< 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
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, 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 said to them; (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to 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
Wherefore David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
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, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] 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 answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining within 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 delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD chose. 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 the LORD'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
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for 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 delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], 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
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air 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 street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain 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 the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulcher of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for 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
Moreover, the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became faint.
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 Ishbi-benob, who [was] of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain 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
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not extinguish the light 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 slew Saph, who [was] of the sons of the giant.
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 in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose 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 yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
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 when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew 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 the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
