< 2 Samuel 11 >
1 And it was to [the] return of the year to [the] time of - [the] going out of (messengers *LBH(a+C)*) and he sent David Joab and servants his with him and all Israel and they destroyed [the] people of Ammon and they laid siege on Rabbah and David [was] remaining in Jerusalem.
春になって、王たちが戦いに出るに及んで、ダビデはヨアブおよび自分と共にいる家来たち、並びにイスラエルの全軍をつかわした。彼らはアンモンの人々を滅ぼし、ラバを包囲した。しかしダビデはエルサレムにとどまっていた。
2 And it was - to [the] time of the evening and he arose David from on bed his and he walked about on [the] roof of [the] house of the king and he saw a woman bathing from on the roof and the woman [was] good of appearance very.
さて、ある日の夕暮、ダビデは床から起き出て、王の家の屋上を歩いていたが、屋上から、ひとりの女がからだを洗っているのを見た。その女は非常に美しかった。
3 And he sent David and he enquired of the woman and he said ¿ not [is] this Bath-sheba [the] daughter of Eliam [the] wife of Uriah the Hittite.
ダビデは人をつかわしてその女のことを探らせたが、ある人は言った、「これはエリアムの娘で、ヘテびとウリヤの妻バテシバではありませんか」。
4 And he sent David messengers and he took her and she came to him and he lay with her and she [was] purifying herself from uncleanness her and she returned to house her.
そこでダビデは使者をつかわして、その女を連れてきた。女は彼の所にきて、彼はその女と寝た。(女は身の汚れを清めていたのである。)こうして女はその家に帰った。
5 And she conceived the woman and she sent and she told to David and she said [am] pregnant I.
女は妊娠したので、人をつかわしてダビデに告げて言った、「わたしは子をはらみました」。
6 And he sent David to Joab send to me Uriah the Hittite and he sent Joab Uriah to David.
そこでダビデはヨアブに、「ヘテびとウリヤをわたしの所につかわせ」と言ってやったので、ヨアブはウリヤをダビデの所につかわした。
7 And he came Uriah to him and he asked David to [the] welfare of Joab and to [the] welfare of the people and to [the] welfare of the battle.
ウリヤがダビデの所にきたので、ダビデは、ヨアブはどうしているか、民はどうしているか、戦いはうまくいっているかとたずねた。
8 And he said David to Uriah go down to house your and wash feet your and he went out Uriah from [the] house of the king and it went out after him [the] gift of the king.
そしてダビデはウリヤに言った、「あなたの家に行って、足を洗いなさい」。ウリヤは王の家を出ていったが、王の贈り物が彼の後に従った。
9 And he lay down Uriah [the] entrance of [the] house of the king with all [the] servants of lord his and not he went down to house his.
しかしウリヤは王の家の入口で主君の家来たちと共に寝て、自分の家に帰らなかった。
10 And people told to David saying not he has gone down Uriah to house his and he said David to Uriah ¿ not from a journey [are] you coming why? not have you gone down to house your.
人々がダビデに、「ウリヤは自分の家に帰りませんでした」と告げたので、ダビデはウリヤに言った、「旅から帰ってきたのではないか。どうして家に帰らなかったのか」。
11 And he said Uriah to David the ark and Israel and Judah [are] dwelling in booths and lord my Joab and [the] servants of lord my on [the] face of the open country [are] encamping and I will I go? to house my to eat and to drink and to lie with wife my [by] [the] life of you and [by] [the] life of self your if I will do the thing this.
ウリヤはダビデに言った、「神の箱も、イスラエルも、ユダも、小屋の中に住み、わたしの主人ヨアブと、わが主君の家来たちが野のおもてに陣を取っているのに、わたしはどうして家に帰って食い飲みし、妻と寝ることができましょう。あなたは生きておられます。あなたの魂は生きています。わたしはこの事をいたしません」。
12 And he said David to Uriah remain in this [place] also this day and tomorrow I will let go you and he remained Uriah in Jerusalem on the day that and from [the] next day.
ダビデはウリヤに言った、「きょうも、ここにとどまりなさい。わたしはあす、あなたを去らせましょう」。そこでウリヤはその日と次の日エルサレムにとどまった。
13 And he summoned him David and he ate before him and he drank and he made drunk him and he went out in the evening to lie down on bed his with [the] servants of lord his and to house his not he went down.
