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 sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

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 an 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 your heart; for the LORD is with you.

4 其夜ヱホバの言ナタンに臨みていはく

And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD 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 the LORD, Shall you build me an 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

Whereas I have not dwelled in any house since the time that I brought up the children 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 the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build you not me an 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 so shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler 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 was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name, like to the name of the great men that are in 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

Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

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 since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that he will make you an 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

And when your days be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your 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 an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

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 commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children 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 mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

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 your house and your kingdom shall be established for ever before you: your throne shall be established for ever.

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 did Nathan speak 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 went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?

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 your sight, O Lord GOD; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

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 you? for you, Lord GOD, know your servant.

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 your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all these great things, to make your servant know them.

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

Why you are great, O LORD God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, 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 in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for your land, before your people, which you redeemed to you from 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

For you have confirmed to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you for ever: and you, LORD, are become 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 LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as you have said.

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 your name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of your servant David be established before you.

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 you, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you an house: therefore has your servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

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 GOD, you are that God, and your words be true, and you have promised this goodness to your 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

Therefore now let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you: for you, O Lord GOD, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed for ever.
