2 Samuel 5
1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
イスラエルのすべての部族はヘブロンにいるダビデのもとにきて言った、「われわれは、あなたの骨肉です。
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
先にサウルがわれわれの王であった時にも、あなたはイスラエルを率いて出入りされました。そして主はあなたに、『あなたはわたしの民イスラエルを牧するであろう。またあなたはイスラエルの君となるであろう』と言われました」。
3 So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
このようにイスラエルの長老たちが皆、ヘブロンにいる王のもとにきたので、ダビデ王はヘブロンで主の前に彼らと契約を結んだ。そして彼らはダビデに油を注いでイスラエルの王とした。
4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
ダビデは王となったとき三十歳で、四十年の間、世を治めた。
5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
すなわちヘブロンで七年六か月ユダを治め、またエルサレムで三十三年、全イスラエルとユダを治めた。
6 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
王とその従者たちとはエルサレムへ行って、その地の住民エブスびとを攻めた。エブスびとはダビデに言った、「あなたはけっして、ここに攻め入ることはできない。かえって、めしいや足なえでも、あなたを追い払うであろう」。彼らが「ダビデはここに攻め入ることはできない」と思ったからである。
7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
ところがダビデはシオンの要害を取った。これがダビデの町である。
8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
その日ダビデは、「だれでもエブスびとを撃とうとする人は、水をくみ上げる縦穴を上って行って、ダビデが心に憎んでいる足なえやめしいを撃て」と言った。それゆえに人々は、「めしいや足なえは、宮にはいってはならない」と言いならわしている。
9 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
ダビデはその要害に住んで、これをダビデの町と名づけた。またダビデはミロから内の周囲に城壁を築いた。
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
こうしてダビデはますます大いなる者となり、かつ万軍の神、主が彼と共におられた。
11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, 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て、香柏および大工と石工を送った。彼らはダビデのために家を建てた。
12 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
そして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、主がその民イスラエルのためにその王国を興されたことを悟った。
13 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
ダビデはヘブロンからきて後、さらにエルサレムで妻とそばめを入れたので、むすこと娘がまたダビデに生れた。
14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
エルサレムで彼に生れた者の名は次のとおりである。シャンムア、ショバブ、ナタン、ソロモン、
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
イブハル、エリシュア、ネペグ、ヤピア、
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
エリシャマ、エリアダ、およびエリペレテ。
17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
さてペリシテびとは、ダビデが油を注がれてイスラエルの王になったことを聞き、みな上ってきてダビデを捜したが、ダビデはそれを聞いて要害に下って行った。
18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
ペリシテびとはきて、レパイムの谷に広がっていた。
19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
ダビデは主に問うて言った、「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渡されるでしょうか」。主はダビデに言われた、「上るがよい。わたしはかならずペリシテびとをあなたの手に渡すであろう」。
20 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
そこでダビデはバアル・ペラジムへ行って、彼らをその所で撃ち破り、そして言った、「主は、破り出る水のように、敵をわたしの前に破られた」。それゆえにその所の名はバアル・ペラジムと呼ばれている。
21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
ペリシテびとはその所に彼らの偶像を捨てて行ったので、ダビデとその従者たちはそれを運び去った。
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
ペリシテびとが、ふたたび上ってきて、レパイムの谷に広がったので、
23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
ダビデは主に問うたが、主は言われた、「上ってはならない。彼らのうしろに回り、バルサムの木の前から彼らを襲いなさい。
24 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
バルサムの木の上に行進の音が聞えたならば、あなたは奮い立たなければならない。その時、主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ある」。
25 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
ダビデは、主が命じられたようにして、ペリシテびとを撃ち、ゲバからゲゼルに及んだ。
