家に召いる彼すなはちその妻となりて男子を生り但しダビデの爲たる此事はヱホバの目に惡かりき
