列王記Ⅰ 2
1 ダビデ死ぬる日近よりければ其子ソロモンに命じていふ
And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying: —
2 我は世人の皆往く途に往んとす汝は強く丈夫のごとく爲れ
I, am going the way of all the earth, —thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man;
3 汝の神ヱホバの職守を守り其道に歩行み其法憲と其誡命と其律例と其證言とをモーセの律法に録されたるごとく守るべし然らば汝凡て汝の爲ところと凡て汝の向ふところにて榮ゆべし
and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses, —to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
4 又ヱホバは其甞に我の事に付て語りて若汝の子等其道を愼み心を盡し精神を盡して眞實をもて吾前に歩ばイスラエルの位に上る人汝に缺ることなかるべしと言たまひし言を堅したまはん
to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
5 又汝はゼルヤの子ヨアブが我に爲たる事即ち彼がイスラエルの二人の軍の長ネルの子アブネルとヱテルの子アマサに爲たる事を知る彼此二人を切殺し太平の時に戰の血を流し戰の血を己の腰の周圍の帶と其足の履に染たり
Moreover also, thou, knowest what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with two generals of the armies of Israel—with Abner son of Ner, and with Amasa son of Jether—both of whom he slew, shedding the blood of war in peace, —and putting the blood of war upon his girdle that was on his loins, and upon his sandals, that were on his feet.
Thou, therefore, must do according to thy wisdom, —but will not let his grey hair go down in peace, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
7 但しギレアデ人バルジライの子等には恩惠を施こし彼等をして汝の席にて食ふ者の中にあらしめよ彼等はわが汝の兄弟アブサロムの面を避て逃し時我に就たるなり
But, with the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, thou wilt deal in lovingkindness, and they will be among them who eat at thy table, —for, so, drew they near unto me, when I fled from Absolom thy brother.
8 視よ又バホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ汝とともに在り彼はわがマナハイムに往し時勵しき詛言をもて我を詛へり然ども彼ヨルダンに下りて我を迎へたれば我ヱホバを指て誓ひて我劍をもて汝を殺さじといへり
Lo! also, there is with thee—Shimei son of Gera a Benjamite, of Behurim, well, he, it was who cursed me with a grievous curse; on the day I journeyed to Mahanaim, —but he, came down to meet me, at the Jordan, and so I sware to him by Yahweh, saying—I will not put thee to death, with the sword.
Now, therefore do not hold him guiltless, for, a wise man, thou art, and wilt know how thou oughtest to deal with him, and wilt suffer his grey hairs to go down with blood, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
10 斯てダビデは其父祖と偕に寝りてダビデの城に葬らる
So then David slept with his fathers, —and was buried in the city of David.
11 ダビデのイスラエルに王たりし日は四十年なりき即ちヘブロンにて王たりし事七年エルサレムにて王たりし事三十三年
Now, the days that David reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron, reigned he seven years, and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years.
12 ソロモン其父ダビデの位に坐し其國は堅固く定まりぬ
But, when, Solomon, took his seat upon the throne of David his father, then was the kingdom firmly established.
13 爰にハギテの子アドニヤ、ソロモンの母バテシバの所に來りければバテシバいひけるは汝は平穩なる事のために來るや彼いふ平穩たる事のためなり
And Adonijah son of Haggith came in unto Bath-sheba, mother of Solomon: And she said—Peaceably, comest thou? And he said—Peaceably.
14 彼又いふ我は汝に言さんとする事ありとバテシバいふ言されよ
Then said he—I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said—Say on.
15 かれいひけるは汝の知ごとく國は我の有にしてイスラエル皆其面を我に向て王となさんと爲りしかるに國は轉てわが兄弟の有となれり其彼の有となれるはヱホバより出たるなり
And he said—Thou, knowest that, mine, was the kingdom, and, on me, had all Israel set their faces, that I should become king, —howbeit the kingdom, hath turned about, and become my brother’s, for, from Yahweh, became it, his.
16 今我一の願を汝に求む請ふわが面を黜くるなかれバテシバかれにいひけるは言されよ
Now, therefore, one request, have I to ask of thee, do not turn away my face.
