サムエル記Ⅱ 5
1 爰にイスラエルの支派咸くヘブロンにきたりダビデにいたりていひけるは視よ我儕は汝の骨肉なり
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2 前にサウルが我儕の王たりし時にも汝はイスラエルを率ゐて出入する者なりきしかしてヱホバ汝に汝わが民イスラエルを牧養はん汝イスラエルの君長とならんといひたまへりと
Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3 斯くイスラエルの長老皆ヘブロンにきたり王に詣りければダビデ王ヘブロンにてヱホバのまへにかれらと契約をたてたり彼らすなはちダビデに膏を灑でイスラエルの王となす
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
4 ダビデは王となりし時三十歳にして四十年の間位に在き
David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
5 即ちヘブロンにてユダを治むること七年と六箇月またエルサレムにてイスラエルとユダを全く治むること三十三年なり
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 茲に王其從者とともにエルサレムに往き其地の居民ヱブス人を攻んとすヱブス人ダビデに語りていひけるは汝此に入ること能はざるべし反て盲者跛者汝を追はらはんと是彼らダビデ此に入るあたはずと思へるなり
Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”
7 然るにダビデ、シオンの要害を取り是即ちダビデの城邑なり
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
8 ダビデ其日いひけるは誰にても水道にいたりてヱブス人を撃ちまたダビデの心の惡める跛者と盲者を撃つ者は(首となし長となさん)と是によりて人々盲者と跛者は家に入るべからずといひなせり
On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”
9 ダビデ其要害に住て之をダビデの城邑と名けたりまたダビデ、ミロ(城塞)より内の四方に建築をなせり
So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
10 かくてダビデはますます大に成りゆき且萬軍の神ヱホバこれと共にいませり
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.
11 ツロの王ヒラム使者をダビデに遣はして香柏および木匠と石工をおくれり彼らダビデの爲に家を建つ
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
12 ダビデ、ヱホバのかたく己をたててイスラエルの王となしたまへるを暁りまたヱホバの其民イスラエルのために其國を興したまひしを暁れり
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13 ダビデ、ヘブロンより來りし後エルサレムの中よりまた妾と妻を納たれば男子女子またダビデに生る
After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 ヱルサレムにて彼に生れたる者の名はかくのごとしシヤンマ、シヨバブ、ナタン、ソロモン
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 イブハル、エリシユア、ネペグ、ヤピア
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 エリシヤマ、エリアダ、エリバレテ
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 爰に膏を沃いでダビデをイスラエルの王と爲し事ペリシテ人に聞えければペリシテ人皆ダビデを獲んとて上るダビデ聞て要害に下れり
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
18 ペリシテ人臻りてレバイムの谷に布き備たり
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 ダビデ、ヱホバに問ていひけるは我ペリシテ人にむかひて上るべきや汝かれらをわが手に付したまふやヱホバ、ダビデにいひたまひけるは上れ我必らずペリシテ人を汝の手にわたさん
So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 ダビデ、バアルペラジムに至りかれらを其所に撃ていひけるはヱホバ水の破壞り出るごとく我敵をわが前に破壞りたまへりと是故に其所の名をバアルペラジム(破壞の處)と呼ぶ
So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.
21 彼處に彼等其偶像を遺たればダビデと其從者これを取あげたり
There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.
22 ペリシテ人再び上りてレバイムの谷に布き備へたれば
Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 ダビデ、ヱホバに問にヱホバいひたまひけるは上るべからず彼等の後にまはりベカの樹の方より彼等を襲へ
So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
24 汝ベカの樹の上に進行の音を聞ばすなけち突出づべし其時にはヱホバ汝のまへにいでてペリシテ人の軍を撃たまふべければなりと
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
25 ダビデ、ヱホバのおのれに命じたまひしごとくなしペリシテ人を撃てゲバよりガゼルにいたる
So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
