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 when King Dauid was olde, and striken in yeeres, they couered him with clothes, but no heate came vnto him.

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

Wherefore his seruants saide vnto him, Let there be sought for my lord ye King a yong virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosome, that my lord the King may get heate.

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 for a faire young maide thoroughout all the coastes of Israel, and founde one Abishag a Shunamite, 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 maid was exceeding faire, and cherished the king, and ministred to him, but the King knew her not.

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

Then Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith exalted himselfe, saying, I will be king. And he gate him charets and horsemen, and fiftie 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

And his father would not displease him from his childehood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And hee was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next 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 tooke counsel of Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they helped forward Adoniiah.

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 Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the men of might, which were with Dauid, were not with Adoniiah.

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

Then Adoniiah sacrificed sheepe and oxen, and fat cattel by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the kings sonnes, and al the men of Iudah ye Kings seruants,

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 Benaiah, and the mightie men, and Salomon his brother hee called 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

Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord 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 therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon.

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 vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King?

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

Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes.

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 Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King.

16 バテシバ躬を鞠め王を拝す王いふ何なるや

And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter?

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

And shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon 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 beholde, nowe is Adoniiah king, and now, my lord, O King, thou knowest it not.

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

And he hath offred many oxen, and fatte cattel, and sheepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste: but Salomon thy seruant hath he not bidden.

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 thou, my lorde, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who shoulde sit on the throne of my lord the King after him.

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

For els when my lord the King shall sleepe with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shalbe reputed vile.

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

And lo, while she yet talked with the King, Nathan also the Prophet came in.

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 tolde the King, saying, Beholde, Nathan the Prophet. And when he was come in to the King, hee made obeisance before the King vpon his face 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

And Nathan saide, My lorde, O King, hast thou said, Adoniiah shall reigne after mee, and he shall sit vpon 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

For hee is gone downe this day, and hath slaine many oxen, and fat cattel, and sheepe, and hath called al the Kings sonnes, and the captaines of the hoste, and Abiathar the Priest: and behold, they eate and drinke before him, and say, God saue King Adoniiah.

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 seruant, and Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and thy seruant Salomon hath he not called.

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 thing done by my lord the King, and thou hast not shewed it vnto thy seruant, who should sitte on the throne of my lorde 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

Then King Dauid answered, and saide, Call me Bath-sheba. And shee came into ye Kings presence, and stoode before the King.

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

And the King sware, saying, As the Lord liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie,

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

That as I sware vnto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and hee shall sit vpon my throne in my place, so will I certainely doe 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

Then Bath-sheba bowed her face to the earth, and did reuerence vnto the King, and said, God saue my lord King Dauid for euer.

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

And King Dauid saide, Call mee Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada. And they came 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

Then the King said vnto them, Take with you the seruants of your lorde, and cause Salomon my sonne to ride vpon mine owne mule, and carie him downe 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 Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him there King ouer Israel, and blowe ye the trumpet, and say, God saue king Salomon.

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

Then come vp after him, that hee may come and sit vpon my throne: and hee shall bee King in my steade: for I haue appointed him to be prince ouer Israel and ouer Iudah.

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

Then Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada answered the King, and said, So be it, and the Lord God of my lord the King ratifie it.

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 bene with my lorde the King, so be he with Salomon, and exalt his throne aboue the throne of my lorde king Dauid.

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 Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went downe and caused Salomon to ride vpon king Dauids mule, 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 Zadok the Priest tooke an horne of oyle out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Salomon: and they blewe the trumpet, and all the people said, God saue king Salomon.

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 people came vp after him, and the people piped with pipes, and reioyced with great ioye, so that the earth rang with the sound of them.

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 Adoniiah and all the ghestes that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an ende of eating) and when Ioab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and vprore in the citie?

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

And as he yet spake, beholde, Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adoniiah said, Come in: for thou art a worthie man, and bringest good tidings.

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 Ionathan answered, and said to Adoniiah, Verely our lord King Dauid hath made Salomon 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 the King hath sent with him Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they haue caused him to ride vpon the Kings 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 Zadok the Priest, and Nathan ye Prophet haue anointed him King in Gihon: and they are gone vp from thence with ioy, and the citie is moued: this is the noise that ye haue heard.

46 又ソロモン國の位に坐し

And Salomon also sitteth on the throne of the kingdome.

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 moreouer the Kings seruantes came to blesse our lord King Dauid, saying, God make the name of Salomon more famous then thy name, and exalt his throne aboue thy throne: therefore the King worshipped vpon the 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 thus sayd the King also, Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, who hath made one to sit on my throne this day, euen in my sight.

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 ghestes that were with Adonijah, were afraide, and rose vp, and went euery man 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 Adonijah fearing the presence of Salomon, arose and went, and tooke holde on the hornes 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 one tolde Salomon, saying, Beholde, Adonijah doeth feare King Salomon: for lo, he hath caught holde on the hornes of the altar, saying, Let King Salomon sweare vnto me this day, that he will not slay his seruant 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

Then Salomon sayd, If he will shewe him selfe a worthy man, there shall not an heare of him fall to the earth, but if wickednes be found in him, he shall dye.

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 Salomon sent, and they brought him from the altar, and he came and did obeisance vnto King Salomon. And Salomon sayde vnto him, Go to thine house.
