サムエル記Ⅱ 3

1 サウルの家とダビデの家の間の戰爭久しかりしがダビデは益強くなりサウルの家はますます弱くなれり

There was then long warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid: but Dauid waxed stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker.

2 ヘブロンにてダビデに男子等生る其首出の子はアムノンといひてヱズレル人アヒノアムより生る

And vnto Dauid were children borne in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Amnon of Ahinoam the Izreelite,

3 其次はギレアブといひてカルメル人ナバルの妻なりしアビガルより生る第三はアブサロムといひてゲシユルの王タルマイの女子マアカの子なり

And his seconde, was Chileab of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom the sonne of Maacah the daughter of Talmai the King of Geshur,

4 第四はアドニヤといひてハギテの子なり第五はシバテヤといひてアビタルの子なり

And the fourth, Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the sonne of Abital,

5 第六はイテレヤムといひてダビデの妻エグラの子なり是等の子ヘブロンにてダビデに生る

And the sixt, Ithream by Eglah Dauids wife: these were borne to Dauid in Hebron.

6 サウルの家とダビデの家の間に戰爭ありし間アブネルは堅くサウルの家に荷擔り

Nowe while there was warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid, Abner made all his power for the house of Saul.

7 嚮にサウル一人の妾を有り其名をリヅパといふアヤの女なり爰にイシボセテ、アブネルにいひけるは汝何ぞわが父の妾に通じたるや

And Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiiah. And Ish-bosheth sayde to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in to my fathers concubine?

8 アブネル甚しくイシボセテの言を怒りていひけるは我今日汝の父サウルの家とその兄弟とその朋友に厚意をあらはし汝をダビデの手にわたさざるに汝今日婦人の過を擧て我を責む我あに犬の首ならんやユダにくみする者ならんや

Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dogges head, which against Iudah do shew mercie this day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his neighbours, and haue not deliuered thee into the hande of Dauid, that thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman?

9 神アブネルに斯なしまたかさねて斯なしたまへヱホバのダビデに誓ひたまひしごとく我かれに然なすべし

So doe God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworne to Dauid, euen so I doe to him,

10 即ち國をサウルの家より移しダビデの位をダンよりベエルシバにいたるまでイスラエルとユダの上にたてん

To remoue the kingdome from the house of Saul, that the throne of Dauid may be stablished ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah, euen from Dan to Beer-sheba.

11 イシボセテ、アブネルを恐れたればかさねて一言も之にこたふるをえざりき

And he durst no more answere to Abner: for he feared him.

12 アブネルおのれの代に使者をダビデにつかはしていひけるは此地は誰の所有なるや又いひけるは汝我と契約を爲せ我力を汝に添へてイスラエルを悉く汝に歸せしめん

Then Abner sent messengers to Dauid on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the lande? who should also say, Make couenant with me, and beholde, mine hande shalbe with thee, to bring all Israel vnto thee.

13 ダビデいひけるは善し我汝と契約をなさん但し我一の事を汝に索む即ち汝來りてわが面を覿る時先づサウルの女ミカルを携きたらざれば我面を覿るを得じと

Who saide, Well, I will make a couenant with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, that thou see not my face except thou bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou commest to see me.

14 ダビデ使者をサウルの子イシボセテに遣していひけるはわがペリシテ人の陽皮一百を以て聘たるわが妻ミカルを我に交すべし

Then Dauid sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliuer me my wife Michal, which I marryed for an hundreth foreskinnes of the Philistims.

15 イシボセテ人をつかはしてかれを其夫ライシの子パルテより取しかば

And Ish-bosheth sent, and tooke her from her husband Phaltiel the sonne of Laish.

16 其夫哭つつ歩みて其後にしたがひて倶にバホリムにいたりしがアブネルかれに歸り往けといひければすなはち歸りぬ

And her husband went with her, and came weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurim: then saide Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So he returned.

17 アブネル、イスラエルの長老等と語りていひけるは汝ら前よりダビデを汝らの王となさんことを求め居たり

And Abner had communication with the Elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for Dauid in times past, that he might be your King.

18 されば今これをなすべし其はヱホバ、ダビデに付て語りて我わが僕ダビデの手を以てわが民イスラエルをペリシテ人の手よりまたその諸の敵の手より救ひいださんといひたまひたればなりと

Nowe then doe it: for the Lord hath spoken of Dauid, saying, By the hand of my seruant Dauid I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistims, and out of the handes of all their enemies.

19 アブネル亦ベニヤミンの耳に語れりしかしてアブネル自らイスラエルおよびベニヤミンの全家の善とおもふ所をヘブロンにてダビデの耳に告んとて往り

Also Abner spake to Beniamin, and afterward Abner went to speake with Dauid in Hebron, concerning all that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Beniamin.

20 すなはちアブネル二十人をしたがへてヘブロンにゆきてダビデの許にいたりければダビデ、アブネルと其したがへる從者のために酒宴を設けたり

So Abner came to Dauid to Hebron, hauing twentie men with him, and Dauid made a feast vnto Abner, and to the men that were with him.

