< サムエル記Ⅱ 19 >

1 時にヨアブに告る者ありていふ視よ王はアブサロムの爲に哭き悲しむと
And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
2 其日の勝利は凡の民の悲哀となれり其は民其日王は其子のために憂ふと言ふを聞たればなり
Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne.
3 其日民は戰爭に逃て羞たる民の竊て去がごとく竊て城邑にいりぬ
And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.
4 王は其面を掩へり王大聲に叫てわが子アブサロムよアブサロムわが子よわが子よといふ
So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.
5 ここにヨアブ家にいり王の許にいたりていひけるは汝今日汝の生命と汝の男子汝の女子の生命および汝の妻等の生命と汝の妾等の生命を救ひたる汝の凡の臣僕の顔を羞させたり
Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines,
6 是は汝おのれを惡む者を愛しおのれを愛する者を惡むなり汝今日汝が諸侯伯をも諸僕をも顧みざるを示せり今日我さとる若しアブサロム生をりて我儕皆死たらば汝の目に適ひしならん
In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well.
7 されど今立て出で汝の諸僕を慰めてかたるべし我ヱホバを指て誓ふ汝若し出ずば今夜一人も汝とともに止るものなかるべし是は汝が若き時より今にいたるまでに蒙りたる諸の災禍よりも汝に惡かるべし
Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto.
8 是に於て王たちて門に坐す人々凡の民に告て視よ王は門に坐し居るといひければ民皆王のまへにいたる然どイスラエルはおのむの其天幕に逃かへれり
Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent.
9 イスラエルの諸の支派の中に民皆爭ひていひけるは王は我儕を敵の手より救ひいだしまた我儕をペリシテ人の手より助けいだせりされど今はアブサロムのために國を逃いでたり
Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom.
10 また我儕が膏そそぎて我儕の上にかきしアブサロムは戰爭に死ねりされば爾ら何ぞ王を導きかへらんことと言ざるや
And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?
11 ダビデ王祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに言つかはしけるはユダの長老等に告て言ヘイスラエルの全家の言語王の家に達せしに爾ら何ぞ王を其家に導きかへる最後となるや
But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house)
12 爾等はわが兄弟爾らはわが骨肉なりしかるになんぞ爾等王を導き歸る最後となるやと
Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?
13 又アマサに言べし爾はわが骨肉にあらずや爾ヨアブにかはりて常にわがまへにて軍長たるべし若しからずば神我に斯なし又重ねてかくなしたまへと
Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab.
14 かくダビデ、ユダの凡の人をして其心を傾けて一人のごとくにならしめければかれら王にねがはくは爾および爾の諸の臣僕歸りたまへといひおくれり
So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants.
15 是において王歸りてヨルダンにいたるにユダの人々王を迎へんとて來りてギルガルにいたり王を送りてヨルダンを濟らんとす
So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde.
16 時にバホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ急ぎてユダの人々とともに下りダビデ王を迓ふ
And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid,
17 一千のベニヤミン人彼とともにあり亦サウルの家の僕ヂバも其十五人の男子と二十人の僕をしたがへて偕に居たりしが皆王のまへにむかひてヨルダンをこぎ渡れり
And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king.
18 時に王の家族を濟しまた王の目に善と見ゆるところを爲んとて濟舟を濟せり爰にゲラの子シメイ、ヨルダンを濟れる時王のまへに伏して
And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden,
19 王にいひけるはわが主よねがはくは罪を我に歸するなかれまた王わが主のエルサレムより出たまへる日に僕が爲たる惡き事を記憶えたまふなかれねがはくは王これを心に置たまふなかれ
And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart.
20 其は僕我罪を犯したるを知ればなり故に視よ我今日ヨセフの全家の最初に下り來りて王わが主を迓ふと
For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King.
21 然にゼルヤの子アビシヤイ答へていひけるはシメイはヱホバの膏そそぎし者を詛たるに因て其がために誅さるべきにあらずやと
But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?
