2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
此後アンモンの子孫の王死て其子ハヌン之に代りて位に即く
2 David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
ダビデ我ナハシの子ハヌンにその父の我に恩惠を示せしごとく恩惠を示さんといひてダビデかれを其父の故によりて慰めんとて其僕を遣せりダビデの僕アンモンの子孫の地にいたるに
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
アンモンの子孫の諸伯其主ハヌンにいひけるはダビデ慰者を汝に遣はしたるによりて彼汝の父を崇むと汝の目に見ゆるやダビデ此城邑を窺ひこれを探りて陷いれんために其僕を汝に遣はせるにあらずや
4 Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
是においてハヌン、ダビデの僕を執へ其鬚の半を剃り落し其衣服を中より斷て股までにしてこれを歸せり
5 The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
人々これをダビデに告たればダビデ人を遣はしてかれらを迎へしむ其人々大に恥たればなり即ち王いふ汝ら鬚の長るまでヱリコに止まりて然るのち歸るべしと
6 Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
アンモンの子孫自己のダビデに惡まるるを見しかばアンモンの子孫人を遣はしてベテレホブのスリア人とゾバのスリア人の歩兵二萬人およびマアカの王より一千人トブの人より一萬二千人を雇いれたり
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
ダビデ聞てヨアブと勇士の惣軍を遣はせり
8 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
アンモンの子孫出て門の入口に軍の陣列をなしたりゾバとレホブのスリア人およびトブの人とマアカの人は別に野に居り
9 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
ヨアブ戰の前後より己に向ふを見てイスラエルの選抜の兵の中を選みてこれをスリア人に對ひて備へしめ
10 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
其餘の民をば其兄弟アビシヤイの手に交してアンモンの子孫に向て備へしめて
11 Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
いひけるは若スリア人我に手強からば汝我を助けよ若アンモンの子孫汝に手剛からば我ゆきて汝をたすけん
12 We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
汝勇ましくなれよ我ら民のためとわれらの神の諸邑のために勇しく爲んねがはくはヱホバ其目によしと見ゆるところをなしたまへ
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
ヨアブ己と共に在る民と共にスリア人にむかひて戰んとて近づきければスリア人彼のまへより逃たり
14 And when [the soldiers of] the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
アンモンの子孫スリア人の逃たるを見て亦自己等もアビシヤイのまへより逃て城邑にいりぬヨアブすなはちアンモンの子孫の所より還りてエルサレムにいたる
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
スリア人其イスラエルのまへに敗れたるを見て倶にあつまれり
16 [Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
ハダデゼル人をやりて河の前岸にをるスリア人を將ゐ出して皆ヘラムにきたらしむハダデゼルの軍の長シヨバクかれらを率ゐたり
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
其事ダビデに聞えければ彼イスラエルを悉く集めてヨルダンを渉りてヘラムに來れりスリア人ダビデに向ひて備へ之と戰ふ
18 But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
スリア人イスラエルのまへより逃ければダビデ、スリアの兵車の人七百騎兵四萬を殺し又其軍の長シヨバクを撃てこれを其所に死しめたり
19 When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
ハダデゼルの臣なる王等其イスラエルのまへに壞れたるを見てイスラエルと平和をなして之に事へたり斯スリア人は恐れて再びアンモンの子孫を助くることをせざりき
