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
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
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
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people 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
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy 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
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their 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
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
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 people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, 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
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 ダビデ聞てヨアブと勇士の惣軍を遣しけるに
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty 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
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
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
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
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
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people 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
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May Jehovah do that which seems good to him."
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 Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; 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
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
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
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, 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
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
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
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
