2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass, after this, that David enquired of Yahweh, saying—Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Yahweh said unto him, Go up. And David said—Whither shall I go up? And he said—Unto Hebron.
此のちダビデ、ヱホバに問ていひけるは我ユダのひとつの邑にのぼるべきやヱホバかれにいひたまひけるはのぼれダビデいひけるは何處にのぼるべきやヱホバいひたまひけるはヘブロンにのぼるべしと
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
ダビデすなはち彼處にのぼれりその二人の妻ヱズレル人アヒノアムおよびカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルもともにのぼれり
3 His men also who were with him, did David bring up, every man with his household, —and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
ダビデ其おのれとともにありし從者と其家族をことごとく將のぼりければ皆ヘブロンの諸巴にすめり
4 Then came the men of Judah, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, Men of Jabesh-gilead, were they who buried Saul.
時にユダの人々きたり彼處にてダビデに膏をそそぎてユダの家の王となせり 人々ダビデにつげてサウルを葬りしはヤベシギレアデの人なりといひければ
5 So David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, —and said unto them—Blessed, be ye of Yahweh, that ye did this lovingkindness unto your lord, unto Saul, and buried him.
ダビデ使者をヤベシギレアデの人におくりてこれにいひけるは汝らこの厚意を汝らの主サウルにあらはしてかれを葬りたればねがはくは汝らヱホバより福祉をえよ
6 Now, therefore, Yahweh requite you with lovingkindness and truth, —moreover also, I, will requite you, for this noble deed, in that ye did this thing.
ねがはくはヱホバ恩寵と眞實を汝等にしめしたまへ汝らこの事をなしたるにより我亦汝らに此恩惠をしめすなり
7 Now, therefore, let your hands be made firm, and become ye sons of valour, for your lord Saul is dead, —and, me, moreover have the house of Judah anointed, to be king over them.
されば汝ら手をつよくして勇ましくなれ汝らの主サウルは死たり又ユダの家我に膏をそそぎて我をかれらの王となしたればなりと
8 But, Abner son of Ner, prince of the host that pertained unto Saul, took Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
爰にサウルの軍の長ネルの子アブネル、サウルの子イシボセテを取りてこれをマナイムにみちびきわたり
9 and made him king for Gilead, and for the Ashurites, and for Jezreel, —and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over, all Israel.
ギレアデとアシユリ人とヱズレルとエフライムとベニヤミンとイスラエルの衆の王となせり
10 Forty years old, was Ish-bosheth son of Saul, when he began to reign over Israel, and, two years, reigned he, —but, the house of Judah, followed David.
サウルの子イシボセテはイスラエルの王となりし時四十歳にして二年のあひだ位にありしがユダの家はダビデにしたがへり
11 And it came to pass, that, the number of the days that David was king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
ダビデのヘブロンにありてユダの家の王たりし日數は七年と六ヶ月なりき
12 And Abner son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, came out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
ネルの子アブネル及びサウルの子なるイシボセテの臣僕等マハナイムを出てギベオンに至れり
13 And, Joab son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out from Hebron and met, by the pool of Gibeon, together, —and they sat down, these, by the pool, on the one side, and, those, by the pool, on the other side.
セルヤの子ヨアブとダビデの臣僕もいでゆけり彼らギベオンの池の傍にて出會一方は池の此畔に一方は池の彼畔に坐す
14 Then said Abner unto Joab, Let the young men arise, I pray thee, and make sport before us. And Joab said—Let them arise.
アブネル、ヨアブにいひけるはいざ少者をして起て我らのまへに戯れしめんヨアブいひけるは起しめんと
15 Then there arose, and went over by number, —twelve of Benjamin, pertaining to Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, and twelve, of the servants of David.
サウルの子イシボセテに屬するベニヤミンの人其數十二人及びダビデの臣僕十二人起て前み
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, with his sword in his fellow’s side, so they fell, together, —and that place was called Helkath-hazzadim ["Field of Plotters"], which is in Gideon.
おのおの其敵手の首を執へて劍を其敵手の脅に刺し斯して彼等倶に斃れたり是故に其處はヘルカテハヅリム(利劍の地)と稱らる即ちギベオンにあり
17 So the battle became exceeding obstinate, on that day, —and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
此日戰甚だ烈しくしてアブネルとイスラエルの人々ダビデの臣僕のまへに敗る
18 Now there were there, three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, —and, Asahel, was light of foot as a wild gazelle.
