歴代誌Ⅰ 20

1 年かへりて王等の戰爭に出る時におよびてヨアブ軍勢を率ゐて出でアンモン人の地を打荒し往てラバを攻圍りされどダビデはヱルサレムに止まりたりヨアブつひにラバを撃壞りてこれを滅ぼせり

In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.

2 ダビデ彼らの王の冠冕をその首より取はなしたりしがその金の重を量り見るに一タラントありまたその中に寶石を嵌たるありき之をダビデの首に冠らせたり彼また甚だ衆多の掠取物をその邑より取り

Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.

3 而して彼またその中の民を曳いだし鋸と鐵の打車と斧とをもてこれを斬りダビデ、アンモンの子孫の一切の邑に斯く爲り而してダビデとその民はみなヱルサレムに歸りぬ

David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.

4 この後ゲゼルにおいてペリシテ人と戰爭おこりたりしがその時にホシヤ人シベカイ巨人の子孫の一人なるシバイを殺せり彼等つひに攻伏られき

Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.

5 復ペリシテ人と戰爭ありしがヤイルの子エルハナン、ガテのゴリアテの兄弟ラミを殺せりラミの槍の柄は機の滕の如くなりき

Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 またガテに戰爭ありしが其處に一人の身長き人ありその手の指と足の趾は六宛にして合せて二十四あり彼も巨人の生る者なりき

And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

7 彼イスラエルを挑みしかばダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナタンこれを殺せり

and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

8 是等はガテにて巨人の生る者なりしがダビデの手とその臣僕の手に斃れたり

So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
