< Kings II 13 >
1 And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
此後ダビデの子アブサロムにタマルと名くる美しき妹ありしがダビデの子アムノンこれを戀ひたり
2 And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
アムノン心を苦しめて遂に其姉妹タマルのためにわづらへり其はタマルは處女なりければアムノンかれに何事をも爲しがたしと思ひたればなり
3 And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.
然るにアムノンに一人の朋友ありダビデの兄弟シメアの子にして其名をヨナダブといふヨナダブに甚だ有智き人なり
4 And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
彼アムノンにいひけるは汝王の子なんぞ日に日に斯く痩ゆくや汝我に告ざるやアムノン彼にいひけるは我わが兄弟アブサロムの妹タマルを戀ふ
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
ヨナダブかれにいひけるは床に臥て病と佯り汝の父の來りて汝を見る時これにいへ請ふわが妹タマルをして來りて我に食を予へしめわが見て彼の手より食ふことをうる樣にわが目のまへにて食物を調理しめよと
6 So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
アムノンすなはち臥して病と佯りしが王の來りておのれを見る時アムノン王にいひけるは請ふ吾妹タマルをして來りてわが目のまへにて二の菓子を作へしめて我にかれの手より食ふことを得さしめよと
7 And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.
是においてダビデ、タマルの家にいひつかはしけるは汝の兄アムノンの家にゆきてかれのために食物を調理よと
8 And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
タマル其兄アムノンの家にいたるにアムノンは臥し居たりタマル乃ち粉をとりて之を摶てかれの目のまへにて菓子を作へ其菓子を燒き
9 And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
鍋を取て彼のまへに傾出たりしかれども彼食ふことを否めりしかしてアムノンいひけるは汝ら皆我を離れていでよと皆かれをはなれていでたり
10 And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
アムノン、タマルにいひけるは食物を寝室に持きたれ我汝の手より食はんとタマル乃ち己の作りたる菓子を取りて寝室に持ゆきて其兄アムノンにいたる
11 And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
タマル彼に食しめんとて近く持いたれる時彼タマルを執へて之にいひけるは妹よ來りて我と寝よ
12 And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
タマルかれにいひける否兄上よ我を辱しむるなかれ是のごとき事はイスラエルに行はれず汝此愚なる事をなすべからず
13 And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.
我は何處にわが恥辱を棄んか汝はイスラエルの愚人の一人となるべしされば請ふ王に語れ彼我を汝に予ざることなかるべしと
14 But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
然どもアムノン其言を聽ずしてタマルよりも力ありければタマルを辱しめてこれと偕に寝たりしが
15 Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
遂にアムノン甚だ深くタマルを惡むにいたる其かれを惡む所の惡みはかれを戀ひたるところの戀よりも大なり即ちアムノンかれにいひけるは起て往けよ
16 And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.
かれアムノンにいひけるは我を返して此惡を作るなかれ是は汝がさきに我になしたる所の惡よりも大なりとしかれども聽いれず
17 And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.
其側に仕ふる少者を呼ていひけるは汝此女をわが許より遣りいだして其後に戸を楗せと
18 And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
タマル振袖を着ゐたり王の女等の處女なるものは斯のごとき衣服をもて粧ひたりアムノンの侍者かれを外にいだして其後に戸を楗せり
19 And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
タマル灰を其首に蒙り着たる振袖を裂き手を首にのせて呼はりつつ去ゆけり
20 And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
其兄アブサロムかれにいひけるは汝の兄アムノン汝と偕に在しや然ど妹よ默せよ彼は汝の兄なり此事を心に留るなかれとかくてタマルは其兄アブサロムの家に凄しく住み居れり
21 And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his firstborn.
ダビデ王是等の事を悉く聞て甚だ怒れり
22 And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
アブサロムはアムノンにむかひて善も惡きも語ざりき其はアブサロム、アムノンを惡みたればたり是はかれがおのれの妹タマルを辱しめたるに由り
23 And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
全二年の後アブサロム、エフライムの邊なるバアルハゾルにて羊の毛を剪しめ居て王の諸子を悉く招けり
24 And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.
アブサロム王の所にいりていひけるは視よ僕羊の毛を剪しめをるねがはくは王と王の僕等僕とともに來りたまへ
25 And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
王アブサロムに云けるは否わが子よ我儕を皆いたらしむるなかれおそらくは汝の費を多くせんアブサロム、ダビデを強ふしかれどもダビデ往ことを肯ぜずして彼を祝せり
26 And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?
アブサロムいひけるは若しからずば請ふわが兄アムノンをして我らとともに來らしめよ王かれにいひけるは彼なんぞ汝とともにゆくべけんやと
27 And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.
されどアブサロムかれを強ければアムノンと王の諸子を皆アブサロムとともにゆかしめたり
28 And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
爰にアブサロム其少者等に命じていひけるは請ふ汝らアムノンの心の酒によりて樂む時を視すましてわが汝等にアムノンを撃てと言ふ時に彼を殺せ懼るるなかれ汝等に之を命じたるは我にあらずや汝ら勇しく武くなれと
29 And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
アブサロムの少者等アブサロムの命ぜしごとくアムノンになしければ王の諸子皆起て各其騾馬に乗て逃たり
30 And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
彼等が路にある時風聞ダビデにいたりていはくアブサロム王の諸子を悉く殺して一人も遺るものなしと
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.
王乃ち起ち其衣を裂きて地に臥す其臣僕皆衣を裂て其傍にたてり
32 And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
ダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナダブ答へていひけるは吾主よ王の御子等なる少年を皆殺したりと思たまふなかれアムノン獨り死るのみ彼がアブサロムの妹タマルを辱かしめたる日よりアブサロム此事をさだめおきたるなり
33 And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.
されば吾主王よ王の御子等皆死りといひて此事をおもひ煩ひたまふなかれアムノン獨死たるなればなりと
34 And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
斯てアブサロムは逃れたり爰に守望ゐたる少者目をあげて視たるに視よ山の傍よりして己の後の道より多くの人來れり
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.
ヨナダブ王にいひけるは視よ王の御子等來る僕のいへるがごとくしかりと
36 And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
彼語ることを終し時視よ王の子等來り聲をあげて哭り王と其僕等も皆大に甚く哭り
37 But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.
偖アブサロムは逃てゲシユルの王アミホデの子タルマイにいたるダビデは日々其子のために悲めり
38 So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
アブサロム逃てゲシユルにゆき三年彼處に居たり
39 And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
ダビデ王アブサロムに逢んと思ひ煩らふ其はアムノンは死たるによりてダビデかれの事はあきらめたればなり
