2 Samuel 19
1 Joab was told, “Look, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”
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 So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the army, for the army heard it said that day, “The king is mourning for his son.”
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 had to sneak quietly into the city that day, like people who are ashamed sneak away when they run 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 and cried in a loud voice, “My son Absalom, 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 into the house to the king and said to him, “You have shamed the faces of all your soldiers today, who have saved your life today, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of 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 because you love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. For today you have shown that commanders and soldiers are nothing to you. Today I believe that if Absalom had lived, and we all had died, then that would have pleased you.
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 Now therefore get up and go out and speak kindly to your soldiers, for I swear by Yahweh, if you do not go, not one man will remain with you tonight. That would be worse for you than all the disasters that have ever happened to you from your youth until now.”
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 sat in the city gate, and all the people were told, “Look, the king is sitting in the gate,” and all the people came before the king. So Israel fled, every man to his home.
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 All the people were arguing with each other throughout all the tribes of Israel saying, “The king rescued us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has run out of the land because of Absalom.
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 Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
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 sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace, since the talk of all Israel favors the king, to bring him back to his palace?
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 brothers, my flesh and bone. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'
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 Then say to Amasa, 'Are you not my flesh and my bone? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not captain of my army from now on in the place 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 So he won the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man. They sent to the king saying, “Return, you and all your men.”
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 returned and came to the Jordan. Now the men of Judah came to Gilgal to go to meet the king and then to bring the king across the Jordan.
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 son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried down with the men 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 one thousand men from Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants with him. They crossed through the Jordan in the presence of 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 They crossed to bring over the king's family and to do whatever he thought good. Shimei son of Gera bowed down before the king just before he began to cross the Jordan.
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 Shimei said to the king, “Do not, my master, find me guilty or call to mind the wrong your servant did the day my master the king left Jerusalem. Please, may the king not take it to heart.
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 For your servant knows that I have sinned. See, that is why I have come today as the first from all the family of Joseph to come down to meet my master the king.”
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 son of Zeruiah answered and said, “Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh's anointed?”
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 Then David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should today be adversaries to me? Will any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?”
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 So the king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” So the king promised him with an oath.
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 Mephibosheth son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had not dressed his feet, or trimmed his beard, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he came home in peace.
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 So when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 He answered, “My master the king, my servant deceived me, for I said, 'I will saddle a donkey so I may ride on it and go with the king, because your servant is lame.'
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 My servant Ziba has slandered me, your servant, to my master the king. But my master the king is like an angel of God. Therefore, do what is good in your eyes.
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 For all my father's house were dead men before my master the king, but you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I that I should still cry any more to the king?”
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 Then the king said to him, “Why explain anything further? I have decided that you and Ziba will divide the fields.”
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 So Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Yes, let him take it all, since my master the king has come safely to his own home.”
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 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim to cross over the Jordan with the king, and he accompanied the king over the Jordan.
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 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old. He had furnished the king with provisions while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
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 over with me, and I will provide for you to stay with me in Jerusalem.”
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 Barzillai replied to the king, “How many days are left in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
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 eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a burden to my master the king?
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 Your servant would like to just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
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 Please let your servant return back home, so I may die in my own city by the grave of my father and my mother. But see, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my master the king, and do for him what 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 answered, “Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you, and whatever you desire from me, I do that for you.”
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 all the people crossed the Jordan, and the king crossed over, and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Then Barzillai returned to his own 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 So the king crossed over to Gilgal, and Kimham crossed over with him. All the army of Judah brought the king over, and also half the army of Israel.
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 Soon all the men of Israel began to come to the king and say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king and his family over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?”
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 So the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “It is because the king is more closely related to us. Why then are you angry about this? Have we eaten anything that the king had to pay for? Has he 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 Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten tribes related to the king, so we have even more right to David than you. Why then did you despise us? Was not our proposal to bring back our king the first to be heard?” But the words of the men of Judah were even more harsh than the words of the men of Israel.
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
