歴代誌Ⅰ 19
1 此後アンモンの子孫の王ナハシ死ければその子これに代りて王となりたり
After this also Nahash the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and his sonne reigned in his stead.
2 ダビデ言けるは我ナハシの子ヌンをねんごろに遇らはんかれが父われをねんごろにあしらひたればなりとダビデすなはち彼をその父の故によりて慰めんとて使者を遣はせりダビデの臣僕等アンモンの子孫の地に往きハヌンに詣りてこれを慰めけるに
And Dauid said, I will shew kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, because his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent messengers to comfort him for his father. So the seruants of Dauid came into the lande of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
3 アンモンの子孫の牧伯等ハヌンに言けるはダビデ慰籍者を汝につかはしたるに因て彼なんぢの父を尊ぶと汝の目に見ゆるや彼の臣僕等は此國を窺ひ探りて滅ぼさんとて來れるならずやと
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that Dauid doeth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters vnto thee? Are not his seruants come to thee to search, to seeke and to spie out the land?
4 是においてハヌン、ダビデの臣僕等を執へてその鬚を剃おとしその衣服を中より斷て腎までにして之を歸したりしが
Wherefore Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued them, and cut off their garments by the halfe vnto the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 或人きたりて此人々の爲られし事をダビデに告ければダビデ人をつかはして之を迎へしめたりその人々おほいに愧たればなり即ち王いひけるは汝ら鬚の長るまでヱリコに止まりて然る後かへるべしと
And there went certaine and tolde Dauid concerning the men: and he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King saide, Tarie at Iericho, vntill your beardes be growen: then returne.
6 アンモンの子孫自己のダビデに惡まるる樣になれるを見しかばハヌンおよびアンモンの子孫すなはち銀一千タラントをおくりてメソポタミヤとスリアマアカおよびゾバより戰車と騎兵とを雇ひいれたり
When the children of Ammon saw that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, then sent Hanun and the children of Ammon a thousande talents of siluer to hire them charets and horsemen out of Aram Naharaim and out of Aram Maachah, and out of Zobah.
7 即ち戰車三萬二千乗にマアカの王とその兵士を雇ひければ彼ら來りてメデバの前に陣を張り是においてアンモンの子孫その邑々より寄あつまりて戰はんとて來れり
And they hired them two and thirty thousande charets, and the King of Maachah and his people, which came and pitched before Medeba: and the children of Ammon gathered themselues together from their cities, and came to the battell.
8 ダビデ聞てヨアブと勇士の惣軍を遣しけるに
And when Dauid heard, he sent Ioab and all the hoste of the valiant men.
9 アンモンの子孫は出て邑の門の前に戰爭の陣列をなせり又援助に來れる王等は別に野に居り
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their battell in aray at the gate of the citie. And the Kings that were come, were by them selues in the fielde.
10 時にヨアブ前後より敵の攻寄るを見てイスラエルの倔強の兵士の中を抽擢て之をしてスリア人にむかひて陣列しめ
When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, then he chose out of all the choyse of Israel, and set him selfe in aray to meete the Aramites.
11 その餘の民をばその兄弟アビシヤイの手に交してアンモンの子孫にむかひて陣列しめ
And the rest of the people he deliuered vnto the hande of Abishai his brother, and they put them selues in aray against the children of Ammon.
12 而して言けるはスリア人もし我に手強からば汝我を助けよアンモンの子孫もし汝に手強からば我なんぢを助けん
And he saide, If Aram be too strong for me, then thou shalt succour me: and if the children of Ammon preuaile against thee, then I wil succour thee.
13 汝勇しくなれよ我儕の民のためと我らの神の諸邑のために我ら勇しく爲ん願くはヱホバその目に善と見ゆる所をなしたまへと
Be strong, and let vs shewe our selues valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord doe that which is good in his owne sight.
14 ヨアブ己に從へる民とともに進みよりてスリア人を攻撃けるにスリア人かれの前より潰奔れり
So Ioab and the people that was with him, came neere before the Aramites vnto the battel, and they fled before him.
15 アンモンの子孫はスリア人の潰奔れるを見て自己等もまたその兄弟アビシヤイの前より逃奔りて城邑にいりぬ是においてヨアブはヱルサレムに歸れり
And when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai his brother, and entred into the citie: so Ioab came to Ierusalem.
16 スリア人はそのイスラエルに撃やぶられたるを見て使者を遣はして河の彼旁なるスリア人を將ゐ出せりハダレゼルの軍旅の長シヨバクこれを率ゆ
And when the Aramites sawe that they were discomfited before Israel, they sent messengers and caused the Aramites to come forth that were beyond the riuer: and Shophach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went before them.
17 その事ダビデに聞えければ彼イスラエルを悉く集めヨルダンを渡りて彼らの所に來り之にむかひて戰爭の陣列を立たりダビデかく彼らにむかひて戰爭の陣列を立たれば彼らこれと戰へり
And when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israel, and went ouer Iorden, and came vnto them, and put him selfe in aray against them: And when Dauid had put him selfe in battel aray to meete the Aramites, they fought with him.
18 然るにスリア人イスラエルの前に潰たればダビデ、スリアの兵車の人七千歩兵四萬を殺しまた軍旅の長シヨバクを殺せり
But the Aramites fled before Israel, and Dauid destroyed of the Aramites seuen thousand charets, and fourtie thousand footemen, and killed Shophach the captaine of the hoste.
19 ハダレゼルの臣たる者等そのイスラエルに撃やぶられたるを見てダピデと和睦をなしてこれが臣となれりスリア人は此後ふたたびアンモンの子孫を助くることを爲ざりき
And when the seruants of Hadarezer sawe that they fell before Israel, they made peace with Dauid, and serued him. And the Aramites would no more succour the children of Ammon.
