Kings II 12
1 And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
ヱホバ、ナタンをダビデに遣はしたまへば彼ダビデに至りてこれにいひけるは一の邑に二箇の人あり一は富て一は貧し
2 And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
其富者は甚だ多くの羊と牛を有り
3 But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
されど貧者は唯自己の買て育てたる一の小き牝羔の外は何をも有ざりき其牝羔彼およびかれの子女とともに生長ちかれの食物を食ひかれの椀に飮みまた彼の懐に寝て彼には女子のごとくなりき
4 And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
時に一人の旅人其富る人の許に來りけるが彼おのれの羊と牛の中を取りてそのおのれに來れる旅人のために烹を惜みてかの貧き人の牝羔を取りて之をおのれに來れる人のために烹たり
5 And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
ダビデ其人の事を大に怒りてナタンにいひけるはヱホバは生く誠に此をなしたる人は死べきなり
6 And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
且彼此事をなしたるに因りまた憐憫まざりしによりて其牝羔を四倍になして償ふべし
7 And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;
ナタン、ダビデにいひけるは汝は其人なりイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我汝に膏を沃いでイスラエルの王となし我汝をサウルの手より救ひいだし
8 and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
汝に汝の主人の家をあたへ汝の主人の諸妻を汝の懐に與へまたイスラエルとユダの家を汝に與へたり若し少からば我汝に種々の物を増くはへしならん
9 Why have you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
何ぞ汝ヱホバの言を藐視じて其目のまへに惡をなせしや汝刃劍をもてヘテ人ウリヤを殺し其妻をとりて汝の妻となせり即ちアンモンの子孫の劍をもて彼を斬殺せり
10 Now therefore the sword shall not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your wife.
汝我を軽んじてヘテ人ウリヤの妻をとり汝の妻となしたるに因て劍何時までも汝の家を離るることなかるべし
11 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
ヱホバ斯いひたまふ視よ我汝の家の中より汝の上に禍を起すべし我汝の諸妻を汝の目のまへに取て汝の隣人に與へん其人此日のまへにて汝の諸妻とともに寝ん
12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
其は汝は密に事をなしたれど我はイスラエルの衆のまへと日のまへに此事をなすべければなりと
13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
ダビデ、ナタンにいふ我ヱホバに罪を犯したりナタン、ダビデにいひけるはヱホバまた汝の罪を除きたまへり汝死ざるべし
14 Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.
されど汝此所行によりてヱホバの敵に大なる罵る機會を與へたれば汝に生れし其子必ず死べしと
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
かくてナタン其家にかへれり 爰にヱホバ、ウリヤの妻がダビデに生る子を撃たまひければ痛く疾めり
16 And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
ダビデ其子のために神に乞求む即ちダビデ斷食して入り終夜地に臥したり
17 And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
ダビデの家の年寄等彼の傍に立ちてかれを地より起しめんとせしかども彼肯ぜず又かれらとともに食を爲ざりき
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
第七日に其子死りダビデの僕其子の死たることをダビデに告ることを恐れたりかれらいひけるは子の尚生る間に我儕彼に語たりしに彼我儕の言を聽いれざりき如何ぞ彼に其子の死たるを告ぐべけんや彼害を爲んと
19 And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
然にダビデ其僕の私語くを見てダビデ其子の死たるを暁れりダビデ乃ち其僕に子は死たるやといひければかれら死りといふ
20 Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
是においてダビデ地よりおきあがり身を洗ひ膏をぬり其衣服を更てヱホバの家にいりて拝し自己の家に至り求めておのれのために食を備へしめて食へり
21 And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
僕等彼にいひけるは此の汝がなせる所は何事なるや汝子の生るあひだはこれがために斷食して哭きながら子の死る時に汝は起て食を爲すと
22 And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
ダビデいひけるは嬰孩の尚生るあひだにわが斷食して哭きたるは我誰かヱホバの我を憐れみて此子を生しめたまふを知んと思ひたればなり
23 But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
されど今死たれば我なんぞ斷食すべけんや我再びかれをかへらしむるを得んや我かれの所に往べけれど彼は我の所にかへらざるべし
24 And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
ダビデ其妻バテシバを慰めかれの所にいりてかれとともに寝たりければ彼男子を生りダビデ其名をソロモンと呼ぶヱホバこれを愛したまひて
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
預言者ナタンを遣はし其名をヱホバの故によりてヱデデア(ヱホバの愛する者)と名けしめたまふ
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
爰にヨアブ、アンモンの子孫のラバを攻めて王城を取れり
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
ヨアブ使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは我ラバを攻て水城を取れり
28 And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
されば汝今餘の民を集め斯城に向て陣どりて之を取れ恐らくは我此城を取て人我名をもて之を呼にいたらんと
29 And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
是においてダビデ民を悉くあつめてラバにゆき攻て之を取り
30 And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
しかしてダビデ、アンモン王の冕を其首より取はなしたり其金の重は一タラントなりまた寶石を嵌たりこれをダビデの首に置ダビデ其邑の掠取物を甚だ多く持出せり
31 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
かくてダビデ其中の民を將いだしてこれを鋸と鐵の千歯と鐵の斧にて斬りまた瓦陶の中を通行しめたり彼斯のごとくアンモンの子孫の凡ての城邑になせりしかしてタビデと民は皆エルサレムに還りぬ