17 彼いひけるは請ふソロモン王に言て彼をしてシエナミ人アビシヤグを我に與て妻となさしめよ彼は汝の面を黜けざるべければなり
And she said unto him—Say on. And he said—Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, —that he give me Abishag the Shunammite, to wife.
18 バテシバいふ善し我汝のために王に言んと
And Bath-sheba said: Good! I myself, will speak for thee, unto the king.
19 かくてバテシバ、アドニヤのために言とてソロモン王の許に至りければ王起てかれを迎へ彼を拝して其位に坐なほり王母のために座を設けしむ乃ち其右に坐せり
So Bath-sheba went in unto King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah, —and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself down to her, and sat down upon his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
20 しかしてバテシバいひけるは我一の細小き願を汝に求むわが面を黜くるなかれ王かれにいひけるは母上よ求めたまへ我汝の面を黜けざるなり
Then said she—One small request, am I asking of thee, do not turn away my face. And the king said to her—Ask on, my mother, for I will not turn away thy face.
21 彼いひけるは請ふシユナミ人アビシヤグをアドニヤに與て妻となさしめよ
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.
22 ソロモン王答て其母にいひけるは何ぞアドニヤのためにシユナミ人アビシヤグを求めらるるや彼のために國をも求められよ彼は我の兄なればなり彼と祭司アビヤタルとゼルヤの子ヨアブのために求められよと
Then answered King Solomon, and said to his mother—Wherefore, then, art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite, for Adonijah? ask, then, for him the kingdom, because he is mine elder brother, —even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, son of Zeruiah.
23 ソロモン王乃ちヱホバを指て誓ひていふ神我に斯なし又重ねて斯なしたまへアドニヤは其身の生命を喪はんとて此言を言いだせり
Then swore King Solomon by Yahweh, saying, —So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, at the cost of his life, Adonijah hath not spoken this word.
24 我を立てわが父ダビデの位に上しめ其約せしごとく我に家を建たまひしヱホバは生くアドニヤは今日戮さるべしと
Now, therefore, by the life of Yahweh, who hath established me, and seated me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me a household, as he had spoken, surely, to-day, shall Adonijah be put to death!
25 ソロモン王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしければ彼アドニヤを撃て死しめたり
So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, —and he fell upon him, that he died.
26 王また祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは汝の故田アナトテにいたれ汝は死に當る者なれども嚮にわが父ダビデのまへに神ヱホバの櫃を舁き又凡てわが父の艱難を受たる處にて汝も艱難を受たれば我今日は汝を戮さじと
Also, unto Abiathar the priest, said the king—To Anathoth, get thee unto thine own fields, for, death-doomed, thou art, —but, this day, will I not put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of My Lord, Yahweh, before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
27 ソロモン、アビヤタルを逐いだしてヱホバの祭司たらしめざりき斯ヱホバがシロにてエリの家につきて言たまひし言應たり
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Yahweh, —to fulfil the word of Yahweh which he spake concerning the household of Eli, in Shiloh.
28 爰に其風聞ヨアブに達りければヨアブ、ヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の角を執たり其はヨアブは轉てアブサロムには隨はざりしかどもアドニヤに隨ひたればなり
And, the report, came unto Joab, for, Joab, had inclined after Adonijah, although, after Solomon, he had not inclined, —so then Joab fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and laid hold of the horns of the altar.
29 ヨアブがヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の傍に居ることソロモンに聞えければソロモン、ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしいひけるは往て彼を撃てと
And it was told King Solomon—Joab hath fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and, there he is, beside the altar. So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying—Go fall upon him!
30 ベナヤ乃ちヱホバの幕屋にいたり彼にいひけるは王斯言ふ出來れ彼いひけるは否我は此に死んとベナヤ反て王に告てヨアブ斯言ひ斯我に答へたりと言ふ
And Benaiah came into the Tent of Yahweh, and said unto him—Thus, saith the king, Come forth! And he said—Nay! but, here, will I die! So Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus, spake Joab, and, thus, he answered me.
