< Kings II 21 >

1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
ダビデの世に年復年と三年饑饉ありければダビデ、ヱホバに問にヱホバ言たまひけるは是はサウルと血を流せる其家のためなり其は彼嘗てギベオン人を殺したればなりと
2 And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
是において王ギベオン人を召てかれらにいへりギベオン人はイスラエルの子孫にあらずアモリ人の殘餘なりしがイスラエルの子孫昔彼等に誓をなしたり然るにサウル、イスラエルとユダの子孫に熱心なるよりして彼等を殺さんと求めたり
3 And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
即ちダビデ、ギベオン人にいひけるは我汝等のために何を爲すべきか我何の賠償を爲さば汝等ヱホバの產業を祝するや
4 And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
ギベオン人彼にいひけるは我儕はサウルと其家の金銀を取じ又汝は我らのためにイスラエルの中の人一人をも殺すなかれダビデいひけるは汝等が言ふ所は我汝らのために爲ん
5 And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
彼等王にいひけるは我儕を滅したる人我儕を殲してイスラエルの境の中に居留ざらしめんとて我儕にむかひて謀を設けし人
6 Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
請ふ其人の子孫七人を我儕に與へよ我儕ヱホバの選みたるサウルのギベアにて彼等をヱホバのまへに懸ん王いふ我與ふべしと
7 But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
されど王サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテを惜めり是は彼等のあひだ即ちダビデとサウルの子ヨナタンとの間にヱホバを指して爲る誓あるに因り
8 And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
されど王アヤの女リヅパがサウルに生し二人の子アルモニとメピボセテおよびサウルの女メラブがメホラ人バルジライの子アデリエルに生し五人の子を取りて
9 And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
かれらをギベオン人の手に與へければギベオン人かれらを山の上にてヱホバの前に懸たり彼等七人倶に斃れて刈穫の初日即ち大麥刈の初時に死り
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
アヤの女リヅパ麻布を取りて刈穫の初時より其屍上に天より雨ふるまでこれをおのれのために磐の上に布きおきて晝は空の鳥を屍の上に止らしめず夜は野の獣をちかよらしめざりき
11 And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
爰にアヤの女サウルの妾リヅパの爲しことダビデに聞えければ
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
ダビデ往てサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨をヤベシギレアデの人々の所より取り是はペリシテ人がサウルをギルボアに殺してベテシヤンの衢に懸たるをかれらが竊みさりたるものなり
13 And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
ダビデ其處よりサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨を携へ上れりまた人々其懸られたる者等の骨を斂たり
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
かくてサウルと其子ヨナタンの骨をベニヤミンの地のゼラにて其父キシの墓に葬り都て王の命じたる所を爲り比より後神其地のため祈祷を聽たまへり
15 And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
ペリシテ人復イスラエルと戰爭を爲すダビデ其臣僕とともに下りてペリシテ人と戰ひけるがダビデ困憊居りければ
16 And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
イシビベノブ、ダビデを殺さんと思へり(イシビベノブは巨人の子等の一人にて其槍の銅の重は三百シケルあり彼新しき劒を帶たり)
17 And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
しかれどもゼルヤの子アビシヤイ、ダビデを助けて其ペリシテ人を撃ち殺せり是においてダビデの從者かれに誓ひていひけるは汝は再我儕と共に戰爭に出べからず恐らくは爾イスラエルの燈光を消さんと
18 And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
此後再びゴブにおいてペリシテ人と戰あり時にホシヤ人シベカイ巨人の子等の一人なるサフを殺せり
19 And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
爰に復ゴブにてペリシテ人と戰あり其處にてベテレヘム人ヤレオレギムの子エルハナン、ガテのゴリアテの兄弟ラミを殺せり其槍の柄は機の梁の如くなりき
20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
又ガテに戰ありしが其處に一人の身長き人あり手には各六の指あり足には各六の指ありて其數合せて二十四なり彼もまた巨人の生る者なり
21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
彼イスラエルを挑みしかばダビデに兄弟シメアの子ヨナタン彼を殺せり
22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
是らの四人はガテにて巨人の生るものなりしがダビデの手と其臣僕の手に斃れたり
