歴代誌Ⅰ 21
1 茲にサタン起りてイスラエルに敵しダビデを感動してイスラエルを核數しめんとせり
And Satan stoode vp against Israel, and prouoked Dauid to nomber Israel.
2 ダビデすなはちヨアブと民の牧伯等に言けるは汝等ゆきてベエルシバよりダンまでのイスラエル人を數へその數をとりきたりて我に知せよ
Therefore Dauid said to Ioab, and to the rulers of the people, Go, and nomber Israel from Beer-sheba euen to Dan, and bring it to me, that I may knowe the nomber of them.
3 ヨアブ答へけるは幾何あるとも願くはヱホバその民を百倍に増たまへ然ながら王わが主よ是はみな我主の僕ならずや然に何とて我主この事を爲んと要たまふや何ぞイスラエルをして之によりて罪を獲せしむべけんやと
And Ioab answered, The Lord increase his people an hundreth times so many as they be, O my lord the King: are they not all my lords seruats? wherefore doeth my lord require this thing? why should he be a cause of trespasse to Israel?
4 されど王つひにヨアブに言勝たればヨアブすなはち出ゆきイスラエルを徧く行めぐりてヱルサレムに還れり
Neuerthelesse the Kings word preuailed against Ioab. And Ioab departed and went thorowe all Israel, and returned to Ierusalem.
5 而してヨアブ民の總數をダビデに告たり即ちイスラエルの中には劍を帶る者一百十萬人ありユダの中には劍を帶る者四十七萬人ありき
And Ioab gaue the nomber and summe of the people vnto Dauid: and all Israel were eleuen hundreth thousande men that drewe sword: and Iudah was foure hundreth and seuentie thousande men that drewe sword.
6 但しレビとベニヤミンとはその中に數へざりき其はヨアブ王の言を惡みたればなり
But the Leuites and Beniamin counted he not among them: for the Kings worde was abominable to Ioab.
7 この事神の目に惡かりければイスラエルを撃なやましたまへり
And God was displeased with this thing: therefore he smote Israel.
8 ダビデ是において神に申しけるは我この事をなして大に罪を獲たり然ども今ねがはくは僕の罪を除きたまへ我はなはだ愚なる事をなせりと
Then Dauid saide vnto God, I haue sinned greatly, because I haue done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, remooue the iniquitie of thy seruant: for I haue done very foolishly.
9 時にヱホバ、ダビデの先見者ガデにきて言たまひけるは
And the Lord spake vnto Gad Dauids Seer, saying,
10 往てダビデに告て言へヱホバかく言ふ我なんぢに三のものを示す汝その一を撰べ我それを汝に爲んと
Goe and tell Dauid, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three thinges: choose thee one of them, that I may doe it vnto thee.
11 ガデすなはちダビデの許に至り之に言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝擇べよ
So Gad came to Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Take to thee
12 即ち三年の饑饉か又は汝三月の間汝の敵の前に敗れて汝の仇の劍に追しかれんか又は三日の間ヱホバの劍すなはち疫病この國にありてヱホバの使者イスラエルの四方の境の中にて撃滅ぼすことをせんか我が如何なる答を我を遣せし者に爲べきかを汝決めよ
Either three yeeres famine, or three moneths to be destroyed before thine aduersaries, and the sworde of thine enemies to take thee, or els the sworde of the Lord and pestilence in the lande three dayes, that the Angel of the Lord may destroy throughout all the coastes of Israel: nowe therefore aduise thee, what word I shall bring againe to him that sent me.
13 ダビデ、ガデに言けるは我おほいに苦む請ふ我はヱホバの手に陷らん其憐憫甚だおほいなればなり人の手には陷らじと
And Dauid said vnto Gad, I am in a wonderfull strait. let me nowe fall into the hande of the Lord: for his mercies are exceeding great, and let me not fall into the hande of man.
14 是においてヱホバ、イスラエルに疫病を降したまひければイスラエルの人七萬人斃れたり
So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel, and there fell of Israel seuentie thousande men.
15 神また使者をヱルサレムに遣してこれを滅ぼさんとしたまひしが其これを滅ぼすにあたりてヱホバ視てこの禍害をなせしを悔い其ほろぼす使者に言たまひけるは足り今なんぢの手を住めよと時にヱホバの使者はヱブス人オルナンの打場の傍に立をる
And God sent the Angel into Ierusalem to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the Lord behelde, and repented of the euill and sayde to the Angel that destroyed, It is nowe ynough, let thine hande cease. Then the Angel of the Lord stoode by the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.
