1 Chronicles 17
1 After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
ダビデその家に住にいたりてダビデ預言者ナタンに言けるは觀よ我は香柏の家に住む然れどもヱホバの契約の櫃は幕の下にありと
2 Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
ナタン、ダビデに言けるは神なんぢとともに在せば凡て汝の心にある所を爲せ
3 But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
その夜神の言ナタンに臨みて曰く
4 “Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple for me to live in.
往てわが僕ダビデに言へヱホバかく言ふ汝は我ために我の住べき家を建べからず
5 I have not lived in any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
我はイスラエルを導びき上りし日より今日にいたるまで家に住しこと無して但幕屋より幕屋に移り天幕より天幕に遷れり
6 Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
我イスラエルの人々と共に歩みたる處々にて我わが民を牧養ふことを命じたるイスラエルの士師の一人にもなんぢ何故に香柏の家を我ために建ざるやと一言にても言し事ありや
7 Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
然ば汝わが僕ダビデに斯言べし萬軍のヱホバかく言ふ我なんぢを牧場より取り羊に隨がふ處より取て我民イスラエルの君長と爲し
8 I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the earth.
汝が凡て往る處にて汝と偕にあり汝の諸の敵を汝の前より斷されり我また世の中の大なる人の名のごとき名を汝に得させん
9 Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
かつ我わが民イスラエルのために處を定めて彼らを植つけ彼らをして自己の處に住て重て動くこと無らしめん
又惡人昔のごとく即ち我民イスラエルの上に士師を立たる時より已來のごとく重ねて彼らを荒すこと無るべし我汝の諸の敵を圧服ん且今我汝に告ぐヱホバまた汝のために家を建ん
11 When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
汝の日の滿汝ゆきて先祖等と偕になる時は我汝の生る汝の子を汝の後に立て且その國を堅うせん
12 He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel forever.
彼わが爲に家を建ん我ながく彼の位を堅うせん
13 I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
我は彼の父となり彼はわが子となるべし我は汝の先にありし者より取たるごとくに彼よりは我恩惠を取さらじ
14 I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
却て我かれを永く我家に我國に居置ん彼の位は何時までも堅く立べし
15 So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
ナタン凡て是等の言のごとく凡てこの異象のごとくダビデに語りければ
16 Then David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
ダビデ王入てヱホバの前に坐して言けるはヱホバ神よ我は誰わが家は何なれば汝此まで我を導きたまひしや
17 “And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
神よ是はなほ汝の目には小き事たりヱホバ神よ汝はまた僕の家の遥後の事を語り高き者のごとくに我を見俲たまへり
18 “What more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well what I am like,
僕の名譽についてはダビデこの上何をか汝に望むべけん汝は僕を知たまふなり
19 Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
ヱホバよ汝は僕のため又なんぢの心に循ひて此もろもろの大なる事を爲し此すべての大なる事を示たまへり
20 “Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
ヱホバよ我らが凡て耳に聞る所に依ば汝のごとき者は無くまた汝の外に神は無し
21 And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
地の何の國か汝の民イスラエルに如ん是は在昔神の往て贖ひて己の民となして大なる畏るべき事を行なひて名を得たまひし者なり汝はそのエジプトより贖ひいだせし汝の民の前より國々の人を逐はらひたまへり
22 You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
而して汝は汝の民イスラエルを永く汝の民となしたまふヱホバよ汝は彼らの神となりたまへり
23 “And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
然ばヱホバよ汝が僕とその家につきて宣まひし言を永く堅うして汝の言し如く爲たまへ
24 When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
願くは汝の名の堅く立ち永久に崇められて萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神はイスラエルに神たりと曰れんことを願くは僕ダビデの家の汝の前に堅く立んことを
25 “You, my God, have revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
我神よ汝は僕の耳に示して之が爲に家を建んと宣へり是によりて僕なんぢの前に祈る道を得たり
26 Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
ヱホバよ汝は即ち神にましまし此恩典を僕に傳たまへり
27 And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
願くは今僕の家を祝福て汝の前に永く在しめたまへ其はヱホバよ汝の祝福たまへる者は永く祝福を蒙ればなり
