2 Samuel 4
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were affrighted.
サウルの子はアブネルのヘブロンにて死たるを聞きしかば其手弱くなりてイスラエルみな憂へたり
2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin;
サウルの子隊長二人を有てり其一人をバアナといひ一人をレカブといふベニヤミンの支派なるベロテ人リンモンの子等なり其はベロテも亦ベニヤミンの中に數らるればなり
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.
昔にペロテ人ギツタイムに逃遁れて今日にいたるまで彼處に旅人となりて止まる
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
サウルの子ヨナタンに跛足の子一人ありヱズレルよりサウルとヨナタンの事の報いたりし時には五歳なりき其乳媼かれを抱きて逃れたりしが急ぎ逃る時其子堕て跛者となれり其名をメピボセテといふ
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
ベロテ人リンモンの子レカブとバアナゆきて日の熱き頃イシボセテの家にいたるにイシボセテ午睡し居たり
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the groin; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
かれら麥を取らんといひて家の中にいりきたりかれの腹を刺りしかしてレカブと其兄弟バアナ逃げさりぬ
7 Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
彼等が家にいりしときイシボセテは其寝室にありて床の上に寝たりかれら即ちこれをうちころしこれを馘りて其首級をとり終夜アラバの道をゆきて
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king: 'Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.'
イシボセテの首級をヘブロンにダビデの許に携へいたりて王にいひけるは汝の生命を求めたる汝の敵サウルの子イシボセテの首を視よヱホバ今日我主なる王の仇をサウルと其裔に報いたまへりと
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
ダビデ、ベロテ人リンモンの子レカブと其兄弟バアナに答へ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生く
10 when one told me, saying: Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, instead of giving a reward for his tidings.
我は嘗て人の我に告て視よサウルは死りと言ひて自ら我に善き事を傳ふる者と思ひをりしを執てこれをチクラグに殺し其消息に報いたり
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?'
况や惡人の義人を其家の床の上に殺したるをやされば我彼の血をながせる罪を汝らに報い汝らをこの地より絶ざるべけんやと
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
ダビデ少者に命じければ少者かれらを殺して其手足を切離しヘブロンの池の上に懸たり又イシボセテの首を取りてヘブロンにあるアブネルの墓に葬れり