16 ダビデ目をあげて視るにヱホバの使者地と天の間に立て抜身の劍を手にとりてヱルサレムの方にこれを伸をりければダビデと長老等麻布を衣て俯伏り
And Dauid lift vp his eyes, and sawe the Angel of the Lord stande betweene the earth and the heauen with his sworde drawen in his hand, and stretched out towarde Ierusalem. Then Dauid and the Elders of Israel, which were clothed in sacke, fell vpon their faces.
17 而してダビデ神に申しけるは民を數へよと命ぜし者は我ならずや罪を犯し惡き事をなしたる者は我なり然れども是等の羊は何をなせしや我神ヱホバよ請ふ汝の手を我とわが父の家に加へたまへ惟汝の民に加へて之を疚めたまふ勿れと
And Dauid said vnto God, Is it not I that commanded to nomber the people? It is euen I that haue sinned and haue committed euil, but these sheepe what haue they done? O Lord my God, I beseech thee, let thine hande be on me and on my fathers house, and not on thy people for their destruction.
18 時にヱホバの使者ガデに命じ汝ダビデに告てダビデをして上りゆきてヱブス人オルナンの打場にてヱホバのために一箇の壇を築しめよと言り
Then the Angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to Dauid, that Dauid should goe vp, and set vp an altar vnto the Lord in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.
19 是においてダビデはガデがヱホバの名をもて告たる言にしたがひて上りゆけり
So Dauid went vp according to the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the Name of the Lord.
20 オルナンは麥を打ゐけるが回顧て天の使の居るを視その四人の子等とともに匿れたり
And Ornan turned about, and sawe the Angel, and his foure sonnes, that were with him, hid them selues, and Ornan thresshed wheat.
21 やがてダビデはオルナンの方に來りけるがオルナン望てダビデを見すなはち打場より出ゆきて面を地につけてダビデを拝せり
And as Dauid came to Ornan, Ornan looked and sawe Dauid, and went out of the thresshing floore, and bowed himselfe to Dauid with his face to the grounde.
22 ダビデ、オルナンに言けるは此打場の處を我に與へよ我そこにてヱホバに一箇の壇を築かん汝その十分の値をとりて之を我にあたへ災害の民におよぶことを止めしめよ
And Dauid saide to Ornan, Giue me the place of thy thresshing floore, that I may builde an altar therein vnto the Lord: giue it me for sufficient money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 オルナン、ダビデに言けるは請ふ之を取り王わが主の目に善と觀るところを爲たまへ我なんぢに献げて牛を燔祭の料とし打禾車を柴薪とし麥を素祭とせん我みなこれを奉呈ると
Then Ornan saide vnto Dauid, Take it to thee, and let my lord the King do that which seemeth him good: loe, I giue thee bullockes for burnt offrings, and thresshing instruments for wood, and wheat for meate offring, I giue it all.
24 ダビデ王オルナンに言けるは然るべからず我かならず十分の値をはらひて之を買ん我は汝の物を取てヱホバに奉まつらじ又費なしに燔祭を献ぐることをせじと
And King Dauid saide to Ornan, Not so: but I will bye it for sufficient money: for I wil not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offrings without cost.
25 ダビデすなはち其處のために金六百シケルを衡りてオルナンに與へたり
So Dauid gaue to Ornan for that place sixe hundreth shekels of golde by weight.
26 而してダビデ其處にてヱホバに一箇の祭壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭を献げてヱホバを龥けるに天より燔祭の壇の上に火を降して之に應へたまへり
And Dauid built there an altar vnto the Lord, and offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings, and called vpon the Lord, and he answered him by fire from heauen vpon the altar of burnt offring.
27 ヱホバすなはちその使者に命じたまひければ彼その劍を鞘に蔵めたり
And when the Lord had spoken to the Angel, he put vp his sworde againe into his sheath.
28 その時ダビデはヱホバがヱブス人オルナンの打場において己に應へたまふを見たれば其處にて犠牲を献ぐることを爲り
At that time when Dauid sawe that the Lord had heard him in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 モーセが荒野にて造りたるヱホバの幕屋と燔祭の壇とは當時ギベオンの崇邱にありけるが
(But the Tabernacle of the Lord which Moses had made in the wildernesse, and the altar of burnt offring were at that season in the hie place at Gibeon.
30 ダビデはその前に進みゆきて神に求むることを得せざりき是は彼ヱホバの使者の劍のために懼れたるに因てなり
And Dauid could not go before it to aske counsel at God: for he was afraide of the sworde of the Angel of the Lord.)
