2 Samuel 19
1 And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;
時にヨアブに告る者ありていふ視よ王はアブサロムの爲に哭き悲しむと
2 and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been grieved for his son.”
其日の勝利は凡の民の悲哀となれり其は民其日王は其子のために憂ふと言ふを聞たればなり
3 And the people steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;
其日民は戰爭に逃て羞たる民の竊て去がごとく竊て城邑にいりぬ
4 and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
王は其面を掩へり王大聲に叫てわが子アブサロムよアブサロムわが子よわが子よといふ
5 And Joab comes into the house to the king and says, “Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants, those delivering your life today, and the life of your sons, and of your daughters, and the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
ここにヨアブ家にいり王の許にいたりていひけるは汝今日汝の生命と汝の男子汝の女子の生命および汝の妻等の生命と汝の妾等の生命を救ひたる汝の凡の臣僕の顔を羞させたり
6 to love your enemies, and to hate those loving you, for today you have declared that you have no princes and servants, for today I have known that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us dead today, that then it were right in your eyes.
是は汝おのれを惡む者を愛しおのれを愛する者を惡むなり汝今日汝が諸侯伯をも諸僕をも顧みざるを示せり今日我さとる若しアブサロム生をりて我儕皆死たらば汝の目に適ひしならん
7 And now, rise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants, for I have sworn by YHWH, that [if] you are not going out—there does not lodge a man with you tonight; and this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come on you from your youth until now.”
されど今立て出で汝の諸僕を慰めてかたるべし我ヱホバを指て誓ふ汝若し出ずば今夜一人も汝とともに止るものなかるべし是は汝が若き時より今にいたるまでに蒙りたる諸の災禍よりも汝に惡かるべし
8 And the king rises, and sits in the gate, and they have declared to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate”; and all the people come in before the king, and Israel has fled, each to his tents.
是に於て王たちて門に坐す人々凡の民に告て視よ王は門に坐し居るといひければ民皆王のまへにいたる然どイスラエルはおのむの其天幕に逃かへれり
9 And it comes to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, indeed, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land because of Absalom,
イスラエルの諸の支派の中に民皆爭ひていひけるは王は我儕を敵の手より救ひいだしまた我儕をペリシテ人の手より助けいだせりされど今はアブサロムのために國を逃いでたり
10 and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are you silent—to bring back the king?”
また我儕が膏そそぎて我儕の上にかきしアブサロムは戰爭に死ねりされば爾ら何ぞ王を導きかへらんことと言ざるや
11 And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to [the] elderly of Judah, saying, Why are you last to bring back the king to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house;
ダビデ王祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに言つかはしけるはユダの長老等に告て言ヘイスラエルの全家の言語王の家に達せしに爾ら何ぞ王を其家に導きかへる最後となるや
12 you [are] my brothers, you [are] my bone and my flesh, and why are you last to bring back the king?
爾等はわが兄弟爾らはわが骨肉なりしかるになんぞ爾等王を導き歸る最後となるやと
13 And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, if you are not head of the host before me instead of Joab [for] all the days.”
又アマサに言べし爾はわが骨肉にあらずや爾ヨアブにかはりて常にわがまへにて軍長たるべし若しからずば神我に斯なし又重ねてかくなしたまへと
14 And he inclines the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
かくダビデ、ユダの凡の人をして其心を傾けて一人のごとくにならしめければかれら王にねがはくは爾および爾の諸の臣僕歸りたまへといひおくれり
15 And the king turns back, and comes to the Jordan, and Judah has come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,
是において王歸りてヨルダンにいたるにユダの人々王を迎へんとて來りてギルガルにいたり王を送りてヨルダンを濟らんとす
16 and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hurries, and comes down with the men of Judah, to meet King David,
時にバホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ急ぎてユダの人々とともに下りダビデ王を迓ふ
17 and one thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.
一千のベニヤミン人彼とともにあり亦サウルの家の僕ヂバも其十五人の男子と二十人の僕をしたがへて偕に居たりしが皆王のまへにむかひてヨルダンをこぎ渡れり
18 And the ferry-boat has passed over to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera has fallen before the king in his passing over into the Jordan,
時に王の家族を濟しまた王の目に善と見ゆるところを爲んとて濟舟を濟せり爰にゲラの子シメイ、ヨルダンを濟れる時王のまへに伏して
19 and he says to the king, “Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me; neither remember that which your servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem—for the king to set [it] to his heart;
王にいひけるはわが主よねがはくは罪を我に歸するなかれまた王わが主のエルサレムより出たまへる日に僕が爲たる惡き事を記憶えたまふなかれねがはくは王これを心に置たまふなかれ
20 for your servant has known that I have sinned; and behold, I have come today, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.”
其は僕我罪を犯したるを知ればなり故に視よ我今日ヨセフの全家の最初に下り來りて王わが主を迓ふと
21 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answers and says, “Is Shimei not put to death for this—because he reviled the anointed of YHWH?”
然にゼルヤの子アビシヤイ答へていひけるはシメイはヱホバの膏そそぎし者を詛たるに因て其がために誅さるべきにあらずやと
22 And David says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that today you are for an adversary to me? Is any man put to death in Israel today? For have I not known that today I [am] king over Israel?”
