2 Samuel 15

1 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Absalom prepareth for himself a chariot, and horses, and fifty men are running before him;

此後アブサロム己のために戰車と馬ならびに己のまへに驅る者五十人を備たり

2 and Absalom hath risen early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate, and it cometh to pass, every man who hath a pleading to come unto the king for judgment, that Absalom calleth unto him, and saith, 'Of what city [art] thou?' and he saith, 'Of one of the tribes of Israel [is] thy servant.'

アブサロム夙く興きて門の途の傍にたち人の訴訟ありて王に裁判を求めんとて來る時はアブサロム其人を呼ていふ爾は何の邑の者なるやと其人僕はイスラエルの某の支派の者なりといへば

3 And Absalom saith unto him, 'See, thy matters [are] good and straightforward — and there is none hearkening to thee from the king.'

アブサロム其人にいふ見よ爾の事は善くまた正し然ど爾に聽くべき人は王いまだ立ずと

4 And Absalom saith, 'Who doth make me a judge in the land, that unto me doth come every man who hath a plea and judgment? — then I have declared him righteous.'

アブサロム又嗚呼我を此地の士師となす者もがな然れば凡て訴訟と公事ある者は我に來りて我之に公義を爲しあたへんといふ

5 And it hath come to pass, in the drawing nearing of any one to bow himself to him, that he hath put forth his hand, and laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him;

また人彼を拝せんとて近づく時は彼手をのばして其人を扶け之に接吻す

6 and Absalom doth according to this thing to all Israel who come in for judgment unto the king, and Absalom stealeth the heart of the men of Israel.

アブサロム凡て王に裁判を求めんとて來るイスラエル人に是のごとくなせり斯アブサロムはイスラエルの人々の心を取り

7 And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absalom saith unto the king, 'Let me go, I pray thee, and I complete my vow, that I vowed to Jehovah in Hebron,

斯て四年の後アブサロム王にいひけるは請ふ我をして往てヘブロンにてヱホバに我嘗て立し願を果さしめよ

8 for a vow hath thy servant vowed in my dwelling in Geshur, in Aram, saying, If Jehovah doth certainly bring me back to Jerusalem, then I have served Jehovah.'

其は僕スリアのゲシユルに居し時願を立て若しヱホバ誠に我をエルサレムに携歸りたまはば我ヱホバに事へんと言たればなりと

9 And the king saith to him, 'Go in peace;' and he riseth and goeth to Hebron,

王かれにいひけるは安然に往けと彼すなはち起てヘブロンに往り

10 and Absalom sendeth spies through all the tribes of Israel, saying, 'At your hearing the voice of the trumpet, then ye have said, Absalom hath reigned in Hebron.'

しかしてアブサロム窺ふ者をイスラエルの支派の中に徧く遣はして言せけるは爾等喇叭の音を聞ばアブサロム、ヘブロンにて王となれりと思ふべしと

11 And with Absalom have gone two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, invited ones, and they are going in their simplicity, and have not known anything;

二百人の招かれたる者エルサレムよりアブサロムとともにゆけり彼らは何心なくゆきて何事をもしらざりき

12 and Absalom sendeth Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counsellor of David, out of his city, out of Gilo, in his sacrificing sacrifices; and the conspiracy is strong, and the people are going and increasing with Absalom.

アブサロム犠牲をささぐる時にダビデの議官ギロ人アヒトペルを其邑ギロより呼よせたり徒黨強くして民次第にアブサロムに加はりぬ

13 And he who is declaring tidings cometh in unto David, saying, 'The heart of the men of Israel hath been after Absalom.'

爰に使者ダビデに來りてイスラエルの人の心アブサロムにしたがふといふ

14 And David saith to all his servants who [are] with him in Jerusalem, 'Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the face of Absalom; haste to go, lest he hasten, and have overtaken us, and forced on us evil, and smitten the city by the mouth of the sword.'

ダビデおのれと共にエルサレムに居る凡ての僕にいひけるは起てよ我ら逃ん然らずば我らアブサロムより遁るるあたはざるべし急ぎ往け恐らくは彼急ぎて我らに追ひつき我儕に害を蒙らせ刃をもて邑を撃ん

15 And the servants of the king say unto the king, 'According to all that my lord the king chooseth — lo, thy servants [do].'

王の僕等王にいひけるは視よ僕等王わが主の選むところを凡て爲ん

16 And the king goeth out, and all his household at his feet, and the king leaveth ten women — concubines — to keep the house.

王いでゆき其全家これにしたがふ王十人の妾なる婦を遺して家をまもらしむ

17 And the king goeth out, and all the people at his feet, and they stand still at the farthest off house.

王いでゆき民みな之にしたがふ彼等遠の家に息めり

18 And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on at the front of the king.

かれの僕等みな其傍に進みケレテ人とペレテ人および彼にしたがひてガテよりきたれる六百人のガテ人みな王のまへに進めり

19 And the king saith unto Ittai the Gittite, 'Why dost thou go — thou also — with us? turn back — and abide with the king, for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile thou — to thy place.

