列王記Ⅰ 1
1 爰にダビデ王年邁みて老い寝衣を衣するも温らざりければ
Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes, he was not warm.
2 其臣僕等彼にいひけるは王わが主のために一人の若き處女を求めしめて之をして王のまへにたちて王の左右となり汝の懐に臥て王わが主を暖めしめんと
His servants therefore said to him: Let us seek for our lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom, and warm our lord the king.
3 彼等乃ちイスラエルの四方の境に美き童女を求めてシユナミ人アビシヤグを得て之を王に携きたれり
So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the coasts of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king.
4 此童女甚だ美くして王の左右となり王に事たり然ど王之と交はらざりき
And the damsel was exceeding beautiful, and she slept with the king: and served him, but the king did not know her.
5 時にハギテの子アドニヤ自ら高くし我は王とならんと言て己のために戰車と騎兵および自己のまへに驅る者五十人を備へたり
And Adonias the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
6 其父は彼が生れてより已來汝何故に然するやと言てかれを痛しめし事なかりきアドニヤも亦容貌の甚だ美き者にてアブサロムの次に生れたり
Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.
7 彼ゼルヤの子ヨアブおよび祭司アビヤタルと商議ひしかば彼等之に從ひゆきて助けたり
And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias’s side.
8 されど祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと預言者ナタンおよびシメイとレイならびにダビデに屬したる勇士はアドニヤに與せざりき
But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David’s army was not with Adonias.
9 アドニヤ、エンロゲルの近邊なるゾヘレテの石の傍にて羊と牛と肥畜を宰りて王の子なる己の兄弟および王の臣僕なるユダの人を盡く請けり
And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Juda, the king’s servants:
10 されども預言者ナタンとベナヤと勇士とおのれの兄弟ソロモンとをば招かざりき
But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
11 爰にナタン、ソロモンの母バテシバに語りていひけるは汝ハギテの子アドニヤが王となれるを聞ざるかしかるにわれらの主ダビデはこれを知ざるなり
And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?
12 されば請ふ來れ我汝に計を授て汝をして己の生命と汝の子ソロモンの生命を救しめん
Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
13 汝往てダビデ王の所に入り之にいへ王わが主よ汝は婢に誓ひて汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんといひたまひしにあらずや然にアドニヤ何故に王となれるやと
Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?
14 われまた汝が尚其處にて王と語ふ時に汝に次て入り汝の言を證すべしと
And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.
15 是においてバテシバ寝室に入りて王の所にいたるに王は甚だ老てシユナミ人アビシヤグ王に事へ居たり
So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.
16 バテシバ躬を鞠め王を拝す王いふ何なるや
Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?
17 かれ王にいひけるはわが主汝は汝の神ヱホバを指て婢に汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんと誓ひたまへり
She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.
18 しかるに視よ今アドニヤ王となれり而て王わが主汝は知たまはず
And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.
19 彼は牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子および祭司アビヤタルと軍の長ヨアブを招けりされど汝の僕ソロモンをば招かざりき
He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the general of the army: but Solomon thy servant he invited not.
20 汝王わが主よイスラエルの目皆汝に注ぎ汝が彼等に誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを告るを望む
And now, my lord O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.
21 王わが主の其父祖と共に寝たまはん時に我とわが子ソロモンは罪人と見做さるるにいたらんと
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
22 バテシバ尚王と語ふうちに視よ預言者ナタンも亦入きたりければ
As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.
23 人々王に告て預言者ナタン此にありと曰ふ彼王のまへに入り地に伏て王を拝せり
And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophet is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,
24 しかしてナタンいひけるは王わが主汝はアドニヤ我に継で王となりわが位に坐すべしといひたまひしや
Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?
25 彼は今日下りて牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子と軍の長等と祭司アビヤタルを招けりしかして彼等はアドニヤのまへに飮食してアドニヤ王壽かれと言ふ
Because he is gone down today, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:
26 されど汝の僕なる我と祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと汝の僕ソロモンとは彼請かざるなり
But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.