其處にゼルヤの三人の子ヨアブ、アビシヤイ、アサヘル居たりしがアサヘルは疾足なること野にをる麆のごとくなりき
19 And Asahel pursued Abner, —and turned not, in going, to the right hand or to the left, from pursuing Abner.
アサヘル、アブネルの後を追ひけるが行に右左にまがらずアブネルの後をしたふ
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said—Art thou Asahel? And he said—I am.
アブネル後を顧みていふ汝はアサヘルなるか彼しかりと答ふ
21 Then Abner said to him—Turn thee aside, to thy right hand, or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from pursuing him.
アブネルかれにいひけるは汝の右か左に轉向て少者の一人を擒へて其戎服を取れと然どアサヘル、アブネルをおふことを罷て外に向ふを肯ぜず
22 And Abner said, yet again, unto Asahel, Turn thee aside from pursuing me, —wherefore should I smite thee to the earth? how then should I lift up my face unto Joab, thy brother?
アブネルふたたびアサヘルにいふ汝我を追ことをやめて外に向へ我なんぞ汝を地に撃ち仆すべけんや然せば我いかでかわが面を汝の兄ヨアブにむくべけんと
23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside, wherefore Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear, in the belly, that the spear came out behind him, and he fell there, and died on the spot, —and so it was, that, as many as came up to the place where Asahel fell and died, stood still.
然どもかれ外にむかふことをいなむによりアブネル槍の後銛をもてかれの腹を刺しければ槍その背後にいでたりかれ其處にたふれて立時に死り斯しかばアサヘルの仆れて死るところに來る者は皆たちどまれり
24 Then Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, —but, the sun, had gone in by the time, they, had come as far as the hill of Ammah, that overlooketh Giah, by way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
されどヨアブとアビシヤイはアブネルの後を追きたりしがギベオンの野の道傍にギアの前にあるアンマの山にいたれる時日暮ぬ
25 And, when the sons of Benjamin had gathered themselves together after Abner, and become one band, —and had taken their stand on the top of a certain hill,
ベニヤミンの子孫アブネルにしたがひて集まり一隊となりてひとつの山の頂にたてり
26 then Abner cried aloud unto Joab, and said—To the uttermost, must the sword devour? Dost thou not well know that, bitter, shall it be, in the latter end? How long, then, wilt thou not bid the people turn back from pursuing their own brethren?
爰にアブネル、ヨアブをよびていひけるは刀劍豈永久にほろぼさんや汝其終りには怨恨を結ぶにいたるをしらざるや汝何時まで民に其兄弟を追ふことをやめてかへることを命ぜざるや
27 Then said Joab—As God liveth, surely, if thou hadst not spoken, then in the morning, the people would of themselves have gone up, every man from pursuing his brother.
ヨアブいひけるは神は活く若し汝が言出さざりしならば民はおのおの其兄弟を追はずして今晨のうちにさりゆきしならんと
28 So Joab blew with the horn, and all the people stood still, and they neither pursued Israel further, —nor fought any more.
かくてヨアブ喇叭を吹きければ民皆たちどまりて再イスラエルの後を追はずまたかさねて戰はざりき
29 And, Abner and his men, journeyed through the waste plain all that night, —and crossed the Jordan, and went through all the Bithron, and entered Mahanaim.
アブネルと其從者終夜アラバを經ゆきてヨルダンを濟りビテロンを通りてマハナイムに至れり
30 And, Joab, returned from pursuing Abner, and, when he had gathered together all the people, there were missing of the servants of David—nineteen men, and Asahel;
ヨアブ、アブネルを追ことをやめて歸り民をことごとく集めたるにダビデの臣僕十九人とアサヘル缺てをらざりき
31 but, the servants of David, had smitten of Benjamin, of the men of Abner, —[so that] three hundred and sixty men, had died.
されどダビデの臣僕はベニヤミンとアブネルの從者三百六十人を撃ち殺せり
32 And they carried Asahel, and buried him in the grave of his father, which was in Bethlehem, —and Joab and his men journeyed all the night, and had daylight in Hebron.
人々アサヘルを取りあげてベテレヘムにある其父の墓に葬るヨアブと其從者は終夜ゆきて黎明にヘブロンにいたれり
