< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
此後アンモンの子孫の王死て其子ハヌン之に代りて位に即く
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon
ダビデ我ナハシの子ハヌンにその父の我に恩惠を示せしごとく恩惠を示さんといひてダビデかれを其父の故によりて慰めんとて其僕を遣せりダビデの僕アンモンの子孫の地にいたるに
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their master, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
アンモンの子孫の諸伯其主ハヌンにいひけるはダビデ慰者を汝に遣はしたるによりて彼汝の父を崇むと汝の目に見ゆるやダビデ此城邑を窺ひこれを探りて陷いれんために其僕を汝に遣はせるにあらずや
4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
是においてハヌン、ダビデの僕を執へ其鬚の半を剃り落し其衣服を中より斷て股までにしてこれを歸せり
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
人々これをダビデに告たればダビデ人を遣はしてかれらを迎へしむ其人々大に恥たればなり即ち王いふ汝ら鬚の長るまでヱリコに止まりて然るのち歸るべしと
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
アンモンの子孫自己のダビデに惡まるるを見しかばアンモンの子孫人を遣はしてベテレホブのスリア人とゾバのスリア人の歩兵二萬人およびマアカの王より一千人トブの人より一萬二千人を雇いれたり
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
ダビデ聞てヨアブと勇士の惣軍を遣はせり
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
アンモンの子孫出て門の入口に軍の陣列をなしたりゾバとレホブのスリア人およびトブの人とマアカの人は別に野に居り
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
ヨアブ戰の前後より己に向ふを見てイスラエルの選抜の兵の中を選みてこれをスリア人に對ひて備へしめ
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
其餘の民をば其兄弟アビシヤイの手に交してアンモンの子孫に向て備へしめて
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
いひけるは若スリア人我に手強からば汝我を助けよ若アンモンの子孫汝に手剛からば我ゆきて汝をたすけん
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our Elohim: and YHWH do that which seemeth him good.
汝勇ましくなれよ我ら民のためとわれらの神の諸邑のために勇しく爲んねがはくはヱホバ其目によしと見ゆるところをなしたまへ
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
ヨアブ己と共に在る民と共にスリア人にむかひて戰んとて近づきければスリア人彼のまへより逃たり
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
アンモンの子孫スリア人の逃たるを見て亦自己等もアビシヤイのまへより逃て城邑にいりぬヨアブすなはちアンモンの子孫の所より還りてエルサレムにいたる
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
スリア人其イスラエルのまへに敗れたるを見て倶にあつまれり
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
ハダデゼル人をやりて河の前岸にをるスリア人を將ゐ出して皆ヘラムにきたらしむハダデゼルの軍の長シヨバクかれらを率ゐたり
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
其事ダビデに聞えければ彼イスラエルを悉く集めてヨルダンを渉りてヘラムに來れりスリア人ダビデに向ひて備へ之と戰ふ
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
スリア人イスラエルのまへより逃ければダビデ、スリアの兵車の人七百騎兵四萬を殺し又其軍の長シヨバクを撃てこれを其所に死しめたり
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
ハダデゼルの臣なる王等其イスラエルのまへに壞れたるを見てイスラエルと平和をなして之に事へたり斯スリア人は恐れて再びアンモンの子孫を助くることをせざりき
