1 Kings 1

1 And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,

爰にダビデ王年邁みて老い寝衣を衣するも温らざりければ

2 and his servants say to him, 'Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.'

其臣僕等彼にいひけるは王わが主のために一人の若き處女を求めしめて之をして王のまへにたちて王の左右となり汝の懐に臥て王わが主を暖めしめんと

3 And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,

彼等乃ちイスラエルの四方の境に美き童女を求めてシユナミ人アビシヤグを得て之を王に携きたれり

4 and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known her.

此童女甚だ美くして王の左右となり王に事たり然ど王之と交はらざりき

5 And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, 'I do reign;' and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,

時にハギテの子アドニヤ自ら高くし我は王とならんと言て己のために戰車と騎兵および自己のまへに驅る者五十人を備へたり

6 and his father hath not grieved him [all] his days, saying, 'Wherefore thus hast thou done?' and he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.

其父は彼が生れてより已來汝何故に然するやと言てかれを痛しめし事なかりきアドニヤも亦容貌の甚だ美き者にてアブサロムの次に生れたり

7 And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

彼ゼルヤの子ヨアブおよび祭司アビヤタルと商議ひしかば彼等之に從ひゆきて助けたり

8 and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah.

されど祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと預言者ナタンおよびシメイとレイならびにダビデに屬したる勇士はアドニヤに與せざりき

9 And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that [is] by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;

アドニヤ、エンロゲルの近邊なるゾヘレテの石の傍にて羊と牛と肥畜を宰りて王の子なる己の兄弟および王の臣僕なるユダの人を盡く請けり

10 and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.

されども預言者ナタンとベナヤと勇士とおのれの兄弟ソロモンとをば招かざりき

11 And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?

爰にナタン、ソロモンの母バテシバに語りていひけるは汝ハギテの子アドニヤが王となれるを聞ざるかしかるにわれらの主ダビデはこれを知ざるなり

12 and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;

されば請ふ來れ我汝に計を授て汝をして己の生命と汝の子ソロモンの生命を救しめん

13 go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?

汝往てダビデ王の所に入り之にいへ王わが主よ汝は婢に誓ひて汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんといひたまひしにあらずや然にアドニヤ何故に王となれるやと

14 Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.'

われまた汝が尚其處にて王と語ふ時に汝に次て入り汝の言を證すべしと

15 And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king:

是においてバテシバ寝室に入りて王の所にいたるに王は甚だ老てシユナミ人アビシヤグ王に事へ居たり

16 and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, 'What — to thee?'

バテシバ躬を鞠め王を拝す王いふ何なるや

17 And she saith to him, 'My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

かれ王にいひけるはわが主汝は汝の神ヱホバを指て婢に汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんと誓ひたまへり

18 and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;

しかるに視よ今アドニヤ王となれり而て王わが主汝は知たまはず

19 and he sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host — and for Solomon thy servant he hath not called.

彼は牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子および祭司アビヤタルと軍の長ヨアブを招けりされど汝の僕ソロモンをば招かざりき

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on thee, to declare to them who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;

汝王わが主よイスラエルの目皆汝に注ぎ汝が彼等に誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを告るを望む

21 and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon — [reckoned] sinners.'

王わが主の其父祖と共に寝たまはん時に我とわが子ソロモンは罪人と見做さるるにいたらんと

22 And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come in;

バテシバ尚王と語ふうちに視よ預言者ナタンも亦入きたりければ

23 and they declare to the king, saying, 'Lo, Nathan the prophet;' and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself to the king, on his face to the earth.

人々王に告て預言者ナタン此にありと曰ふ彼王のまへに入り地に伏て王を拝せり

24 And Nathan saith, 'My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

しかしてナタンいひけるは王わが主汝はアドニヤ我に継で王となりわが位に坐すべしといひたまひしや

25 for he hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let king Adonijah live!

彼は今日下りて牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子と軍の長等と祭司アビヤタルを招けりしかして彼等はアドニヤのまへに飮食してアドニヤ王壽かれと言ふ

26 'And for me — me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant, he hath not called;

されど汝の僕なる我と祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと汝の僕ソロモンとは彼請かざるなり

27 if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou hast not caused thy servant to know who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.'

此事は王わが主の爲たまふ所なるかしかるに汝誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを僕に知せたまはざるなりと

28 And king David answereth and saith, 'Call for me for Bath-Sheba;' and she cometh in before the king, and standeth before the king.

ダビデ王答ていふバテシバをわが許に召せと彼乃ち王のまへに入て王のまへにたつに

29 And the king sweareth and saith, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;

王誓ひていひけるはわが生命を諸の艱難の中に救ひたまひしヱホバは活く

30 surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.'

