< 歴代誌Ⅰ 12 >
1 ダビデがキシの子サウルにしりぞけられて、なおチクラグにいた時、次の人々が彼のもとに来た。彼らはダビデを助けて戦った勇士たちのうちにあり、
Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,
2 弓をよくする者、左右いずれの手をもってもよく矢を射、石を投げる者で、ともにベニヤミンびとで、サウルの同族である。
bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:
3 そのかしらはアヒエゼル、次はヨアシで、ともにギベア出身のシマアの子たちである。またエジエルとペレテで、ともにアズマウテの子たちである。またベラカおよびアナトテ出身のエヒウ。
the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.
4 またギベオン出身のイシマヤ、彼は三十人のうちの勇士で、その三十人の長である。またエレミヤ、ヤハジエル、ヨハナン、ゲデラ出身のヨザバデ、
Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;
5 エルザイ、エリモテ、ベアリヤ、シマリヤ、ハリフびとシパテヤ、
and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;
6 エルカナ、イシア、アザリエル、ヨエゼル、ヤショベアムで、これらはコラびとである。
Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;
7 またゲドルのエロハムの子たちであるヨエラおよびゼバデヤである。
and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
8 ガドびとのうちから荒野の要害に来て、ダビデについた者は皆勇士で、よく戦う軍人、よく盾とやりをつかう者、その顔はししの顔のようで、その速いことは山にいるしかのようであった。
Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.
9 彼らのかしらはエゼル、次はオバデヤ、第三はエリアブ、
Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14 これらはガドの子孫で軍勢の長たる者、その最も小さい者でも百人に当り、その最も大いなる者は千人に当った。
These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.
15 正月、ヨルダンがその全岸にあふれたとき、彼らはこれを渡って、谷々にいる者をことごとく東に西に逃げ走らせた。
These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.
16 ベニヤミンとユダの子孫のうちの人々が要害に来て、ダビデについた。
Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
17 ダビデは出て彼らを迎えて言った、「あなたがたが好意をもって、わたしを助けるために来たのならば、わたしの心もあなたがたと、ひとつになりましょう。しかし、わたしの手になんの悪事もないのに、もしあなたがたが、わたしを欺いて、敵に渡すためであるならば、われわれの先祖の神がどうぞみそなわして、あなたがたを責められますように」。
And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
18 時に霊が三十人の長アマサイに臨み、アマサイは言った、「ダビデよ、われわれはあなたのもの。エッサイの子よ、われわれはあなたと共にある。平安あれ、あなたに平安あれ。あなたを助ける者に平安あれ。あなたの神があなたを助けられる」。そこでダビデは彼らを受けいれて部隊の長とした。
Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.
19 さきにダビデがペリシテびとと共にサウルと戦おうと攻めて来たとき、マナセびと数人がダビデについた。(ただしダビデはついにペリシテびとを助けなかった。それはペリシテびとの君たちが相はかって、「彼はわれわれの首をとって、その主君サウルのもとに帰るであろう」と言って、彼を去らせたからである。)
Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”
20 ダビデがチクラグへ行ったとき、マナセびとアデナ、ヨザバデ、エデアエル、ミカエル、ヨザバデ、エリウ、ヂルタイが彼についた。皆マナセびとの千人の長であった。
And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
21 彼らはダビデを助けて敵軍に当った。彼らは皆大勇士で軍勢の長であった。
These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
22 ダビデを助ける者が日に日に加わって、ついに大軍となり、神の軍勢のようになった。
Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.
23 主の言葉に従い、サウルの国をダビデに与えようとして、ヘブロンにいるダビデのもとに来た武装した軍隊の数は、次のとおりである。
Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:
24 ユダの子孫で盾とやりをとり、武装した者六千八百人、
the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;
from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;
27 エホヤダはアロンの家のつかさで、彼に属する者は三千七百人。
as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
28 ザドクは年若い勇士で、彼の氏族から出た将軍は二十二人。
and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
29 サウルの同族、ベニヤミンの子孫からは三千人、ベニヤミンびとの多くはなおサウルの家に忠義をつくしていた。
and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.
30 エフライムの子孫からは二万八百人、皆勇士で、その氏族の名ある人々であった。
Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
31 マナセの半部族からは一万八千人、皆ダビデを王に立てようとして上って来て、名をつらねた者である。
And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.
32 イッサカルの子孫からはよく時勢に通じ、イスラエルのなすべきことをわきまえた人々が来た。その長たる者が二百人あって、その兄弟たちは皆その指揮に従った。
Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.
33 ゼブルンからは五万人、皆訓練を経た軍隊で、もろもろの武具で身をよろい、一心にダビデを助けた者である。
Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.
34 ナフタリからは将たる者一千人および盾とやりをとってこれに従う者三万七千人。
And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
36 アセルからは戦いの備えをした熟練の者四万人。
And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
37 またヨルダンのかなたルベンびと、ガドびと、マナセの半部族からはもろもろの武具で身をよろった者十二万人であった。
Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.
38 すべてこれらの戦いの備えをしたいくさびとらは真心をもってヘブロンに来て、ダビデを全イスラエルの王にしようとした。このほかのイスラエルびともまた、心をひとつにしてダビデを王にしようとした。
All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.
39 彼らはヘブロンにダビデとともに三日いて、食い飲みした。その兄弟たちは彼らのために備えをしたからである。
And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
40 また彼らに近い人々はイッサカル、ゼブルン、ナフタリなどの遠い所の者まで、ろば、らくだ、騾馬、牛などに食物を負わせて来た。すなわち麦粉の食物、干いちじく、干ぶどう、ぶどう酒、油、牛、羊などを多く携えて来た。これはイスラエルに喜びがあったからである。
Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