27 此事は王わが主の爲たまふ所なるかしかるに汝誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを僕に知せたまはざるなりと
Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
28 ダビデ王答ていふバテシバをわが許に召せと彼乃ち王のまへに入て王のまへにたつに
And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,
29 王誓ひていひけるはわが生命を諸の艱難の中に救ひたまひしヱホバは活く
The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
30 我イスラエルの神ヱホバを指て誓ひて汝の子ソロモン我に継で王となり我に代りてわが位に坐すべしといひしごとくに我今日爲すべしと
Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
31 是においてバテシバ躬を鞠め地に伏て王を拝し願くはわが主ダビデ王長久に生ながらへたまへといふ
And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.
32 ダビデ王いひけるはわが許に祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤを召と彼等乃ち王のまへに來る
King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,
33 王彼等にいひけるは汝等の主の臣僕を伴ひわが子ソロモンをわが身の騾に乗せ彼をギホンに導き下り
He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.
34 彼處にて祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンは彼に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの上に王と爲すべししかして汝ら喇叭を吹てソロモン王壽かれと言へ
And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.
35 かくして汝ら彼に隨ひて上り來るべし彼は來りてわが位に坐し我に代りて王となるべし我彼を立てイスラエルとユダの上に主君となせりと
And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.
36 ヱホヤダの子ベナヤ王に對へていひけるはアメンねがはくは王わが主の神ヱホバ然言たまはんことを
And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.
37 ねがはくはヱホバ王わが主とともに在せしごとくソロモンとともに在してその位をわが主ダビデ王の位よりも大ならしめたまはんことを
As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.
38 斯て祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人下りソロモンをダビデ王の騾に乗せて之をギホンに導きいたれり
So Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet went down, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.
39 しかして祭司ザドク幕屋の中より膏の角を取てソロモンに膏そそげりかくて喇叭を吹きならし
And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.
40 民みなソロモン王壽かれと言り民みなかれに隨ひ上りて笛を吹き大に喜祝ひ地はかれらの聲にて裂たり
And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.
41 アドニヤおよび彼とともに居たる賓客其食を終たる時に皆これを聞りヨアブ喇叭の聲を聞ていひけるは城邑の中の聲音何ぞ喧囂やと
And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end: Joab also hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?
42 彼が言をる間に視よ祭司アビヤタルの子ヨナタン來るアドニヤ彼にいひけるは入よ汝は勇ある人なり嘉音を持きたれるならん
While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.
43 ヨナタン答へてアドニヤにいひけるは誠にわが主ダビデ王ソロモンを王となしたまへり
And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king.
44 王祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人をソロモンとともに遣したまふ即ち彼等はソロモンを王の騾に乗せてゆき
And hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king’s mule.
45 祭司ザドクと預言者ナタン、ギホンにて彼に膏をそそぎて王となせり而して彼等其處より歓て上るが故に城邑は諠囂し汝らが聞る聲音は是なり
And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.
46 又ソロモン國の位に坐し
Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom,
47 且王の臣僕來りてわれらの主ダビデ王に祝を陳て願くは汝の神ソロモンの名を汝の名よりも美し其位を汝の位よりも大たらしめたまへと言りしかして王は牀の上にて拝せり
And the king’s servants going in have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:
48 王また斯いへりイスラエルの神ヱホバはほむべきかなヱホバ今日わが位に坐する者を與たまひてわが目亦これを見るなりと
And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.
49 アドニヤとともにある賓客皆驚愕き起て各其途に去りゆけり
Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way.
50 茲にアドニヤ、ソロモンの面を恐れ起て往き壇の角を執へたり
And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose, and went, and took hold on the horn of the altar.
51 或人ソロモンに告ていふアドニヤ、ソロモン王を畏る彼壇の角を執て願くはソロモン王今日我に劍をもて僕を殺じと誓ひ給へと言たりと
And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias, fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
52 ソロモンいひけるは彼もし善人となるならば其髮の毛一すぢも地におちざるべし然ど彼の中に惡の見るあらば死しむべしと
And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
53 ソロモン王乃ち人を遣て彼を壇より携下らしむ彼來りてソロモン王を拝しければソロモン彼に汝の家に往といへり
Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.
