2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom: 'Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night;
時にアヒトペル、アブサロムにいひけるは請ふ我に一萬二千の人を擇み出さしめよ我起て今夜ダビデの後を追ひ
2 and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;
彼が憊れて手弱なりし所を襲ふて彼をおびえしめん而して彼とともにをる民の逃ん時に我王一人を撃とり
3 and I will bring back all the people unto thee; when all shall have returned, save the man whom thou seekest, all the people will be in peace.'
總の民を爾に歸せしむべし夫衆の歸するは爾が求むる此人に依なれば民みな平穩になるべし
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
此言アブサロムの目とイスラエルの總の長老の目に的當と見えたり
5 Then said Absalom: 'Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.'
アブサロムいひけるはアルキ人ホシヤイをも召きたれ我等彼が言ふ所をも聞んと
6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spoke unto him, saying: 'Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner; shall we do after his saying? if not, speak thou.'
ホシヤイ乃ちアブサロムに至るにアブサロムかれにかたりていひけるはアヒトペル是のごとく言り我等其言を爲べきか若し可ずば爾言ふべし
7 And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.'
ホシヤイ、アブサロムにいひけるは此時にあたりてアヒトペルが授けし計略は善らず
8 Hushai said moreover: 'Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are embittered in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
ホシヤイまたいひけるは爾の知るごとく爾の父と其從者は勇士なり且彼等は野にて其子を奪れたる熊の如く其氣激怒をれり又爾の父は戰士なれば民と共に宿らざるべし
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some place; and it will come to pass, when they fall upon them at the first, and whosoever heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom;
彼は今何の穴にか何の處にか匿れをる若し數人の者手始に仆なば其を聞く者は皆アブサロムに從ふ者の中に敗ありと言はん
10 then even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
しからば獅子の心のごとき心ある勇猛き夫といふとも全く挫碎ん其はイスラエル皆爾の父の勇士にして彼とともにある者の勇猛き人なるをしればなり
11 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
我は計議るイスラエルをダンよりベエルシバにいたるまで海濱の沙の多きが如くに悉く爾の處につどへ集めて爾親ら戰陣に臨むべし
12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one.
我等彼の見出さるる處にて彼を襲ひ露の地に下るがごとく彼のうへに降らんしかして彼および彼とともにあるすべての人々を一人も遺さざるべし
13 Moreover, if he withdraw himself into a city, then shall all Israel bring up ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the valley until there be not one small stone found there.'
若し彼何かの城邑に集らばイスラエル皆繩を其城邑にかけ我等これを河に曳きたふして其處に一の小石も見えざらしむべしと
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said: 'The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.' — For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
アブサロムとイスラエルの人々皆アルキ人ホシヤイの謀計はアヒトペルの謀計よりも善しといふ其はヱホバ、アブサロムに禍を降さんとてヱホバ、アヒトペルの善き謀計を破ることを定めたまひたればなり
15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests: 'Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
爰にホシヤイ祭司ザドクとアビヤタルにいひけるはアヒトペル、アブサロムとイスラエルの長老等のために斯々に謀れりきた我は斯々に謀れり
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but in any wise pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.'
されば爾ら速に人を遣してダビデに告て今夜野の渡場に宿ることなく速に渡りゆけといへおそらくは王および倶にある民皆呑つくされん
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David; for they might not be seen to come into the city.
時にヨナタンとアヒマアズはエンロゲルに俟居たり是は城邑にいるを見られざらんとてなり爰に一人の仕女ゆきて彼等に告げければ彼らダビデ王に告んとて往く
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom; and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
しかるに一人の少者かれらを見てアブザロムにつげたりされど彼等二人は急ぎさりてバホリムの或人の家にいたる其人の庭に井ありてかれら其處にくだりければ
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and strewed groats thereon; and nothing was known.
婦蓋をとりて井の口のうへに掩け其上に擣たる麥をひろげたり故に事知れざりき
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house; and they said: 'Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' And the woman said unto them: 'They are gone over the brook of water.' And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
時にアブサロムの僕等其婦の家に來りていひけるはアヒマアズとヨナタンは何處にをるや婦かれらに彼人々は小川を濟れりといふかれら尋ねたれども見當ざればエルサレムに歸れり
21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David: 'Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
彼等が去し時かの二人は井よりのぼりて往てダビデ王に告げたり即ちダビデに言けるは起て速かに水を濟れ其はアヒトベル斯爾等について謀計を爲したればなりと
22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over the Jordan.
ダビデ起て己とともにある凡ての民とともにヨルダンを濟れり曙には一人もヨルダンを濟らざる者はなかりき
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and got him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
アヒトベルは其謀計の行れざるを見て其驢馬に鞍おき起て其邑に往て其家にいたり家の人に遺言して自ら縊れ死て其父の墓に葬らる
24 When David was come to Mahanaim, Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
爰にダビデ、マナハイムに至る又アブサロムは己とともにあるイスラエルの凡の人々とともにヨルダンを濟れり
25 And Absalom had set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Jesraelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
アブサロム、アマサをヨアブの代りに軍の長と爲りアマサは夫のナハシの女にてヨアブの母ゼルヤの妹なるアビガルに通じたるイシマエル人名はヱテルといふ人の子なり
26 And Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
かくてイスラエルとアブサロムはギレアデの地に陣どれり
27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
ダビデ、マハナイムにいたれる時アンモンの子孫の中なるラバのナハシの子シヨビとロデバルのアンミエルの子マキルおよびロゲリムのギレアデ人バルジライ
28 brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,
臥床と鍋釜と陶器と小麥と大麥と粉と烘麥と豆と小豆の烘たる者と
29 and honey, and curd, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat; for they said: 'The people is hungry, and faint, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
蜜と牛酪と羊と犢をダビデおよび倶にある民の食ふために持來れり其は彼等民は野にて饑憊れ渇くならんと謂たればなり
