サムエル記Ⅱ 21
1 ダビデの世に年復年と三年饑饉ありければダビデ、ヱホバに問にヱホバ言たまひけるは是はサウルと血を流せる其家のためなり其は彼嘗てギベオン人を殺したればなりと
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 是において王ギベオン人を召てかれらにいへりギベオン人はイスラエルの子孫にあらずアモリ人の殘餘なりしがイスラエルの子孫昔彼等に誓をなしたり然るにサウル、イスラエルとユダの子孫に熱心なるよりして彼等を殺さんと求めたり
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 即ちダビデ、ギベオン人にいひけるは我汝等のために何を爲すべきか我何の賠償を爲さば汝等ヱホバの產業を祝するや
And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
4 ギベオン人彼にいひけるは我儕はサウルと其家の金銀を取じ又汝は我らのためにイスラエルの中の人一人をも殺すなかれダビデいひけるは汝等が言ふ所は我汝らのために爲ん
And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.
5 彼等王にいひけるは我儕を滅したる人我儕を殲してイスラエルの境の中に居留ざらしめんとて我儕にむかひて謀を設けし人
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,
6 請ふ其人の子孫七人を我儕に與へよ我儕ヱホバの選みたるサウルのギベアにて彼等をヱホバのまへに懸ん王いふ我與ふべしと
let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 されど王サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテを惜めり是は彼等のあひだ即ちダビデとサウルの子ヨナタンとの間にヱホバを指して爲る誓あるに因り
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 されど王アヤの女リヅパがサウルに生し二人の子アルモニとメピボセテおよびサウルの女メラブがメホラ人バルジライの子アデリエルに生し五人の子を取りて
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
9 かれらをギベオン人の手に與へければギベオン人かれらを山の上にてヱホバの前に懸たり彼等七人倶に斃れて刈穫の初日即ち大麥刈の初時に死り
and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 アヤの女リヅパ麻布を取りて刈穫の初時より其屍上に天より雨ふるまでこれをおのれのために磐の上に布きおきて晝は空の鳥を屍の上に止らしめず夜は野の獣をちかよらしめざりき
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 爰にアヤの女サウルの妾リヅパの爲しことダビデに聞えければ
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 ダビデ往てサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨をヤベシギレアデの人々の所より取り是はペリシテ人がサウルをギルボアに殺してベテシヤンの衢に懸たるをかれらが竊みさりたるものなり
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
13 ダビデ其處よりサウルの骨と其子ヨナタンの骨を携へ上れりまた人々其懸られたる者等の骨を斂たり
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 かくてサウルと其子ヨナタンの骨をベニヤミンの地のゼラにて其父キシの墓に葬り都て王の命じたる所を爲り比より後神其地のため祈祷を聽たまへり
And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.
15 ペリシテ人復イスラエルと戰爭を爲すダビデ其臣僕とともに下りてペリシテ人と戰ひけるがダビデ困憊居りければ
And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.
16 イシビベノブ、ダビデを殺さんと思へり(イシビベノブは巨人の子等の一人にて其槍の銅の重は三百シケルあり彼新しき劒を帶たり)
And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah — the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] — thought to smite David.
17 しかれどもゼルヤの子アビシヤイ、ダビデを助けて其ペリシテ人を撃ち殺せり是においてダビデの從者かれに誓ひていひけるは汝は再我儕と共に戰爭に出べからず恐らくは爾イスラエルの燈光を消さんと
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 此後再びゴブにおいてペリシテ人と戰あり時にホシヤ人シベカイ巨人の子等の一人なるサフを殺せり
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.
19 爰に復ゴブにてペリシテ人と戰あり其處にてベテレヘム人ヤレオレギムの子エルハナン、ガテのゴリアテの兄弟ラミを殺せり其槍の柄は機の梁の如くなりき
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 又ガテに戰ありしが其處に一人の身長き人あり手には各六の指あり足には各六の指ありて其數合せて二十四なり彼もまた巨人の生る者なり
And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.
21 彼イスラエルを挑みしかばダビデに兄弟シメアの子ヨナタン彼を殺せり
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
22 是らの四人はガテにて巨人の生るものなりしがダビデの手と其臣僕の手に斃れたり
These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
