2 Samuel 4
1 Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
サウルの子はアブネルのヘブロンにて死たるを聞きしかば其手弱くなりてイスラエルみな憂へたり
2 And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
サウルの子隊長二人を有てり其一人をバアナといひ一人をレカブといふベニヤミンの支派なるベロテ人リンモンの子等なり其はベロテも亦ベニヤミンの中に數らるればなり
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
昔にペロテ人ギツタイムに逃遁れて今日にいたるまで彼處に旅人となりて止まる
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
サウルの子ヨナタンに跛足の子一人ありヱズレルよりサウルとヨナタンの事の報いたりし時には五歳なりき其乳媼かれを抱きて逃れたりしが急ぎ逃る時其子堕て跛者となれり其名をメピボセテといふ
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
ベロテ人リンモンの子レカブとバアナゆきて日の熱き頃イシボセテの家にいたるにイシボセテ午睡し居たり
6 And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
かれら麥を取らんといひて家の中にいりきたりかれの腹を刺りしかしてレカブと其兄弟バアナ逃げさりぬ
7 And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
彼等が家にいりしときイシボセテは其寝室にありて床の上に寝たりかれら即ちこれをうちころしこれを馘りて其首級をとり終夜アラバの道をゆきて
8 They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. Jehovah has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
イシボセテの首級をヘブロンにダビデの許に携へいたりて王にいひけるは汝の生命を求めたる汝の敵サウルの子イシボセテの首を視よヱホバ今日我主なる王の仇をサウルと其裔に報いたまへりと
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
ダビデ、ベロテ人リンモンの子レカブと其兄弟バアナに答へていひけるはわが生命を諸の艱難の中に救ひたまひしヱホバは生く
10 when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
我は嘗て人の我に告て視よサウルは死りと言ひて自ら我に善き事を傳ふる者と思ひをりしを執てこれをチクラグに殺し其消息に報いたり
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
况や惡人の義人を其家の床の上に殺したるをやされば我彼の血をながせる罪を汝らに報い汝らをこの地より絶ざるべけんやと
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
ダビデ少者に命じければ少者かれらを殺して其手足を切離しヘブロンの池の上に懸たり又イシボセテの首を取りてヘブロンにあるアブネルの墓に葬れり