21 アブネル、ダビデにいひけるは我起てゆきイスラエルをことごとくわが主王の所に集めて彼等に汝と契約を立しめ汝をして心の望む所の者をことごとく治むるにいたらしめんと是においてダビデ、アブネルを歸してかれ安然に去り

Then Abner sayde vnto Dauid, I will rise vp, and goe gather all Israel vnto my lorde the King, that they may make a couenant with thee, and that thou mayest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then Dauid let Abner depart, who went in peace.

22 時にダビデの臣僕およびヨアブ人の國を侵して歸り大なる掠取物を携へきたれり然どアブネルはタビデとともにヘブロンにはをらざりき其はダビデかれを歸してかれ安然に去りたればなり

And beholde, the seruants of Dauid and Ioab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with them (but Abner was not with Dauid in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace)

23 ヨアブおよびともにありし軍兵皆かへりきたりしとき人々ヨアブに告ていひけるはネルの子アブネル王の所にきたりしが王かれを返してかれ安然にされりと

When Ioab, and all the hoste that was with him were come, men tolde Ioab, saying, Abner the sonne of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.

24 ヨアブ王に詣りていひけるは汝何を爲したるやアブネル汝の所にきたりしに汝何故にかれを返して去ゆかしめしや

Then Ioab came to the King, and saide, What hast thou done? beholde, Abner came vnto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed?

25 汝ネルの子アブネルが汝を誑かさんとてきたり汝の出入を知りまた汝のすべて爲す所を知んために來りしを知ると

Thou knowest Abner the sonne of Ner: for he came to deceiue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to knowe all that thou doest.

26 かくてヨアブ、ダビデの所より出來り使者をつかはしてアブネルを追しめたれば使者シラの井よりかれを將返れりされどダビデは知ざりき

And when Ioab was gone out from Dauid, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him againe from the well of Siriah vnknowing to Dauid.

27 アブネル、ヘブロンに返りしかばヨアブ彼と密に語らんとてかれを門の内に引きゆき其處にてその腹を刺てこれを殺し己の兄弟アサヘルの血をむくいたり

And when Abner was come againe to Hebron, Ioab tooke him aside in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and smote him vnder the fift ryb, that he dyed, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

28 其後ダビデ聞ていひけるは我と我國はネルの子アブネルの血につきてヱホバのまへに永く罪あることなし

And when afterwarde it came to Dauids eare, he saide, I and my kingdome are giltlesse before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the sonne of Ner.

29 其罪はヨアブの首と其父の全家に歸せよねがはくはヨアブの家には白濁を疾ものか癩病人か杖に倚ものか劍に仆るものか食物に乏しき者か絶ゆることあらざれと

Let the blood fall on the head of Ioab, and on all his fathers house, that the house of Ioab be neuer without some that haue running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staffe, or that doeth fall on the sworde, or that lacketh bread.

30 ヨアブとその弟アビシヤイのアブネルを殺したるは彼がギベオンにて戰陣のうちにおのれの兄弟アサヘルをころせしによれり

(So Ioab and Abishai his brother slewe Abner, because he had slaine their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battel)

31 ダビデ、ヨアブおよびおのれとともにある民にいひけるは汝らの衣服を裂き麻の衣を著てアブネルのために哀哭くべしとダビデ王其棺にしたがふ

And Dauid said to Ioab, and to al the people that were with him, Rent your clothes, and put on sackecloth, and mourne before Abner: and King Dauid him selfe followed the beare.

32 人衆アブネルをヘブロンに葬れり王聲をあげてアブネルの墓に哭き又民みな哭けり

And when they had buryed Abner in Hebron, the King lift vp his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and all the people wept.

33 王アブネルの爲に悲の歌を作りて云くアブネル如何にして愚なる人の如くに死けん

And the King lamented ouer Abner, and sayde, Dyed Abner as a foole dyeth?

34 汝の手は縛もあらず汝の足は鏈にも繋れざりしものを嗚呼汝は惡人のために仆る人のごとくにたふれたり斯て民皆再びかれのために哭けり

Thine handes were not bounde, nor thy feete tyed in fetters of brasse: but as a man falleth before wicked men, so diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.

35 民みな日のあるうちにダビデにパンを食はしめんとて來りしにダビデ誓ひていひけるは若し日の沒まへに我パンにても何にても味ひなば神我にかくなし又重ねて斯なしたまへと

Afterwarde all the people came to cause Dauid eate meate while it was yet day, but Dauid sware, saying, So doe God to me and more also, if I taste bread, or ought els till the sunne be downe.

36 民皆見て之を其目に善しとせり凡て王の爲すところの事は皆民の目に善と見えたり

And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatsoeuer the King did, pleased all the people.

37 其日民すなはちイスラエル皆ネルの子アブネルを殺たるは王の所爲にあらざるを知れり

For all the people and all Israel vnderstoode that day, howe that it was not the Kings deede that Abner the sonne of Ner was slaine.

38 王その臣僕にいひけるは今日一人の大將大人イスラエルに斃る汝らこれをしらざるや

And the King said vnto his seruants, Know ye not, that there is a prince and a great man falle this day in Israel?

39 我は膏そそがれし王なれども今日尚弱しゼルヤの子等なる此等の人我には制しがたしヱホバ惡をおこな者に其惡に隨ひて報いたまはん

And I am this day weake and newly anoynted King: and these men the sonnes of Zeruiah be too harde for me: the Lord rewarde the doer of euill according to his wickednesse.
