2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knows that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
ゼルヤの子ヨアブ王の心のアブサロムに趣くを知れり
2 and Joab sends to Tekoah, and takes a wise woman from there, and says to her, “Please feign yourself a mourner, and now put on garments of mourning, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and you have been as a woman mourning for the dead [for] these many days,
ヨアブ乃ちテコアに人を遣りて彼處より一人の哲婦を呼きたらしめて其婦にいひけるは請ふ汝喪にある眞似して喪の服を着油む身にぬらず死者のために久しく哀しめる婦のごとく爲りて
3 and you have gone to the king, and spoken to him, according to this word”; and Joab puts the words into her mouth.
王の所にいたり是のごとくかれに語るべしとヨアブ其語言をかれの口に授けたり
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaks to the king, and falls on her face to the earth, and pays respect, and says, “Save, O king.”
テコアの婦王にいたり地に伏て拝し王にいひけるは王よ助けたまへ
5 And the king says to her, “What do you [want]?” And she says, “I [am] truly a widow woman, and my husband dies,
王婦にひけるは何事なるや婦いひけるは我は實に嫠婦にしてわが夫は死り
6 and your maidservant has two sons; and both of them strive in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and one strikes the other, and puts him to death;
仕女に二人の子あり倶に野に爭ひしが誰もかれらを排解ものなきにより此遂に彼を撃て殺せり
7 and behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and say, Give up him who strikes his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he has slain, and we also destroy the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set a name and remnant on the face of the ground for my husband.”
是において視よ全家仕女に逼りていふ其兄弟を撃殺したる者を付せ我らかれをその殺したる兄弟の生命のために殺さんと斯く嗣子をも滅ぼし存れるわが炭火を熄てわが夫の名をも遺存をも地の面に無らしめんとす
8 And the king says to the woman, “Go to your house, and I give charge concerning you.”
王婦にいひけるは汝の家に往け我汝の事につきて命令を下さん
9 And the woman of Tekoah says to the king, “On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.”
テコアの婦王にいひけるは王わが主よねがはくは其罪は我とわが父の家に歸して王と王の位には罪あらざれ
10 And the king says, “He who speaks to you, and you have brought him to me, then he does not add to come against you anymore.”
王いひけるは誰にても爾に語る者をば我に將來れしかせば彼かさねて爾に觸ること无るべし
11 And she says, “Please let the king remember by your God YHWH, that the redeemer of blood does not add to destroy, and they do not destroy my son”; and he says, “YHWH lives; if there falls [even one] hair of your son to the earth.”
婦いひけるは願くは王爾の神ヱホバを憶えてかの仇を報ゆる者をして重て滅すことを爲しめず我子を斷ことなからしめたまへと王いひけるはヱホバは生く爾の子の髮毛一すぢも地に隕ることなかるべし
12 And the woman says, “Please let your maidservant speak a word to my lord the king”; and he says, “Speak.”
婦いひけるは請ふ仕女をして一言わが主王に言しめたまヘダビデいひけるは言ふべし
13 And the woman says, “And why have you thought thus concerning the people of God? Indeed, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king has not brought back his outcast;
婦いひけるは爾なんぞ斯る事を神の民にむかひて思ひたるや王此言を言ふにより王は罪ある者のごとし其は王その放れたる者を歸らしめざればなり
14 for we surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God does not accept a person, and has devised plans in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
抑我儕は死ざるべからず我儕は地に潟れたる水の再び聚る能はざるがごとし神は生命を取りたまはず方法を設けて其放れたる者をして己の所より放たれをることなからしむ
15 And now that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and your maidservant says, Please let me speak to the king; it may be the king does the word of his handmaid,
我此事を王我主に言んとて來れるは民我を恐れしめたればなり故に仕女謂らく王に言ん王婢の言を行ひたまふならんと
16 for the king listens to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
其は王聞て我とわが子を共に滅して神の產業に離れしめんとする人の手より婢を救ひいだしたまふべければなり
17 and your maidservant says, Please let the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and your God YHWH is with you.”