ダビデいひけるは爾らゼルヤの子よ爾らのあづかるところにあらず爾等今日我に敵となる今日豈イスラエルの中にて人を誅すべけんや我豈わが今日イスラエルの王となりたるをしらざらんやと
23 And the king says to Shimei, “You do not die”; and the king swears to him.
是をもて王はシメイに爾は誅されじといひて王かれに誓へり
24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul has come down to meet the king—and he did not prepare his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, indeed, he did not wash his garments, even from the day of the going away of the king, until the day that he came in peace—
爰にサウルの子メピボセテ下りて王をむかふ彼は王の去し日より安かに歸れる日まで其足を飾らず其鬚を飾らず又其衣を濯ざりき
25 and it comes to pass, when he has come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king says to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 And he says, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, I saddle the donkey for myself, and ride on it, and go with the king, for your servant [is] lame;
彼エルサレムよりきたりて王を迓ふる時王かれにいひけるはメビボセテ爾なんぞ我とともに往ざりしや 彼こたへけるはわが主王よわが僕我を欺けり僕はわれ驢馬に鞍おきて其に乗て王の處にゆかんといへり僕跛者なればなり
27 and he utters slander against your servant to my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do that which is good in your eyes,
しかるに彼僕を王わが主に讒言せり然ども王わが主は神の使のごとし故に爾の目に善と見るところを爲たまへ
28 for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and you set your servant among those eating at your table, and what right do I have anymore—even to cry anymore to the king?”
わが父の全家は王わが主のまへには死人なるのみなるに爾僕を爾の席にて食ふ者の中に置たまへりされば我何の理ありてか重ねて王に哀訴ることをえん
29 And the king says to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba—share the field.”
王かれにいひけるは爾なんぞ重ねて爾の事を言や我いふ爾とヂバ其地を分つべし
30 And Mephibosheth says to the king, “Indeed, let him take the whole, after that my lord the king has come in peace to his house.”
メピボセテ王にいひけるは王わが主安然に其家に歸りたまひたればかれに之を悉くとらしめたまへと
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite has gone down from Rogelim, and passes over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
爰にギレアデ人バルジライ、ロゲリムより下り王を送りてヨルダンを渡らんとて王とともにヨルダンを濟れり
32 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he has sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;
バルジライは甚だ老たる人にて八十歳なりきかれは甚だ大なる人なれば王のマハナイムに留れる間王を養へり
33 and the king says to Barzillai, “Pass over with me, and I have sustained you in Jerusalem with me.”
王バルジライにいひけるは爾我とともに濟り來れ我エルサレムにて爾を我とともに養はん
34 And Barzillai says to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
バルジライ王にいひけるはわが生命の年の日尚幾何ありてか我王とともにエルサレムに上らんや
35 I [am] a son of eighty years today; do I know between good and evil? Does your servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? Do I listen anymore to the voice of male and female singers? And why is your servant for a burden to my lord the king anymore?
我は今日八十歳なり善きと惡きとを辨へるをえんや僕其食ふところと飮ところを味ふをえんや我再び謳歌之男と謳歌之女の聲を聽えんや僕なんぞ尚王わが主の累となるべけんや
36 As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment?
僕は王とともにヨルダンを濟りて只少しくゆかん王なんぞこの報賞を我に報ゆるに及ばんや
37 Please let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”
請ふ僕を歸らしめよ我自己の邑にてわが父母の墓の側に死ん但し僕キムハムを視たまへかれを王わが主とともに濟り往しめたまへ又爾の目に善と見る所を彼になしたまへ
38 And the king says, “Chimham goes over with me, and I do to him that which [is] good in your eyes, indeed, all that you fix on me I do to you.”
王いひけるはキムハム我とともに濟り往くべし我爾の目に善と見ゆる所をかれに爲ん又爾が望みて我に求むる所は皆我爾のために爲すべしと
39 And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king has passed over, and the king gives a kiss to Barzillai, and blesses him, and he turns back to his place.
民皆ヨルダンを濟れり王渡りし時王バルジライに接吻してこれを祝す彼遂に己の所に歸れり
40 And the king passes over to Gilgal, and Chimham has passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.
かくて王ギルガルに進むにキムハムかれとともに進めりユダの民皆王を送れりイスラエルの民の半も亦しかり
41 And behold, all the men of Israel are coming to the king, and they say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you—and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
是にイスラエルの人々皆王の所にいたりて王にいひけるは我儕の兄弟なるユダの人々何故に爾を竊みさり王と其家族およびダビデとともなる其凡の從者を送りてヨルダンを濟りしやと
42 And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us, and why [is] this [that] you are displeased about this matter? Have we eaten of the king’s [substance] at all? Has he lifted up a gift to us?”
ユダの人々皆イスラエルの人々に對へていふ王は我に近きが故なり爾なんぞ此事について怒るや我儕王の物を食ひしことあるや王我儕に賜物を與へたることあるや
43 And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, “We have ten parts in the king, and also more than you in David; and why have you lightly esteemed us, that our word has not been first to bring back our king?” And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
イスラエルの人ユダの人に對ていひけるは我は王のうちに十の分を有ち亦ダビデのうちにも我は爾よりも多を有つなりしかるに爾なんぞ我らを軽じたるやわが王を導きかへらんと言しは我最初なるにあらずやとされどユダの人々の言はイスラエルの人々の言よりも厲しかりき