我イスラエルの神ヱホバを指て誓ひて汝の子ソロモン我に継で王となり我に代りてわが位に坐すべしといひしごとくに我今日爲すべしと

31 And Bath-Sheba boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance to the king, and saith, 'Let my lord, king David, live to the age.'

是においてバテシバ躬を鞠め地に伏て王を拝し願くはわが主ダビデ王長久に生ながらへたまへといふ

32 And king David saith, 'Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;' and they come in before the king.

ダビデ王いひけるはわが許に祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤを召と彼等乃ち王のまへに來る

33 And the king saith to them, 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,

王彼等にいひけるは汝等の主の臣僕を伴ひわが子ソロモンをわが身の騾に乗せ彼をギホンに導き下り

34 and anointed him there hath Zadok the priest — and Nathan the prophet — for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;

彼處にて祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンは彼に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの上に王と爲すべししかして汝ら喇叭を吹てソロモン王壽かれと言へ

35 and ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.'

かくして汝ら彼に隨ひて上り來るべし彼は來りてわが位に坐し我に代りて王となるべし我彼を立てイスラエルとユダの上に主君となせりと

36 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, 'Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;

ヱホヤダの子ベナヤ王に對へていひけるはアメンねがはくは王わが主の神ヱホバ然言たまはんことを

37 as Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and doth make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.'

ねがはくはヱホバ王わが主とともに在せしごとくソロモンとともに在してその位をわが主ダビデ王の位よりも大ならしめたまはんことを

38 And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon,

斯て祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人下りソロモンをダビデ王の騾に乗せて之をギホンに導きいたれり

39 and Zadok the priest taketh the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, 'Let king Solomon live.'

しかして祭司ザドク幕屋の中より膏の角を取てソロモンに膏そそげりかくて喇叭を吹きならし

40 And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing — great joy, and the earth rendeth with their voice.

民みなソロモン王壽かれと言り民みなかれに隨ひ上りて笛を吹き大に喜祝ひ地はかれらの聲にて裂たり

41 And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise of the trumpet, and saith, 'Wherefore [is] the noise of the city roaring?'

アドニヤおよび彼とともに居たる賓客其食を終たる時に皆これを聞りヨアブ喇叭の聲を聞ていひけるは城邑の中の聲音何ぞ喧囂やと

42 He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, 'Come in, for a man of valour thou [art], and thou bearest good tidings.'

彼が言をる間に視よ祭司アビヤタルの子ヨナタン來るアドニヤ彼にいひけるは入よ汝は勇ある人なり嘉音を持きたれるならん

43 And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, 'Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,

ヨナタン答へてアドニヤにいひけるは誠にわが主ダビデ王ソロモンを王となしたまへり

44 and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king's mule,

王祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人をソロモンとともに遣したまふ即ち彼等はソロモンを王の騾に乗せてゆき

45 and they anoint him — Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet — for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that ye have heard.

祭司ザドクと預言者ナタン、ギホンにて彼に膏をそそぎて王となせり而して彼等其處より歓て上るが故に城邑は諠囂し汝らが聞る聲音は是なり

46 'And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom,

又ソロモン國の位に坐し

47 and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne; and the king boweth himself on the bed,

且王の臣僕來りてわれらの主ダビデ王に祝を陳て願くは汝の神ソロモンの名を汝の名よりも美し其位を汝の位よりも大たらしめたまへと言りしかして王は牀の上にて拝せり

48 and also thus hath the king said, Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath given to-day [one] sitting on my throne, and mine eyes seeing.'

王また斯いへりイスラエルの神ヱホバはほむべきかなヱホバ今日わが位に坐する者を與たまひてわが目亦これを見るなりと

49 And they tremble, and rise — all those called who [are] for Adonijah — and go, each on his way;

アドニヤとともにある賓客皆驚愕き起て各其途に去りゆけり

50 and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

茲にアドニヤ、ソロモンの面を恐れ起て往き壇の角を執へたり

51 And it is declared to Solomon, saying, 'Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day — he doth not put to death his servant by the sword.'

或人ソロモンに告ていふアドニヤ、ソロモン王を畏る彼壇の角を執て願くはソロモン王今日我に劍をもて僕を殺じと誓ひ給へと言たりと

52 And Solomon saith, 'If he becometh a virtuous man — there doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in him — then he hath died.'

ソロモンいひけるは彼もし善人となるならば其髮の毛一すぢも地におちざるべし然ど彼の中に惡の見るあらば死しむべしと

53 And king Solomon sendeth, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he cometh in and boweth himself to king Solomon, and Solomon saith to him, 'Go to thy house.'

ソロモン王乃ち人を遣て彼を壇より携下らしむ彼來りてソロモン王を拝しければソロモン彼に汝の家に往といへり