仕女また思り王わが主の言は慰となるべしと其は神の使のごとく王わが主は善も惡も聽たまへばなりねがはくは爾の神ヱホバ爾と共に在せと
18 And the king answers and says to the woman, “Please do not hide from me the thing that I am asking you”; and the woman says, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
王こたへて婦にいひけるは請ふわが爾に問んところの事を我に隱すなかれ婦いふ請ふ王わが主言たまへ
19 And the king says, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answers and says, “Your soul lives, my lord, O king, none [turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.
王いひけるは比すべての事においてはヨアブの手爾とともにあるや婦答へていひけるは爾の霊魂は活く王わが主よ凡て王わが主の言たまひしところは右にも左にもまがらず皆に爾の僕ヨアブ我に命じ是等の言を悉く仕女の口に授けたり
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing in order to bring around the appearance of the thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.”
其事の見ゆるとこるを變んとて爾の僕ヨアブ此事をなしたるなり然どわが主は神の使の智慧のごとく智慧ありて地にある事を悉く知たまふと
21 And the king says to Joab, “Now behold, you have done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
是において王ヨアブにいひけるは視よ我此事を爲すされば往て少年アブサロムを携歸るべし
22 And Joab falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and blesses the king, and Joab says, “Today your servant has known that I have found grace in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant.”
ヨアブ地に伏し拝し王を祝せりしかしてヨアブいひけるは王わが主よ王僕の言を行ひたまへば今日僕わが爾に惠るるを知ると
23 And Joab rises and goes to Geshur, and brings in Absalom to Jerusalem,
ヨアブ乃ち起てゲシユルに往きアブサロムをエルサレムに携きたれり
24 and the king says, “Let him turn around to his house, and he does not see my face.” And Absalom turns around to his house, and he has not seen the face of the king.
王いひけるは彼は其家に退くべしわが面を見るべからずと故にアブサロム己の家に退きて王の面を觀ざりき
25 And there was no man [so] beautiful in all Israel like Absalom, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even to his crown there was no blemish in him;
偖イスラエルの中にアブサロムのごとく其美貌のために讃られたる人はなかりき其足の跖より頭の頂にいたるまで彼には瑕疵あることなし
26 and in his shaving his head—and it has been at the end of year by year that he shaves [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he has shaved it—he has even weighed out the hair of his head—two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
アブサロム其頭を剪る時其頭の髮を衡るに王の權衡の二百シケルあり毎年の終にアブサロム其頭を剪り是は己の重によりて剪たるなり
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
アブサロムに三人の男子と一人のタマルといふ女子生れたりタマルは美女なり
28 And Absalom dwells in Jerusalem [for] two years of days, and he has not seen the face of the king;
アブサロム二年のあひだエルサレムにをりたれども王の顔を見ざりき
29 and Absalom sends to Joab, to send him to the king, and he has not been willing to come to him; and he sends again a second time, and he has not been willing to come.
是によりてアブサロム王に遣さんとてヨアブを呼に遣はしけるが彼來ることを肯ぜず再び遣せしかども來ることを肯ぜざりき
30 And he says to his servants, “See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he has barley there; go and burn it with fire”; and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
アブサロム其僕にいひけるは視よヨアブの田地は我の近くにありて其處に大麥あり往て其に火を放てとアブサロムの僕等田地に火を放てり
31 And Joab rises and comes to Absalom in the house, and says to him, “Why have your servants burned the portion that I have with fire?”
ヨアブ起てアブサロムの家に來りてこれにいひけるは何故に爾の僕等田地に火を放たるや
32 And Absalom says to Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, and I send you to the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? [It was] good for me while I [was] there—and now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me then you have put me to death.”
アブサロム、ヨアブにいひけるは我人を爾に遣はして此に來れ我爾を王につかはさんと言り即ち爾をして王に我何のためにゲシユルよりきたりしや彼處に尚あらば我ためには反て善しと言しめんとせり然ば我今王の面を見ん若し我に罪あらば王我を殺すべし
33 And Joab comes to the king, and declares [it] to him, and he calls to Absalom, and he comes to the king, and bows himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king gives a kiss to Absalom.
ヨアブ王にいたりてこれに告たれば王アブサロムを召す彼王にいたりて王のまへに地に伏て拝せり王アブサロムに接吻す
