2 Samuel 3
1 NOW there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
サウルの家とダビデの家の間の戰爭久しかりしがダビデは益強くなりサウルの家はますます弱くなれり
2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
ヘブロンにてダビデに男子等生る其首出の子はアムノンといひてヱズレル人アヒノアムより生る
3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
其次はギレアブといひてカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルより生る第三はアブサロムといひてゲシユルの王タルマイの女子マアカの子なり
4 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
第四はアドニヤといひてハギテの子なり第五はシバテヤといひてアビタルの子なり
5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
第六はイテレヤムといひてダビデの妻エグラの子なり是等の子ヘブロンにてダビデに生る
6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
サウルの家とダビデの家の間に戰爭ありし間アブネルは堅くサウルの家に荷擔り
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine?
嚮にサウル一人の妾を有り其名をリヅパといふアヤの女なり爰にイシボセテ、アブネルにいひけるは汝何ぞわが父の妾に通じたるや
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
アブネル甚しくイシボセテの言を怒りていひけるは我今日汝の父サウルの家とその兄弟とその朋友に厚意をあらはし汝をダビデの手にわたさざるに汝今日婦人の過を擧て我を責む我あに犬の首ならんやユダにくみする者ならんや
9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
神アブネルに斯なしまたかさねて斯なしたまへヱホバのダビデに誓ひたまひしごとく我かれに然なすべし
10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.
即ち國をサウルの家より移しダビデの位をダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルとユダの上にたてん
11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
イシボセテ、アブネルを恐れたればかさねて一言も之にこたふるをえざりき
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
アブネルおのれの代に使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは此地は誰の所有なるや又いひけるは汝我と契約を爲せ我力を汝に添へてイスラエルを悉く汝に歸せしめん
13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
ダビデいひけるは善し我汝と契約をなさん但し我一の事を汝に索む即ち汝來りてわが面を覿る時先づサウルの女ミカルを携きたらざれば我面を覿るを得じと
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
ダビデ使者をサウルの子イシボセテに遣していひけるはわがペリシテ人の陽皮一百を以て聘たるわが妻ミカルを我に交すべし
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
イシボセテ人をつかはしてかれを其夫ライシの子パルテより取しかば
16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
其夫哭つつ歩みて其後にしたがひて倶にバホリムにいたりしがアブネルかれに歸り往けといひければすなはち歸りぬ
17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
アブネル、イスラエルの長老等と語りていひけるは汝ら前よりダビデを汝らの王となさんことを求め居たり
18 Now then do it: for the Lord hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
されば今これをなすべし其はヱホバ、ダビデに付て語りて我わが僕ダビデの手を以てわが民イスラエルをペリシテ人の手よりまたその諸の敵の手より救ひいださんといひたまひたればなりと
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
アブネル亦ベニヤミンの耳に語れりしかしてアブネル自らイスラエルおよびベニヤミンの全家の善とおもふ所をヘブロンにてダビデの耳に告んとて往り
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
すなはちアブネル二十人をしたがへてヘブロンにゆきてダビデの許にいたりければダビデ、アブネルと其したがへる從者のために酒宴を設けたり
21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
アブネル、ダビデにいひけるは我起てゆきイスラエルをことごとくわが主王の所に集めて彼等に汝と契約を立しめ汝をして心の望む所の者をことごとく治むるにいたらしめんと是においてダビデ、アブネルを歸してかれ安然に去り
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
時にダビデの臣僕およびヨアブ人の國を侵して歸り大なる掠取物を携へきたれり然どアブネルはタビデとともにヘブロンにはをらざりき其はダビデかれを歸してかれ安然に去りたればなり
23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
ヨアブおよびともにありし軍兵皆かへりきたりしとき人々ヨアブに告ていひけるはネルの子アブネル王の所にきたりしが王かれを返してかれ安然にされりと
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
ヨアブ王に詣りていひけるは汝何を爲したるやアブネル汝の所にきたりしに汝何故にかれを返して去ゆかしめしや
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
汝ネルの子アブネルが汝を誑かさんとてきたり汝の出入を知りまた汝のすべて爲す所を知んために來りしを知ると
26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
かくてヨアブ、ダビデの所より出來り使者をつかはしてアブネルを追しめたれば使者シラの井よりかれを將返れりされどダビデは知ざりき
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
アブネル、ヘブロンに返りしかばヨアブ彼と密に語らんとてかれを門の内に引きゆき其處にてその腹を刺てこれを殺し己の兄弟アサヘルの血をむくいたり
28 And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
其後ダビデ聞ていひけるは我と我國はネルの子アブネルの血につきてヱホバのまへに永く罪あることなし
29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
其罪はヨアブの首と其父の全家に歸せよねがはくはヨアブの家には白濁を疾ものか癩病人か杖に倚ものか劍に仆るものか食物に乏しき者か絶ゆることあらざれと
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
ヨアブとその弟アビシヤイのアブネルを殺したるは彼がギベオンにて戰陣のうちにおのれの兄弟アサヘルをころせしによれり
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
ダビデ、ヨアブおよびおのれとともにある民にいひけるは汝らの衣服を裂き麻の衣を著てアブネルのために哀哭くべしとダビデ王其棺にしたがふ
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
人衆アブネルをヘブロンに葬れり王聲をあげてアブネルの墓に哭き又民みな哭けり
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
王アブネルの爲に悲の歌を作りて云くアブネル如何にして愚なる人の如くに死けん
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
汝の手は縛もあらず汝の足は鏈にも繋れざりしものを嗚呼汝は惡人のために仆る人のごとくにたふれたり斯て民皆再びかれのために哭けり
35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
民みな日のあるうちにダビデにパンを食はしめんとて來りしにダビデ誓ひていひけるは若し日の沒まへに我パンにても何にても味ひなば神我にかくなし又重ねて斯なしたまへと
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
民皆見て之を其目に善しとせり凡て王の爲すところの事は皆民の目に善と見えたり
37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
其日民すなはちイスラエル皆ネルの子アブネルを殺たるは王の所爲にあらざるを知れり
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
王その臣僕にいひけるは今日一人の大將大人イスラエルに斃る汝らこれをしらざるや
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the Lord shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
我は膏そそがれし王なれども今日尚弱しゼルヤの子等なる此等の人我には制しがたしヱホバ惡をおこな者に其惡に隨ひて報いたまはん
