2 Samuel 12
1 Then Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him and said, “There were once two men in a city. One man was rich and the other poor.
ヱホバ、ナタンをダビデに遣はしたまへば彼ダビデに至りてこれにいひけるは一の邑に二箇の人あり一は富て一は貧し
2 The rich man had huge numbers of flocks and herds,
其富者は甚だ多くの羊と牛を有り
3 but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and fed and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. The lamb even ate with him and drank from his own cup, and it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
されど貧者は唯自己の買て育てたる一の小き牝羔の外は何をも有ざりき其牝羔彼およびかれの子女とともに生長ちかれの食物を食ひかれの椀に飮みまた彼の懐に寝て彼には女子のごとくなりき
4 One day a visitor came to the rich man, but the rich man was unwilling to take an animal from his own flocks and herds to provide food for him. Instead he took the poor man's ewe lamb and cooked it for his visitor.”
時に一人の旅人其富る人の許に來りけるが彼おのれの羊と牛の中を取りてそのおのれに來れる旅人のために烹を惜みてかの貧き人の牝羔を取りて之をおのれに來れる人のために烹たり
5 David was hot with anger against the rich man, and he raged to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to be put to death.
ダビデ其人の事を大に怒りてナタンにいひけるはヱホバは生く誠に此をなしたる人は死べきなり
6 He must pay back the lamb four times over because he did such a thing, and because he had no pity on the poor man.”
且彼此事をなしたるに因りまた憐憫まざりしによりて其牝羔を四倍になして償ふべし
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you out of the hand of Saul.
ナタン、ダビデにいひけるは汝は其人なりイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯いひたまふ我汝に膏を沃いでイスラエルの王となし我汝をサウルの手より救ひいだし
8 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your arms. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah. But if that had been too little, I would have given you many other things in addition.
汝に汝の主人の家をあたへ汝の主人の諸妻を汝の懐に與へまたイスラエルとユダの家を汝に與へたり若し少からば我汝に種々の物を増くはへしならん
9 So why have you despised the commands of Yahweh, so as to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your own wife. You killed him with the sword of the army of Ammon.
何ぞ汝ヱホバの言を藐視じて其目のまへに惡をなせしや汝刃劍をもてヘテ人ウリヤを殺し其妻をとりて汝の妻となせり即ちアンモンの子孫の劍をもて彼を斬殺せり
10 So now the sword will never leave your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your wife.'
汝我を軽んじてヘテ人ウリヤの妻をとり汝の妻となしたるに因て劍何時までも汝の家を離るることなかるべし
11 Yahweh says, 'Look, I will raise up disaster against you out of your own house. Before your own eyes, I will take your wives and give them to your neighbor, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.
ヱホバ斯いひたまふ視よ我汝の家の中より汝の上に禍を起すべし我汝の諸妻を汝の目のまへに取て汝の隣人に與へん其人此日のまへにて汝の諸妻とともに寝ん
12 For you committed your sin secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, in the sunlight.'”
其は汝は密に事をなしたれど我はイスラエルの衆のまへと日のまへに此事をなすべければなりと
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan replied to David, “Yahweh also has passed over your sin. You will not be killed.
ダビデ、ナタンにいふ我ヱホバに罪を犯したりナタン、ダビデにいひけるはヱホバまた汝の罪を除きたまへり汝死ざるべし
14 However, because by this act you have despised Yahweh, the child who is born to you will surely die.”
されど汝此所行によりてヱホバの敵に大なる罵る機會を與へたれば汝に生れし其子必ず死べしと
15 Then Nathan left and went home. Yahweh attacked the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
かくてナタン其家にかへれり 爰にヱホバ、ウリヤの妻がダビデに生る子を撃たまひければ痛く疾めり
16 David then implored God for the boy. David fasted and went inside and lay all night on the floor.
ダビデ其子のために神に乞求む即ちダビデ斷食して入り終夜地に臥したり
17 The elders of his house arose and stood beside him, to raise him up from the floor, but he would not get up, and he would not eat with them.
ダビデの家の年寄等彼の傍に立ちてかれを地より起しめんとせしかども彼肯ぜず又かれらとともに食を爲ざりき
18 It came about on the seventh day that the child died. David's servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was still alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. What might he do to himself if we tell him that the boy is dead?!”
第七日に其子死りダビデの僕其子の死たることをダビデに告ることを恐れたりかれらいひけるは子の尚生る間に我儕彼に語たりしに彼我儕の言を聽いれざりき如何ぞ彼に其子の死たるを告ぐべけんや彼害を爲んと
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. He said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They answered, “He is dead.”
然にダビデ其僕の私語くを見てダビデ其子の死たるを暁れりダビデ乃ち其僕に子は死たるやといひければかれら死りといふ
20 Then David arose from the floor and washed himself, anointed himself, and changed his clothes. He went to the tabernacle of Yahweh and worshiped there, and then he came back to his own palace. When he asked for it, they set food before him, and he ate.
是においてダビデ地よりおきあがり身を洗ひ膏をぬり其衣服を更てヱホバの家にいりて拝し自己の家に至り求めておのれのために食を備へしめて食へり
21 Then his servants said to him, “Why have you done this? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you got up and ate.”
僕等彼にいひけるは此の汝がなせる所は何事なるや汝子の生るあひだはこれがために斷食して哭きながら子の死る時に汝は起て食を爲すと
22 David answered, “While the child was still alive I fasted and wept. I said, 'Who knows whether or not Yahweh will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
ダビデいひけるは嬰孩の尚生るあひだにわが斷食して哭きたるは我誰かヱホバの我を憐れみて此子を生しめたまふを知んと思ひたればなり
23 But now he is dead, so why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
されど今死たれば我なんぞ斷食すべけんや我再びかれをかへらしむるを得んや我かれの所に往べけれど彼は我の所にかへらざるべし
24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and slept with her. Later she gave birth to a son, and the child was named Solomon. Yahweh loved him
ダビデ其妻バテシバを慰めかれの所にいりてかれとともに寝たりければ彼男子を生りダビデ其名をソロモンと呼ぶヱホバこれを愛したまひて
25 and he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because Yahweh loved him.
預言者ナタンを遣はし其名をヱホバの故によりてヱデデア(ヱホバの愛する者)と名けしめたまふ
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and he captured the royal city.
爰にヨアブ、アンモンの子孫のラバを攻めて王城を取れり
27 So Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, and I have taken the city's water supply.
ヨアブ使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは我ラバを攻て水城を取れり
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the army together and camp against the city and take it, because if I take the city, it will be named after me.”
されば汝今餘の民を集め斯城に向て陣どりて之を取れ恐らくは我此城を取て人我名をもて之を呼にいたらんと
29 So David gathered all the army together and went to Rabbah; he fought against the city and captured it.
是においてダビデ民を悉くあつめてラバにゆき攻て之を取り
30 David took the crown from their king's head—it weighed a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it. The crown was placed on David's own head. Then he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
しかしてダビデ、アンモン王の冕を其首より取はなしたり其金の重は一タラントなりまた寶石を嵌たりこれをダビデの首に置ダビデ其邑の掠取物を甚だ多く持出せり
31 He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes; he also made them work at brick kilns. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
かくてダビデ其中の民を將いだしてこれを鋸と鐵の千歯と鐵の斧にて斬りまた瓦陶の中を通行しめたり彼斯のごとくアンモンの子孫の凡ての城邑になせりしかしてタビデと民は皆エルサレムに還りぬ
