2 Samuel 11
1 It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
年歸りて王等の戰に出る時におよびてダビデ、ヨアブおよび自己の臣僕並にイスラエルの全軍を遣はせり彼等アンモンの子孫を滅ぼしてラバを圍めりされどダビデはエルサレムに止りぬ
2 Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's palace; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.
爰に夕暮にダビデ其床より興きいでて王の家の屋蓋のうへに歩みしが屋蓋より一人の婦人の體をあらふを見たり其婦は觀るに甚だ美し
3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"
ダビデ人を遣して婦人を探らしめしに或人いふ此はエリアムの女ハテシバにてヘテ人ウリヤの妻なるにあらずやと
4 So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
ダビデ乃ち使者を遣はして其婦を取る婦彼に來りて彼婦と寝たりしかして婦其不潔を清めて家に歸りぬ
5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
かくて婦孕みければ人をつかはしてダビデに告ていひけるは我子を孕めりと
6 Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
是においてダビデ人をヨアブにつかはしてヘテ人ウリヤを我に遣はせといひければヨアブ、ウリヤをダビデに遣はせり
7 And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."
ウリヤ、ダビデにいたりしかばダビデこれにヨアブの如何なると民の如何なると戰爭の如何なるを問ふ
8 And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
しかしてダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝の家に下りて足を洗へとウリヤ王の家を出るに王の贈物其後に從ひてきたる
9 But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
然どウリヤは王の家の門に其主の僕等とともに寝ておのれの家にくだりいたらず
10 And it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"
人々ダビデに告てウリヤ其家にくだり至らずといひければダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝は旅路をなして來れるにあらずや何故に自己の家にくだらざるや
11 And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camped in the open field. Then how can I go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."
ウリヤ、ダビデにいひけるは櫃とイスラエルとユダは小屋の中に住まりわが主ヨアブとわが主の僕は野の表に陣を取るに我いかでわが家にゆきて食ひ飮しまた妻と寝べけけんや汝は生また汝の霊魂は活く我此事をなさじ
12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
ダビデ、ウリヤにいふ今日も此にとどまれ明日我汝を去しめんとウリヤ其日と次の日エルサレムにとどまりしが
13 And the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he became drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
ダビデかれを召て其まへに食ひ飮せしめダビデかれを酔しめたり晩にいたりて彼出て其床に其主の僕と共に寝たりされどおのれの家にはくだりゆかざりき
14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
朝におよびてダビデ、ヨアブヘの書を認めて之をウリヤの手によりて遣れり
15 He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."
ダビデ其書に書ていはく汝らウリヤを烈しき戰の先鉾にいだしてかれの後より退きて彼をして戰死せしめよ
16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
是においてヨアブ城邑を窺ひてウリヤをば其勇士の居ると知る所に置り
17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite died also.
城邑の人出てヨアブと戰ひしかばダビデの僕の中の數人仆れヘテ人ウリヤも死り
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
ヨアブ人をつかはして軍の事を悉くダビデに告げしむ
19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
ヨアブ其使者に命じていひけるは汝が軍の事を皆王に語り終しとき
20 if it happens that he becomes angry,
王もし怒りを發して汝に汝らなんぞ戰はんとて城邑に近づきしや汝らは彼らが石墻の上より射ることを知らざりしや
21 then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
ヱルベセテの子アビメレクを撃し者は誰なるや一人の婦が石垣の上より磨の上石を投て彼をテベツに殺せしにあらずや何ぞ汝ら城垣に近づきしやと言はば汝言べし汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤもまた死りと
22 So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
使者ゆきてダビデにいたりヨアブが遣はしたるところのことをことごとく告げたり
23 The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us, and came out to us into the field, and when we drove them back to the entrance of the gate,
使者ダビデにいひけるは敵我儕に手強かりしが城外にいでて我儕にいたりしかば我儕これに迫りて門の入口にまでいたれり
24 then the arrows came down heavily on your servants from the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants died." And the messenger finished the words to the king about the report of the battle. Then David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, "Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know you would be struck from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near to the wall?" [Then the messenger said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead."
時に射手の者城垣の上より汝の僕を射たりければ王の僕の或者死に亦汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤも死りと
25 Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall tell Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.' And encourage him."
ダビデ使者にいひけるは斯汝ヨアブに言べし此事を憂ふるなかれ刀劍は此をも彼をも同じく殺すなり強く城邑を攻て戰ひ之を陷いるべしと汝かくヨアブを勵ますべし
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
ウリヤの妻其夫ウリヤの死たるを聞て夫のために悲哀り
27 When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
其喪の過し時ダビデ人を遣はしてかれをおのれの家に召いる彼すなはちその妻となりて男子を生り但しダビデの爲たる此事はヱホバの目に惡かりき
