2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
サウルの家とダビデの家の間の戰爭久しかりしがダビデは益強くなりサウルの家はますます弱くなれり
2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
ヘブロンにてダビデに男子等生る其首出の子はアムノンといひてヱズレル人アヒノアムより生る
3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
其次はギレアブといひてカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルより生る第三はアブサロムといひてゲシユルの王タルマイの女子マアカの子なり
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
第四はアドニヤといひてハギテの子なり第五はシバテヤといひてアビタルの子なり
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
第六はイテレヤムといひてダビデの妻エグラの子なり是等の子ヘブロンにてダビデに生る
6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.
サウルの家とダビデの家の間に戰爭ありし間アブネルは堅くサウルの家に荷擔り
7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
嚮にサウル一人の妾を有り其名をリヅパといふアヤの女なり爰にイシボセテ、アブネルにいひけるは汝何ぞわが父の妾に通じたるや
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
アブネル甚しくイシボセテの言を怒りていひけるは我今日汝の父サウルの家とその兄弟とその朋友に厚意をあらはし汝をダビデの手にわたさざるに汝今日婦人の過を擧て我を責む我あに犬の首ならんやユダにくみする者ならんや
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as YHWH has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
神アブネルに斯なしまたかさねて斯なしたまへヱホバのダビデに誓ひたまひしごとく我かれに然なすべし
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
即ち國をサウルの家より移しダビデの位をダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルとユダの上にたてん
11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
イシボセテ、アブネルを恐れたればかさねて一言も之にこたふるをえざりき
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."
アブネルおのれの代に使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは此地は誰の所有なるや又いひけるは汝我と契約を爲せ我力を汝に添へてイスラエルを悉く汝に歸せしめん
13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
ダビデいひけるは善し我汝と契約をなさん但し我一の事を汝に索む即ち汝來りてわが面を覿る時先づサウルの女ミカルを携きたらざれば我面を覿るを得じと
14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
ダビデ使者をサウルの子イシボセテに遣していひけるはわがペリシテ人の陽皮一百を以て聘たるわが妻ミカルを我に交すべし
15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.
イシボセテ人をつかはしてかれを其夫ライシの子パルテより取しかば
16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
其夫哭つつ歩みて其後にしたがひて倶にバホリムにいたりしがアブネルかれに歸り往けといひければすなはち歸りぬ
17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.
アブネル、イスラエルの長老等と語りていひけるは汝ら前よりダビデを汝らの王となさんことを求め居たり
18 Now then do it, for YHWH has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"
されば今これをなすべし其はヱホバ、ダビデに付て語りて我わが僕ダビデの手を以てわが民イスラエルをペリシテ人の手よりまたその諸の敵の手より救ひいださんといひたまひたればなりと
19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
アブネル亦ベニヤミンの耳に語れりしかしてアブネル自らイスラエルおよびベニヤミンの全家の善とおもふ所をヘブロンにてダビデの耳に告んとて往り
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
すなはちアブネル二十人をしたがへてヘブロンにゆきてダビデの許にいたりければダビデ、アブネルと其したがへる從者のために酒宴を設けたり
21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.
アブネル、ダビデにいひけるは我起てゆきイスラエルをことごとくわが主王の所に集めて彼等に汝と契約を立しめ汝をして心の望む所の者をことごとく治むるにいたらしめんと是においてダビデ、アブネルを歸してかれ安然に去り
22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.
時にダビデの臣僕およびヨアブ人の國を侵して歸り大なる掠取物を携へきたれり然どアブネルはタビデとともにヘブロンにはをらざりき其はダビデかれを歸してかれ安然に去りたればなり
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."
ヨアブおよびともにありし軍兵皆かへりきたりしとき人々ヨアブに告ていひけるはネルの子アブネル王の所にきたりしが王かれを返してかれ安然にされりと
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
ヨアブ王に詣りていひけるは汝何を爲したるやアブネル汝の所にきたりしに汝何故にかれを返して去ゆかしめしや
25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
汝ネルの子アブネルが汝を誑かさんとてきたり汝の出入を知りまた汝のすべて爲す所を知んために來りしを知ると
26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
かくてヨアブ、ダビデの所より出來り使者をつかはしてアブネルを追しめたれば使者シラの井よりかれを將返れりされどダビデは知ざりき
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
アブネル、ヘブロンに返りしかばヨアブ彼と密に語らんとてかれを門の内に引きゆき其處にてその腹を刺てこれを殺し己の兄弟アサヘルの血をむくいたり
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before YHWH now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
其後ダビデ聞ていひけるは我と我國はネルの子アブネルの血につきてヱホバのまへに永く罪あることなし
29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
其罪はヨアブの首と其父の全家に歸せよねがはくはヨアブの家には白濁を疾ものか癩病人か杖に倚ものか劍に仆るものか食物に乏しき者か絶ゆることあらざれと
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
ヨアブとその弟アビシヤイのアブネルを殺したるは彼がギベオンにて戰陣のうちにおのれの兄弟アサヘルをころせしによれり
31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
ダビデ、ヨアブおよびおのれとともにある民にいひけるは汝らの衣服を裂き麻の衣を著てアブネルのために哀哭くべしとダビデ王其棺にしたがふ
32 They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
人衆アブネルをヘブロンに葬れり王聲をあげてアブネルの墓に哭き又民みな哭けり
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
王アブネルの爲に悲の歌を作りて云くアブネル如何にして愚なる人の如くに死けん
34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.
汝の手は縛もあらず汝の足は鏈にも繋れざりしものを嗚呼汝は惡人のために仆る人のごとくにたふれたり斯て民皆再びかれのために哭けり
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
民みな日のあるうちにダビデにパンを食はしめんとて來りしにダビデ誓ひていひけるは若し日の沒まへに我パンにても何にても味ひなば神我にかくなし又重ねて斯なしたまへと
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
民皆見て之を其目に善しとせり凡て王の爲すところの事は皆民の目に善と見えたり
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
其日民すなはちイスラエル皆ネルの子アブネルを殺たるは王の所爲にあらざるを知れり
38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
王その臣僕にいひけるは今日一人の大將大人イスラエルに斃る汝らこれをしらざるや
39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May YHWH reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
我は膏そそがれし王なれども今日尚弱しゼルヤの子等なる此等の人我には制しがたしヱホバ惡をおこな者に其惡に隨ひて報いたまはん
