サムエル記Ⅱ 20

1 爰に一人の邪なる人あり其名をシバといビクリの子にしてベニヤミン人なり彼喇叭を吹ていひけるは我儕はダビデの中に分なし又ヱサイの子のうちに產業なしイスラエルよ各人其天幕に歸れよと

Then there was come thither a wicked man (named Sheba the sonne of Bichri, a man of Iemini) and hee blew the trumpet, and saide, Wee haue no part in Dauid, neither haue we inheritance in the sonne of Ishai: euery man to his tents, O Israel.

2 是によりてイスラエルの人皆ダビデに随ふことを止てのぼりビクリの子シバにしたがへり然どユダの人々は其王に附てヨルダンよりエルサレムにいたれり

So euery man of Israel went from Dauid and followed Sheba the sonne of Bichri: but the men of Iudah claue fast vnto their King, from Iorden euen to Ierusalem.

3 ダビデ、エルサレムにある己の家にいたり王其遺して家を守らせたる妾なる十人の婦をとりてこれを一の室に守り置て養へりされどかれらの處には入ざりき斯かれらは死る日まで閉こめられて生涯嫠婦にてすごせり

When Dauid then came to his house to Ierusalem, the King tooke the ten women his concubines, that hee had left behinde him to keepe the house, and put them in warde, and fed them, but lay no more with them: but they were enclosed vnto the day of their death, liuing in widowhode.

4 爰に王アマサにいひけるは我ために三日のうちにユダの人々を召きたれしかして爾此處にをれ

Then sayde the King to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Iudah within three dayes, and be thou here present.

5 アマサ乃ちユダを召あつめんとて往たりしが彼ダビデが定めたる期よりも長く留れり

So Amasa went to assemble Iudah, but hee taried longer then the time which he had appoynted him.

6 是においてダビデ、アビシヤイにいひけるはビクリの子シバ今我儕にアブサロムよりもおほくの害をなさんとす爾の主の臣僕を率ゐて彼の後を追へ恐らくは彼堅固なる城邑を獲て我儕の目を逃れんと

Then Dauid sayd to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the sonne of Bichri doe vs more harme then did Absalom: take thou therefore thy lords seruants and follow after him, lest he get him walled cities, and escape vs.

7 是によりてヨアブの從者とケレテ人とペレテ人および都の勇士彼にしたがびて出たり即ち彼等エルサレムより出てビクリの子シバの後を追ふ

And there went out after him Ioabs men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mightie men: and they departed out of Ierusalem, to follow after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

8 彼等がギベオンにある大石の傍に居りし時アマサかれらにむかひ來れり時にヨアブ戎衣に帶を結て衣服となし其上に刀を鞘にをさめ腰に結びて帶び居たりしが其劍脱け堕ちたり

When they were at the great stone, which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them, and Ioabs garment, that hee had put on, was girded vnto him, and vpon it was a sword girded, which hanged on his loynes in the sheath, and as hee went, it vsed to fall out.

9 ヨアブ、アマサにわが兄弟よ爾は平康なるやといひて右の手をもてアマサの鬚を將て彼に接吻せんとせしが

And Ioab sayde to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? and Ioab tooke Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kisse him.

10 アマサはヨアブの手にある劍に意を留ざりければヨアブ其をもてアマサの腹を刺して其膓を地に流しいだし重ねて撃に及ばざらしめてこれをころせり かくてヨアブと其兄弟アビシヤイ、ビクリの子シバの後を追り

But Amasa tooke no heede to the sworde that was in Ioabs hande: for therewith he smote him in the fift rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and smote him not the second time: so he dyed. then Ioab and Abishai his brother followed after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

11 時にヨアブの少者の一人アマサの側にたちていふヨアブを助くる者とダビデに附從ものはヨアブの後に隨へと

And one of Ioabs men stoode by him, and saide, He that fauoureth Ioab, and hee that is of Dauids part, let him go after Ioab.

12 アマサは血に染て大路の中に轉び居たり斯人民の皆立どまるを見てアマサを大路より田に移したるが其側にいたれる者皆見て立ちとまりければ衣を其上にかけたり

And Amasa wallowed in blood in the mids of the way: and when the man sawe that all the people stood still, he remooued Amasa out of the way into the fielde, and cast a cloth vpon him, because he saw that euery one that came by him, stoode still.