22 ダビデいひけるは爾らゼルヤの子よ爾らのあづかるところにあらず爾等今日我に敵となる今日豈イスラエルの中にて人を誅すべけんや我豈わが今日イスラエルの王となりたるをしらざらんやと
And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel?
23 是をもて王はシメイに爾は誅されじといひて王かれに誓へり
Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.
24 爰にサウルの子メピボセテ下りて王をむかふ彼は王の去し日より安かに歸れる日まで其足を飾らず其鬚を飾らず又其衣を濯ざりき
And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace.
And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
26 彼エルサレムよりきたりて王を迓ふる時王かれにいひけるはメビボセテ爾なんぞ我とともに往ざりしや 彼こたへけるはわが主王よわが僕我を欺けり僕はわれ驢馬に鞍おきて其に乗て王の處にゆかんといへり僕跛者なればなり
And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame.
27 しかるに彼僕を王わが主に讒言せり然ども王わが主は神の使のごとし故に爾の目に善と見るところを爲たまへ
And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure.
28 わが父の全家は王わが主のまへには死人なるのみなるに爾僕を爾の席にて食ふ者の中に置たまへりされば我何の理ありてか重ねて王に哀訴ることをえん
For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king?
29 王かれにいひけるは爾なんぞ重ねて爾の事を言や我いふ爾とヂバ其地を分つべし
And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.
30 メピボセテ王にいひけるは王わが主安然に其家に歸りたまひたればかれに之を悉くとらしめたまへと
And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.
31 爰にギレアデ人バルジライ、ロゲリムより下り王を送りてヨルダンを渡らんとて王とともにヨルダンを濟れり
Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.
32 バルジライは甚だ老たる人にて八十歳なりきかれは甚だ大なる人なれば王のマハナイムに留れる間王を養へり
Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance.
33 王バルジライにいひけるは爾我とともに濟り來れ我エルサレムにて爾を我とともに養はん
And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.
34 バルジライ王にいひけるはわが生命の年の日尚幾何ありてか我王とともにエルサレムに上らんや
And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?
35 我は今日八十歳なり善きと惡きとを辨へるをえんや僕其食ふところと飮ところを味ふをえんや我再び謳歌之男と謳歌之女の聲を聽えんや僕なんぞ尚王わが主の累となるべけんや
I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king?
36 僕は王とともにヨルダンを濟りて只少しくゆかん王なんぞこの報賞を我に報ゆるに及ばんや
Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?
37 請ふ僕を歸らしめよ我自己の邑にてわが父母の墓の側に死ん但し僕キムハムを視たまへかれを王わが主とともに濟り往しめたまへ又爾の目に善と見る所を彼になしたまへ
I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee.
38 王いひけるはキムハム我とともに濟り往くべし我爾の目に善と見ゆる所をかれに爲ん又爾が望みて我に求むる所は皆我爾のために爲すべしと
And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
39 民皆ヨルダンを濟れり王渡りし時王バルジライに接吻してこれを祝す彼遂に己の所に歸れり
So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.
40 かくて王ギルガルに進むにキムハムかれとともに進めりユダの民皆王を送れりイスラエルの民の半も亦しかり
Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel.
41 是にイスラエルの人々皆王の所にいたりて王にいひけるは我儕の兄弟なるユダの人々何故に爾を竊みさり王と其家族およびダビデとともなる其凡の從者を送りてヨルダンを濟りしやと
And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden?
42 ユダの人々皆イスラエルの人々に對へていふ王は我に近きが故なり爾なんぞ此事について怒るや我儕王の物を食ひしことあるや王我儕に賜物を與へたることあるや
And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes?
43 イスラエルの人ユダの人に對ていひけるは我は王のうちに十の分を有ち亦ダビデのうちにも我は爾よりも多を有つなりしかるに爾なんぞ我らを軽じたるやわが王を導きかへらんと言しは我最初なるにあらずやとされどユダの人々の言はイスラエルの人々の言よりも厲しかりき
And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.
