2 Samuel 19
1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
時にヨアブに告る者ありていふ視よ王はアブサロムの爲に哭き悲しむと
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
其日の勝利は凡の民の悲哀となれり其は民其日王は其子のために憂ふと言ふを聞たればなり
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
其日民は戰爭に逃て羞たる民の竊て去がごとく竊て城邑にいりぬ
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
王は其面を掩へり王大聲に叫てわが子アブサロムよアブサロムわが子よわが子よといふ
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
ここにヨアブ家にいり王の許にいたりていひけるは汝今日汝の生命と汝の男子汝の女子の生命および汝の妻等の生命と汝の妾等の生命を救ひたる汝の凡の臣僕の顔を羞させたり
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
是は汝おのれを惡む者を愛しおのれを愛する者を惡むなり汝今日汝が諸侯伯をも諸僕をも顧みざるを示せり今日我さとる若しアブサロム生をりて我儕皆死たらば汝の目に適ひしならん
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
されど今立て出で汝の諸僕を慰めてかたるべし我ヱホバを指て誓ふ汝若し出ずば今夜一人も汝とともに止るものなかるべし是は汝が若き時より今にいたるまでに蒙りたる諸の災禍よりも汝に惡かるべし
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
是に於て王たちて門に坐す人々凡の民に告て視よ王は門に坐し居るといひければ民皆王のまへにいたる然どイスラエルはおのむの其天幕に逃かへれり
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
イスラエルの諸の支派の中に民皆爭ひていひけるは王は我儕を敵の手より救ひいだしまた我儕をペリシテ人の手より助けいだせりされど今はアブサロムのために國を逃いでたり
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
また我儕が膏そそぎて我儕の上にかきしアブサロムは戰爭に死ねりされば爾ら何ぞ王を導きかへらんことと言ざるや
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
ダビデ王祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに言つかはしけるはユダの長老等に告て言ヘイスラエルの全家の言語王の家に達せしに爾ら何ぞ王を其家に導きかへる最後となるや
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
爾等はわが兄弟爾らはわが骨肉なりしかるになんぞ爾等王を導き歸る最後となるやと
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
又アマサに言べし爾はわが骨肉にあらずや爾ヨアブにかはりて常にわがまへにて軍長たるべし若しからずば神我に斯なし又重ねてかくなしたまへと
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
かくダビデ、ユダの凡の人をして其心を傾けて一人のごとくにならしめければかれら王にねがはくは爾および爾の諸の臣僕歸りたまへといひおくれり
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
是において王歸りてヨルダンにいたるにユダの人々王を迎へんとて來りてギルガルにいたり王を送りてヨルダンを濟らんとす
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
時にバホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ急ぎてユダの人々とともに下りダビデ王を迓ふ
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
一千のベニヤミン人彼とともにあり亦サウルの家の僕ヂバも其十五人の男子と二十人の僕をしたがへて偕に居たりしが皆王のまへにむかひてヨルダンをこぎ渡れり
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
時に王の家族を濟しまた王の目に善と見ゆるところを爲んとて濟舟を濟せり爰にゲラの子シメイ、ヨルダンを濟れる時王のまへに伏して
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
王にいひけるはわが主よねがはくは罪を我に歸するなかれまた王わが主のエルサレムより出たまへる日に僕が爲たる惡き事を記憶えたまふなかれねがはくは王これを心に置たまふなかれ
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
其は僕我罪を犯したるを知ればなり故に視よ我今日ヨセフの全家の最初に下り來りて王わが主を迓ふと
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
然にゼルヤの子アビシヤイ答へていひけるはシメイはヱホバの膏そそぎし者を詛たるに因て其がために誅さるべきにあらずやと
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
ダビデいひけるは爾らゼルヤの子よ爾らのあづかるところにあらず爾等今日我に敵となる今日豈イスラエルの中にて人を誅すべけんや我豈わが今日イスラエルの王となりたるをしらざらんやと
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
是をもて王はシメイに爾は誅されじといひて王かれに誓へり
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
爰にサウルの子メピボセテ下りて王をむかふ彼は王の去し日より安かに歸れる日まで其足を飾らず其鬚を飾らず又其衣を濯ざりき
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
彼エルサレムよりきたりて王を迓ふる時王かれにいひけるはメビボセテ爾なんぞ我とともに往ざりしや 彼こたへけるはわが主王よわが僕我を欺けり僕はわれ驢馬に鞍おきて其に乗て王の處にゆかんといへり僕跛者なればなり
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
しかるに彼僕を王わが主に讒言せり然ども王わが主は神の使のごとし故に爾の目に善と見るところを爲たまへ
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
わが父の全家は王わが主のまへには死人なるのみなるに爾僕を爾の席にて食ふ者の中に置たまへりされば我何の理ありてか重ねて王に哀訴ることをえん
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
王かれにいひけるは爾なんぞ重ねて爾の事を言や我いふ爾とヂバ其地を分つべし
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
メピボセテ王にいひけるは王わが主安然に其家に歸りたまひたればかれに之を悉くとらしめたまへと
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
爰にギレアデ人バルジライ、ロゲリムより下り王を送りてヨルダンを渡らんとて王とともにヨルダンを濟れり
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
バルジライは甚だ老たる人にて八十歳なりきかれは甚だ大なる人なれば王のマハナイムに留れる間王を養へり
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
王バルジライにいひけるは爾我とともに濟り來れ我エルサレムにて爾を我とともに養はん
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
バルジライ王にいひけるはわが生命の年の日尚幾何ありてか我王とともにエルサレムに上らんや
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
我は今日八十歳なり善きと惡きとを辨へるをえんや僕其食ふところと飮ところを味ふをえんや我再び謳歌之男と謳歌之女の聲を聽えんや僕なんぞ尚王わが主の累となるべけんや
36 I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
僕は王とともにヨルダンを濟りて只少しくゆかん王なんぞこの報賞を我に報ゆるに及ばんや
37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
請ふ僕を歸らしめよ我自己の邑にてわが父母の墓の側に死ん但し僕キムハムを視たまへかれを王わが主とともに濟り往しめたまへ又爾の目に善と見る所を彼になしたまへ
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
王いひけるはキムハム我とともに濟り往くべし我爾の目に善と見ゆる所をかれに爲ん又爾が望みて我に求むる所は皆我爾のために爲すべしと
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
民皆ヨルダンを濟れり王渡りし時王バルジライに接吻してこれを祝す彼遂に己の所に歸れり
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
かくて王ギルガルに進むにキムハムかれとともに進めりユダの民皆王を送れりイスラエルの民の半も亦しかり
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
是にイスラエルの人々皆王の所にいたりて王にいひけるは我儕の兄弟なるユダの人々何故に爾を竊みさり王と其家族およびダビデとともなる其凡の從者を送りてヨルダンを濟りしやと
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
ユダの人々皆イスラエルの人々に對へていふ王は我に近きが故なり爾なんぞ此事について怒るや我儕王の物を食ひしことあるや王我儕に賜物を與へたることあるや
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
イスラエルの人ユダの人に對ていひけるは我は王のうちに十の分を有ち亦ダビデのうちにも我は爾よりも多を有つなりしかるに爾なんぞ我らを軽じたるやわが王を導きかへらんと言しは我最初なるにあらずやとされどユダの人々の言はイスラエルの人々の言よりも厲しかりき