時に王がガテ人イツタイにいひけるは何ゆゑに爾もまた我らとともにゆくや爾かへりて王とともにをれ爾は外國人にして移住て處をもとむる者なり

20 Yesterday [is] thy coming in, and to-day I move thee to go with us, and I am going on that which I am going! — turn back, and take back thy brethren with thee, — kindness and truth.'

爾は昨日來れり我は今日わが得るところに往くなれば豈爾をして我らとともにさまよはしむべけんや爾歸り爾の兄弟をも携歸るべしねがはくは恩と眞實爾とともにあれ

21 And Ittai answereth the king and saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and my lord the king liveth, surely in the place where my lord the king is — if for death, if for life, surely there is thy servant.'

イツタイ王に答へていひけるはヱホバは活く王わが主は活く誠に王わが主いかなる處に坐すとも生死ともに僕もまた其處に居るべし

22 And David saith unto Ittai, 'Go and pass over;' and Ittai the Gittite passeth over, and all his men, and all the infants who [are] with him.

ダビデ、イツタイにいひけるは進みゆけガテ人イツタイ乃ち進みかれのすべての從者およびかれとともにある妻子皆進めり

23 And all the land are weeping — a great voice, and all the people are passing over; and the king is passing over through the brook Kidron, and all the people are passing over on the front of the way of the wilderness;

國中皆大聲をあげて哭き民皆進む王もまたキデロン川を渡りて進み民皆進みて野の道におもむけり

24 and lo, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they make the ark of God firm, and Abiathar goeth up, till the completion of all the people to pass over out of the city.

視よザドクおよび倶にあるレビ人もまた皆神の契約の櫃を舁ていたり神の櫃をおろして民の悉く邑よりいづるをまてりアビヤタルもまたのぼれり

25 And the king saith to Zadok, 'Take back the ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He hath brought me back, and shewn me it and His habitation;

ここに王ザドクにいひけるは神の櫃を邑に舁もどせ若し我ヱホバのまへに恩をうるならばヱホバ我を携かへりて我にこれを見し其往處を見したまはん

26 and if thus He say, I have not delighted in thee; here [am] I, He doth to me as [is] good in His eyes.'

されどヱホバもし汝を悦ばずと斯いひたまはば視よ我は此にあり其目に善と見ゆるところを我になしたまへ

27 And the king saith unto Zadok the priest, 'Art thou a seer? turn back to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;

王また祭司ザドクにいひけるは汝先見者汝らの二人の子即ち汝の子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンを伴ひて安然に城邑に歸れ

28 see ye, I am tarrying in the plains of the wilderness till the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.'

見よ我は汝より言のきたりて我に告るまで野の渡場に留まらんと

29 And Zadok taketh back — and Abiathar — the ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.

ザドクとアビヤタルすなはち神の櫃をエルサレムに舁もどりて彼處に止まれり

30 And David is going up in the ascent of the olives, going up and weeping, and he hath the head covered, and he is going barefooted, and all the people who [are] with him have covered each his head, and have gone up, going up and weeping;

ここにダビデ橄欖山の路を陟りしが陟るときに哭き其首を蒙みて跣足にて行りかれと倶にある民皆各其首を蒙みてのぼり哭つつのぼれり

31 and David declared, saying, 'Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom;' and David saith, 'Make foolish, I pray Thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Jehovah.'

時にアヒトペルがアブサロムに與せる者の中にあることダビデに聞えければダビデいふヱホバねがはくはアヒトペルの計策を愚ならしめたまへと

32 And it cometh to pass, David hath come unto the top, where he boweth himself to God, and lo, to meet him [is] Hushai the Archite, his coat rent, and earth on his head;

ダビデ嶺にある神を拝する處に至れる時視よアルキ人ホシヤイ衣を裂き土を頭にかむりてきたりてダビデを迎ふ

33 and David saith to him, 'If thou hast passed on with me then thou hast been on me for a burden,

ダビデかれにいひけるは爾若し我とともに進まば我の負となるべし

34 and if to the city thou dost turn back, and hast said to Absalom, Thy servant I am, O king; servant of thy father I [am] also hitherto, and now, I [am] also thy servant; then thou hast made void for me the counsel of Ahithophel;

されど汝もし城邑にかへりてアブサロムにむかひ王よ我爾の僕となるべし此まで爾の父の僕たりしごとく今また汝の僕となるべしといはば爾はわがためにアヒトペルの計策を敗るにいたらん

35 and are there not with thee there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? and it hath been, the whole of the matter that thou hearest from the house of the king thou dost declare to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.

祭司ザドクとアビヤタル爾とともに彼處にあるにあらずや是故に爾が王の家より聞たる事はことごとく祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに告べし

36 Lo, there with them [are] their two sons, Ahimaaz to Zadok, and Jonathan to Abiathar, and ye have sent by their hand unto me anything that ye hear.'

視よかれらとともに彼處にはその二人の子即ちザドクの子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンをるなり爾ら其聞たる事をことごとく彼等の手によりて我に通ずべし

37 And Hushai, David's friend, cometh in to the city, and Absalom cometh in to Jerusalem.

ダビデの友ホシヤイすなはち城邑にいたりぬ時にアブサロムはエルサレムに入居たり