13 アマサ大路より移されければ人皆ヨアブにしたがひ進みてビクリの子シバの後を追ふ

When hee was remoued out of the way, euerie man went after Ioab, to follow after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

14 彼イスラエルの凡の支派の中を行てアベルとベテマアカに至るに少年皆集りて亦かれにしたがひゆけり

And he went through all the tribes of Israel vnto Abel, and Bethmaachah and all places of Berim: and they gathered together, and went also after him.

15 かくて彼等來りて彼をアベル、ベテマアカに圍み城邑にむかひて壘を築けり是は壕の中にたてりかくしてヨアブとともにある民皆石垣を崩さんとてこれを撃居りしが

So they came, and besieged him in Abel, neere to Bethmaachah: and they cast vp a mount against the citie, and the people thereof stood on the ramper, and al the people that was with Ioab, destroyed and cast downe the wall.

16 一箇の哲き婦城邑より呼はりていふ爾ら聽よ爾ら聽よ請ふ爾らヨアブに此に近よれ我爾に言んと言へと

Then cried a wise woman out of the citie, Heare, heare, I pray you, say vnto Ioab, Come thou hither, that I may speake with thee.

17 かれ其婦にちかよるに婦いひけるは爾はヨアブなるやかれ然りといひければ婦彼にいふ婢の言を聽けかれ我聽くといふ

And when hee came neere vnto her, the woman said, Art thou Ioab? And he answered, Yea. And she said to him, Heare the wordes of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do heare.

18 婦即ち語りていひけるは昔人々誠に語りて人必ずアベルにおいて索問べしといひて事を終ふ

Then shee spake thus, They spake in the olde time, saying, They shoulde aske of Abel. and so haue they continued.

19 我はイスラエルの中の平和なる忠義なる者なりしかるに爾はイスラルの中にて母ともいふべき城邑を滅さんことを求む何ゆゑに爾ヱホバの產業を呑み盡さんとするや

I am one of them, that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: and thou goest about to destroy a citie, and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou deuoure the inheritance of the Lord?

20 ヨアブ答へていひけるは決めてしからず決めてしからずわれ呑み盡し或は滅ぼさんとすることなし

And Ioab answered, and said, God forbid, God forbid it me, that I should deuoure, or destroy it.

21 其事しからずエフライムの山地の人ビクリの子名はシバといふ者手を擧て王ダビデに敵せり爾ら只彼一人を付せ然らば我此邑をさらんと婦ヨアブにいひけるは視よ彼の首級は石垣の上より爾に投いだすべし

The matter is not so, but a man of mout Ephraim (Sheba ye sonne of Bichri by name) hath lift vp his had against ye King, euen against Dauid: deliuer vs him onely, and I will depart from the citie. And the woman saide vnto Ioab, Beholde, his head shalbe throwen to thee ouer the wall.

22 かくて婦其智慧をもて凡の民の所にいたりければかれらビクリの子シバの首級を刎てヨアブの所に投出せり是においてヨアブ喇叭を吹ならしければ人々散て邑より退きておのおの其天幕に還りぬヨアブはエルサレムにかへりて王の處にいたれり

Then the woman went vnto all the people with her wisedome, and they cut off the head of Sheba the sonne of Bichri, and cast it to Ioab: the he blewe the trumpet, and they retired from the citie, euery man to his tent: and Ioab returned to Ierusalem vnto the King.

23 ヨアブはイスラエルの全軍の長なりヱホヤダの子ベナヤはケレテ人とペレテ人の長なり

Then Ioab was ouer all the hoste of Israel, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada ouer the Cherethites and ouer the Pelethies,

24 アドラムは徴募長なりアヒルデの子ヨシヤパテは史官なり

And Adoram ouer the tribute, and Ioshaphat the sonne of Ahilud the recorder,

25 シワは書記官なりザドクとアビヤタルは祭司なり

And Sheia was Scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar the Priests,

26 亦ヤイル人イラはダビデの大臣なり

And also Ira the Iairite was chiefe about Dauid.
