1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
ツロの王ヒラムはダビデに使者をつかわし、彼のために家を建てさせようと香柏および石工と木工を送った。
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
ダビデは主が自分を堅く立ててイスラエルの王とされたことと、その民イスラエルのために彼の国を大いに興されたことを悟った。
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
ダビデはエルサレムでまた妻たちをめとった。そしてダビデにまたむすこ、娘が生れた。
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
彼がエルサレムで得た子たちの名は次のとおりである。すなわちシャンマ、ショバブ、、ナタン、ソロモン、
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
イブハル、エリシュア、エルペレテ、
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
ノガ、ネペグ、ヤピア、
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
エリシャマ、ベエリアダ、エリペレテである。
8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
さてペリシテびとはダビデが油を注がれて全イスラエルの王になったことを聞いたので、ペリシテびとはみな上ってきてダビデを捜した。ダビデはこれを聞いてこれに当ろうと出ていったが、
9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
ペリシテびとはすでに来て、レパイムの谷を侵した。
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
ダビデは神に問うて言った、「ペリシテびとに向かって上るべきでしょうか。あなたは彼らをわたしの手にわたされるでしょうか」。主はダビデに言われた、「上りなさい。わたしは彼らをあなたの手にわたそう」。
11 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
そこで彼はバアル・ペラジムへ上っていった。その所でダビデは彼らを打ち敗り、そして言った、「神は破り出る水のように、わたしの手で敵を破られた」。それゆえ、その所の名はバアル・ペラジムと呼ばれている。
12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
彼らが自分たちの神をそこに残して退いたので、ダビデは命じてこれを火で焼かせた。
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
ペリシテびとは再び谷を侵した。
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
ダビデが再び神に問うたので神は言われた、「あなたは彼らを追って上ってはならない。遠回りしてバルサムの木の前から彼らを襲いなさい。
15 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
バルサムの木の上に行進の音が聞えたならば、あなたは行って戦いなさい。神があなたの前に出てペリシテびとの軍勢を撃たれるからです」。
16 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
ダビデは神が命じられたようにして、ペリシテびとの軍勢を撃ち破り、ギベオンからゲゼルに及んだ。
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
そこでダビデの名はすべての国々に聞えわたり、主はすべての国びとに彼を恐れさせられた。
