< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
此後ダビデの子アブサロムにタマルと名くる美しき妹ありしがダビデの子アムノンこれを戀ひたり
2 Amnon was so troubled that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
アムノン心を苦しめて遂に其姉妹タマルのためにわづらへり其はタマルは處女なりければアムノンかれに何事をも爲しがたしと思ひたればなり
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.
然るにアムノンに一人の朋友ありダビデの兄弟シメアの子にして其名をヨナダブといふヨナダブに甚だ有智き人なり
4 He said to him, "Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
彼アムノンにいひけるは汝王の子なんぞ日に日に斯く痩ゆくや汝我に告ざるやアムノン彼にいひけるは我わが兄弟アブサロムの妹タマルを戀ふ
5 Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'"
ヨナダブかれにいひけるは床に臥て病と佯り汝の父の來りて汝を見る時これにいへ請ふわが妹タマルをして來りて我に食を予へしめわが見て彼の手より食ふことをうる樣にわが目のまへにて食物を調理しめよと
6 So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
アムノンすなはち臥して病と佯りしが王の來りておのれを見る時アムノン王にいひけるは請ふ吾妹タマルをして來りてわが目のまへにて二の菓子を作へしめて我にかれの手より食ふことを得さしめよと
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon and prepare food for him."
是においてダビデ、タマルの家にいひつかはしけるは汝の兄アムノンの家にゆきてかれのために食物を調理よと
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes while he watched, and baked the cakes.
タマル其兄アムノンの家にいたるにアムノンは臥し居たりタマル乃ち粉をとりて之を摶てかれの目のまへにて菓子を作へ其菓子を燒き
9 She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, "Have all men leave me." Every man went out from him.
鍋を取て彼のまへに傾出たりしかれども彼食ふことを否めりしかしてアムノンいひけるは汝ら皆我を離れていでよと皆かれをはなれていでたり
10 Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand." Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
アムノン、タマルにいひけるは食物を寝室に持きたれ我汝の手より食はんとタマル乃ち己の作りたる菓子を取りて寝室に持ゆきて其兄アムノンにいたる
11 When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
タマル彼に食しめんとて近く持いたれる時彼タマルを執へて之にいひけるは妹よ來りて我と寝よ
12 She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me. For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do this folly.
タマルかれにいひける否兄上よ我を辱しむるなかれ是のごとき事はイスラエルに行はれず汝此愚なる事をなすべからず
13 I, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."
我は何處にわが恥辱を棄んか汝はイスラエルの愚人の一人となるべしされば請ふ王に語れ彼我を汝に予ざることなかるべしと
14 However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped her.
然どもアムノン其言を聽ずしてタマルよりも力ありければタマルを辱しめてこれと偕に寝たりしが
15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, go away."
遂にアムノン甚だ深くタマルを惡むにいたる其かれを惡む所の惡みはかれを戀ひたるところの戀よりも大なり即ちアムノンかれにいひけるは起て往けよ
16 And Tamar said to him, "Don't, my brother, for this latter evil in sending me away is greater than the former thing that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.
かれアムノンにいひけるは我を返して此惡を作るなかれ是は汝がさきに我になしたる所の惡よりも大なりとしかれども聽いれず
17 Then he called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away from me, and bolt the door after her."
其側に仕ふる少者を呼ていひけるは汝此女をわが許より遣りいだして其後に戸を楗せと
18 Now she was wearing an ornamented robe, for this was what the king's virgin daughters used to wear. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
タマル振袖を着ゐたり王の女等の處女なるものは斯のごとき衣服をもて粧ひたりアムノンの侍者かれを外にいだして其後に戸を楗せり
19 And Tamar took ashes and put them on her head, and tore the long robe she was wearing. And she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.
タマル灰を其首に蒙り着たる振袖を裂き手を首にのせて呼はりつつ去ゆけり
20 And her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this too seriously." So Tamar, devastated, lived in her brother Absalom's house.
其兄アブサロムかれにいひけるは汝の兄アムノン汝と偕に在しや然ど妹よ默せよ彼は汝の兄なり此事を心に留るなかれとかくてタマルは其兄アブサロムの家に凄しく住み居れり
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.
ダビデ王是等の事を悉く聞て甚だ怒れり
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.
アブサロムはアムノンにむかひて善も惡きも語ざりき其はアブサロム、アムノンを惡みたればたり是はかれがおのれの妹タマルを辱しめたるに由り
23 It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
全二年の後アブサロム、エフライムの邊なるバアルハゾルにて羊の毛を剪しめ居て王の諸子を悉く招けり
24 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
アブサロム王の所にいりていひけるは視よ僕羊の毛を剪しめをるねがはくは王と王の僕等僕とともに來りたまへ
25 The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." But he pleaded with him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
王アブサロムに云けるは否わが子よ我儕を皆いたらしむるなかれおそらくは汝の費を多くせんアブサロム、ダビデを強ふしかれどもダビデ往ことを肯ぜずして彼を祝せり
26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
アブサロムいひけるは若しからずば請ふわが兄アムノンをして我らとともに來らしめよ王かれにいひけるは彼なんぞ汝とともにゆくべけんやと
27 But Absalom pleaded with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom prepared a feast like a king's feast.
されどアブサロムかれを強ければアムノンと王の諸子を皆アブサロムとともにゆかしめたり
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine, and when I tell you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and brave."
爰にアブサロム其少者等に命じていひけるは請ふ汝らアムノンの心の酒によりて樂む時を視すましてわが汝等にアムノンを撃てと言ふ時に彼を殺せ懼るるなかれ汝等に之を命じたるは我にあらずや汝ら勇しく武くなれと
29 So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.
アブサロムの少者等アブサロムの命ぜしごとくアムノンになしければ王の諸子皆起て各其騾馬に乗て逃たり
30 And it happened, while they were on the way, that the news came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."
彼等が路にある時風聞ダビデにいたりていはくアブサロム王の諸子を悉く殺して一人も遺るものなしと
31 Then the king got up and tore his clothes and lay down on the ground. And all the servants who were standing around him also tore their clothes.
王乃ち起ち其衣を裂きて地に臥す其臣僕皆衣を裂て其傍にたてり
32 But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "My lord the king must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For this has been Absalom's plan since the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
ダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナダブ答へていひけるは吾主よ王の御子等なる少年を皆殺したりと思たまふなかれアムノン獨り死るのみ彼がアブサロムの妹タマルを辱かしめたる日よりアブサロム此事をさだめおきたるなり
33 Now therefore do not let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead."
されば吾主王よ王の御子等皆死りといひて此事をおもひ煩ひたまふなかれアムノン獨死たるなればなりと
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, "I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain."
斯てアブサロムは逃れたり爰に守望ゐたる少者目をあげて視たるに視よ山の傍よりして己の後の道より多くの人來れり
35 Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."
ヨナダブ王にいひけるは視よ王の御子等來る僕のいへるがごとくしかりと
36 It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
彼語ることを終し時視よ王の子等來り聲をあげて哭り王と其僕等も皆大に甚く哭り
37 And David mourned for his son every day.
偖アブサロムは逃てゲシユルの王アミホデの子タルマイにいたるダビデは日々其子のために悲めり
38 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years.
アブサロム逃てゲシユルにゆき三年彼處に居たり
39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon.
ダビデ王アブサロムに逢んと思ひ煩らふ其はアムノンは死たるによりてダビデかれの事はあきらめたればなり
