歴代誌Ⅰ 13

1 茲にダビデ千人の長百人の長などの諸將とあひ議り

And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders.

2 而してダビデ、イスラエルの全會衆に言けるは汝らもし之を善とし我らの神ヱホバこれを允したまはば我ら徧く人を遣してイスラエルの各地に留まれる我らの兄弟ならびにその諸郊地の邑々にをる祭司とレビ人とに至らせ之をして我らの所に集まらしめん

And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather themselves to us,

3 而して我らまた我らの神の契約の櫃を我らの所に移さんサウルの世には我ら之に就て詢ことをせざりしなりと

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it not in the days of Saul.

4 會衆みな然すべしと言り其は民みな此事を善と觀たればなり

And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word pleased all the people.

5 是においてダピデはキリアテヤリムより神の契約の櫃を舁きたらんとてエジプトのジホルよりハマテの入口までのイスラエル人をことごとく召あつめ

So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.

6 而してダビデ、イスラエルの一切の人とともにバアラといふユダのキリアテヤリムに上り往きケルビムの上に坐したまふヱホバ神の名をもて稱らるる契約の櫃を其處より舁のぼらんとし

And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.

7 乃ち神の契約の櫃を新しき車に載てアビナダブの家より牽いだしウザとアヒオその車を御せり

And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, out of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.

8 ダビデおよびイスラエルの人はみな歌と琴と瑟と鼗鼓と鐃鈸と喇叭などを以て力をきはめ歌をうたひて神の前に踊れり

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets,

9 かくてキドンの禾場に至れる時ウザ手を神の契約の櫃に伸してこれを扶へたり其は牛これを振たればなり

And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side.

10 ウザその手を伸て契約の櫃につけたるによりてヱホバこれに向ひて忿怒を發してこれを撃たまびければ其處にて神の前に死り

And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.

11 ヱホバ、ウザを撃たまひしに因てダビデ怒れり其處は今日までペレヅウザ(ウザ撃)と稱へらる

And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.

12 その日ダビデ神を畏れて言り我なんぞ神の契約の櫃を我所に舁ゆくべけんやと

And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me?

13 ダビデその契約の櫃を己のところダビデの城邑にうつさず之を轉らしてガテ人オベデエドムの家に舁いらしめたり

And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite.

14 神の契約の櫃オベデエドムの家にありて其家族とともにおかかるること三月なりきヱホバ、オベデエドムの家とその一切の所有を祝福たまへり

And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
