2 Samuel 20
1 And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, 'We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each 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 And every man of Israel goeth up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even unto 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 cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the king taketh the ten women-concubines — whom he had left to keep the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood living.
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 And the king saith unto Amasa, 'Call for me the men of Judah [in] three days, and thou, stand here,'
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 and Amasa goeth to call Judah, and tarrieth beyond the appointed time that 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 saith unto Abishai, 'Now doth Sheba son of Bichri do evil to us more than Absalom; thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he have found for himself fenced cities, and delivered himself [from] our eye.'
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 the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba 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 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; his long robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle — a sword [is] fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out, and it falleth.
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 saith to Amasa, 'Art thou [in] peace, my brother?' and the right hand of Joab layeth hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to 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 and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth [rib], and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath not repeated [it] to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai his brother have pursued after Sheba 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 a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and saith, 'He who hath delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David — 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 is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man seeth that all the people have stood still, and he bringeth round Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casteth over him a garment, when he hath seen that every one who hath come by him — hath 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 hath been removed out of the highway, every man hath passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba 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 passeth over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and go in 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 go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mount against the city, and it standeth in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
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 And a wise woman calleth out of the city, 'Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, and I speak unto 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 he cometh near unto her, and the woman saith, 'Art thou Joab?' and he saith, 'I [am].' And she saith to him, 'Hear the words of thy handmaid;' and he saith, 'I am hearing.'
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 and she speaketh, saying, 'They spake often in former times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they finished.
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] of the peaceable — faithful ones of Israel; thou art seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
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 answereth and saith, 'Far be it — far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor 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; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim — Sheba son of Bichri his name — hath lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and I go away from the city.' And the woman saith unto Joab, 'Lo, his head is cast unto 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 And the woman cometh unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] unto Joab, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and they are scattered from the city, each to his tents, and Joab hath turned back to Jerusalem unto 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 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
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 [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
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 [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] 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 also, Ira the Jairite hath been minister to David.
亦ヤイル人イラはダビデの大臣なり