31 王ベナヤにいひけるは彼が言ふごとく爲し彼を撃て葬りヨアブが故なくして流したる血を我とわが父の家より除去べし
And the king said to him—Do as he hath spoken, fall, then, upon him, and bury him, —and so put away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;
32 又ヱホバはヨアブの血を其身の首に歸したまふべし其は彼は己よりも義く且善りし二の人を撃ち劍をもてこれを殺したればなり即ちイスラエルの軍の長ネルの子アブネルとユダの軍の長ヱテルの子アマサを殺せり然るに吾父ダビデは與り知ざりき
thus will Yahweh bring back his blood upon his own head, in that he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, —even Abner son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, general of the army of Judah;
33 されば彼等の血は長久にヨアブの首と其苗裔の首に皈すべし然どダビデと其苗裔と其家と其位にはヱホバよりの平安永久にあるべし
thus shall their blood come back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed unto times age-abiding, —but, David and his seed, and his house, and his throne, shall have peace, unto times age-abiding, from Yahweh.
34 ヱホヤダの子ベナヤすなはち上りて彼を撃ち彼を殺せり彼は野にある己の家に葬らる
So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and put him to death, —and he was buried in his own house, in the wilderness.
35 王乃ちヱホヤダの子ベナヤをヨアブに代て軍の長となせり王また祭司ザドクをしてアビヤタルに代しめたり
And the king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada, in his stead, over the army, —and, Zadok the priest, did the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
36 又王人を遣てシメイを召て之に曰けるはエルサレムに於て汝の爲に家を建て其處に住み其處より此にも彼にも出るなかれ
And the king sent, and called for Shimei, and said to him—Build thee a house, in Jerusalem, so shalt thou dwell there, —and shalt not go forth from thence, hither or thither;
37 汝が出てキデロン川を濟る日には汝確に知れ汝必ず戮さるべし汝の血は汝の首に歸せん
but it shall be that, on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the Kidron ravine, know, that thou shalt, die, —thy blood, shall be, upon thine own head.
38 シメイ王にいひけるは此言は善し王わが主の言たまへるごとく僕然なすべしと斯シメイ日久しくエルサレムに住り
And Shimei said to the king—Good, is the word, as my lord the king hath spoken, so, will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
39 三年の後シメイの二人の僕ガテの王マアカの子アキシの所に逃されり人々シメイに告ていふ視よ汝の僕はガテにありと
But it came to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei fled unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath, —and they told Shimei, saying—Lo! thy servants are in Gath.
40 シメイ乃ち起て其驢馬に鞍置きガテに往てアキシに至り其僕を尋ねたり即ちシメイ往て其僕をガテより携來りしが
So Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants—and Shimei went and brought in his servants, from Gath.
41 シメイのエルサレムよりガテにゆきて歸しことソロモンに聞えければ
And it was told Solomon—Shimei hath been out of Jerusalem to Gath, and returned.
42 王人を遣てシメイを召て之にいひけるは我汝をしてヱホバを指て誓しめ且汝を戒めて汝確に知れ汝が出て此彼に歩く日には汝必ず戮さるべしと言しにあらずや又汝は我に我聞る言葉は善しといへり
Then sent the king and called for Shimei, and said unto him—Did I not put thee on oath by Yahweh, and adjure thee, saying—On the day thou goest forth and takest thy journey hither or thither, know, that thou shalt, die. Then saidst thou unto me—Good, is the word I have heard.
43 しかるに汝なんぞヱホバの誓とわが汝に命じたる命令を守ざりしや
Why then, hast thou not kept the oath of Yahweh, —and the charge which I laid upon thee?
44 王又シメイにいひけるは汝は凡て汝の心の知る諸の惡即ち汝がわが父ダビデに爲たる所を知るヱホバ汝の惡を汝の首に歸したまふ
Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou, knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, which thou didst unto David my father, —therefore shall Yahweh bring back thy wickedness, upon thine own head.
45 されどソロモン王は福祉を蒙らんまたダビデの位は永久にヱホバのまへに固く立べしと
But, King Solomon, shall be blessed, —and, the throne of David, shall be established before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding.
46 王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤに命じければ彼出てシメイを撃ちて死しめたりしかして國はソロモンの手に固く立り
So the king charged Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, that he died, —and, the kingdom, was established in the hand of Solomon.
