サムエル記Ⅱ 7

1 王其家に住にいたり且ヱホバ其四方の敵を壞てかれを安らかならしめたまひし時

And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies round about,

2 王預言者ナタンに云けるは視よ我は香柏の家に住む然ども神の櫃は幔幕の中にあり

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.

3 ナタン王に云けるはヱホバ汝と共に在せば往て凡て汝の心にあるところを爲せ

And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart, for Jehovah is with thee.

4 其夜ヱホバの言ナタンに臨みていはく

And it came to pass the same night, that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,

5 往てわが僕ダビデに言へヱホバ斯く言ふ汝わがために我の住むべき家を建んとするや

Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Jehovah, Shall thou build a house for me to dwell in?

6 我はイスラエルの子孫をエジプトより導き出せし時より今日にいたるまで家に住しことなくして但天幕と幕屋の中に歩み居たり

For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

7 我イスラエルの子孫と共に凡て歩める處にて汝ら何故に我に香柏の家を建ざるやとわが命じてわが民イスラエルを牧養しめしイスラエルの士師の一人に一言も語りしことあるや

In all places in which I have walked with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built for me a house of cedar?

8 然ば汝わが僕ダビデに斯く言ふべし萬軍のヱホバ斯く言ふ我汝を牧場より取り羊に隨ふ所より取りてわが民イスラエルの首長となし

Now therefore thus thou shall say to my servant David, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, that thou should be prince over my people, over Israel.

9 汝がすべて往くところにて汝と共にあり汝の諸の敵を汝の前より斷さりて地の上の大なる者の名のごとく汝に大なる名を得さしめたり

And I have been with thee wherever thou went, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee. And I will make thee a great name, like the name of the great ones that are on the earth.

10 又我わが民イスラエルのために處を定めてかれらを植つけかれらをして自己の處に住て重て動くことなからしめたり

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. Neither shall the sons of iniquity afflict them any more, as at the first,

11 また惡人昔のごとくまたわが民イスラエルの上に士師を立てたる時よりの如くふたたび之を惱ますことなかるべし我汝の諸の敵をやぶりて汝を安かならしめたり又ヱホバ汝に告ぐヱホバ汝のために家をたてん

and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover Jehovah tells thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.

12 汝の日の滿て汝が汝の父祖等と共に寝らん時に我汝の身より出る汝の種子を汝の後にたてて其國を堅うせん

When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shall sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 彼わが名のために家を建ん我永く其國の位を堅うせん

He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 我はかれの父となり彼はわが子となるべし彼もし迷はば我人の杖と人の子の鞭を以て之を懲さん

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men,

15 されど我の恩惠はわが汝のまへより除きしサウルより離れたるごとくに彼よりは離るることあらじ

but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul whom I put away before thee.

16 汝の家と汝の國は汝のまへに永く保つべし汝の位は永く堅うせらるべし

And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure forever before thee; thy throne shall be established forever.

17 ナタン凡て是等の言のごとくまたすべてこの異象のごとくダビデに語りければ

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

18 ダビデ王入りてヱホバの前に坐していひけるは主ヱホバよ我は誰わが家は何なればか爾此まで我を導きたまひしや

Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah. And he said, Who am I, O lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou have brought me thus far?

19 主ヱホバよ此はなほ汝の目には小き事なり汝また僕の家の遥か後の事を語りたまへり主ヱホバよ是は人の法なり

And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O lord Jehovah, but thou have spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and this too according to the manner of men, O lord Jehovah!

20 ダビデ此上何を汝に言ふを得ん其は主ヱホバ汝僕を知たまへばなり

And what can David say more to thee? For thou know thy servant, O lord Jehovah.

21 汝の言のためまた汝の心に隨ひて汝此諸の大なることを爲し僕に之をしらしめたまふ

For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, thou have wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.

22 故に神ヱホバよ爾は大なり其は我らが凡て耳に聞る所に依ば汝の如き者なくまた汝の外に神なければなり

Therefore thou are great, O Jehovah God, for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 地の何れの國か汝の民イスラエルの如くなる其は神ゆきてかれらを贖ひ己の民となして大なる名を得たまひまた彼らの爲に大なる畏るべき事を爲したまへばなり即ち汝がエジプトより贖ひ取たまひし民の前より國々の人と其諸神を逐拂ひたまへり

And what one nation on the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for thy land, before thy people whom thou redeemed to thee out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24 汝は汝の民イスラエルをかぎりなく汝の民として汝に定めたまへりヱホバよ汝はかれの神となりたまふ

And thou established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people to thee forever, and thou, Jehovah, became their God.

25 されば神ヱホバよ汝が僕と其家につきて語りたまひし言を永く堅うして汝のいひしごとく爲たまへ

And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou have spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as thou have spoken.

26 ねがはくは永久に汝の名を崇めて萬軍のヱホバはイスラエルの神なりと曰しめたまへねがはくは僕ダビデの家をして汝のまへに堅く立しめたまへ

And let thy name be magnified forever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel, and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee.

27 其は萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神よ汝僕の耳に示して我汝に家をたてんと言たまひたればなり 是故に僕此祈祷を汝に爲す道を心の中に得たり

For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house. Therefore thy servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.

28 主ヱホバよ汝は神なり汝の言は眞なり汝この惠を僕に語りたまへり

And now, O lord Jehovah, thou are God, and thy words are truth, and thou have promised this good thing to thy servant.

29 願くは僕の家を祝福て汝のまへに永く続くことを得さしめたまへ其は主ヱホバ汝これを語りたまへばなりねがはくは汝の祝福によりて僕の家に永く祝福を蒙らしめたまへ

Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue forever before thee, for thou, O lord Jehovah, have spoken it. And with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed forever.