ダビデは彼を招いて自分の前で食い飲みさせ、彼を酔わせた。夕暮になって彼は出ていって、その床に、主君の家来たちと共に寝た。そして自分の家には下って行かなかった。
14 And it was in the morning and he wrote David a letter to Joab and he sent [it] by [the] hand of Uriah.
朝になってダビデはヨアブにあてた手紙を書き、ウリヤの手に託してそれを送った。
15 And he wrote in the letter saying set Uriah to [the] front of [the] face of the battle severe and you will turn back from after him and he will be struck down and he will die.
彼はその手紙に、「あなたがたはウリヤを激しい戦いの最前線に出し、彼の後から退いて、彼を討死させよ」と書いた。
16 And it was when watched Joab against the city and he put Uriah to the place where he knew that men of strength [were] there.
ヨアブは町を囲んでいたので、勇士たちがいると知っていた場所にウリヤを置いた。
17 And they went out [the] men of the city and they fought with Joab and it fell some of the people some of [the] servants of David and he died also Uriah the Hittite.
町の人々が出てきてヨアブと戦ったので、民のうち、ダビデの家来たちにも、倒れるものがあり、ヘテびとウリヤも死んだ。
18 And he sent Joab and he told to David all [the] matters of the battle.
ヨアブは人をつかわして戦いのことをつぶさにダビデに告げた。
19 And he commanded the messenger saying when finishing you all [the] matters of the battle to speak to the king.
ヨアブはその使者に命じて言った、「あなたが戦いのことをつぶさに王に語り終ったとき、
20 And it will be if it will rise [the] anger of the king and he will say to you why? did you draw near to the city to fight ¿ not did you know this: they will shoot from on the wall.
もし王が怒りを起して、『あなたがたはなぜ戦おうとしてそんなに町に近づいたのか。彼らが城壁の上から射るのを知らなかったのか。
21 Who? did he strike down Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Besheth ¿ not a woman did she throw on him a mill-stone an upper mill-stone from on the wall and he died in Thebez why? did you draw near to the wall and you will say also servant your Uriah the Hittite he has died.
エルベセテの子アビメレクを撃ったのはだれか。ひとりの女が城壁の上から石うすの上石を投げて彼をテベツで殺したのではなかったか。あなたがたはなぜそんなに城壁に近づいたのか』と言われたならば、その時あなたは、『あなたのしもべ、ヘテびとウリヤもまた死にました』と言いなさい」。
22 And he went the messenger and he came and he told to David all that he had sent him Joab.
こうして使者は行き、ダビデのもとにきて、ヨアブが言いつかわしたことをことごとく告げた。
23 And he said the messenger to David for they prevailed over us the men and they came out against us the open country and we were on them to [the] entrance of the gate.
使者はダビデに言った、「敵はわれわれよりも有利な位置を占め、出てきてわれわれを野で攻めましたが、われわれは町の入口まで彼らを追い返しました。
24 (And they shot arrows *Q(K)*) (the archers *Q(k)*) to servants your from on the wall and they have died some of [the] servants of the king and also servant your Uriah the Hittite he has died.
その時、射手どもは城壁からあなたの家来たちを射ましたので、王の家来のある者は死に、また、あなたの家来ヘテびとウリヤも死にました」。
25 And he said David to the messenger thus you will say to Joab may not it be displeasing in view your the thing this that like this and like this it devours the sword strengthen battle your against the city and tear down it and encourage him.
ダビデは使者に言った、「あなたはヨアブにこう言いなさい、『この事で心配することはない。つるぎはこれをも彼をも同じく滅ぼすからである。強く町を攻めて戦い、それを攻め落しなさい』と。そしてヨアブを励ましなさい」。
26 And she heard [the] wife of Uriah that he had died Uriah husband her and she mourned on husband her.
ウリヤの妻は夫ウリヤが死んだことを聞いて、夫のために悲しんだ。
27 And it passed the mourning and he sent David and he gathered her to house his and she became of him a wife and she bore to him a son and it was displeasing the thing which he had done David in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
その喪が過ぎた時、ダビデは人をつかわして彼女を自分の家に召し入れた。彼女は彼の妻となって男の子を産んだ。しかしダビデがしたこの事は主を怒らせた。
