2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
爰に一人の邪なる人あり其名をシバといビクリの子にしてベニヤミン人なり彼喇叭を吹ていひけるは我儕はダビデの中に分なし又ヱサイの子のうちに產業なしイスラエルよ各人其天幕に歸れよと
2 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
是によりてイスラエルの人皆ダビデに随ふことを止てのぼりビクリの子シバにしたがへり然どユダの人々は其王に附てヨルダンよりエルサレムにいたれり
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
ダビデ、エルサレムにある己の家にいたり王其遺して家を守らせたる妾なる十人の婦をとりてこれを一の室に守り置て養へりされどかれらの處には入ざりき斯かれらは死る日まで閉こめられて生涯嫠婦にてすごせり
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
爰に王アマサにいひけるは我ために三日のうちにユダの人々を召きたれしかして爾此處にをれ
5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
アマサ乃ちユダを召あつめんとて往たりしが彼ダビデが定めたる期よりも長く留れり
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.
是においてダビデ、アビシヤイにいひけるはビクリの子シバ今我儕にアブサロムよりもおほくの害をなさんとす爾の主の臣僕を率ゐて彼の後を追へ恐らくは彼堅固なる城邑を獲て我儕の目を逃れんと
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
是によりてヨアブの從者とケレテ人とペレテ人および都の勇士彼にしたがびて出たり即ち彼等エルサレムより出てビクリの子シバの後を追ふ
8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
彼等がギベオンにある大石の傍に居りし時アマサかれらにむかひ來れり時にヨアブ戎衣に帶を結て衣服となし其上に刀を鞘にをさめ腰に結びて帶び居たりしが其劍脱け堕ちたり
9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
ヨアブ、アマサにわが兄弟よ爾は平康なるやといひて右の手をもてアマサの鬚を將て彼に接吻せんとせしが
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
アマサはヨアブの手にある劍に意を留ざりければヨアブ其をもてアマサの腹を刺して其膓を地に流しいだし重ねて撃に及ばざらしめてこれをころせり かくてヨアブと其兄弟アビシヤイ、ビクリの子シバの後を追り
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.
時にヨアブの少者の一人アマサの側にたちていふヨアブを助くる者とダビデに附從ものはヨアブの後に隨へと
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
アマサは血に染て大路の中に轉び居たり斯人民の皆立どまるを見てアマサを大路より田に移したるが其側にいたれる者皆見て立ちとまりければ衣を其上にかけたり
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
アマサ大路より移されければ人皆ヨアブにしたがひ進みてビクリの子シバの後を追ふ
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after him.
彼イスラエルの凡の支派の中を行てアベルとベテマアカに至るに少年皆集りて亦かれにしたがひゆけり
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
かくて彼等來りて彼をアベル、ベテマアカに圍み城邑にむかひて壘を築けり是は壕の中にたてりかくしてヨアブとともにある民皆石垣を崩さんとてこれを撃居りしが
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
一箇の哲き婦城邑より呼はりていふ爾ら聽よ爾ら聽よ請ふ爾らヨアブに此に近よれ我爾に言んと言へと
17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
かれ其婦にちかよるに婦いひけるは爾はヨアブなるやかれ然りといひければ婦彼にいふ婢の言を聽けかれ我聽くといふ
18 Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They will surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
婦即ち語りていひけるは昔人々誠に語りて人必ずアベルにおいて索問べしといひて事を終ふ
19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
我はイスラエルの中の平和なる忠義なる者なりしかるに爾はイスラルの中にて母ともいふべき城邑を滅さんことを求む何ゆゑに爾ヱホバの產業を呑み盡さんとするや
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
ヨアブ答へていひけるは決めてしからず決めてしからずわれ呑み盡し或は滅ぼさんとすることなし
21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
其事しからずエフライムの山地の人ビクリの子名はシバといふ者手を擧て王ダビデに敵せり爾ら只彼一人を付せ然らば我此邑をさらんと婦ヨアブにいひけるは視よ彼の首級は石垣の上より爾に投いだすべし
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
かくて婦其智慧をもて凡の民の所にいたりければかれらビクリの子シバの首級を刎てヨアブの所に投出せり是においてヨアブ喇叭を吹ならしければ人々散て邑より退きておのおの其天幕に還りぬヨアブはエルサレムにかへりて王の處にいたれり
23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
ヨアブはイスラエルの全軍の長なりヱホヤダの子ベナヤはケレテ人とペレテ人の長なり
24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
アドラムは徴募長なりアヒルデの子ヨシヤパテは史官なり
25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
シワは書記官なりザドクとアビヤタルは祭司なり
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
亦ヤイル人イラはダビデの大臣なり
